Ray Charles created so many incredible songs that broke musical boundaries - mixing gospel, r&b, blues, soul, country, pop ; broke racial boundaries – bring great music to white and black audiences in the north and refusing to sing to segregated audiences in the south; broke international boundaries – going from a ruff life of sharecropping in Georgia to playing and singing around the world; broke many hearts – he had the power to melt women with his music and magnetic personality. I knew he was extremely talented but I didn’t know where he came from besides knowing that he was blind. Last night I watched a fantastic biographical movie that brings his story to life. If you haven’t seen it, I definitely recommend you do.
