I found it interesting that the first instrument Ray Charles played was the clarinet. Then Sax. I bet he was as good a woodwinder as he was at piano and singing....
Ray Charles playing clarinet.....imagine?

There is an album with Ray and Milt jackson where they play instruments they're not usually associated with. Milt plays guitar and Ray the alto sax. Ray sounds terrific!!! Soulful and explosive. I was just starting sax at the time and I wanted to sound just like him. - TD

wasn't it Nipsy Russell who did a routine about the discovery of America.
(said in the accent of soul singers:)
Queen Isabella: so why do u want to discover America?
Chris Columbus: Im gonna find Ray Charles
Queen Isabell: Hey everyone....Columbus..He goona Find Raaay Chaarles!!!
Obviously considered a very important find.
Rest in peace, Ray.

I have thought for a long time that they should change the National Anthem to America The Beautiful as sung by Ray Charles in 1976 at the bicentennial celebration. There ain't a dry eye in the house when that one is played.
I echo CPW.....RIP, Ray.
