Ray Charles Robinson
1930-2004
His music will live on forever.
My mom woke me up early this morning to tell me that Ray Charles had passed away. I just can't believe it. I've been a fan of his since as far back as I can remember. His music has been a huge influence on my life.
"What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man."
-- Ray Charles
The word "piano" is really an abbreviation for the word "pianoforte."
