Exceedingly rare vintage glossy 8 x 10 close-up photo of Charles in his trademark sunglasses, signed in blue ballpoint, "Ray Charles." In very good to fine condition, with poor ink adhesion, light rippling, loss to the upper right border, multiple small tack holes to the borders (and two to the upper left corner of the image). Accompanied by a letter of provenance stating that it originated from the collection of Derek Mills, an executive of BBC Radio 2. Ray Charles is extremely rare in authentic material, and virtually unheard of in signed photographs.
