I love his version of "America, The Beautiful". I'm sure it will be on rotation for 4th of July festivities.

OGM, his version of America The Beautiful is my all time favorite. Whenever I hear that song I always sing his version.
I too saw him in the Jet mag with Clint Eastwood and some awards show, and I thought he looked thin and sick. I thought it was due to him having the hip replacement surgery. I didn't know that he had liver disease. He is an ICON that will be truly missed.
The NY Times has a really nice article on Ray Charles that I have tried to post the link to, but it won't work, so if anyone subscribes to the times on line like I do, please read the article....very good.
