What happen to Charles Wayne Hendrix son of ray Charles?
Margie gave birth to him on October 1, 1959 in New York City and Ray paid child support for her. I heard that she gave him to her sister to be raised while she was touring with Ray as a member of the raeletts, but she was fired from the group in July of 1964. She then started her solo career, but it didn't do her any good and she later died on July 14, 1973 from what most think was from a heroine overdose. I think Charles Wayne moved to New York City afterwards and is still living there today.
