Used to date a girl in B'ham who told of going to see Ray Charles at an African-American church in a seedier part of B'ham in the '80's. Said she had a blast.
One of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits had the cast "Pat Booneing" What'd I Say? Called themselves, "The Young Caucasians" and sang, "What Did I Say."
My friend Jimmy Walker loves to tell the story of seeing Ray Charles on the Johnny Carson Show. Johnny asked Ray what was the worst thing about being blind. Ray replied, "I can't see."
Rest in peace, Ray Charles.
