Ray Charles died today
I don't think he fit in the greatest singer thead, but he had a hell of a voice, and would fit in on any greatest performers thread.

Re: Ray Charles died today
From the Album: Yes Indeed! 1958
Lyrics: Ah let me tell you people About this blackjack game It's caused me nothing but trouble And I've only myself to blame Hey hey hey yeah How unlucky can one man be Well every quarter I get Lord, blackjack takes it away from me My friends don't come around me Because I've been so blind I can't even borrow a nickle Now I've almost lost my mind Hey hey hey yeah How unlucky can one man be Well every quarter I get Lord, blackjack takes it away from me I sat there with two tens I thought I'd have some fun The dealer hit sixteen with a five Just enough to make twenty one Hey hey hey yeah yeah How unlucky can one man be Well every quarter I get Yeah, blackjack takes it away from me Ray Charles. |

Re: Ray Charles died today
Very sad. First thing that popped into my mind when I heard the news was Blues Brothers. My suggested viewing for this evening.

Re: Ray Charles died today
Let's not forget that Ray Charles sang the theme from The Cincinnati Kid. He came with the name Cincinnati A kid with no ace in the hole On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati Had staked his heart and soul He played night and day like a demon And prayed for that one lucky day When the lush royal flush of his dreaming Is just a game away Beyond all the green felt shadows His own queen of hearts will wait But till he's king of the green felt shadows She'll wait, and wait, and wait For sure as the cards will be falling And chips in the pot, he'll remain For the book Lady Luck will be calling Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I mean the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid Whoah, the Cincinnati kid I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid |

Re: Ray Charles died today
There's a who's who of people at Reagan's funeral today, but I bet Charles's will be one helluva bash.
Read that his real name was Ray Charles Robinson, but he took off the Robinson in deference to Sugar Ray Robinson. |

Re: Ray Charles died today
We lost a great one. Martin Scorsese's 'The Best of The Blues' CD included a Ray Charles Song- Hard Times.
Ray Charles did songs that could also be classified as Country. -Zeno |
