my lord, im reading what you guys are saying no offense both sides of this argument kindda suck. DId anyone say he was a god? no they did not, he was a musical genius (yes i know you already said that), he over came alot. He did sdo drugs and cheated on his wives.hmmm no offense but about 90% of musical artist do drugs or cheat on their spouses, hate to say it, but its true. in my opinion i think he deserves our respect, but remember that in my opinion you can have your own

I can honestly disagree with you that it would never happend to youhow can you seriously say that when you haven't even acheived anything that comes close to what ray charles has done? I'll bet you'll feel alot different once you've experienced even the smell of success.. Success can be a very tricky and ugly thing even if it's also what we dream about and should keep on b68reaching out for it. But success can do some great deal of changes to one person, I haven't experienced it but if seen it do terrible things to people I know or knew. It's easy to criticize someone when you haven't walked in their shoes. I know Im a little late to respond but I just have to say this. and joe, if you ever so desperatly want a girlfriend, turn off your computer, stop trashing people you don't know and get a life. And I can tell you that relationships aren't all sunshine and lollipops like you see on tv, which might also be the reason for ray's affairs.

Ray was a person, who had many battles in his life. All of us do. God created us, to give us a purpose, and we, as humans need to fulfil that purpose. Maybe all of us don't believe in God. I know that not everyone on the planet believes there is a God. Anyway, back to Ray
Yes, I respect him greatly. Despite the fact he cheated, did drugs, and similar things, he was also a man, who loved God very greatly.
See you in Heaven, Ray.

I swear you people just don't listen do you? Try reading before you relpy to things or you may just end up looking stupid. I HAVE SAID ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION, THAT I HAVE RESPECT FOR HIS MUSIC, YOU ALL ARE SITTING THERE TELLING ME THAT HE IS THE REASON FOR THIS AND THAT, I KNOW THAT, AND I HAVE RESPECT FOR HIS MUSIC, BUT THAT DOESN'T JUSTIFY WHAT HE DID. I RESPECT HIS MUSIC, AS FOR HIM, I DON'T, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND HIS MUSIC, HIS MUSIC WAS VERY RESPECTABLE, BUT HE WASN'T NOW DO YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU MORE THEN THIS. READ TWICE BEFORE YOU REPLY.

I hear ya SlimShady852003. My DH and I watched the movie Ray last night, and we were both shocked by the lack of morals and disrespect he seemed to have for his wife because of all the many girlfriends he had. I'm sorry, but that movie did nothing to make him look like a 'good' person. Sure his music was alright, but his life was terrible You can say 'you don't know him personally' but if i got that opinion from a public movie about his life it doesn't really say much for him.

Actually when I like a musician, I like them for both their personalities, their views on things, the way they dress, the way they act in interviews, if they act like a person that is full of themselves or something then I don't like them, I don't believe that you should like somebody that thinks they're Gods. Because they're not. Ray Charles thought he was a God, and he wasn't, I'm entitled to my opinion and if you people don't like what I'm saying then maybe you shouldn't read and post here anymore. Thanks. Bye.

you also gotta realise that everyone else has an oppinion, you talk about showing respect, your name is slimshady, you got respect for eminem? he aint such a great person either. what person doesn't have their faults, Ray may have had ones such as drugs and women but he overcame his blindness and the racism during his time. i think he deserves respect for that.

"I'm entitled to my opinion and if you people don't like what I'm saying then maybe you shouldn't read and post here anymore"
Chances are, people wil disagree, considering this board is for Ray so the majority of people will be fans. ass.
If what robinette717 is saying is true, then you my friend, have been proved wrong.
Oh and as far as you being 'lonely' is concerneddo you really think anybody here really gives a damn? Do you really think ANYBODY gives a damn for that matter. Stop moaning about how other people got everything and go out and at least >attempt< to improve your obviously empty live. 'Thanks. Bye'
