Charles Ray was born today


When Charles was born his mother was very happy. She had a tragedy in her family and then another one because his son Charles got blind. But she was very strong and that's the reason why Ray Charles was so great...

  4. I play the piano and I think that Ray Charles is a great singer and musician jazz and soul. It is really unbelievable to think to one as him, blind from when he was five years, which plays so well the piano. I like so much his song: "Georgia on my mind".

  6. I saw the film a few days ago and i stayed shocked. His power was incredibly and his voice too but his life wasn't always roses and flowers. I think Ray has been a great player but he made some mistakes during his career. He had a lot of problem with the drugs, infact assuming that kind of substances he couldn't stay firm. He also had many problems with the women because he was a latin lover and he was disputed by many women.

  7. I think that Charles Ray not only he was a good musician, a great singer and a great seducer but he was also a courageous man because he has learned to live with his blindness.

  9. Oh beautiful! Soul music: Aretha Franklin, James Brown, but especially Ray Charles! Music representative of distinct musicality of Blacks, but the social representative of the Blacks in a nation where they were treated as slaves... Ray Charles Robinson was born September 23, 1930 in Albania. At the age of five years is beginning to have sight eyes problems and becomes totally blind. His great inner strength helped him live a fantastic life in the music world. His career began with the beautiful song: What'd I Say, will continue to become one of the musical idols. Increased its fantastic musical abilities to achieve a style that is a mix of various musical genres including gospel and jazz. But it is very important to remember that even today, after his death (Beverly Hills, 10 June 2004), his songs are heard even by the younger generation because it is very original. I think Ray Charles is one of the greatest songwriters and succeeds because he managed to cheer her songs with all generations with a not common enthusiasm and love of life . But above all. I think that going to estimate its strength in knowing counteract and overcome the problem of blindness by becoming, as we all know, a great pianist ... Finally, I remember him making you listen to his very famous song:
