Ray Charles dies at 73
BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- Ray Charles, the Grammy-winning crooner who blended gospel and blues in such crowd-pleasers as "What'd I Say" and ballads like "Georgia on My Mind," died Thursday, a spokesman said. He was 73.

While I am glad to be reviled, I actually thought his joke was funny and told him so on IRC. I'm was making a dumb post to point it out.

Also, I love you.

Edit: Hey, TM. I wasn't the one who made the joke. I think Ray Charles was a great musician, it's a shame he's passed away. Now maybe we can get this thread back on topic and steer clear of drama.

I just got blindsided...

genetic freak you don't know who he is? are you blind to the music world? you can't just go blindly listening to whatever is new and hip, you have to feel around for the old classics, and really listen for things.

all kidding aside, it doesn't really affect me that much, it sucks that a great entertainer has died, but in the long run, they all die, and he really hasn't done much in the last few years, so it's not like we're now going to be missing the latest and greatest from him.

I still feel kinda bad though, it's always a little sucky when someone like him, who really was a legend dies.

Oh no ! I really love Ray Charles. That's just blimin sad. I mean he had this really cool style at the piano. I used to take the piss when I was a kid but I really grew to respect that guy. The guy is a legend :( .

My mum still has a lot of his old stuff on vinyl, which I used to listen to when I was little. Great stuff.

RIP, Ray. :hmm:
