abstract	Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004), professionally known as Ray Charles, was an American singer, songwriter, musician and composer. He was sometimes referred to as %22The Genius%22, and was also nicknamed %22The High Priest of Soul%22.He pioneered the genre of soul music during the 1950s by combining rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into the music he recorded for Atlantic Records. He also contributed to the racial integration of country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his two Modern Sounds albums. While he was with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company.Charles was blind from the age of seven. Charles cited Nat King Cole as a primary influence, but his music was also influenced by jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and country artists of the day, including Art Tatum, Louis Jordan, Charles Brown and Louis Armstrong. Charles' playing reflected influences from country blues, barrelhouse and stride piano styles. He had strong ties to Quincy Jones, who often cared for him and showed him the ropes of the %22music club industry.%22Frank Sinatra called him %22the only true genius in show business%22, although Charles downplayed this notion.In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Charles at number ten on their list of the %22100 Greatest Artists of All Time%22, and number two on their November 2008 list of the %22100 Greatest Singers of All Time%22. Billy Joel observed: %22This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley%22.
