In (late) February 1970 Ray Charles was at Camino Royal in Mexico City, to be presented – by the famous comedian Cantinflas – with the annual Heraldo de Mexico Award for being “the most outstanding international artist”. Ray was his typical self in his acceptance speech, throwing in a lot of shy muchas gracias and an occasional “Continflas numero uno!” See the clip below, and read this.
