What I'd Say—Ray Charles
I don't even know how to describe the groove to this song other than that it's intense. When Ray Charles started singing I thought it sounded very familiar to Elvis. Which triggered the realization of why they say Elvis stole the sound of music created by black people. I don't fully understand nor have I researched the situation enough to give an absolute opinion, but from the sound of this song I can definitely see the resemblance between a song like this and Elvis' iconic sound. It was really in the type of rhythm used by Charles that is very reminiscent of Elvis' very catchy rhythm. There's a few sections of the song where there's just a male and female voice saying "uh" and "oh" back and forth to each other with rhythm. I was very intrigued by that because it was something I'd never heard before. It was awesome though. I liked the words to the song also. I feel that it was written specifically to be performed. It must have been.
