THEY'RE STILL HOLDING OUT FOR ONE OF THE GRAMMYS, THOUGH: A court has told Ray Charles' son that three grand a month is more than enough to live on. Corey Robinson Den Bok's mum had brought a legal action against Charles' estate demanding that the USD3,000 he'd been given in Charles' will be increased to allow him "the lifestyle he'd enjoyed when Ray Charles was alive" - living in a bigger house, and so on. The courts didn't look too kindly on the demand, buty equally rejected the Estate's suggestion that maybe Corey wasn't any relative of Ray's, on the not unreasonable grounds that Ray had popped him in the will in the first place.

All this fighting, and the man had even gone to the trouble of making a will. Blimey.
