His memories of childhood are filled with music. His father played piano?by ear. His uncles and cousins all played instruments and sang. So at the age of six, Richard started piano lessons at home. Renald Richard played the trumpet in the high school band. After high school, the government sent him into military service. He played his trumpet during his time in the United States Navy Band. Later, he performed while touring in a USO variety show. Richard thought he had learned enough from his time in the band and the USO show. But, Richard ended up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans. He played clubs on the city's famous Bourbon Street. He also toured with many bands including his family band, the Johnson Brothers, as well as Guitar Slim and Ivory Joe Hunter. While playing in Houston, Texas in 1954, Richard was?approached?by Jeff Brown, the manager of musician Ray Charles. In time, Richard became Charles' bandleader. Ray Charles was exacting, says Richard, and he demanded the same from band members. "He was a?perfectionist?and he was rather?strict?about his music." Richard says over their years together he came to realize the genius of Ray Charles. Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles. Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a?gig,?Richard wrote the song "I Got a Woman" for Charles. It became Ray Charles' first number one radio hit. The song put Ray Charles?on the map.
