On 1 November 1984 Ray Charles gave a concert in the Bussola Domani series at the Palcoscenica in Versilia. The show was (live, semi-live or later?) broadcast by Rai Uno. La Stampa of 2 November suggested that Ray received 100,000,000 lire for the performance ("3,000 spectators in a religious silence under the big tent [...], moved the audience with a whisper and mumbles his infinite tenderness, and loads of fun and laughter, enhances applause with the originality of his interpretations and his squirming at the piano").
Personnel:
Musicians: Robbie Kwock, Mark Curry, Jim Seeley, Jeff Kaye - trumpets; John Boice, Dan Marcus, Dan Weinstein, Dana Hughes - trombones; Brian Mitchell, Clifford Solomon (band leader), Ricky Woodard, Rudy Johnson, Louis Van Taylor - saxophones; Bobby Floyd - organ; Dennis Nelson - guitar; Roger Hines - bass; Ricky Kirkland - drums. Raelettes: Trudy Cohran, Anne Johnson, Janice Mitchell, Elaine Woodard, Estella Yarbrough.
I have seen a few video fragments of the concert. Who knows more?
