Released in 1959, what Ray Charles single was divided into two parts, and is considered one of the first soul songs?

"What'd I Say" is a 1959 Ray Charles rhythm and blues song which followed a string of R&B successes, and catapulted Charles into popular pop music and spawned a new style of R&B called soul. It brought together all the components Charles had been developing since 1954's "I Got a Woman." The song's religious and rhumba elements, coupled with the sexual innuendo, made it not only popular but also controversial among white and black audiences.
