Ray Charles,黑人盲歌手。
从七岁起因为青光眼的病情恶化而导致双目失明。
后来,他父母双亡,唯一的兄弟在一次事故中丧生。
他自学盲文、钢琴和作曲,
一生获得过12座葛莱美奖杯,1986年入选摇滚名人堂,
1988年获颁葛莱美终身成就奖,成为“灵魂乐之父”。
在Ray Charles的歌声中,
已无所谓各种音乐的类型,
什么主流与非主流,经典和流行,前卫和保守之类的境界。
有人称他为“天才 The Genius”,
乐坛给予他“开创灵魂乐的先锋”的定位,
乐迷推崇他是“当代最伟大的流行艺人”、
“最真实的美国音乐原味”。
听过他那综合了节奏蓝调与福音感觉的灵魂乐嗓音,最虔诚的灵魂乐莫过于此。
2004年6月10号,Ray Charles因肝病的并发症病逝于加州,享年73岁。

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(you ain't got no money and you just ain't good
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)

(don't you come back no more.)
Uh, what you say?
(don't you come back no more.)
I didn't understand you
(don't you come back no more.)
