Ray Charles was only 73? Wow! I thought he was that old 20 years ago.

A truly truly great musician and man. RIP, sir.

He has done so many things for all of us in so many musical genres. So sad.

P.S. When I heard it on the news this AM I didn't know he was only 73 either! On a positive note I think that shock may attribute to his body of work.
