Ray Charles On Della (1969)

Della was the first prime time talk show in the USA to have an African-American host, singer/actress Della Reese. The program ran for 297 episodes in the 1969 - 1970 season.
Ray Charles, together with The Raelettes and Billy Preston was a guest on the show that was aired on 17(?) October 1969. I found the ad below in the  Herald Statesman (Yonkers, NY).

Ray Charles (Not) On Swinging With Sammy Davis Jr. (1960)?

The 1960 newspaper The California Eagle had a (beautifully designed, awfully written) show biz news & gossip page, that specifically reported on the adventures of black artists.
On 21 January 1960 they published a squib announcing that Sammy's "[...] 90 minute TV show in June will include Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Count Basie and will be titled Swinging With Sammy Davis Jr."
On 8 December 1960 they had an item stating that "Sammy Davis Junior's smash One Man Show is a buildup to his own in preparation television spectacular to be called The Swinging World of Sammy Davis, Junior which will feature Count Basie and Ray Charles... and even with those boys, ol' Sammy will really have to string out to top the show Harry Belafonte put on from N'Yawk-town."

It's unclear what exactly happened to this initiative. This article in the Trenton Sunday Times Advertiser of November 3, 1963, is just a bit too ambiguous: Sammy Davis "packaged a video special starring himself and featuring Ray Charles, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin - but [...] no network would touch it. [Davis] made clear he felt it was because he, a Negro, was the star" - leaving it open for interpretation if the show was actually taped.

Ray Charles On The Tonight Show With Hal March (1962)

Paar and Kennedy (1959).

When after 3 years, in March 1962, Jack Paar left the The Jack Paar Tonight Show, the format was programmed as The Tonight Show for the first time. TV historians call this the "second interregnum", as for the next 6 or 7 months the program was presented by numerous successive hosts, including Art Linkletter, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, Soupy Sales, Jerry Lewis, Arlene Francis, Hugh Downs, Groucho Marx and Hall March - before in October 1962 Johnny Carson arrived, and the program was called The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

However, on 30 August 1962, the TV page of the Herald Statesman, a newspaper from Yonkers (NY) announced the program under the title Tonight, to be broadcast on Channel 4 (WNBC TV), from 11:15 to 1:00: "Guest host Hal March has quite a line-up of stars... Carroll Baker, Cesare Siepi, Jan Murray, Jack Dempsey, Ray Charles and Barry Gray".

Ray Charles (Not) On Ernie Ford Special (1967)?

Country and gospel singer Tennessee Ernie Ford presented several TV shows during his career. The TV page of the newspaper the Watertown Daily Times from 1 December 1967 announces the broadcast of the Ernie Ford Special on Sunday, 3 December 1967, on Channel 5 (Syracuse), with "guests Lainie Kazan and Ray Charles, jazz musician".
Other sources, however, describe a completely different line-up for this show, featuring Andy Griffith, Danny Thomas, The Dillards, Goldie Hawn, and - above all - Diana Ross and the Supremes.

Ray Charles Honored By Florida Senate (1986)

Source: Florida Senate Journals.

On 15 April 1986 Ray Charles was honored by the Florida Senate, at the state's legislature in Tallahassee, on motion by Senator Pat Thomas, and "by unanimous consent", "the President announced that today is 'Ray Charles Day' in the Senate".
The full "Consideration of Resolution", "commending Ray Charles for his contribution to the field of entertainment" was quoted in the Journal of the Senate, Number 4, Tuesday, April 15 1986.
The video below, that turned up on YouTube, can probably be identified with an entry in the Photographic Collection & Filmguide at FloridaMemory.com (nr. 99; 13:50; color; sound; V-155 P93-013; S. 1239; "Mr. Charles chats for a while and then plays a tune. Videotaped by Bradley White", wrongly dated as being of the "1970s").
Ray, as usual, does his slightly stammering  "thank-you-I'm-overwhelmed" speech, and then surprises his audience with a rendition of 3/4 Time. In the interview at the end of the video, he gives a funny reason for playing this song.

Ray Charles On The Chevy Show? (1956)

In 1956, Dinah Shore began a one hour program on NBC, The Dinah Shore Chevy Show. The program was extremely popular, and its theme song See The USA In Your Chevrolet..., always ending with Shore's  farewell kiss to the television audience, remain television icons. The line-up usually contained two or three guests drawn from the worlds of music, sports, and movies. The show was produced in Burbank, California by Bob Banner who also directed all episodes.
The ad above, inserted in the newspaper The Kingston Daily Freeman of 13 July 1956, at first sight seems to be the earliest documented proof of Ray Charles' TV career. But none of the 5 or 6 contemporary newspaper sources that wrote something about the show, mentioned Ray specifically. Also suspect, is that Ray nor his biographers ever mentioned this program.
It may seem an uncomfortably early date for a 'black orchestra' to be on a 'white show' (Ray was still working the Chitlin' Circuit),  but, Dinah also had Count Basie and Nat Cole on her show in these years...
If this was Ray Charles' "Orchestra", it would have been the 'small big band' (probably in a sextet formation). But objectively speaking, this of course also may have been 'the other Ray Charles' (Offenberg), although that musician has built his fame as a musical director, and as the leader of the eponymous Singers, but not exactly as an orchestra leader...

However, seven years later, when both Dinah and Ray were much more famous, Ray appeared on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show, this time after securing a cheque (worth $ 15,000) that made headlines.

To give you an idea on Gisele MacKenzie's repertoire, see her horror take on Heartbreak Hotel (also from 1956):

Black Requiem - The Quincy Jones / Ray Charles Masterpiece That Never Was Released (1971, 1988, 1992) (Cont'd)

On 20 July 1976 Quincy Jones published a column in The Baltimore Afro-American, where he shed some more light on the genesis of Black Requiem (read earlier article here), revealing that the work went back to a vow he and Ray made when they were together in Seattle (i.e. 1947/1949):

"Back when Ray and I were just kids, we talked about performing a classical, gospel, jazz and operatic composition together. We even went so far as to vow that one day we would do it. Then in 1971, it happened. As part of the celebration of Ray's 20th year in show business, we performed my composition "Black Requiem" with the 80-piece Houston Symphony orchestra. The piece depicted the musical struggle of blacks from the time they entered the slave ships into the period of compensation.
From there it went into the aera of Dr. Martin Luher King Jr., and passive resistance to the period of militancy and lastly, into the era of hope for the future."

Personal note to Ms. Valerie Ervin and Mr. Quincy Jones:
a. Find back that tape. b. Add that oomph. c. Release that record.
Please!

Ray Charles Fundraising For Unicef In Italy (1988)

In November 1988 Ray Charles was in Rome for two days, on the 17th and the 18th. On the first day he did a regular show in the Palazzetto dello Sport. His concert on the 18th, at the same sport palace, may have been part of something bigger; it was described as a performance "for Unicef to raise funds to vaccinate African children", that was broadcast live.
