Ray Charles once told the world what he thinks of Elvis Presley!!
Appearing on the NBC news program "Now" Charles said, "I guess I'm going to lose at least a third of my fans," Charles, said, as he spoke quite frankly about Elvis. "To say that Elvis was so outstanding, like they say, he's the king, I don't think of Elvis like that because I know too many artists that were far greater than Elvis!! Charles, continued 'Elvis was a person who came along at the right time. "Here was a White kid that could rock and roll and the girls would swoon over him." "He was doing our kind of music. He was doing the Willie Mae Thornton Jailhouse Rock. That's Black music. So what am I supposed to get so excited about, man? I think all that stuff about saying he's the king, that's a piece of bunk." Whatever Ray, whatever.....
