Ray Charles was the stage name of Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 - June 10, 2004). He was a pioneering American pianist and soulmusician who helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of "America the Beautiful." Frank Sinatracalled him "the only genius in the business." In 2003, he headlined the White House Correspondents Dinner in Wash., DC, at which President and Mrs. Bush, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, were in attendance. Astonishingly, he also performed at the request of the previous seven American presidents. During his life he received eight honorary doctorates, the last from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2003.

Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Baby, ain't I good to you
Nothing in this world too good for a girl so good and true
Whoa, baby, ain't I good to you
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring, yes I did
And a big Cadillac car, and everything
What makes me treat you the way that I do
It must be love baby
That's why I'm so good to you
(bridge)
I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring,
And a great big Eldorado, and everything
It must be love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee,
Baby ain't I good to you
