Alan Jackson supposedly set a World Record for "The Longest Line Dance" in this video. Nice camera work.

Ray Charles: September 23, 1930 to June 10, 2004 (aged 73 years)
Ray Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music. In the words of musicologist Henry Pleasants:
Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby before him, had been masters of words. Ray Charles is a master of sounds. His records disclose an extraordinary assortment of slurs, glides, turns, shrieks, wails, breaks, shouts, screams and hollers, all wonderfully controlled, disciplined by inspired musicianship, and harnessed to ingenious subtleties of harmony, dynamics and rhythm... It is either the singing of a man whose vocabulary is inadequate to express what is in his heart and mind or of one whose feelings are too intense for satisfactory verbal or conventionally melodic articulation. He can’t tell it to you. He can’t even sing it to you. He has to cry out to you, or shout to you, in tones eloquent of despair — or exaltation. The voice alone, with little assistance from the text or the notated music, conveys the message.
Ray Charles was married twice and had 12 children with nine different women. His first marriage to Eileen Williams was brief: July 31, 1951 to 1952. He had three children from his second marriage, to Della Beatrice Howard Robinson from April 5, 1955 to 1977. His long term girlfriend and partner at the time of his death was Norma Pinella.
A list of his children:
- Born 1950: Evelyn Robinson (to Louise Mitchell)
- Born 1955: Ray Charles Robinson, Jr. (to Della Robinson)
- Born 1958: David Robinson (to Della Robinson)
- Born 1959: Charles Wayne Robinson (to Margie Hendricks)
- Born 1960: Reverend Robert Robinson (to Della Robinson)
- Born 1961: Raenee Robinson (to Mae Mosely Lyles)
- Born 1963: Sheila Raye Charles Robinson (to Sandra Jean Betts)
- Born 1966: Alicia Robinson (unknown)
- Born 1968: Alexandra Robinson (to Chantal Bertrand)
- Born 1977: Vincent Robinson (to Arlette Kotchounian)
- Born 1978: Robyn Robinson (to Gloria Moffett)
- Born 1987: Ryan Corey Robinson (to Mary Anne den Bok)
Charles gave 10 of his 12 children checks for one million USD in December 2002 at a family luncheon, while the other two could not make it.
Clay Walker - "Dreaming With My Eyes Open"
I really like this song!!! It's catchy.
Tracy Lawrence "Sticks And Stones"
On May 31, 1991, before the album Sticks and Stones release, Lawrence walked his former girlfriend to the door of her hotel room and was confronted by three armed men. The men robbed them and attempted to force Lawrence and his friend into her motel room. Lawrence resisted and was shot four times, allowing his friend to escape. Two of the wounds were major and necessitated surgery. One of the bullets remains embedded in Lawrence's pelvis.

George Jones - "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
George Jones considered by many experts to be among the finest, if not the finest, country music singer of all time. His 1980 No. 1 hit, "He Stopped Loving Her Today," ranks as the all-time greatest country song, according to several fan polls.

The Notorious Cherry Bombs - "It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long"
One of the commenters on this video, noticed the bald guy getting a haircut. I liked at the end, when Vince Gill left the toilet seat up, on purpose. I didn't realize till the end, that the first ugly wife was Rodney Crowell.
