Was nicknamed "The Genius"?(P.S:It's NOT the late Michael Jackson).

And here is a partial list of his hits:1)1959's"What'd I Say-Pts.1 and 2 2)1960's "Georgia on My Mind" 3)1961's"I Can't Stop Loving You" 4)1961's "Hit the Road,Jack" 5)1961's
"Unchain My Heart" 6)1963's "Busted" 7)1961's "Born to Lose"-B -side of "I Can't Stop Loving You" and 8)1966's "Crying Time".

Did this person also sing "Doin' the Mess Around" ? :confused:

I don't know the answer to that one,but anyway,here's the answer to my question:It was the late Ray Charles.Oh,by the way,shortly before his death in 2004,he did a CD of duets of his hits with other artists called "Genius Loves Company" Now,for a REAL hard one-Which late singer was nicknamed "Mr.Excitement?"(Again,it's NOT the late Michael,Jackison)Some of his hits include 1)1957's"Reet Petite"(The Finest Girl You'd Ever Wanna Meet)2)1958's"Lonely Teardrops",3)1959's "I'll Be Satisfied",4)1960's "Night",5)1960's"Doggin'Around"-B-side of "Night" 6)1963's "Baby Workout" and 5)The original briskly-paced version of (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me)"Higher and Higher"from 1967.

The late Jackie Wilson(ever heard of him?)was called "Mr.Excitement".
