Hello,

A great song by Ray Charles is Hallelujah I Love Her So. This song is a great example of his gospel roots. He took an old gospel song and put in his own lyrics about a woman he loves.

For the conversation you could talk about where Ray Charles came from and what the racial climate was then. He was an African American kid from the south, so there are all sorts of things you could go into in terms of US history and race relations. Good luck and have fun with this.
