Personnel & Co-Performers
This is a list of all* the musicians and singers that have ever been credited for recording and/or performing with Ray Charles. Between the first brackets are the years of these activities (not necessarily always unbroken periods), between the second set of brackets are the years of birth and death. The “More”-tag refers to web pages where you can find additional information about them (with only a few exceptions, I’ve only checked artists’ websites, Wikipedia, Facebook and MySpace, and databases like Allmusic and Discogs – in that order).
Be careful in quoting these factoids. Most information is based on data found on the web, and all dates (therefore) are subject to all kinds of errors and omissions, and require double checking.
Last update June 2014. Corrections and additions are, as always, very welcome. Please email bob[at]result[dot]com.
