Rosebud & I feel very lucky that we were able to see Ray Charles in concert together. He played at Pine Knob Amphitheater with a pretty funny comedian as opening act. Ray was escorted out by the Raelettes to his piano to join in what I think was his old instrumental track "Booty Butt". Before playing his first song Ray said it was his birthday which my memory thinks he said his 70th. The man played and sang like you would expect the King Of Soul to. After his second song he says "They tell me we have plenty of seats available in the pavilion so any of you on the hill want to get a little closer management says you can come on down." The hill was pretty well sold and not a lot of people got up so Rosebud and I walked down the hill and got 12th row center seats for the best concert we would see that year.

  1. I saw Ray in a club here in San Diego. I liked him so much I went to both shows.
    Always wanted to see him live and he did not disappoint!
