Auction History Result 4w1561 RAY CHARLES signed 8x10 REPRO still 1980s by his assistant/manager Vernon Troupe! Date Sold 6/25/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Ray Charles was a legendary soul, rhythm & blues and jazz singer from the 1940s to the 2000s. He lost his sight at the age of five due to glaucoma, but went on to learn piano and braille and playing live shows in Florida! Some of his works include: Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Ingredients in a Recipe for Soul, and Genius + Soul = Jazz. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has almost certainly been personally autographed (signed) by Vernon Troupe, the long-time assistant/personal manager of Ray Charles! A knowledgeable collector tells us that Ray Charles VERY rarely signed anything himself (one anecdote mentions that he said he never signs anything that he can't see) and almost all "Ray Charles" autographs are by Vernon Troupe. The very few examples of his actual autograph are apparently in printed block letters. Note that this signed item is from the estate of Gino Empry, who was a legendary Toronto publicist and agent from the early 1960s through the early 2000s (he passed away in 2006). He had publicity photos of celebrities he worked with that were personalized to him and signed attached to his walls, and many of those were consigned to us, and while we have no certificate of authenticity, we are 100% certain they are authentic (although many have some damage that was caused by their being attached to a wall or being roughly removed). As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good. All of the autograph and most of the inscription has lightened (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
