Hi everyone,
I'm not sure what category this would go under, but if it doesn't belong here, I'll trust the mods to move it to the correct board.
Anyways, just saw this:
I know he wasn't a guitarist, but he was always an idol of mine. And a giant in the music world. Thought others might be interested too.

yeah he will be missed - he made some great music
I'll always remember him in the Blues Brothers film.... a blind music shop owner.........kid trying to steal a guitar - Ray pulls out a gun and puts a bullet into the wall an inch from his head.......just goes to show how cool he was, wasn't afraid to poke fun at himself.........
RIP Ray

A sad day. The man was an inspiration.

It just doesn't seem possible does it? After all, Ray Charles is truly immortal.
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Damn another good one gone. RIP Ray.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"
Truely Truely a sad day for musicians and music lovers.
A true loss, i was pretty shocked to hear the news, i didnt realise he was 73. pooor guy
Blues, Soul, Gospel etc, wont be the same again
" Ah man, that went down like a lead balloon."
Instead of mourning his death, I'm celebrating his life.
That blind guy sure opened up a lot of eyes!
I wanted to learn to play guitar really badly and I think that I have succeeded.
Right On Dude!!
I'll buy the first round of drinks on MSN later and everybody else can bring their guitars or CD's and we can do them Blues.
A true master, may he rest in peace.
