Yep. All of the great ones are passing on. I sure never thought that Ray would go this early. I never knew that he had a severe health condition. I guess that you just don't hear everything though.
He'll certainly be missed. He was truly a great musician. They've been playing his stuff all night on the radio. I didn't think he would go this young either, but I guess sometimes thats the way it is Rest in Peace
A unique musician, a unique American. If you can listen to his rendition of "America the Beautiful" without it bringing a tear to your eye- well, then I'd rather not know you.
God's speed, Ray. We'll miss you, but thanks for all the great music you left for us to enjoy.
first Louis went in 71, then the Duke in 74 and now Ray. Though it dates me: they were artists and musicians. Whatever is produced these days, mostly just hurts my ears. I shall never understand why musicians now have to introduce 4-letter words in their songs; maybe it is because their songs ain't worth much.
Then the passing of Ronald Wilson Reagan:
You gave us hope when we despaired.
You gave us confidence when we doubted.
You took the load of a global nuclear war from our shoulders.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart, Mr. President.
