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.

I Love You I Love You Lyrics
Ray Charles
I live only for you my love
Just as sure as the stars above
I love you, I love you, I always will
I will not let you go
I dream only of you my love
You're the only girl that I ever think of
I love you, I love you, 'n I always will
I will not let you go
Sometimes when I am lonely
Have nothing to do or say
Thinking of you only
Helps to pass my lonely time away
I'd like to sit around and sing to you my love
Just moan like a mourning dove
You see, I love you, I love you, I always will
I will not let you . . .
{solos}
Sometimes when I am lonely
Have nothing to do or say
Thinking of you only
Helps to pass my lonely time away
I'd like to sing to you my love
Just hum like a mourning dove
Oh, I love you, I crave you, 'n I always will
I will not let you go, no, no!
I will not let you go
