Chicago, Illinois August 1, 2012 -
International acoustic jazz artist, and recently ordained Evangelist, Sheila Raye Charles daughter of legendary Ray Charles, is the guest of honor at the National Conference of State Legislatures in Chicago, Illinois beginning August 6, 2012.

Charles says she is "humbled" to convey an
a cappella rendition of her father's internationally acclaimed refrain; "Georgia On My Mind" at the opening ceremony.


In addition, Charles will bestow entertainment for the national conference's luncheon accompanied by her live orchestra.

Sheila Raye Charles has spent the past eight years traveling the world, delivering her message of hope,  recovery and redemption to church groups, recovery and addiction organizations, as well as, state and federal prison inmates following her own twenty year drug addiction and recovery which was accompanied by a term in a federal penitentiary. After her recovery, acclaimed actor, Louis Gossett Jr. chronicled a documentary that depicted her revelation and that of her siblings coming together, after the death of their famous father. 


The Charles family (siblings), are actively engaged in an embattled lawsuit, initiated by the Ray Charles Foundation for what seems, a convoluted attempt to keep the children from gaining any rights to their father's estate which includes music,  paraphernalia and other rights. The children of the internationally famed artist say that they are "exercising their rights under the law". 

Today, Sheila Raye continues to honor her father's memory by emulating his style in a musical medley tribute during special occasions, world-wide.  Charles and her 11 siblings have planned a never-before all embracing "birthday tribute" slated for September 10, 2012 at the Buckhead Theater in Atlanta, GA entitled, "Remembering Our father" Ray.


Sheila Raye Charles and Governor of the state of Georgia
Earlier this year, Sheila Raye and her family were honored as new residents to the state by the Georgia General Assembly on the 33rd anniversary of her father being honored and welcomed whereas; his song "Georgia" was adopted as the official state song.

As well, Sheila Raye was welcomed by the Governor of the state; in his private chambers.

Another historic milestone this year  for Sheila Raye came when, she had the pleasure of presenting a rendition of her father's song at a star studded, 80th birthday celebration event for Ambassador Andrew Young; where Oprah Winfrey was in attendance among other elected dignitaries.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
