Goodbye Ray Charles...

I was waiting for someone to post this but seeing as no-one has I thought I would, as I think he deserved to be remembered, which I'm sure he will

Quote:

Legendary Grammy-winning singer Ray Charles, whose gospel and blues-tinged music touched generations of music lovers and pervaded a number of films, died Thursday at his Beverly Hills home after a long battle with liver disease; he was 73. Blind by the age of 7, Charles's musical gifts transcended genres, as he went from country to jazz to blues to gospel with agility and left his mark on each. Ballads like "Georgia on My Mind," R&B hits like "Hit the Road Jack" and his iconic interpretation of "America the Beautiful" were just a few of the hits that won him 12 Grammy Awards, nine of which he received between 1960 and 1966. Appearing on innumerable TV specials (which earned him three Emmy nominations), Charles's best-known screen appearance was his show-stopping turn in The Blues Brothers.

The music Industry has lost a legend.

Rest In Peace Mr.Charles.

I just heard the news yesterday on the radio. Ray Charles had an amazing time during his music career.

May his music talents carry him to his next life.
