Born:
"In music you just can't escape when something is beautiful," Ray Charles recently said.
Added the legendary singer/pianist/composer, "Like a good song, you can't get away from a good song.

But I have just as much love for blues and jazz too.
"It's like Duke Ellington said; there are only two kinds of music - good and bad. And you can tell when something is good."
