My mother text me the bad news late last night. I had a Ray Charles album with me so i put on his version of J.Lennons Imagine. I just sat there crying throughout the song. I've never cried at the passing of somebody i never knew before. Rest in peace and thank you so much for the music. U will be truly missed and never forgotten. You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |

Ray Charles' death saddened me more than Reagan's.
Anybody think (hope?) that a Ray Charles cover will creep into the setlist for upcoming Musicology concerts? [This message was edited Fri Jun 11 6:38:47 2004 by jackflash] *****************************************

Prince did a few Ray Charles songs at the Lovesexy show from Pittsburg 88. Bad sound quality, but the piano sitdown is classic. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

newdawn said: I believe that Prince was sponsored by Coca-Cola and then wrote the song for a Pepsi-commmercial sung by Ray Charles. How hilarious!!!
reverse order, actually. but he also wrote the "always Coca-Cola" jingle as well. btw, it was Diet Pepsi, just to be technical. don't think anyone's mentioned that. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

[This message was edited Fri Jun 11 6:38:47 2004 by jackflash] On the May 28th show in L.A., at the end of Dear Mr. Man during the acoustic set, he did Hit The Road Jack. It worked really well with that song. A little ironic now. RIP Ray Charles, you'll be missed. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

2night in lieu of the "God" instrumental in Dallas,Maceo came out and per4med "Georgia On My Mind" in dark sunglasses with Ray's mannerrisms.
Very moving and the crowd LOVED it. [This message was edited Sat Jun 12 0:42:51 2004 by ChadNPG69] ::Official Member of the 1978-1995 Club:: |

Prince wrote "Uh Huh!" for Ray Charles for use in the Pepsi Light Commercials in 1991. Prince received $7 million for the song... It is on my very first boot called "Yellow". I like Prince's version very much. It's a really cool song when you hear it all the way through. ...

He wrote the coke jingle too!!!...The bases were covered on the Diet Pepsi stuff. I need to see something confirming this Coke allegation. | |
