Ray Charles (Ray Charles Robinson, Albany, Georgia, September 23, 1930 - B… Read Full Bio ↴Ray Charles (Ray Charles Robinson, Albany, Georgia, September 23, 1930 - Beverly Hills, California, June 10, 2004), was an American singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, and band leader.
As a rock and roll, rhythm & blues, soul, blues, jazz, country and pop musician he helped to shape the sound of rhythm & blues.
He brought a soulful sound to everything from country music ("I Can't Stop Loving You") to rock and roll ("Mess Around"), to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of "America the Beautiful." Frank Sinatra called him "the only genius in the business."
Ray Charles was born in Albany, Georgia on September 23, 1930. He was the son of Aretha Williams, a share cropper, and Bailey Robinson, a railroad repair man, mechanic and handyman. The two were never married. The family moved to Greenville, Florida, when Ray was an infant. Bailey had three more families, leaving Aretha to raise the family on her own.
Ray Charles was not born blind. He started to lose his sight somewhere at the age of five. He was rendered totally blind by the age of seven. Charles never knew exactly why he lost his sight, though there are sources that suggest his blindness was due to glaucoma, and some other sources suggest that Ray began to lose his sight from an infection caused by soapy water to his eyes which was left untreated. He attended school at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine, Florida from 1937-1945 where he developed his musical gift that he is known and remembered for today. His father died when he was ten, followed by his mother five years later.
In school, he was taught only classical music, but he wanted to play what he heard on the radio, jazz and blues. After his mother died, Charles did not return to school. He lived in Jacksonville with a couple who were friends of his mother. For over a year, he played the piano for bands at the Ritz Theatre in LaVilla, earning $4 a night. Charles moved to Orlando, then Tampa, where he played "with a hillbilly band called The Florida Playboys." This is where Charles began his reputation of always wearing sunglasses that were made by designer Billy Stickles.
Charles had always played for other people, but he wanted a band that was his own. He decided to leave Florida for a large city, but Chicago and New York City were too big. He moved to Seattle in 1947 and soon started recording, first for the label Swing Time Records, achieving his first hit with the 1949 "Confession Blues". The song soared to #2 on the R&B charts. He followed his first recording with his only other hit with Swingtime, "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" in 1951. It hit #5 on the R&B charts. He then signed with Ahmet Ertegün at Atlantic Records a year later. When he entered show business, his name was shortened to Ray Charles to avoid confusion with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.
Breakthrough period with Atlantic Records
Almost immediately after signing with Atlantic, Charles scored his first hit singles with the label with "It Should Have Been Me" and the Ertegün-composed "Mess Around", both making the charts in 1953. But it was Charles' "I Got A Woman" (composed with band mate Renald Richard) that brought the musician to national prominence.
The song reached the top of Billboard's R&B singles chart in 1955 and from there until 1959, Charles would have a series of R&B chart-toppers including "This Little Girl of Mine", "Lonely Avenue", "Mary Ann", "Drown in My Own Tears" and "The Night Time (Is the Right Time)", which were compiled on his Atlantic releases Hallelujah, I Love Her So, Yes Indeed!, and The Genius Sings the Blues. Charles was often cited for using his voice like a saxophone, most notably by the prominent critic Victor Bollo. During this time of transition, he recruited a young girl group from Philadelphia named The Cookies as his background singing group, recording with them in New York and changing their name to the Raelettes in the process.
Crossover success
In 1959, Charles crossed over to top 40 radio with the release of his impromptu blues number, "What'd I Say", which was initially conceived while Charles was in concert. The song would reach number 1 on the R&B list and would become Charles' first top ten single on the pop charts, peaking at number 6. Charles would also record The Genius of Ray Charles, before leaving Atlantic for a more lucrative deal with ABC Records in 1959.
Hit songs such as "Georgia On My Mind" (US #1), "Hit the Road Jack" (US #1) and "Unchain My Heart" (US #9) helped him transition to pop success and his landmark 1962 album, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and its sequel Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2, helped to bring country into the mainstream of music. He also had major pop hits in 1963 with "Busted" (US #4) and "Take These Chains From My Heart" (US #8), and also scoring a Top 20 hit four years later, in 1967, with "Here We Go Again" (US #15) (which would later be duetted with Norah Jones in 2004).
Later years
In 1965, Charles was arrested for possession of heroin, a drug to which he had been addicted for nearly 20 years. It was his third arrest for the offence, but he avoided jail time after kicking the habit in a clinic in Los Angeles. He spent a year on parole in 1966, when his single "Crying Time" reached #6 on the charts.
During the late 1960s and into the 1970s, Charles' releases were hit-or-miss, with some big hits and critically acclaimed work. His version of "Georgia On My Mind" was proclaimed the state song of Georgia on April 24, 1979, with Charles performing it on the floor of the state legislature. He also had success with his unique version of "America the Beautiful."
In November 1977 Charles appeared as the host of NBC's Saturday Night Live. In the 1980s a number of other events increased Charles' recognition among young audiences. He made a cameo appearance in the popular 1980 film The Blues Brothers. In 1985, "The Right Time" was featured in the episode "Happy Anniversary" of The Cosby Show on NBC. The next year in 1986, he sang America The Beautiful at Wrestlemania 2. In a Pepsi Cola commercial of the early 1990s, Charles popularized the catchphrase "You Got the Right One, Baby!" plus he helped in the song "We Are the World" a touching song for USA for Africa.
Despite his support of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s and his support for the American Civil Rights Movement, Charles courted controversy when he toured South Africa in 1981, during an international boycott of the country because of its apartheid policy.
Charles recorded a cover version of the Japanese band Southern All Stars' song "Itoshi no Ellie" as "Ellie My Love" for a Suntory TV advertisement, reaching #3 on Japan's Oricon chart. Eventually, it sold more than 400,000 copies, and became that year's best-selling single performed by a Western artist for the Japanese music market.
Besides winning 17 Grammy Awards in his career (include five posthumous ones), Charles was also honored in many other ways. In 1979, he was one of the first honorees of the Georgia State Music Hall of Fame being recognized for being a musician born in the state. Ray's version of "Georgia On My Mind" was made into the official state song for Georgia. In 1981, he was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was one of the first inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural ceremony in 1986. He received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1986. In 1987, he was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1991, he was inducted to the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. In 1998 he was awarded the Polar Music Prize together with Ravi Shankar in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2004 he was inducted to the Jazz Hall of Fame, and inducted to the National Black Sports & Entertainment Hall of Fame. Also in 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
The Grammy Awards of 2005 were dedicated to Charles.
On December 7, 2007, Ray Charles Plaza was opened in Albany, Georgia, with a revolving, lighted bronze sculpture of Charles seated at a piano.
On December 26, 2007, Ray Charles was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

On August 24, 2005, the United States Congress honored Charles by dedicating and renaming the former West Adams Station post office in Los Angeles the "Ray Charles Station".
Charles has also appeared at two Presidential inaugurations in his lifetime. In 1985, he performed for Ronald Reagan's second inauguration, and in 1993 performed for Bill Clinton's first inauguration.
In the late '80s and early '90s, Charles made appearances on The Super Dave Osbourne Show, where he performed and appeared in a few vignettes where he was somehow driving a car, often as Super Dave's chauffeur. At the height of his newfound fame in the early nineties, Charles did guest vocals for quite a few projects. He also appeared (with Chaka Khan) on long time friend Quincy Jones' hit "I'll Be Good to You" in 1990, from Jones' album Back on the Block.
Following Jim Henson's death in 1990, Ray Charles appeared in the one-hour CBS tribute, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. He gave a short speech about the deceased, stating that Henson "took a simple song and a piece of felt and turned it into a moment of great power". Charles was referring to the song "It's Not Easy Being Green", which Charles later performed with the rest of the Muppet cast in a tribute to Henson's legacy.
During the sixth season of Designing Women, Ray Charles vocally performed "Georgia On My Mind", rather than the song being rendered by other musicians without lyrics as in the previous five seasons
During his life he received eight honorary doctorates, the last from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2003. Later that same year, he performed his 10,000th career concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
Charles finalized "Genius Loves Company" a duets album in 2004, which posthumously became the best selling album of his career. Norah Jones, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Michael McDonald, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, Johnny Mathis and James Taylor are just a few of the notable artists involved with the project.
Charles was awarded the prestigious "President's Merit Award" from the Grammy(r) organization and was named a City of Los Angeles "Cultural Treasure" by LA Mayor James Hahn during "African American Heritage Month" in a ceremony that he attended. He also received the NAACP Image Awards' "Hall of Fame Award."
Charles died in July 2004 in California. Three months later, his biopic "Ray" opened in theaters. The performance of Jamie Foxx as Ray gave him an Oscar for best lead performance in a feature film.
Recently, a series of slot machines were designed in Charles' name for the visually handicapped and the legendary performer was also named a "living legend" by the Library of Congress.
Charles once told an interviewer from USA Today, "Music to me is just like breathing. I have to have it. It's part of me."

Ray Charles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the girls in town are crazy 'bout me
That's easy to see, crazy 'bout me
And If I had my way, I'd marry them all
Be having a ball, and marry them all
I love to dress in style, wear a Sunday smile
And keep a pocket full of money for fun
I love the life I live and plan the time to give
A friendly word and favours to everyone
And that's why all the boys in town are jealous of me
No reason to be, so jealous of me
There's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be
I love the life I live and plan the time to give
A friendly word and favours to everyone
I love to dress in style, wear a Sunday smile
And keep a pocket full of money for fun
And that's why all the girls in town are crazy 'bout me
That's easy to see, they're crazy 'bout me
But there's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be
That's easy to see, crazy 'bout me
And If I had my way, I'd marry them all
Be having a ball, and marry them all
I love to dress in style, wear a Sunday smile
And keep a pocket full of money for fun
I love the life I live and plan the time to give
A friendly word and favours to everyone
No reason to be, so jealous of me
There's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be
I love the life I live and plan the time to give
A friendly word and favours to everyone
I love to dress in style, wear a Sunday smile
And keep a pocket full of money for fun
And that's why all the girls in town are crazy 'bout me
That's easy to see, they're crazy 'bout me
But there's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be

Line by Line Meaning
All the girls in town are crazy 'bout me
It's obvious that I'm popular with the ladies
That's easy to see, crazy 'bout me
It's clear that I have a strong appeal and charm
And If I had my way, I'd marry them all
If I could, I would indulge in my popularity and be with every girl
Be having a ball, and marry them all
I would be living the high life while tying the knot with multiple women
I love to dress in style, wear a Sunday smile
I enjoy looking good and always putting on a happy face
And keep a pocket full of money for fun
I always have disposable income for my own leisure and enjoyment
I love the life I live and plan the time to give
I'm content with my current lifestyle and make an effort to be generous and kind
A friendly word and favours to everyone
I try to be cordial and helpful to everyone I meet
And that's why all the boys in town are jealous of me
Other men are envious of me because of my success with women and happy life
No reason to be, so jealous of me
There's really no need to be envious of me
There's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Despite my popularity, there is only one woman for me who is very kind and loving
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be
My special lady is as delightful to me as sugar
And that's why all the girls in town are crazy 'bout me
The ladies are drawn to me because of my good looks, charm, and success
That's easy to see, they're crazy 'bout me
It's obvious that I have a strong appeal to the opposite sex
But there's just one for me, she's sweet as can be
Despite being attractive to many women, I am content with the one woman who is perfect for me
Like sugar to me, she's sweet as can be
My special lady is as delightful to me as sugar

Hmm, Ellen has space set up for her show guests to walk through room which has free gifts offered so each person goes home with a few goodies but a security camera catches a grown woman in the act of stealing. Then Ellen shows this to the viewers.
So, an audience guest ignores the rules; thinks she deserves more gifts than the others who were taking their gifts on the good faith system of honesty, and this woman thinks she is special and entitled to more.
You think Ellen, the host gift-giver is in the wrong for humorously but effectively shaming the chick who thought she was entitled to more than the rest? Interesting.
Ellen D is one of the most kind-hearted most generous people on the planet and generously gives a large portion of what her life's work has afforded her. Are you one of the hater crowd who think actors and musicians do not work hard & don't deserve their wealth?
Many of us really don't get this weird new anti-Hollywood, ant-TV, anti-music mentality. Where did that come from?
The snide and nasty insult on "MZ. Ellen" said all anyone needed to get your drift. You imply she "enjoys demeaning", "enjoys hurting others". You are bigoted, prejudiced and incorrect.
Her philanthropic endeavors include donating millions of dollars to help fight hunger, fight cancer and ending bullying. She launched the Small Change Campaign with Ben Affleck that contributes to fighting hunger throughout the United States. (taken off the internet as is)
One of Ellen's biggest charitable endeavors is the Campus for Rwanda, the community is building that will help educate young people, highlight the life's work of scientist naturalist Dian Fossey in saving the endangered mountain gorilla.
Building the campus is giving thousands of jobs to an impoverished community once under the ruin of violent Poachers. Do you have any idea of the billions Ellen has given to help the poor, the needy and endangered species she care for? Same goes for hundreds of other wealthy actors & musicians who give demonstrably to the disadvantaged. Or those providing musical instruments & theatrical equipment for our kids now deprived of Culture & the Arts due to Republican cuts on Education & Social Programs.
Hm.
Are you among the newly hatched entitled class of people of the anti-social mindset who think anybody should do whatever they damn well please, if they can get away with it!
Society can only succeeds when each person comprehends boundaries, knows the difference between right & wrong, obeys the laws put in place to keep civil order, don't you?
Or do you believe people can take law into their own hands and act as law enforcement, judge & jury by anointing him/herself vigilante?
