As I´m brazilian and speak portuguese, when I was about 8 or 9, I thought Ray Charles was the king of Britain, ´cos you pronnounce "Ray" as "rei", and "Rei" means King in portuguese. I always heard of the queen of England and the 'REI' Charles (not togheter, of course). You can imagine the mess in my head thinking "why is the king of Britain blind? Why is he playing the piano with such a wide smile ???". In fact, I began to think the Queen and the 'King Ray Charles' were divorced, because I never saw them in the same place. Weird...
