Ray Charles: "I See You With My Heart"

If you like music than you like Ray Charles. I love music, therefore I love Ray Charles. The man could do any type of music (Country, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Rock, Classical) and do it all extremely well. It is sad that he fell into that horrible trap that gets too many great entertainers, drugs. These things can mess up the life anyone who takes them and they certainly did that with Ray. Though his drug addiction was in many ways a focus of the following 1962 article from TV Radio Mirror, it is not the only thing it talks about. My favorite parts of this article are about how Ray never let his blindness stop him from anything, despite that people kept telling him that he couldn't do it. This is an inspiring and very uplifting message story about not letting other people get you down. However that does make the drug part of this article much sadder.

As a bonus here is Ray perfroming a very soulful rendition of the country music classic, You Don't Know Me.
