3. I like Stevie Wonder but Ray Charles was one of the most

talented American artists of the 20th century. Almost no comparison between the two.

Charles won 12 Grammy awards, including the best R&B recording three consecutive years ("Hit the Road Jack," "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Busted"). His version of Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia On My Mind" was named the Georgia state song in 1979, and he lent his gravelly voice to songs ranging from "America the Beautiful" to "Makin' Whoopee" to the 1985 all-star recording of "We Are the World."

4. I saw Stevie in my building once when I worked in NYC

and I've never been more star-struck. Both of these guys are incredible and I love them both equally.

6. I don't get the appeal of Stevie Wonder, I don't like any of his music,

now Ray Charles? He was a musical genius. :)

8. My condolences

on your deafness. What, pray tell, encourages you to refer to Ray Charles as a "musical genius?" The verb?

10. Well I guess its personal taste, I love "George on my mind" whereas

I do not like "I just called to say I love you"

Maybe it has to do with the feel of the music? :shrug:


I do feel what you said was very rude, I just happen to have different music taste then you, there was need to call me deaf. I would never find it necessary to be rude to someone for their music taste, unless of course they like Briney Spears, but that is another story.

12. I'm sorry, it was rude.

It's the same knee-jerk reaction I'd have to someone who didn't like Bach. :evilgrin:

16. Wow. How's the weather on Mars?

11. I have to vote for Stevie.

I love me some Ray, but Stevie's MoTown stuff gets me beboppin every time. :-)

15. This isn't fair.

If Stevie just had an Oscar-worthy biopic made about him, this would be more than reversed.

Ray Charles is great, don't get me wrong, but he ain't Stevie Wonder.

Stevie Wonder is a songwriter/musician on a par with Paul McCartney.

I'm not sure any comparison between the two is fair to Ray.

[Phillycat]

17. Stevie Wonder is better than Paul McCartney. As is Ray Charles.

And Stevie is better than Ray, I agree. Mathematically,

Stevie>Ray>Paul

or more correctly

Stevie>Aretha>Ray>Muddy Waters>James Brown>a million other people and THEN>Paul McCartney
