    About Ray Charles

    Ray Charles Robinson was an American singer, pianist, and songwriter who became one of the most influential figures in popular music. Born in Albany, Georgia, on September 23, 1930, he lost his sight in early childhood but pursued music while attending the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. During the 1950s, Charles pioneered soul music by blending rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles, scoring groundbreaking hits such as I've Got a Woman and What'd I Say. His 1962 album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music successfully integrated country music into mainstream pop, yielding classic recordings like Georgia on My Mind. Over his six-decade career, he earned 17 Grammy Awards, received the Kennedy Center Honors, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Charles continued to record and perform internationally until his death on June 10, 2004, in Los Angeles.

    🌙Vedic birth chart & birth timeBirth time: not on record

    A genuine Vedic Kundli for Ray Charles would need their exact birth time and place, and those are not in the public record. The Ascendant (Lagna), house placements, Nakshatra and Dasha timeline all change with just a few minutes' difference — so we don't invent a time or quietly default to noon. This profile therefore shows only what the birth date can honestly support: Sun sign, Moon sign (Rashi), Chinese zodiac and Life Path.
