AUDIO: Ray Charles (2002)
Bill DeMain, Rock's Backpages audio, 26 September 2002
Brother Ray on how he's matured as a singer; on keeping interested in old songs by improvising; finding his own voice at the end of the '40s, and meeting his hero Nat King Cole; writing because he had to, and stopping when he didn't; mixing gospel and blues; on dressing sharp, and singing about love.
