Please post the day/night and time - I am hoping one of the music channels or A&E or someone will do a RC special this weekend.

1. I host a '60s and '70s soul show on college radio, and plan to devote...

...at least the first 90 minutes of my three-hour show to Uncle Ray.

THE SOUL EXPRESS runs from 9:00-midnight Eastern Time on Saturdays. You can log on to the webcast here:

3. A Ray Charles show on MTV?!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

<whew> That was a good one. Seriously, though, the only thing the vast majority of MTV watchers know Ray Charles for is the Powerball commercials.

6. I used MTV as an example

MTV sucks these days, I know
Ray Charles was on CMT (Country Music) a few weeks ago
He got 2 songs in, and sang Behind Closed Doors, one of the other chosen songs.

About: Ray Charles / Travis Tritt
Music legend Ray Charles hits the stage with country music Travis Tritt. In the special, Ray Charles talks about his Mom letting him stay up late only on Saturday nights so he could listen to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of his classic "Modern Sounds of Country and Western Music" album. This episode of CMT Crossroads really shows how these two artists can come together and show how their musical roots and Georgia heritage collide. And the blending of their soulful voices will send chills up your spine.
