Ray Charles, the indescribably amazing musician who spanned jazz, rock, blues, country and more, died yesterday at 73, after a series of health problems. Gothamist was seriously saddened, because hearing his rich voice is always such a pleasure (we tear up when we hear the drawn-out versin of "Georgia On My Mind."). But, he lived a pretty full life considering all the problems he had, and we are luckier that his talent was recognized and that we still have his music to listen to. Thanks, Ray.
There are a number of write-ups about him today, from the AP, essential Ray Charles recordings from the Fort-Worth Star Telegram and the NY Times obituary also has audio excerpts of his songs. Songwriters A film, Ray, starring Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles and directed by Taylor Hackford, based on Charles' life was previously scheduled to be released this fall.

He contributed more positivity to the world than Reagan did. Put HIM on the $10 bill.
THis is all the posts Ray Charles Got?
People walked 100 miles barefoot to see President Reagan who didnt even want to know his own grandkids.
Ray Charles has bought a lot of joy and happiness to a lot of people over his lifetime, and his music will live on afterward to help people get thru bad times and good. Reagan only helped himself.
Fuk everyone who read this and moved on.
Interesting note about the Ronald Reagan/Ray Charles thing: Ray Charles peformed "America the Beautiful" for Ronald Reagan's RNC acceptance and/or his inauguration in 1984.
I have to agree - I think Ray Charles more positively affected my life than Reagan ever did.
I have searched aol, yahoo and google and was only able to find one site with Ray Charles Tshirts. I think that's sad.
