Ray Charles

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American musician known as Ray Charles (to avoid confusion with champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.) He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company.Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.” more »

Separate ways
There's one that goes and one that stays
But they will meet again I know they will
You know they will

In that tinsel town of time
Let's be fair, this boring life we have to share
You know that I care honest I swear
That's what I'm yet but the facts are so unfair

They say that's pain up ahead and rivers of rain
There's nowhere to hide
And today you must make a change
So ditch us all we'll go on our own separate ways

There could be some desperate days
And when you're on the legs don't stop
And stare don't say a prayer
Just call me and I'll be there

You must be strong life is hard
And I can't stay long 'cause deep down inside
We know we tried we had our fights
But you know the tale don't lie

Listen to the sweet harmony that we used to sing
Upon other lights all the shows shown all the night
I'm back on the stage I'm turning the page

Say goodbye, please promise that you will not cry
'Cause I want you to believe in you, show me you do
That's why I sing this song of our separate ways
