A Pentatonic Scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave and is very common and found all over the world.
Ray Charles is a native of Georgia and is credited as the “father of soul” and influenced generations of musicians by combining gospel, blues, and jazz thus creating the sound of “Soul”.
