This is one of the things that really made his music stand out,(and gave it an air of sophistication)up and above the large portion of R & B of the day.When Ray did use guitar as on such tunes as Lowell Fulsom's "Sinners Prayer" or on "Losing Hand" it was usually studio wiz Mickey Baker who played on thousands of sessions during the 1950's/early 60's for Atlantic Records and other labels as well such as RCA where he recorded with Sylvia Robinson as Mickey & Sylvia and had a huge hit with "Love Is Strange". 115991@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Feb 2005 23:03:07 EST
