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.

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!
