so in reality, he's nothing like beethoven.

I wonder if he hadn't had a movie, if anyone would have really cared.

i would...i saw this documentary about him and a couple other artists he started out working for, Ruth Brown, and i found it really interesting. i really like documentaries on music...and other stuff

Ray Charles. Got a bunch of his music. What a great performer

My favorite ray charles moment was in The Blues Brothers movie where they sing shake your tailfeather. What an incredible talent that man had. We were all so very lucky to have experienced him in our lives. RIP.

Love love LOVE Ray Charles. His music was/is great and I love to listen to it. This will forever be my favorite song of his and my favorite performance of it:

^lol wut?

Love to Mess Around.

A huge artist.

The king of jazz? I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you probably know next to nothing about jazz.

I'd say the king of jazz should be someone like Armstrong, Coltrane, or Davis. Or all three of them.
