I'm listening to a Ray Charles Xmas record, and it occurred to me that I've seen very little mention of him here. I was surprised to find that no poll had been done on him.

Don't vote based on whether you believe he's truly a "genius" or not; just judge him as a musician/singer/songwriter/arranger/producer.

Beautiful. Not Crap.

You can't talk shit about Ray. It's not allowed.

some of the funkiest electric piano i ever heard. love it...him...both.

Not Crap.

Seriously Not Crap.

THE VOICE.
