OK, so someone tell me ... just exactly what it is that a dead guy can do with 8 Grammys, again?
Posted by Tiger at February 14, 2005 11:11 AMNot meaning to disrespect Ray Charles' talent (he was a great musician), but I do find it incredibly sad and pathetic that the ONLY reason he won 8 Grammys is because he died . . . if he were still alive, he wouldn't have been considered "worthy" enough to garner so many awards in one year.

It was a tribute to a great musician and cut down on the glorification of the drug thugs.
