Ray Charles, by many proclaimed the creator of soul music, died on thursday. He was 73 years old.
I can't say that I am a devoted Ray Charles fan, but I am a fan of great music. And it is clear that when reading the history of pop and rock music, sooner or later you will encounter Ray Charles. He was one of the great ones. A Presley, a Berry, a Lennon. The music world today became one legend short...
And how could one resist that contagious laughter and smile of his that was always on his face when performing? Talk about love for music...
R.I.P., Ray...

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
