TJC_fan Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 When I read this on ESPN, I instantly thought of Georgia. Go buy a cd of Ray Charles hits. You won't be disappointed. How can you forget “What'd I Say,” “Hit the Road Jack” and the melancholy ballad “Georgia on My Mind”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 If your heartaches, seems to hang around, too long And your blues, keep getting blue-er, with each song Remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky So let your hair down now, and baby go on and cry. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptrick77 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 A true musical icon whose talent was never tainted or manipulated by the evil record companies or producers -- his musical spirit sold itself. Sadly, he is a dying breed. :cry: REST IN PEACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
