My thoughts about Ray Charles is that he had a hard life to
begin with before he ever lost his eye sight or witnessed his younger brother’s
death. Ray was born into extreme poverty, and when I say that I mean that he
was at the very bottom of the list he was lower than low. I agree that Ray
never recovered from watching his brother drown in that wash tub and not being
able to save him, but I also think that no one would ever recover from having
watched something of that nature. And yes Ray was already losing his eye sight
since he was the age of five and yes it may have been from the disease that we
all now call glaucoma, but I also believe that him witnessing his brother’s
death put a huge toll on him and contributed to the loosing of his eyes sight.
