American Icon Resources

Ray Charles

This is just an example of one of his solos that I like










Interview with Ray Charles: This video tells a small amount about his origins and his thoughts on making music in your own way. There are lots of videos on youtube with his interview but this one is just and example of one of them.


The Movie: The movie (Ray) shows Rays life in a nutshell although with a little bit of hollywood in it still is a good source for getting ideas and getting a understanding of all the things he went through

A Biography about him and his rise through all of songs, his hardships, and his fortunes.



Martin Luther King Jr.





His Famous "I have a Dream" speech. This speech is what he is most well known for and this is a video of it.

Kinda like his own personal website. It has many of his speeches, a biography, his quotes and facts about him and why we celebrate Martin Luther King day.
