I heard this sad news at my job at Folk Legacy on September 01, from David Paton. Caroline Paton and I had seen Archie in concert, separately, about a year and a half ago, and Archie told us Ray wasn't well and at the time I did not know the nature of her illness. I had seen Ray in concert in the mid-1970s, perhaps at the Middletown (NJ) Folk Festival. Her singing left an strong impression upon me. Her music is always present at Folk Legacy, as we have her as well as Archie and Cilla in the collection. She will be sadly missed.
