In my opinion Ray Charles could kick the shit out of Stevie Wonder. I mean, it might be a hell of a fight to watch given that they're both blind, but somehow I think Ray would pull it out. Well, all things being equal, I do realize he's dead.
I don't know, somehow shootin up dope in crusty old roadhouse bathrooms and "livin' the life" as it was back in the day, just somehow makes you stronger IMO. So, I give the match to Ray. Besides that, no corn rowed Mo fo should even be allowed to sing soul music unless he's from got-damned Jamaica, or something.
If you can't appreciate a good Ray Charles record I got no use for ya, sorry.
The 'ol nostalgia bug bite? Fats Waller and Cole are favorites o' mine. How 'bout Satchmo?

True, Ron. You can't beat Louie in some ways. I still remember watching him on the Carson Show (not Daley for young readers ha) and being amazed at how his cheeks went to size 1 million when he blew his horn.
