Ray Charles started to lose his sight at the age of five and went completely blind by the age of seven, apparently due to glaucoma.

He attended school at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine from 1937 to 1945, where he developed his musical talent. His father died when he was 10, his mother five years later.

On November 14, 1961, Charles was arrested on a narcotics charge in an Indiana hotel room, where he waited to perform. The detectives seized heroin, marijuana and other items. Charles, then 31, stated that he had been a drug addict since the age of 16.

While the case was dismissed because of the manner in which the evidence was obtained, Charles's situation did not improve until a few years later.

Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby before him, had been masters of words. Ray Charles is a master of sounds.
 
Ray Charles was married twice and had 12 children with ten different women.

Charles played chess using a special board with holes for the pieces and raised squares.
Charles referred to Willie Nelson as "my chess partner"

Charles died on June 10, 2004 at his home in Los Angeles, California, surrounded by family and friends.
The world has lost one of the greatest singers, musicians and composers of all time.

 
Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music.

Nelson was born just a few miles away in Abbott, Texas, in 1933.
In addition to being one of the most celebrated country musicians, Nelson has been politically active for decades.
He co-founded Farm Aid, the annual benefit and awareness-raising concert for small farmers.
Nelson has partnered in a biodiesel plant that fuels trucks with vegetable oil.


And he serves on the advisory board member for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. (interview from 2008)
