		Shaw has been described in the New York Times as having "complete emotional control of the classic jazz-idiom standards," and in Cadence as possessing "a buttery sound and a real Jazz singer's ability to improvise along instrumental lines."

		Charles displayed his genius by combining elements of gospel and blues into a fervid, exuberant style that would come to be known as soul music.

		A driven businessman, according to Lydon, Charles is also cruel and insensitive to those close to him, never faithful to any woman ("a venerable joke declares, to be a Raelet, a lady must let Ray") and a tyrant to musicians in his band, paying them little and fining them $50 for being late to rehearsal.
		Ray Charles is a legend, a genious of music and recording and a fine artist with extraordinary talent.
