“The Last Days of Brother Ray” by David Ritz

In David Ritz article “The Last Days of Brother Ray”, Ritz captures the human side to the notorious Ray Charles. Ray’s beliefs, standards, and values are clearly stated throughout Ritz’s piece. Ray loves music, women and life. There is no time for pondering only time to evolve, move on and stun the world with more wonderful music. Throughout Ritz’s journey learning about Ray and his ways, there is a sort of transformation that takes place in Ray while interviewing him for his autobiography. It was a type of reflection on life. For all of his life, Ray did what he knew how to do best and that was music. This type of attitude won him great success as well as a guilty conscience since he didn’t let anything or anybody stand in his way to immortality.

Gangster by blood.
