Discount & Bargain
Collectors are primarily interested in the music itself, paying exorbitant amounts for rare grooves, unusual singles that are difficult to obtain. But, for most, thats the extent of the items they wish to collect. Memorabilia has no fascination for them. There are very few artists within the genre whose memorabilia is really collectable. For many years, Otis Redding, who died in the 1960s at a terribly young age, was the only really collectible artist. Until his death in 2006, James Brown influenced everyone, with a string of classic singles and albums, and whose music has been sampled endlessly as one of the main foundations of hip-hop. During his lifetime, as with other R&B and soul figures, there was little demand for James Brown memorabilia. Since his death both supply and demand have increased.
Ray Charles memorabilia is fairly scarce in the world of R&B and soul memorabilia. Theres the animatronic doll, some vintage photos, and the occasional old poster but sometimes unused 1960s tickets get no bids in online auctions, in spite of the low prices. Low prices could be a temporary phenomenon, so R&B and soul memorabilia can be a good long term investment.
