    Ray was such a literate speaker that if he never became a musician, he would have without question had a great career in radio or television.

    Totally aside from Ray's amazing musical career, he absolutely could have had a successful career as a broadcaster. It's not just his amazing voice but his fascinating persona. He has the magical ability to be fascinating when speaking on just about any subject. And he retained his skills until he died, that's also rare. What a huge loss.
