Ray Charles was the stage name of Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 - June 10, 2004). He was a pioneering American pianist and soulmusician who helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of "America the Beautiful." Frank Sinatracalled him "the only genius in the business." In 2003, he headlined the White House Correspondents Dinner in Wash., DC, at which President and Mrs. Bush, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, were in attendance. Astonishingly, he also performed at the request of the previous seven American presidents. During his life he received eight honorary doctorates, the last from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2003.

Bluesette Lyrics
Ray Charles
Poor little, sad little blue bluesette
Dont you cry, dont you fret,
You can bet one lucky day you'll waken,
and your blues will be foresaken,
Some lucky day lovely love will come your way.
If there is love in your heart to share,
Dear Bluesette don't despair
Some blue boy is waiting just like you'
To find a someone to be true to,
Two loving arms you can nestle in to stay.
Get set, Bluesette,
True love is coming,
Your lonely heart soon will be humming.
Pretty little Blusette,
Musn't be a mourner,
Have you heard the news yet,
Love's 'round the corner.
Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons
To make your next springtime
Your gold weding ring time.
