I always liked this quote:
"I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great."

RIP

Sad.

He really was influential to musicians and the music loving public in general. He's the guy that took the 'holy' out of gospel.




On a lighter note, who's going to do lottery jingles?

Just like Miles, Trane and Hendrix - when Ray would sing - you immediately knew
it was him.

I will miss him very much...
