Ray Charles

Hi ...maybe a difficult request, but does anyone know what year Ray Charles came to London in the beginning of the 60's. Think it was the Apollo at Victoria. Have looked at all the gen on Ray on Web, but can't find it mentioned...I'm sure he came though.

I saw him at the Royal Festival Hall if thats any help. Not sure of the year

Thanks Johnny...It may have been on the same UK tour, but I'm sure it was at Victoria...could it have been 63 ?

according to the history of the Rainbow theatre, London, Ray Charles appeared there on the 12th of May, 1963.

Hey...never heard of Rainbow Theatre, but might well have been that year then, as he wouldn't have come over for just the one gig... ta.
