Notes.
1. Technically, Ray was perhaps not quite as strong a singer as some of his 
contemporaries (but measured against voices like Billy Thorpe, Max Merritt, Normie 
Rowe and Tony Worsley, that's no criticism) but he had a smooth, pleasing and 
instantly recognisable tenor voice with a particularly emotive upper register, 
which he used to great effect on hits like "Pride" and "Fool Fool Fool".
