MESS AROUND: A Tribute to Ray Charles, featuring Manny Houston

What’d I Say, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, and Mess Around were just a few treasures recorded and performed by Ray Charles. Known as the ‘Genius of Soul,’ Ray pioneered the soul music genre during the 1950s and 60s by combining blues, jazz and gospel styles. The Charleston Jazz Orchestra welcomes vocalist Manny Houston to celebrate this American icon April 20 at the Charleston Music Hall.
