Ray Charles (1930-2004) Grammy-Winner Ray Charles Dies at 73 (AP) - Ray Charles, a transcendent talent who erased musical boundaries between the sacred and the secular with hits such as "What'd I Say," "Georgia on My Mind" and "I Can't Stop Loving You," died Thursday. He was 73. Charles died of acute liver disease at his Beverly Hills home at 11:35 a.m., surrounded by family and friends, said spokesman Jerry Digney. Blind by age 7 and an orphan at 15, the gifted pianist and saxophonist spent his life shattering any notion of musical categories and defying easy definition. http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=Entertainment&cat=Ray_Charles
