I loved Ray Charles he was a brilliant musical artist. It doesn’t
matter if your color is different from another because when you love
people for who they are you do not see color. I am from the south
and the northern people had a bad opinion about a southern child,
but I haven’t let it bother me because I am God’s child and when we
get hurt and bleed we all bleed red blood. Thank you Ray Charles for
stepping out in faith even with all the strikes you thought were
against you “God made you victorious”.

It’s Crying Time Again

While we are still trying to figure out why Ronald Reagan deserved such a copious weepfest, it is all too obvious why the loss of musician Ray Charles is so painful. Hear the reasons for yourself.

Ray Charles Helped Integrate Birmingham

I stumbled across Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music while record-hunting at Goodwill. I saw ait and thought “holy crap what the hell is this??” and immediately bought it. A young Ray Charles singing country and western. Yowza.

I’d liked Ray Charles in a general sense, while not reallyknowing any of his music – I just liked his sound in general when I happened to hear his music. This album blew me away and has ranked among my favorite albums since the first moment the needle touched the vinyl. I just pulled it out for the first time in a few months and am again reminded how much I like it
