This rhythm and blues song was composed by Ray Charles through improvisation during a late 1958 performance when his orchestra and backup singers had extra time remaining after completing their scheduled set. The enthusiastic audience response prompted Charles to inform his producer of his intention to record the piece. Released as a two-part single in mid-1959, it became recognized as one of the earliest soul music recordings.
