Covers: What’d I Say

I thought of posting this when I saw the cover by Barbara Lynn. ” What’d I Say” (1959) is probably Ray Charles’s most famous record.

I saw Ray Charles perform in the late 1970s or early 1980s at Artscape in Baltimore. By that point, he was no longer an innovator and the show looked like it came out of a time capsule. Even though it was old-fashioned, it was still great.

Happy birthday to Barbara Lynn, born on this day in 1942 in Beaumont, Texas. Here she is performing “What I’d Say” in 1966. pic.twitter.com/G4wNPKXPOL
