With a dozen Grammys to his name, including a Grammy Hall of Fame Award, Ray Charles is known across the globe as one of the fathers of modern popular music. In a profile of Charles for Life magazine back in 1966, Thomas Thompson wrote, "...his niche is difficult to define. The best blues singer around? Of course, but don't stop there. He is also an unparalleled singer of jazz, of gospel, of country and western." The year 2002 marks Ray Charles' 57th year in show business, and this very special appearance showcases his monumental talent and timeless, diverse appeal.
