Biografía:
Nacido en Albany, Georgia, Ray Charles perdió la vista durante su infancia por un glaucoma. Fue autodidacta del piano, pero también recibió clases de música en braille en la "St Augustine School", un centro para invidentes. Paralelamente, tuvo que ganarse la vida como músico, cuando fallecieron sus padres. A finales de la década de los cuarenta, Ray Charles consigue colocar un disco en las listas de su país, y en 1951 obtiene su primer Top Ten, gracias a "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" en 1951.

MY FIRST NIGHT ALONE WITHOUT YOU - 1972
Ray Charles (also covered by Bonnie Raitt, David Cassidy, Bobby Darin, and others)
Intro: Gm F Eb F, Gm Bb F C
Verse 1
Gm F Eb F
There is an aching in my head
Gm Bb F C
From the bed I can't get used to
Gm F Eb F
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
Gm Bb F C Cm
As I spend my first night alone without you
Verse 2
Gm F Eb F
Honey, half of me has gone away
Gm Bb F C
With all the love I learned to cling to
Gm F Eb F
Tomorrow I'll have to find another way
Gm Bb F C Cm
To live the rest of my life alone without you
Chorus/Bridge
Cm Bb
Dm
You taught me how to live
Eb F Bb Dm
How to be myself and how to give
Eb
Oh, but now it's you
Cm F
Who's given up on giving
Bb Dm Eb
You've lost the thing, no one to teach
Eb Dm
You’re changing and now you're out of reach
Cm Ab
And my life tonight
Ab F
Just don't seem worth living, no, no
Verse 3
Gm F Eb F
I’ve been sitting learning how to be
Gm Bb F C
Cuz back in school I never liked to
Gm F Eb F
It’s just one of those little things I’m gonna need
Gm Bb F C Cm
As I put my life together now without you
Outro
Bb F Gm Bb Eb Bb Cm Eb G
