Ray Charles Music

What is Ray Charles' date of birth and date of death, or is Ray Charles still alive?

I am writing a 500-word essay on Ray Charles for school, and I was wondering, what exactly is his date of birth and date of death. I think Ray Charles is dead, but I'm not sure. Is he? When I say date of birth/death, I mean down to the day, month, and year.
