“That’s A Lie” #64 3/30/1968

By now, Ray Charles wasn’t having a great deal of chart success (this record kinda died) and his long-time issues with heroin were catching up with him. Ray was arrested three times for possession of the stuff, although each time the charges were dropped. He also had 12 kids with 10 different baby mamas. Yet he overcame all that, got clean, and remains one of the icons of American music.
