I can't believe he was only 73. I thought he was in his 80s!

Oh Nooooo. I loved it when he sang Georgia on my mind. I love all of his songs.

His rendition of America The Beautiful kept me sane after 9/11.

Now on top of Reagan Week, the libs will have to put up with endless renditions of Ray Charles singing "America the Beautiful."

Poor babies.

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

We are sure losing a lot of good Americans this week. My prayers to his family and for him. Music has lost a giant.

WOW! I really, really liked Ray Charles.

No one sang 'Ruby'; 'Georgia'; or especially, 'America the Beautiful' like he did. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up! WOW!
