But because Adams' Secretary of State, John Marshall, failed to deliver all of the appointees' commissions, and because Jefferson subsequently directed his new Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver the remaining notices â a number of employees were unable to assume their new positions.
Born Ray Charles Robinson in rural Georgia in 1930, Charles died at 73 in Beverly Hills on June 10, 2004, after a long battle with cancer.
In April, 1962, Ray had a smaller hit with another Rudy Clark song, Itty Bitty Pieces [Caprice 114], a #41 pop hit that sounded a lot like Lloyd Price. His third and last single for Caprice, A Miracle [Caprice 117], did not chart. Ray, unfortunately, died of a drug overdose in 1964 at the age of only 23.
