    “One of the first handful of LPs issued by Atlantic, Ray Charles (later retitled Hallelujah I Love Her So) is a bona fide classic of its genre.” — Sopa de Blues

    Ray Charles is Ray Charles’ 1957 debut album for Atlantic Records. It was re-released as Hallelujah I Love Her So in 1962.” — Wikipedia

    To the best of my knowledge, the title is set in Standard Medium Condensed (see Akzidenz-Grotesk). The “RR” logo appears to be based on Standard Extrabold Extended, but is not a match. Perhaps it is lettering.
