This, combined with the deep-stage format used by the band, gave the impression to anyone, sitting along the sides of the hall that the band was performing in a cave. Enough bands have proven by now that banks of speakers can be suspended from the ceiling or pushed back a little, so more people can see properly.

The Michael Stanley Band veterans of a few albums but as yet largely unknown opened for Foreigner with a 40-minute set. The group's nondescript opening tunes, combined with their leader's overly cocky stage manner, eventually gave way to interesting instrumental work especially in a long, jazz-influenced jam near the end. But this was the night for Foreigner and Foreigner's powerful and talented lead singer. I was writing the same then as I do now, the only way I know how: I see and hear the chords in my mind. I don't use Braille music.

I just call out the notes instrument by instrument for everyone in the band. I keep a sound picture in my head. Right about 1951, I put together my first band. It was the the tightest little band around only seven pieces. I got to do everything I wanted.

I wrote songs and arrangements, played alto and piano and sang. "I Got A Woman" was my first real smash, in 1952. This spiritual and rhythm-and-blue combination of mine was starting to hit. After "I Got A Woman," my three big records were "A Fool For You," "Drown In My Own Tears" and "Hallelujah, I Love Her So." These were the songs that caught on, that kept me working. In the early days, many of the dives where we had gigs were just too rough to tame.

All you could do was play and pray. Guess I played more than I prayed until I up and married again. (An early marriage in Florida had ended in divorce). Her name was Delia but I called her 'cause her middle name was Beatrice. She was a singer, a quiet lady who didn't smoke or drink.

Very shy. I liked gabby women drive me nuts. It wasn't long before she found out about my drug habit. She never forced the issue and she was never hard on my case. But I know It hurt her.

She didn't know how to deal with it. She didn't bug me, but it had to rotisserie motor with your new Jenn-Air E33 Convection Oven and Grill Range (The only range that breathes) Enjoy outdoor flavor smoking up your kitchin, thanks to the Built-in surface ventilation system You never have to worry about smoke, grease and odors your beautiful kitchen.

Still, she gave me three boys and stuck with me for almost 13 years.

But drugs and women always came second to my music. IN THE '50s I KEPT UP with all the music around me, especially jazz and gospel. I'd never abandon my favorite spiritual musicians Mahalia Jackson (Lord, she was a singing Jeter, Whitaker, Ira Tucker, Archie Brown- lee, Albertina Walker, Edna Gallmon Cooke. Jazz was going through some changes about now. I heard what West Coast cats like Gerry Mulligan or Brubeck or Kenton were doing, and it was good music.

But my heart was really with the East Coast dudes. They were harder cats and had a grittier sound. Also, I noticed some interesting developments in popular music. White singers were picking up on black songs more often. Gibbs and Pat Boone and Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley were doing tunes that originally had been rhythm-and-blues hits.

Something else happened in this time slot: rock 'n roll. I never considered myself part of it, even though I've heard the Beatles say they listened to me when they were coming up. It was really a different world and if any description of me comes close, it's the tag "rhythm-and-blues." THEN CAME THE '60s and, for nw, there was plenty of excitement. I'd formed my big band in '61 and was putting the bulk of my musical energy into touring and planning albums. air lets you cook 30 faster at 50 lower temperature This saves you time ana electricity aonars.

It has some splashy, modern rhythms in the orchestral score and there is an occasional turn of poetic eloquence, especially when the voices and the orchestra combine in produc ing some neatly-polished sonorities which bear the "earprint" of Claude Debussy. The musical elements are traditional in their employment. The piece is only briefly declamatory, nearly always lyrical a characteristic not to be dismissed In these times.

We were riding high on recordings of "Georgia On My Mind" and "Ruby," two big sellers that were to earn me a great deal of There was a lot of black music then, particularly in the late '60s that I could relate to. More blacks sang the way they really I liked many of the so-called soul singers David Ruffin with the Temptations, Otis Redding, Little Milton, Sam and Dave. Some people told me I'd invented the sounds they called soul but I can't take any credit. Soul is just the way black folk sing when they leave themselves alone. One singer towers above the rest: Aretha Franklin, She's bad, man.

Knight has a wonderful feeling. Barbra Streisand is tremendous. Younger chicks like Chaka Khan are nothing to sneeze at. But take Brother Ray's word Aretha's still boss. When my bread started to rise, I didn't go hog wild.

I just didn't need it. Aside from music, anything else I gave myself was only in reasonable allotments. Course, I believe in progress personal progress and financial progress. I never work for less this year than I got last year. When the public is ready to say to me, "Ray, you've been a good horse but we're going to have to put you out to pasture," I'll go quietly and gratefully, knowing I've had many lucrative years.

UPI RAY CHARLES From Page IC a year later.

Sot long after, I was set to record on a Thursday night over at RCA when my sor Ray who was 10 then, told me there-was a banquet for his Little Leaguateam the same night. He was getting'a trophy and wanted me there. So I juggled things and went to the banquet just for a short time, I promised the people at RCA. The clock ticked off 7 o'clock, then 7:30, then 8 o'clock and still Ray hadn't gotten. his trophy.

I kept fidgeting and finally told him, "Look, I'm sorry. I feel I got to split." "But all the other daddies are here," Ray said. "You got to be here when I get my award." Then he started crying but I still left. I heard his crying while I was record-ingj I heard it all night. I lived with it, dealt with it inside my brain.

I reasoned: This kid really loves me, really wants me to be part of him. And 1 thought of something else: What if I actually had to serve time? What if my boy went to school one day and a pal of his said, "Hey, Ray, your old! man's nothing but a So fnade up my mind. No more heroin for me. Next morning, I told my crew, "I intend to check myself into a hospital (for withdrawal). I ain't ever going to mess with heroin again." And I never-did.
