A Creative Person I Admire

"In music, you just can't escape when something is beautiful," Ray Charles once said.

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 ~ June 10, 2004), was a legendary singer, pianist, and composer. He was such a creative person that I can't help falling into his music!


Ray had a hard time in his childhood. His mother died when he was young, and he lost his sight at the age of seven, but these events didn't keep him away from his talent.
He broke so many rules of music at that time. Country, blues, jazz, R&B and even funk, Ray has set the standards of them for more than five decades. He devoted himself to create new music styles. Ray has released over 250 albums, and many of them are top sellers in a variety of musical genres. He also won many awards due to his dedication to music.
Even though Ray has passed away for 3 years and no more music pieces will come out; but to me, he is definitely a creative person that will never be forgotten.
