This kinda got overshadowed by the Reagan funeral (R.I.P. to him too) but Ray Charles passed away. A legend in music. He will be missed.

Jun 13, 2004 04:12 pm Yes, definitely a class act in all ways.
Jun 13, 2004 08:03 pm I have used more then one loop twisted off his stuff. As well I appreciated his music greatly. Saw him several times live and the shows were always stellar.
The man definately had SOUL!
RIP Ray, you will be remembered by this kat for a long time.
Jun 14, 2004 05:22 am Definately..The world has truly lost one of the great musical talents of our time. His music and spirit will be greatly missed.
May his soul Rest In Peace.
Jun 14, 2004 09:51 am I didn't really know his work outside of his cameo in "The Blues Brothers"... but I know he was an influence for a lot of others. May he see their smiling faces when they hear his music.
Jun 14, 2004 07:23 pm And as I have stated before.
If there's a rock and roll heaven, ya know they got a hell of a band!
Jun 14, 2004 08:41 pm If you want to sit down with just one Ray Charles CD and come out a believer on the other side, try "The Best Of The Atlantic Years". Oh, just "Lonely Avenue" is enough to make a grown man cry.
"My covers,they feel like lead
and my pillow, it feels like stone
I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being alone"
Any man who can overcome a physical disability, a tough upbringing and a heroin addiction is a mighty man indeed.
RIP Ray, you'll be missed.
