Ray Charles

Late musical giant; despite blindness catapulted to fame. The incomparable Ray Charles. "Robinson" was his surname. Made hit songs "Hit The Road, Jack" and "Georgia On My Mind." Nicknamed "Brother Ray"...he's irreplaceable; truly one-of-a-kind. Date written: 11/02/2021

Who doesn't love his music, Darlene? It's timeless! To me, he's the male version of Helen Keller. Have a blessed day, my friend.

Count me in as a big fan as well, Milt! He's truly iconic in the way Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole are. He's missed!
