Goodbye Ray Charles. Incomparable singer, keyboardist, composer, human.

not bad for a guy whose grandparents were slaves and who couldn't eat at the same lunch counter as y'all for most of his life....

rest easy, Mr. Charles.

To me he was a lounge singer. I never understood the public adoration of him. He contributed to the LA sound.

what is "lounge" ?
however, try to stay some years in music biz and you might understand the adoration.
He was a great musician and also a great song writer over decades.
