Drown in My Own Tears by Ray Charles
“"Drown in My Own Tears" was first recorded in 1951 by Lula Reed. Ray Charles' recording featured his lead vocal and piano, with instrumentation by his band. It was his third number-one single on the Billboard R&B singles chart. It was one of his most important singles during his Atlantic period, where he dominated the R&B & Jazz singles charts, and influenced him to recruit a singing group he later called the Raelettes. This recordning is from the Newport Jazz Festival 1960.”
