On 15 August 1973 Ray guested in Dinah's Place, an NBC half-hour talk-show (that ran from 1970 to 1974). Ray Charles played a game of chess with Dinah "on a special board", and discussed how to live with blindness. They did a duet on Bye Bye Love and together went through a medley of Ray Charles hits.
In 1975 Ray possibly performed one last time at the Dinah! show.
The 1973 episode of the show must have been used to train Jamie Foxx in 'getting' Ray's talking voice. Watch the sequence at 4:00 in this clip:
