sometimes birds get the blues

Ray Charles never sold arms to terrorists
Ray Charles never authorized anyone to provide funding, weaponry or diplomatic support to Saddam Hussein
Ray Charles didn't pour American tax money into the massacres of hudreds of thousands of men, women and children up and down Central America
However, he did sing his ass off, play the hell out of a number of musical instruments and generally brought a lot more happiness into the world through his music than certain dead presidents ever did, and if anybody wants to change the money, i'd rather see Ray on the $10 bill
Rest In Peace
Ray Charles (Robinson - dropped in honor of and to avoid confusion with Sugar Ray Robinson)
1930-2004

Charles, who went blind aged six, kept a largely low profile during his recent ill health - but still managed to collaborate with other musicians.
The singer, who had made standards of songs such as Georgia on My Mind, Hit the Road Jack and I Can't Stop Loving You, had played 10,000 concerts during a 58-year career.
