The album 'Dedicated to You' was released in 1961 by ABC-Paramount, recorded in 1960. It is a collection of romantic ballads, dedicated to his then-wife Della Beatrice Howard Robinson.
The album includes covers of popular standards such as 'Stella by Starlight' and 'My Funny Valentine', showcasing Ray Charles's softer, more sentimental side, away from rhythm and blues.
Although it did not achieve the massive success of other Charles works, 'Dedicated to You' was well received by critics and is considered an early example of his foray into orchestral pop.
