Ray Charles siblings : Meet George Robinson
His sibling has been identified as George Robinson. We do not have much information about his brother George.
By fusing blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and gospel music traditions into the songs he recorded for Atlantic Records in the 1950s, Charles helped to establish the soul music genre.
With his crossover success on ABC Records, particularly with his two Modern Sounds albums, he helped to integrate country music, rhythm and blues, and pop music throughout the 1960s. Charles was one of the first black performers to get artistic autonomy from a major record label while he was with ABC.
