Today would have been the 91st birthday of one of Ray's all-time favorite musicians, Ray Charles! Ray was born on this day in 1930 and would go on to be one of the most respected and inspirational artists ever. To celebrate, here is Ray Stevens paying homage to Charles by performing "I Got A Woman" (with some "Hi-Heel Sneakers" mixed in) live on his Ray Stevens Show in 1970. #HappyHeavenlyBirthday Ray Charles! #raystevens #igotawoman #raycharles #raycharlessong #liveperformance #raystevensshow #
