The seventh season premiere of Cold Case will feature the music of Ray Charles as the show`s soundtrack.
In the episode titled ‘The Crossing’ the Cold Case team investigates a 1966 shipboard murder of a starry-eyed young working-class woman who shared a room in steerage with a friend on an upscale ocean liner's final round-trip Atlantic crossing. Meanwhile, the trial against the military academy official who tried to harm Rush in last season's two-part finale begins."Ray Charles is a national treasure with a career that spanned multiple decades, making him the perfect artist to complement the epic nature of our season premiere," said series executive producer Greg Plageman. "When a body is discovered deep within the bowels of one of the last great transatlantic ocean liners dry docked in Philly, the case transports our detectives back to an era just before airplanes superseded ships as the primary mode of travel abroad." Adds series executive producer Jennifer Johnson, "We discover that our victim became involved in an epic love affair on the ship's final voyage in the mid-60s, losing herself in the romance of the ship's grandeur, with flashbacks set to the timeless nature of Ray Charles' music."
Previous Cold Case episodes have used the music of Pearl Jam, John Lennon, U2 and Prince.
