That's sad news. His rendition of "America the Beatiful" is an American treasure. A great talent.

Amen. No one could do that song like Ray Charles.

I doubt there is any other county in which a guy who beat heroin could
get so many "squares" teary-eyed singing a patriotic song.

Rest in peace, Mr. Charles.

"His rendition of "America the Beatiful" is an American treasure."

His version made my spine tingle, no matter how often I heard it. I think Ray and Sam Cooke were the two greatest [male] soul singers I ever heard

They should play it on loudspeakers tomorrow at the end of the service tomorrow, to honor him, and of course to enrage the Left as well.
