What I like about this is how Ray takes a good ballad, and souls it up and almost makes it a hymm out of it. What a loss to the music world. R.I.P. Mr Charles

Devemos ser conscientes de que a primeira atitude para poder conseguir nossos sonhos e o sentido de nossas vidas, é nos fazermos responsáveis por nós mesmos. É importante se fazer responsável das consequências de nossas ações e liderar com independência, porque a autoliderança nos ajudará a dar sentido para nossa vida.

Ray Charles sits at the top of the pop vocal chart, side by side with Elvis. When THESE TWO vocalists sang a song, it was autographed and made their own. There was something EXTRA special, and no other vocalist could do that song better. Instant gold. Today's talent cant sign aa song anywhere NEAR the signature voices of Ray Charles and Elvis Presley.

I was lucky enough to see Ray live at a small venue in 83, they blew the roof off the place and while he didn't have any current hit songs at that time he played not only his hits but new stuff as well. I don't mind saying I cried like I knew him when he went clear and to this day even with the huge success of the movie RAY, it will be many, many moons before people in general recognize him with the names we now hold as masters such as Beethoven, J.S. Bach, Vivaldi and others.
