Originally released in 1959, the song became one of Charles’s signature recordings and represents the energetic, gospel-influenced style that helped shape modern popular music. This printed musical score preserves a piece of the era’s popular music culture, when international songs were circulated not only through records and radio but also through printed sheet music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003ePublished in Istanbul by Musiki Ar-Ak Evi, the sheet belongs to the output of one of the notable music publishers and printing houses active in Turkey during the 1960s and 1970s. These publications made popular international music accessible to musicians and music enthusiasts who wished to perform the songs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eBefore the digital era, printed sheet music played an important role in domestic musical life. A popular song could be brought into the home through a piano, guitar, or another instrument, allowing families and friends to reproduce and share the music themselves. In this sense, this sheet music is not simply a printed song but a small surviving document of the social and domestic music culture of mid-20th-century Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1781\"\u003eFor collectors of vintage sheet music, Ray Charles memorabilia, American popular music, soul and rhythm and blues, international music ephemera, and Turkish music publishing history, this Istanbul-printed edition offers an evocative example of how American popular music was published and enjoyed in Turkey during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1819\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Artist: Ray Charles\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1847\"\u003e• Song Title: What’d I Say\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1878\"\u003e• Publisher: Musiki Ar-Ak Evi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"1909\"\u003e• Publication Place: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"1944\"\u003e• Publication Period: 1960s–1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003e• Language: English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"2015\"\u003e• Genre: Soul \/ Rhythm and Blues \/ Popular Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003e• Format: Sheet Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2147\"\u003e• Subject: Ray Charles, American Popular Music, Soul, Rhythm and Blues and Vintage Turkish Music Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2332\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collector Appeal: A vintage Istanbul-printed sheet music publication documenting the circulation of American popular music and the domestic music culture of mid-20th-century Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328306253962,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_df8ed916-fa11-4aae-b690-82c876e43d16.jpg?v=1790790639","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ray-charles-what-d-i-say-turkish-vintage-musical-notes-sheet-turkey","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
