Since then he has shared billing on the main stage of the Tulsa State Fair with Wade Hayes, Hank Thompson, and Junior Brown and also performed with the Tulsa Philharmonic. Ray recorded two CD’s on his own: “I Love Country Music” and “Play That Country Music Black Boy”. Ray’s song “Baby I believe In You” was also recorded by jazz artist Bill Summers and Summers Heat.

He eventually penned songs for Nash on Epic and London Records titled “You’re the One”, “We’ve Got Trouble”, “Sing World A Love Song” and “Baby You’re Mine”. It was Ray’s relationship with Nash that led this young prodigy and developed his love for country music. As his musical interest developed and expanded, Ray began writing more of his own songs, and he was soon discovered by Reggae International Artist, Johnny Nash. This singer, song writer, likened to Vince Gill for his tenor appeal, has made a great impact on the country music scene with his incredible talent, handsome smile, dynamic personality, and hypnotic voice.īorn and raised in Houston, Texas, he highlighted the major stage as a young person while opening the stage for The Spinners, BB King, Teddy Pendergrass, and Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes. Carl Ray has just the country music flair we’ve all come to love and appreciate in the tradition of great country music.
