You are'nt seriously trying to compare Ray Charles (who I don't think anyone would question his integrity & was just being "Ray Charles") with "Pop Artists" of no Iconic stature
were you ?
Of course there've been plenty of rotten versions of national anthems sung by pop stars and "celebrities" all over the world. So what? What's your idea, have versions vetted by.............you?
Nobody knows which singer/group will come up with a personalized version of an iconic tune or anthem that many people find stirring, just as Ray did with America The Beautiful. Being someone with "iconic stature" - whatever the hell that means - has zilch to do with singing ability or tasteful creativity. I've heard plenty of very good stylized versions of Star Bangled Banner - sung from the heart - that take some liberties but convey the patriotic emotions inherent in the anthem and then some.
