Light Out of Darkness (A Tribute to Ray Charles)

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars and said that "...Horn sounds nothing like Charles, but she sometimes captures his spirit...While emphasizing ballads, as one always expects, this is a fun set that includes more medium-tempo tunes than usual for a Shirley Horn set".
