But Ray Charles has his share of amazing songs, and played a meaner piano than Stevie, I think. They're so close in my mind, but if I had to pick, I'd pick Ray.

I remember him as the twelve year old kid singing Fingertips, and I'm not certain about Ray, but I believe Stevie writes most of his songs. Among my favorites, Sir Duke, I Just Called To Say I Love You, Superstition, For Once In My Life. TIS "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

IMO the only thing that makes him special is the fact that he's blind. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. Get Hannitized I support racial profiling.

Oddly enough, both of these musical giants are/were men of great vision. .

I'm not saying that Stevie Wonder doesn't sing as well, but I feel Ray's emotion when he sings. The same goes for Stevie, but to a lesser extent. Also, Ray's rendition of "America, the Beautiful" makes me proud to be an American everytime I hear it, more so than any other version of it. Ray Charles, definitely.

I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis
