[wilheim]

Ray Charles, known for tunes like Georgia on My Mind and What'd I Say, passed away Thursday morning. Charles died at his Beverly Hills home surrounded by family and friends, said spokesman Jerry Digney.

I attended a Ray Charles concert back in 1969 and still remember the magical and most original sound of Ray Charles. I have been a lifelong fan.

Obit.

I always loved that song "Busted"

Quote from song

"I called up my brother to ask for a loan, but I was busted"

I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore

America was great as well

We regret that we never saw the Greatness that was RC in person.

I think I'll bust out my Blues Brothers DVD tonite in his honor

This is more tragic than Ray-gun's death.

RIP Ray - you brought happiness to the world, unlike other recently dead people.
