A Legend Has Passed...

I just read the headlines that Ray Charles has passed away. I know he is not new wave but he deserves a salute for being a master artist and musician. They do not make artists like him anymore!

You will be missed,Ray Charles! [:(]

Ray was what legends would like to be. The man lived an early life no-one could envy. Blind at the age of 7, orphaned at 15. Yet was able to climb to the top of his field. He played great piano and wrote some

This is good. Not that Ray is dead, but that this message board is open enough to admit that there are other valid forms of music out there rather than just the narrow scope we've defined ourselves by here.

Ray Charles has been all over the community
