Georgia on my mind by Ray Charles

Born Ray Charles Robinson (he changed his name in deference to the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson) in Albany, Georgia in 1930, Ray Charles has become an American icon. He was a singer, pianist, saxophonist, band leader and composer who died on Thursday aged 73. He had a profound impact on the development of popular music; a master of styles as diverse as jazz and country, his pioneering fusion of gospel and blues laid the basis for soul music. All this despite losing his eyesight at seven years of age after suffering from glaucoma.
