At a time when musical genres were rigidly segregated along racial lines, Charles's radical reimagining of songs by Hank Williams, the Everly Brothers and Don Gibson demonstrated that great music transcends categories. I Can't Stop Loving You became one of the biggest hits of 1962, topping both the pop and R&B charts. Born to Lose is given a lush, string-laden treatment. Hey Good Lookin' swings with infectious energy, while You Win Again and Bye Bye Love receive soulful, horn-driven arrangements that transform the originals. The album's commercial and critical success opened doors for generations of artists who refused to be confined by genre.
