In 1950, his performance in a Miami hotel impressed [[Henry Stone]], who went on to record a Ray Charles Rockin' record (which never became particularly popular).

After signing with [[Swing Time Records]], he recorded two more R&B hits under the name Ray Charles: "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" (1951), which reached No. 5, and "Kissa Me Baby" (1952), which reached No. 8.

Later in 1959, he released his first country song (a cover of [[Hank Snow]]'s "[[I'm Moving On (Hank Snow song)|I'm Movin' On]]") and recorded three more albums for the label: a jazz record (''[[The Genius After Hours]]'', 1961); a blues record (''[[The Genius Sings the Blues]]'', 1961); and a big band record (''[[The Genius of Ray Charles]]'', 1959) which was his first Top 40 album, peaking at No. 17.<ref name=":5" />

With "[[Georgia on My Mind]]", his first hit single for ABC-Paramount in 1960, Charles received national acclaim and four [[Grammy Award]]s, including two for "Georgia on My Mind" ([[Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male|Best Vocal Performance Single Record or Track, Male]], and [[Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Song|Best Performance by a Pop Single Artist]]).

Keberhasilan chart yang diperbarui Charles, bagaimanapun, terbukti berumur pendek, dan pada tahun 1970-an musiknya jarang diputar di stasiun radio. Munculnya [[psychedelic rock]] dan bentuk musik rock dan R&B yang lebih keras telah mengurangi daya tarik radio Charles, begitu pula pilihannya untuk merekam standar pop dan cover rock and soul kontemporer hits, karena penghasilannya dari memiliki masternya telah menghilangkan motivasi untuk menulis materi baru. Charles tetap memiliki karier rekaman yang aktif. Sebagian besar rekamannya antara 1968 dan 1973 menimbulkan reaksi keras: orang-orang sangat menyukainya atau sangat tidak menyukainya. <ref name="boheme"/> Albumnya tahun 1972, A Message from the People, menyertakan versinya yang dipengaruhi Isinya yang unik "[[America the Beautiful]]" dan sejumlah lagu protes tentang kemiskinan dan hak-hak sipil. Charles sering dikritik karena versinya "America the Beautiful" karena sangat drastis berubah dari versi aslinya. Pada tanggal 14 Juli 1973, [[Margie Hendrix]], ibu dari putra Ray Charles Wayne Hendrix, meninggal pada usia 38 tahun karena overdosis heroin, yang mengejutkan Ray.
 
In 1974, Charles left ABC Records and recorded several albums on his own label, Crossover Records. A 1975 recording of Stevie Wonder's hit "[[Living for the City]]" later helped Charles win another Grammy. In 1977, he reunited with Ahmet Ertegun and re-signed to Atlantic Records, for which he recorded the album ''[[True to Life (Ray Charles album)|True to Life]]'', remaining with his old label until 1980. However, the label had now begun to focus on rock acts, and some of their prominent soul artists, such as [[Aretha Franklin]], were starting to be neglected. In November 1977 he appeared as the host of the NBC television show ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://snltranscripts.jt.org/77/77e.phtml|title=Ray Charles|publisher=SnlTranscripts.jt.org|date=November 12, 1977 |access-date=September 10, 2010}}</ref>

Pleasants melanjutkan, "Ray Charles biasanya digambarkan sebagai bariton, dan suaranya yang berbicara akan menunjukkan sebanyak mungkin, seperti halnya kesulitan yang dia alami dalam mencapai dan mempertahankan tinggi E dan F bariton dalam balada populer. Tapi suaranya mengalami semacam transfigurasi di bawah tekanan, dan dalam musik Injil atau karakter blues dia dapat dan memang bernyanyi untuk ukuran-ukuran pada akhirnya dalam rentang tenor tinggi dari A, B flat, B, C dan bahkan C tajam dan D, terkadang dengan suara penuh, terkadang dalam Suara kepala gembira, kadang-kadang dalam falsetto. Dalam falsetto dia terus naik ke E dan F di atas tinggi C. Pada satu rekaman luar biasa, 'I'm Going Down to the River' ... dia memukul flat B yang luar biasa ... memberinya rentang keseluruhan, termasuk perpanjangan falsetto, setidaknya tiga oktaf. "
