I realise this is perhaps beside the point of the post – but wasn’t Ray Charles the ‘Godfather of Soul’? I thought so at least.

In fact, Raman was correct and James Brown was the “Godfather of Soul.” I do not recall Ray Charles being refered to as a Godfather of anything. He certainly had soul though.
