He was an amazing musician/performer. I was inspired every single time I saw him doing his thing on the piano and belting out in his soulful voice... +++
I am definitely stopping at Spec's on the way home tonight. Rest in Peace, Brother Ray. And thank you for the show at the House of Blues in 1995.
MAN He was Amazing Not only for his music but his longevity his . .timeliness I don't know many folx that don't know RAY CHARLES If you over the age of 13 you know him from somewhere Rocket River A Truly sad sad day for me
Amazing. Made a very good and lasting impression on me as a little kid. I thought "that man is blind, he does not care. He is happy and spending a lot of his time making other people happy." Then I grew up to be a bitter nerd, but still. RIP.
Damn! I saw him ages ago. He was incredible. Rest in peace. (man, people are dropping like flies... it's terrible!)
Saw him with my daughter at the Hollywood Bowl a few summers ago. It was a beautiful night. His rendition of Georgia on my Mind that night ranks as one of my alltime most memorable music moments. RIP
