BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP)--Ray Charles, the Grammy-winning crooner who
blended gospel and blues in such crowd-pleasers as "What'd I Say" and heartfelt
ballads like "Georgia on My Mind," and "I Can't Stop Loving You," died
Thursday, a spokesman said. He was 73.
Charles died surrounded by family and friends, said spokesman Jerry Digney.
 
when i was a kid my uncle used to play 'hit the road jack' for us when i would leave his house.
i LOVED that song, i would dance around like a fool.
RIP

childhood poverty, blindness and heroin addiction to help
create soul music and become one of America's most enduring
musicians, died on Thursday at the age of 73, his spokesman
said .
Charles died at 11:35 a.m. at his Beverly Hills home of
complications of liver disease. Family members and his manager
were present, said Jerry Digney, his longtime publicist.

My most notable Ray Charles moment is watching "G-Clef" on the Blue's Clues Big Musical special with my kids.

No words can say what this man has done for music, but I'm sure that there will be a few lyrics that can.
