Monday Music: Oh What a Beautiful Morning (Ray Charles)

I went to see Manchester by the Sea last week. It is not a "feel good movie" but it does offer excellent acting, beautiful photography and a remarkable soundtrack. The best gift for me, which I share today, is this superb rendition of the Rogers & Hammerstein tune, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" sung by Ray Charles, accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra.

    It's my favorite song done by Ray Charles. The arrangement, by Roger Neumann, is what makes it great, in addition to Charles' wonderful talent.
