Ray Charles - Take These Chains From My Heart (Official Audio)

The official audio of Ray Charles' "Take These Chains From My Heart" from the boxset TRUE GENIUS “Take These Chains From My Heart”, originally written and recorded by the legendary Hank Williams, has been covered many times, by many artists. But perhaps the most significant is Ray Charles’ cover, from his 1962 iconic album, Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music Vol. 2. Charles’ take on country music would forever change the genre. His version of the song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #7 on the R&B Chart, and #5 on the UK Charts in 1963.
