Ol’ Man River

Album: Ingredients In A Recipe For Soul, ABC/Paramount 465, August 1963.

Recorded on 10 or 13 July 1963 in New York with uncredited strings and The Jack Halloran Singers.

Arranged by Marty Paich.

In 1988 and 1989 Ray recreated the 1963 chart of Ol’ Man River with the orchestra and choir of the New York Ballet for their production A Fool For You. These renditions alone would justify an album release of that magnificent program (check the audio streams offered by Wolfgang’s Vault!).
