<p>Another Ray Charles has appeared at RR Auctions. I can't work out how to copy the image but here's the link:</p>

<p>For my money it looks too good to be true although whoever wrote it obviously used "presumed genuine" examples.</p>

<p>A new Ray Charles has just appeared, a 10" x 8" photograph. This will be auctioned by Chiswick Auctions in the UK on 7 July 2021 (est. £800 - £1,200). I think I remember the provenance details ("<em>***</em><span>Provenance: the photograph was signed for Radio 2 Executive Derek Mills") so maybe it was offered before. It could well be real but the signature is so faint that it's hard to tell:…</span></p>

<p>I would also lean towards it being a fake. Apart from it all looking incredibly fresh as everyone points out I have worked in the past with blind /partially sighted students and I would have said that someone sighted wrote that,- just my opin for what its worth</p>

<p>I recall the background you were kind enough to give me on the piece. It made all the difference in the world on my making the acquisition. I thank you for that information.</p>

<p>If I had to put money on it, I'd lean towards the new RR example being a very good fake. Somehow it doesn't seem shaky enough and, as Tacoma says, the whole piece (LP and autograph) look incredibly fresh. The provenance is also sketchy as Tacoma also says. Tough one to call.</p>

<p>Tacoma,</p>
<p>Your signed program is FANTASTIC! Two brothers bought it at an estate sale in Beverly Hills. It was in a box with old programs, menus and the like. They bought it for $8 as I recall because they saw Peggy Lee's and maybe Quincy Jones's autographs.</p>
<p>They didn't realize it might be Ray Charles until they got home.</p>
