Â New Georgia Encyclopedia: Ray Charles (1930-2004)

Ray Charles Robinson was born in Albany on September 23, 1930, the same year that Hoagy Carmichael composed "Georgia on My Mind." A few months after his birth his mother, Aretha Williams, moved with RC (as everybody called the young Charles) to Greenville, a small town in north Florida.
After a period of rehabilitation at a California sanitarium, Charles kicked his drug habit and received a five-year suspended sentence.
By doing so, he appealed to a youthful audience of blacks and whites alike who supported a new generation of energetic young black musicians that included Charles, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard.

Â IrishExaminer.com: Ray Burke jailed - No excuses for white collar crime

In many respects, Ray BurkeÂ’s rise and fall epitomised a political era when a golden circle of powerful figures, including Charles Haughey, obviously felt they were above the law and that the rules and regulations which applied to ordinary people did not apply to them.
NO tears will be shed over the landmark, six-month jail sentence handed down to disgraced ex-Fianna FÃ¡il minister Ray Burke by the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for tax offences.
The fact that Ray Burke is in a prison cell is unprecedented.

Â Amazon.com: Ray (Widescreen Edition) (2004): DVD

Ray Charles, in my eyes, and in the eyes of many, is a national (and international) treasure to the r&b/jazz/country/pop world and is a legend and inspiration to many, old and young, black and white, musically inclined, as well as those who have never played a note in their lives.
Ray Charles is presented as a musical genius who had managed to overcome physical disabilities that would have stopped most others, but it doesn't attempt to mute the serious and unflattering personal moral problems he had with drugs and his exploitative treatment of women.
Maybe because I am a mother to two young children, I was also struck by Sharon Warren's protrayl of Ray's mother.

Charles was significantly involved in the critically-acclaimed biopic Ray, an October 2004 film which portrays his life and career between 1930 and 1966 and stars Jamie Foxx as Charles.
Despite his support of Martin Luther King, Jr., in the 1960s and his support for the civil rights movement, Charles courted controversy when he toured South Africa in 1981 despite an international boycott of the country because of its apartheid policy.
