I love his music, and he will always make me laugh in The Blues Brothers.

I was driving around outside of this wacky town in which I now live today and, as I was searching for a decent radio station, I found a station playing Ray Charles' Georgia On My Mind. I started to tear up, mainly, because it made me feel homesick. I got through the end of the song and that's when the DJ said that Ray Charles had passed away a few hours before. Yeah, I completely lost it then.

ya know what.....i'm gonna stop asking myself when ppl are gonna die. this is the THIRD time this has happened.....
1st time: dave thomas....i saw a wendy's commercial, and i thought...."wonder what they are gonna do when he dies"....next morning, the man had passed away.
2nd time: bob hope....it was his 100th birthday, and the week before there were a lot of his movies on (at this time, i didn't realize his b-day was coming up), and i thought, "how old is he....i will be so sad when he dies....." 2 wks wks later, gone.
3rd time: ray charles....i bought my dad the blues brothers for his b-day in january, and last wk we watched it together.....went straight to his scene where he shoots at the lil boy trying to steal a guitar....and i thought, "i wonder how much longer he'll be around.....he hasn't looked so hot in the lotto commercials"
(see, annie....i TOLD you.....)
every fourth of july i hear him on the radio, "america, a-mer-i-ca! God shed his grace on thee" and it sends chills up my spine. he will truly be missed.

sad
RIP Ray Charles...You will forever be missed. No words can describe everything that you had accomplished in your lifetime...Simply a remarkable man!
I'll never forget when he was on Who's the Boss! One of my favorite episodes!
