60's legends, Ray Charles - On Armed Forces Radio (1993)

The Library of Congress keeps 3 one-sided "sound discs : analog, 33 1/3 rpm, stereo. ; 12 in." (with a total of 80 minutes; cutting a metal or vinyl disc was still a not unusual way to archive radio broadcasts at the time), entitled 60's legends, Ray Charles. The programme was hosted by David Charity, produced in Los Angeles by Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, in 1993, and probably broadcast that same year. The contents are described as: "Music of Ray Charles; includes interviews and biographical information". It's unclear if Ray actively contributed to this programme, or that it only used archival content.

Who knows more?
