I am white. I am British and I am 66 years old. I am reading stuff in these comments which I find embarrassing in the extreme.
Ray was the greatest musician of the 20th C and possibly of all time. I really don't care who 'covered' his songs and who thinks he was bettered by inferior musicians. He wasn't. I was priveleged to see him live in the UK in 1963 and 1996.
Tell me one other musician who could absolutely dominate blues, soul, gospel, R&B, jazz, country etc., in the way he did.
There is no one else.
R.I.P. Ray.
