Where it came from
Hard-Hearted Hannah was recorded by Ray Charles as part of his 1961 album The Genius Hits the Road. This concept album was built around a theme of American cities and locations, a project that showcased Charles’s ability to interpret standards through his unique soul and rhythm and blues lens. The recording features the Ray Charles Singers and was arranged to fit the polished, orchestral pop sound that characterized his work during this period of transition between his jazz roots and mainstream commercial success.
The Australian pressing released by W & G Records under catalog number WG-S-1076 was part of the label’s effort to distribute Atlantic Records' catalog in the Australian market. W & G was a prominent independent label in Melbourne during the 1960s, and their pressings of international hits were essential for local fans of American popular music. This specific single provided listeners with an upbeat, brass-heavy version of the classic vaudeville song, reflecting the sophisticated production values favored by ABC-Paramount, the parent label, at the time.
