You Don't Know Me
You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me
I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too
You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me
You give your hand to me, baby
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you'll never ever know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me

Ray Charles' "You Don't Know Me" is one of my very favorite songs. Tonight I finally got the album "Genius Loves Company", an album of Ray Charles singing duets. On the album Ray sings the song with Diana Krall. I've never heard this song done better. Well worth the price of the album.

No, no. I meant CD. I still think of it as an album.
(Never heard the phrase 'licorice pizza'. Very cool. )

An 'album' is a unified collection of songs. purchased as a set. A 'record album' is made of vinyl.

In the case of "Genius Loves Company" as in the case of Tony Bennet's "Duets" the CD specifically contains songs done as duets. Again, that type of CD or record has always been an album to me.
