On October 23rd 1979, Ray Charles (backed by his Orchestra and, of course, the Raelettes) made a historic appearance on the long-running PBS TV series Austin Limits, becoming not only the first black artist to play on it, but also the first major pop artist. He performed several of his best-loved standards, before closing with Deep In The Heart Of Texas, an affectionate nod to the state in which the show was made. The milestone performance is presented in full here, accompanied by background notes and images.
