Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"


I agree with Ray Charles.

You can’t be serious! “yet to enjoy”?

Anyway, as far as I’m concerned the opinion of anyone who can sing like this, so connected to the music, deserves to have his opinions on music at least considered.

@frogman The statement, “(I’ve) yet to enjoy anything by Ray Charles” constitutes that of a non-human or a woefully ignorant person.
If even the most popular of Ray Charles music does nothing to you, I don’t know what to say.
This person is either not a human or dreadfully ignorant.

I like Ray for sure, even though I don't have any of his records, but I don't think there is any musical artist, no matter how brilliant or well-regarded, who will be enjoyed by 100% of all music fans. If somebody doesn't like something, you can't deny that subjective experience. You may feel sorry for them that Ray's music doesn't do anything for them, but I don't think anybody needs to be insulted for having a different reaction to the same stimulus.  

@larsman I think that is fair and you make valid points.  
I shouldn’t have said someone who doesn’t like Ray Charles is “either a non-human or woefully ignorant.”  
My apologies.
