RIP Ray Charles


A sad passing of one of the GREATS. Can we start a petition to have his version of "America" instituted as our National Anthem?

A truly gifted artist and a great humanitarian.

One of my favorite jazz recordings is the 1957 duet with Ray Charles and Milt Jackson: Soul Brothers Soul Meeting. Ray plays alto sax on the tracks that Milt plays piano, and Ray plays piano on the tracks that Milt plays the vibraharp. Here's an opportunity to hear his early jazz work before he became known as a great vocalist.

Rest in Peace!
