Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a British novelist, the son of a clerk in the navy pay office. Painful childhood memories, notably his father's imprisonment in a debtors' prison, and his own work in a warehouse in Southwark, were a formative influence on his writings. In 1814 he moved to London, then to Chatham, where he received some schooling. He found a menial post with a solicitor, then took up journalism, becoming a reporter at Doctors' Commons, and at 22 joined a London newspaper. He published various papers in the Monthly Magazine, following this up with sketches and papers for the Evening Chronicle. In 1836 his Sketches by Boz and Pickwick Papers were published; and that year he married Catherine, the daughter of his friend George Hogarth. They had 10 children called charles,mary,katie,walter,francis,alfred,sydney,henry,dora and edward, but were separated in 1858. Dickens worked relentlessly, producing several successful novels which created a Shakespearean gallery of characters (including Fagin, Scrooge, Uriah Heep, Little Nell) and also campaigned against many of the social evils of his time. The novels first appeared in monthly instalments, notably Oliver Twist (1837-9), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9), and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-1). Thereafter a great part of his life was spent abroad. His later novels include David Copperfield (1849-50), Bleak House (1852-3), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1), and the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870). In addition, he gave talks and readings, and wrote many pamphlets, plays, and letters. His novels have provided the basis for many successful adaptations in the theatre, in the cinema, on radio, and on television.
Pre-50's Nat King Cole was a dominant influence on a young Ray Charles. Ray obviously dug the King's genre bending piano, as that would come to be a thing Ray was known for later in his career. Nat's style was all at once Jazz, Gospel and Blues and he had a lot of chops to spare. Nat's phrasing also was probably a big influence on Ray, as it was on countless other singers and horn players.
Ray Charles voice does not fit any 'classical' voice type. The best way I could describe his voice is as a baritenor. He had the tone and richness of a baritone but lacked the 'bass' notes even high baritones can sing. The incredible thing about his voice is his powerful belting ability, it is a musical technique. As well as the passionate nature of his voice. A lot of rock singers would be described as 'middle voices' such as the baritenor, because non-classical singers can sing however they want. Sometimes it is the ugliness, that is beautiful.
He attended the St. Augustine School of the Blind from 1937 until 1945. There is no evidence that he attended any college. Amazing what what can do when ones heart has a passion, a love for what they do and the benefit it brings others as well as themselves.
he was born in Albany ,Georgia on September 23, 1930 and was raised in Greenville, Florida
In addition to being a prolific songwriter and having many hits, including "Hit the Road Jack," "Georgia on My Mind," and "What'd I Say?" ray Charles was a role model for blind people, showing that having this disability did not mean one could not have a successful career. Also, at a time when black music was sometimes restricted from white top-40 stations, Charles was a "cross-over" artist. His music crossed over from the black (then called "Soul") charts to gain popularity with the white audience.
No. This distortion of history began with the 2004 movie Ray. The film has a scene in which Charles is met by a group of protesters outside the Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Ga. It is a fabrication. Charles canceled his appearance after receiving a telegram from students at a local black college. The promoter successfully sued Charles for breach of contract, but he was never banned from the state of Georgia. When the Georgia state legislature honored Ray Charles in 1979, they didn't apologize for banning him because he was never banned.
Ray Charles played the piano. He's most known for hits like "Hit the Road Jack" and "Georgia". The movie "Ray" starring Jamie Foxx is a biographical account of his life.
Its a long story.... here it goes. When Ray was 7, He went to the lake with his 5 year old brother. They were specifically told not to go in the lake, but his brother went in. When his brother got in, he got stuck in a quicksand pond. His brother didnt know anything about drowning, or death. He thought it was fun, and was smiling and he asked ray to join in, but ray knew not to. As his brother slowly went down, he was still smiling, his eyes were happy and gleeful. As he drowned, ray froze in fear. His eyes suddenley went funny, and he went blind.(when he was alive) he always wore sunglasses because his eyes were all wonky and funny. And that is how he went blind.And please do not trust me on this story, because, at my school, kalamunda primary, the music teacher MR KAN (i dont know how to spell it) told us that exact story. I dont really believe it but, he told all the classes he taught. maybe he is just a liar

This answer is not exactly correct, but it's a good story! Ray Charles was about 5 when his younger brother died. His brother died by drowning in a portable laundry tub. At the age of 7 he went blind by, supposedly, untreated glaucoma.
