Ray Charles daughter gives Free Concert at the Salvation Army

Dec. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- WHAT:   Sheila Raye Charles the daughter of legendary singer Ray Charles will give a free concert and share her story at The Salvation Army on Friday, December 14, 2012 at 6:30 pm.  

WHY:          The Daughter of the Famous Singer has endured much. Her story starts with sexual abuse as a child and ends in federal prison. Crack-Cocaine, her drug of choice took complete control of her life. “Prison saved my life,” Sheila says. When she was in solitary confinement she found peace and a joy that filled her soul.

During her third stint in prison, Sheila called out to the Lord and since that day has committed to singing and telling audiences about how to find a way out. Sheila Raye creates her own distinct style and today is called upon to provide moving renditions of her father’s best known songs from America the Beautiful, Hit the Road Jack and Georgia.

Charles has now dedicated her life and her gift to inspire and lighten the path of those on a dark journey. “Speaking at the Celebrate Recovery Program at The Salvation Army is an invaluable blessing,” says Major Roni Robbins of The Salvation Army Atlanta Temple Corps.
