We don't need to capture or kill Bin LAden, we just need to sit him down and have him listen to Ray Charles sing "America the Beautiful". Then he'd understand.

RIP.

I was a roadie for him back in 97. This is sad news indeed. I also learned today that Quorthon of Bathory recently passed away. :crying:

Ray Charles' music was a staple of my early-teen years as my grandmother always had him in heavy rotation when I would go visit her. Georgia on My Mind = classic, America the Beautiful should be used in place of the national anthem at every major sporting event, and What I Say is just swingin'. One thing I'll always remember about the dude is that he always seemed joyful as all hell in interviews.

R.I.P, Ray, R.I.P.

In total respect, one last time:

God is Love.
Love is Blind.
Ray Charles is Blind.
Ray Charles is God.

Absolutely,it is the perfect version,much better than 90% of the crap people sing now.They always want to change it and make it original,when Ray had the perfect one all along.
