Among other things, Ray is prime party music in my parts. His healing powers will do you more good than most medicines. To both of those ends, I suggest celebrating his crossing with repeated loud playing of his definitive version of "I'm Moving On" which is on the Genius and Soul box set. 68651@blogcritics.org Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:21:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/10/201301.php#comment-68643 Al, That was a great tribute. Nice to hear it from someone who listens to the music on a regular basis.On the mark and very heartfelt. 68643@blogcritics.org Fri, 11 Jun 2004 14:29:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/10/201301.php#comment-68522 I think of James Brown, who played Toronto this past week, and who, like Ray, testified, despite his own failings. And like Johnny Cash said, the singer, not the song. Whatever _that_ means. And while you're at it, could y'all give a thought to Robert Quine? 68522@blogcritics.org Thu, 10 Jun 2004 20:30:10 EDT
