Postal Service inducts Ray Charles into Music Icons Stamp Series

usps_stamps_ray_stampsOn what would have been his 83rd birthday, the “father of soul,” Ray Charles, returns to two “stamping ovations” today as the latest inductee into the Postal Service’s Music Icons Forever Stamp Series. Chaka Khan will perform at the Los Angeles first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony and Ashanti will highlight the Atlanta event.

The ceremonies will take place at the Ray Charles Performing ArtCenter at Morehouse  in Atlanta at 11 a.m. EDT, and The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles at 1 p.m. PDT today. Both events are free and open to the public.

Available today in sheets of 16, customers may purchase the stamps at usps.com/stamps<http://www.usps.com/stamps>, at 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724) or at Post Offices nationwide.
