Charles possessed one of the most recognizable voices in American music. In the words of musicologist Henry Pleasants: This list includes members of the Provisional IRA as well as subsequent splinter groups including the Continuity IRA and the Real IRA. In 1975, Ray Charles was inducted into the American Academy of Achievement and presented with the Golden Plate Award and the Academy of Achievement gold medal. [59] [60] Charles cited Nat King Cole as a primary influence, but his music was also influenced by Louis Jordan and Charles Brown. [10] He had a lifelong friendship and occasional partnership with Quincy Jones. Frank Sinatra called Ray Charles "the only true genius in show business," although Charles downplayed this notion. [11] Billy Joel said, "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley". [12] Mulhall, Daniel (2010).

Charles made it through 17 years of increasingly unpopular and authoritarian rule before the official outbreak of Civil War. Needing money to fight uprisings in Ireland and Scotland, he reconvened Parliament, only to be presented with the “Grand Remonstrance”, a lengthy list of grievances from his ministers.

On 24 December 1889, Captain O'Shea filed for divorce, citing Parnell as co-respondent, although the case did not come for trial until 15 November 1890. The two-day trial revealed that Parnell had been the long-term lover of Mrs. O'Shea and had fathered three of her children. Meanwhile, Parnell assured the Irish Party that there was no need to fear the verdict because he would be exonerated. During January 1890, resolutions of confidence in his leadership were passed throughout the country. [4] Parnell did not contest the divorce action at a hearing on 15 November, to ensure that it would be granted and he could marry Mrs O'Shea, so Captain O'Shea's allegations went unchallenged. A divorce decree was granted on 17 November 1890, but Parnell's two surviving children were placed in O'Shea's custody.

In addition to being a musician, Charles was also a record producer, producing Guitar Slim's number 1 hit, " The Things That I Used to Do". A Commission of Enquiry, which Parnell had requested, revealed in February 1889, after 128 sessions that the letters were a fabrication created by Richard Pigott, a disreputable anti-Parnellite rogue journalist. Pigott broke down under cross-examination after the letter was shown to be a forgery by him with his characteristic spelling mistakes. He fled to Madrid where he committed suicide. Parnell was vindicated, to the disappointment of the Tories and the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury. [23] Finnegan, Orla and Ian Cawood.

Pleasants continues, "Ray Charles is usually described as a baritone, and his speaking voice would suggest as much, as would the difficulty he experiences in reaching and sustaining the baritone's high E and F in a popular ballad. But the voice undergoes some sort of transfiguration under stress, and in music of gospel or blues character he can and does sing for measures on end in the high tenor range of A, B flat, B, C and even C sharp and D, sometimes in full voice, sometimes in an ecstatic head voice, sometimes in falsetto. In falsetto he continues up to E and F above high C. On one extraordinary record, 'I'm Going Down to the River'...he hits an incredible B flat...giving him an overall range, including the falsetto extension, of at least three octaves." Since 1991, the centenary of his death, Magdalene College, Cambridge, where Parnell studied, has offered the Parnell Fellowship in Irish Studies, which is awarded to a scholar for up to a year for study without teaching or administrative responsibilities. Parnell Fellows have often been historians, but have spanned a wide range of disciplines, including Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney. Sinatra, and Bing Crosby before him, had been masters of words. Ray Charles is a master of sounds. His records disclose an extraordinary assortment of slurs, glides, turns, shrieks, wails, breaks, shouts, screams and hollers, all wonderfully controlled, disciplined by inspired musicianship, and harnessed to ingenious subtleties of harmony, dynamics and rhythm... It is either the singing of a man whose vocabulary is inadequate to express what is in his heart and mind or of one whose feelings are too intense for satisfactory verbal or conventionally melodic articulation. He can't tell it to you. He can't even sing it to you. He has to cry out to you, or shout to you, in tones eloquent of despair—or exaltation. The voice alone, with little assistance from the text or the notated music, conveys the message. [52] Oldstone-Moore, Christopher (1995).

His time as King was still a considerable improvement from his early life as a Prince, which saw him fighting in the Civil War at 12 years old and exiled to the continent shortly afterwards. Most contemporaries pronounced his name / p ɑːr ˈ n ɛ l/, with the stress on the second syllable. Parnell himself disapproved of that pronunciation but pronounced his name / ˈ p ɑːr n əl/, with the stress on the first syllable.
