Ray Charles Performing At New Jersey Vigil (2001)

On September 23, 2001 the State of New Jersey organized Remembrance and Reflection: An Observance to Remember New Jersey's Victims and Honor Our Heroes, an observance and candlelight vigil hosted by Chris and Dana Reeve at the South Overlook of Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

It featured appearances by Ray Charles and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.

New Jersey Network Public Television aired and NJN Public Radio (through www.njn.net) video-streamed the program live. Source here.

About

The Ray Charles Video Museum is a research project, documenting live performances by The Genius.

This blog is above all a Mediagraphy. It's also a discography (or, more correctly, a trackography), aggregating all tunes that Ray sang and/or played - including the "canon" of 700 tracks listed on the official Ray Charles website, but also identifying the songs that have never been officially released, and e.g. the recordings of other artists, where Ray backed them on piano. Thirdly, this blog has evolved into a multimedia Chronology (click the years in the panel al the top of this page) of Ray's productive live.

I also try to do some justice to the more than 1,000 great musicians and singers who contributed to Ray's career (1, 2).

The Quotes page lists the wisest, craziest and funniest things that the Genius ever said. If you want to read more about Brother Ray, go here.

The availability of the streaming video and audio content on this blog is constantly under pressure. Some rights owners still think that sharing these videos damages their sales. I'm keeping disfunctional clips as placeholders - to show that the footage exists, and to replace them when new uploads appear on the Web.

The articles in this blog are continuously updated and improved. Your help is more than welcome.
