RIP

I feel worse about this than the death of Reagan ::listens to Hit The Road Jack on continuous repeat::

I know, me too. I remember listening to Ray Charles when I was like 5 or 6

rip

This is sad! Lots of entertainers are dying! Bob Hope, Ronald Regan, Barry White, and now Ray.

Did you guys know that the song "Georgia on my mind" was adopted as official song of the state of Georgia?

Rest in Peace Ray

OMG cry This is indeed beyond sad...

I know you're all gonna think im crazy, but i had no idea Barry White died!!! OMG cry!!

Yeah Barry died last year. There wasn't much publicity about it. The family asked the media to keep it silent. The story broke out later.

I didn't know that either

that is very sad

How did you find out? I heard it through the great vine.








































I'm going to hell for that.

would have been more funny if you had written"I heard it through Grape Wine" from another dead artist though Marvin Gaye

...I Heard It Through THe Grapevine was recorded by dozens of artists, and while Marvin Gaye's version was probably the best, it was not the first. I can't think of it offhand, but I bet that Ray Charles did a version also.

another great legend , i loved him . my prayers are w/ his family .
