Ray Charles
"Whether they be the musician cats in my band or the real cats of the world,
they all got style."
-- Ray Charles
"Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after
Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically
good behind."
- Ray Charles in a Washington Post interview, 1983
"I was born with music inside me. That's the only explanation I know of,"
- Ray Charles in his 1978 autobiography
"The way I see it, we're actors, but musical ones," "We're doing it with notes, and lyrics with notes, telling a story. I can take an audience and get 'em into a frenzy so they'll almost riot, and yet I can sit there so you can almost hear a pin drop."
- Ray Charles
"Learning to read music in Braille and play by ear helped me develop a damn good memory," Charles said. "I can sit at my desk and write a whole arrangement in my head and never touch the piano. .. There's no reason for it to come out any different than the way it sounds in my head."
