They just showed him singing at Pres. Reagan's second inaugeration service - a real poignant moment with both gone in the same week.

Through the Blues Brothers and Pepsi commercials, this obscure song made famous, will always be ray Charles.

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

My fav Ray Charles song was "Walking in a winter wonderland" had this bluesy twist that nobody else could match. Its always sad to see a classy person die who touched so many people in different ways, but if theres a piano in Gods kingdom he'll have Ray play for him.

Ray Charles enriched so many lives with his inimitable voice and lyrics. We're fortunate to be able to listen to his music always. I'd like to express my sympathy to his family.

I've not kept up with much news lately and didn't realize he'd died, too. How sad - I like his music a lot.
