Ray Charles and Ray Charles

A lot has happened since I posted on my blog last, Obama has become our first Democratic president in 8 and also our first African-American president in our nations history, Elmo has two sets of parents and we're not really sure who is his real father and mother, but nothing since Wall-E has made me post.
Until now.
Well, Y'see, If you think that Ray Charles wrote the most annoying and un-syncopated song ever to inhabit in the earth "Fifty Nifty United States" well, he did. But this Ray Charles isn't the Ray Charles you think of and as you can tell from the song, not the good Ray Charles. No, the "Georgia on my mind", "What I say", or the "I can't stop lovin' you" Ray Charles, but the "Fifty nifty united states" and "Three's Company" (That's right, he and his band sang the Three's Company's theme song) Ray Charles. The way -and it's quite easy to do so- to tell the difference is the good Ray Charles is Ray Charles Robinson. The weird Ray Charles alternative is Ray Charles Offenburg. So please make sure that if you're talking to someone and they say that Ray Charles wrote "Fifty nifty united states", tell 'em that it is Ray Charles, but not the good one. So please do not get them confused.

Ray Charles Robinson

Charles Ray Offenberg

Which one is the more likable figure?

P.S.: Offy's real name isn't even Ray. It doesn't even work!
