I'm not. I haven't listened to hardly any of his music, so I'm pretty indifferent. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Why? Were you born humming to Ray's tunes or something? There is always a reason to start listening to something new and being hot is as valid as any other...I think | |

Well I grew up hearing my grandmother singing "Hit the Road Jack" In her kitchen. So Ray has always been around for me. "Thinking like the Keys on Prince's piano, we'll be just fine" | |

I'm talking about bandwagons in general, and the general tendency for some ppl to conform to whatever's popular amongst a large crowd. Asking for proof that a thing like that happens is just silly.

[Edited 3/4/05 18:48pm] Then you are not talking about the "Ray" factor, but simply that people follow popular trends. Always have, always will. Thats not a Ray thing. | |

i'm pretty sure that a good number of young folx are just now discovering brotha ray's music and were even more buoyed by his life story...there's nothing wrong w/ that...they probably just saw him as a "little ole blind man" who did pepsi commercials...now they know so much more.
i was lucky that my parents are from the real "old school" (my dad was 50 when i was born) and exposed me to a lot of great music, including ray charles. [Edited 3/4/05 18:59pm] [Edited 3/4/05 19:00pm] | |
