Yes, I heard the extremely sad news today. I think he was blind at something like seven years of age and an orphan at 16. I've always loved Ray and even think he was one of the greatest country singers we've ever had. My memory on this is faded, but I think that, in an interview, he once said that he'd rather remain blind, even if modern medical technology could restore his sight, because he had all the colors he needed to see in his mind. Don't quote me on that though as it is a memory from years ago.Keith -
That is a HUGE loss to the music lovers of this world.
I honestly cannot say which one of his songs is my favorite
as there are so many to choose from.

Sad to hear that......Got a nice rack to show me ?Comment

It's not just the loss of a talented artist. Ray Charles - at least from the many things I've seen - was ALWAYS positive, cheerful and moving forward. Those things will be missed sorely, and hey, we'll always have his music. . . .
Adios Charles..

he was one of the greatest country singers we've ever had.
I've always considered him a blues or gospel singer...not really country.
It's sad, 73 isn't overly old...too bad, I hear he was working on a new album.Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.Comment

Yeah, 73 isn't that old, but I guess he had advanced liver disease. Georgia ! Georgia ! Man I can hear his voice singing that now.Comment

George,
The new recording will be released in late summer. From what I heard, it is a series of duets with the likes of Gladys Knight, Elton John, Willie Nelson, and Diana Krall. I did hear that sometimes he'd come into the studio feeling that he just couldn't sing his best due to his illness. Still, it will be one I'll put on my list of CD's to consider just because a "not at his best" Ray Charles is vastly superior to the majority of what's out there.KeithComment

I'm glad he was apparently able to leave his mark on the music world one last time before leaving us. I may pick that one up myself.
RE the comments of country, gospel, blues, even jazz? He was at one time, all of those things. The sign of a great musician. One that doesn't rest doing one thing right. He strives for perfection in several genre's.
Though it's been a good while since I have seen him in anything, as I recall he had a great personality as well at least on stage.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

That's definately a must buy. I've been a fan of Brother Ray since I was about 12 years old.Comment

A great lost to music and it's fans for sure.
This album sure looks to be a must own."I have come here, to chew bubblegum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubblegum!!!"Comment

I know it's a bit late, but I have to say......that was a sad day. :cry:
I played my Ray Charles CDs for the rest of that day. I've been listening to his music since I was a kid and I still remember seeing him on televsion.....in the 70s.
Rest In Peace Ray.
Your music has always brought me to a great place.TonyComment

I was in the truck the other day and channel-flipped over to NPR. Just that moment, they cued up Georgia. Aaahhhhhh. . . ..

This last cd from Ray Charles is a treasurechest of music. No wonder it took so many Grammys. However, one song is my absolute favorite: HERE WE GO AGAIN, with Ray and Norah Jones. I've been playing this great bluesy piece over and over. -

I asked Mr Hansen if i could share his thoughts on DSD that he posted elsewhere.
Here you go:
1) The only reason the DSD exists at all is because the patents for CD were expiring. This had been a HUGE bonanza for Sony and Phiips as the royalty per CD was onl $0.07, yet... -
