Ray Charles
 

Damn I did a search on this guy and I can't believe there's no topic for him. How many people like this guy?
He overcame so many obstacles thrown his way (blind obviously, drug addiction) and wrote so many outstanding pieces.
His last album Genius Loves Company was outstanding, in my opinion featuring some of the best duets ever.
Anyone else love this guy?

He was great, I love the guy.

A song that never gets much credit is "wish you were here", I love that song.

great showman and musician. Horray for Ray.

Dude, check out his early 60's work on Atlantic Records. Genius + Soul = Jazz is a life-changing experience. :)

i know!!!
isn't he just so awesome.
what do you think of the movie though??

ray charles is awesome

What movie? Is there a movie?

I love his music. Don't know much about the guy himself, but you can tell he's made his way through a lot with those lyrics.

blockbuster hit "Ray" starring Jamie Foxx...

i'm just learning about him myself. older music is always better to me.

he was awesome and blind hes like beethoven only beethoven was deaf it must of been so hard for this guy its just so amazing that he did all that great stuff
