We watched the Ray Charles movie and we have to write if he was role model or if he wasn't.
Ray Charles is not a role model. He did drugs, he cheated on his wife. He didn't want his kid he had with one of his girlfriends. That is bad because hes the one that had the kid with her. If he didn't want that to happen he should have never started stuff with her.
But in some ways he was a good role model because he sent money to his girlfriend for her kid and that's what he should do. He didn't sing in Georgia because they were segregated and that's a good move because places shouldn't be segregated. When his girlfriend died he went out there to her funeral.
In conclusion his impact on me didn't really affect me but it kind of did because he did a lot of good things. He wouldn't play at a segregated place. I think of him as a person that he was kind of stupid for the things he did to his wife but then he did a lot of great things too. So in some ways he was and some ways he wasn't.

Frank Sinatra called him "The only genius in our business" and that obviously wasn't a kind of exaggeration.
