Brother Ray

I missed it until now, but on September 23, Ray Charles joined other jazz and blues greats like John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Otis Redding and Muddy Waters, among others, as the face on a postage stamp. It's a “Forever” stamp, so if you buy it now, you'll still be able to use it after the prices go up. Here's what it looks like.

It's hard to think of any American musician who deserved this honor more.
