Ray Charles Lives

June 11, 2004, marked the day a treasured musical institution moved to a higher plane. While the music of Ray Charles has never been specifically on my radar or in my personal record collection, I am now extremely aware of how much of a part he played in evolving the art of rock'n'roll. Expect to see more Ray Charles albums show up in my collection.

R.I.P. - Rock In Peace, Ray... and even though your vision will return, please don't lose the shades!
