A Message from the People is more totally Ray Charles than any album he has ever recorded. The embryo of this album began to form in his mind more than 20 years ago. The flicker of an idea was nurtured. Soon it became a compulsion. But what record company would feel as deeply about this project as he? Only his own.     This album is being re-released as part of the year long release program from Concord Music Group following their exclusive arrangement with the Ray Charles Foundation to develop the artists post 1960 catalogue.
