I hadn't heard.  I had the opportunity to attend a concert featuring Mr. Charles backed up by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.  What an amazing night.

Well ...there is a choir of angels that's getting a new pianoplayer.
I really liked his music.

...and an outstanding voice for the choir of angels too. I danced with my wife first to Georgia on my mind. Lots of memories. A god gifted musician passed away.
