Ray Charles (born September 23, 1930, Albany, Georgia, USA – died June 10, 2004, Beverly Hills, California, USA) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and composer. He was a legendary artist who made significant contributions to the music industry. Ray Charles was inducted into the *Rock And Roll Hall of Fame* in 1986 as a performer.

His unique blend of rhythm and blues with gospel influences created a distinctive sound that captivated audiences worldwide. Known for his soulful voice and masterful piano skills, Ray Charles became an icon in the music world. His timeless hits like "Georgia On My Mind" and "Hit the Road Jack" continue to resonate with listeners today.

Influenced by artists such as *Wilson Pickett*, *Etta James*, and *Sam Cooke*, Ray Charles paved the way for future generations of musicians. His impact on genres like soul and R&B is immeasurable. With his powerful performances and heartfelt lyrics, he touched the hearts of millions.

Ermitage is one of the most long-lasting brands of the independent classical discography. Born in the mid-eighties with the publication of some vinyl records by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, it later released CDs of the world’s leading opera, symphonic and chamber artists.

Along with names such as *Rubinstein*, *Callas*, *Pollini*, *Benedetti Michelangeli* and *Segovia*, over the years the label’s production - distributed in Europe, Japan and the USA - has expanded to artists such as Lucio Dalla, Eugenio Finardi or Stefano Bollani.

In addition to CD titles, Ermitage offers for some years reissues in vinyl 180 grams of jazz classics (with names such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker), classical music (Italian Quartet, I Musici and others) and of Italian songwriting (Endrigo, Gaber, Jannacci,Tenco) with remarkable success. With a library of over 400 titles marketed on its own and under license, Ermitage also produces editorial series for important Italian newspapers such as Il Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica and for other editorial groups such as Mondadori,RCS,Hobby & Work.
