I was reluctant to include Hip-Hop artists because I don't consider sampling jazz, rock music into a beat really what makes a "Musician".

But much respect to the Hip-Hop Genre. I'll make a seperate thread about that.

What's your favourite Ray Charles song?

I'd have to really think to answer that but
There's a bunch I listen to alot and know word for word,
Georgia on My Mind
I Can`t Stop Loving You
Let`s Go Get Stoned
Unchain my heart
It's crying time again(not sure if thats what it's called)

and I love his version of America the Beautiful and Yesterday
