Another big hit with Ray Charles, this one in 1970, Dont Change On Me - I did follow the arrangement in the intro only then Ray told me to go for it as usual....was fun to record. Ray changed the horn parts right on the date, giving them their notes, and the rest of the fine arrangement by the great Sid Feller was left in-tact, strings etc. Sid was there conducting....always loved working for Sid. And of course Ray was always the greatest! I transcribed my improv bass line and its in the Elec. Bass Lines No. 4 book (and re-cut on my Hit Bass Lines CD). Not sure who the drummer was, think we cut this about same time as Feel So Good so it probably was his band drummer at that time, he always had great musicians......Im sure Grover Mitchell is on this date, I remember chatting with him, excellent trombonist who Ray always used on his dates! https://youtube/watch?v=-DY7l5Uujgc
