In 1980 I was working on the line in the main kitchen of the Arizona Biltmore. Ray Charles was performing in the Conference Center . Either before or after his performance he was being escorted the backway thru the kitchen by an aide. I didnt know he was performing and was just startled when I saw him. I knew who he was right away. I turned to the other cooks on the line and blurted out " Hey its Ray charles!" he kept walking, looked around, laughed and said " Yes it is! ".
