“I Can’t Stop Loving You” is a popular song written and composed by country singer, songwriter and musician Don Gibson, who first recorded it on December 30, 1957, for RCA Victor Records. It was released in 1958 as the B-side of “Oh, Lonesome Me“, becoming a double-sided country hit single.
The Ray Charles version is noted for his saying the words before the last five lines of the song on the final chorus: “Sing the Song, Children”. It was ranked No. 164 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and No. 49 on CMT‘s “100 Greatest Songs in Country Music”.
