Subject: Ray Charles has died

Written By: Jessica on 06/10/04 at 2:56 pm

According to cnn.com, Ray Charles has died. He was 73. :\'(

I loved his music. I used to listen to it all the time when I was little. My favorite song by him was his rendition of "America, the Beautiful".

RIP Ray. Your talent and your spirit will be missed. :(

A great man and a great talent taken from us...

Without putting too fine a point on things, this man's music was timeless...a true 'genius' indeed, of which we'll never see his like again...

RIP Ray...and thanks for all those great performances...

Ray Charles was the third. It started with Tony Randall.

Tony Randall, Ronald Reagan, and Ray Charles.

It could be either Aretha Franklin,Wilford Brimley Or Mary Tyler Moore.I just don't want to jinx anybody. :\'(
But,it could very well happen,I'm sorry to say. :\'(

I don't think so. Wilford Brimley will last a couple of years. He's only 79 and he looks pretty good for a guy his age. Same with Mary Taylor Moore. Mary Taylor Moore is only 67 and still in good health.

It would more likely to be Marlon Brando. I heard he's very sick.

Don't worry about Wilford Brimley.  He eats Quaker Oatmeal by the bucket.

He also checks his blood sugar... as often as he should!  That's because Liberty Medical delivers his diabetes supplies right to his doorstep.

Wilford Brimley is too healthy to die anytime soon and he's not even in his 80's yet.

Today I was eating lunch with my brother at a BBQ restaurant with my brother when "What I Say" started playing over the Muzak system. The song got to the call-and-response part where Ray Charles sings, "Mmmmmm..." and the female back-up singers then reply, "Mmmmmmm..." and then Ray again sings, "Ohhhhhh..." and the singers reply, "Ohhhhh..." and they'd repeat this chorus faster and faster until they were going, "Uh! Uh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" The sexual connotations of this coupled with the fact that we were both hungover then made us both start giggling uncontrollably.  ;D ;D ;D  Ray, you were a genius!!!
