Ray Charles. A pioneer for music genres such as soul, jazz, blues, rhtyhm & blues. The man behind iconic songs such as Hallelujah, I love her so, Unchain My Heart and Georgia On My Mind. But also one of the first black and blind musicians to reach a large audience. He did not let his disability hinder him, because Charles became blind at a young age. He was one of the first musicians to be accompanied (often) by a big band. And he is still one of the international artists who has performed the most at ‘our’ North Sea Jazz Festival.
