I didn't know the individual names of the Raelettes or any of the band really back then at the time, but these were taken off multiple people who turned up shortly before Ray arrived with another man.

Yes it's Omega. They were recently featured in the UK BBC news for a big Beatles sale they did selling some great collections which is why I picked them as its my Beatles autographs I was focusing on. the Ray Charles however was always one I treasured getting as I knew even back as a kid when I met him that he was something special and I was lucky to meet him and along with my friend who was there we were even luckier to both get autographs from him. The tour itself was a big deal at the time as it was his first time in UK and it was all over many of the music papers at the time.

 yes, - they have a good pr department.  The real negative thing about them is that they now have stopped taking ccards so this is a problem , - well it is for me.
