The song, Let's Go Get Stoned, is an example of Ray Charles' own kind of music and is his own sound. He mixed black church music, blues and rock-and-roll and produced a very different sound.      Ray Charles could play blues, rock and jazz, and liked other kinds of music, too. He recorded an album (专辑) of country-and-western music, which was an immediate success. The album was called Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. Many of the songs became famous. One of the most popular was I Can't Stop Loving You.      Charles made himself a popular artist and an expert of soul music with the release (发行) of his most popular composition (乐曲作品) What I Say.      During the 1960s Charles appeared in the 1962 film Swinging Along, and the 1966 British film Ballad in Blue.
