Ray Charles performed several times at their yearly Telethon: on 9/10 March 1986 (watch this), on 7/8 March 1987, on 4/5 March 1989, in April 1996, and on 20/21 April 1997 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium (photo with Pat Boone here).
Musical accompaniment was dlivered by Joe Guercio and his Orchestra (1979, 1986-87), and Ralph Carmichael and his Orchestra (1988 onwards).

Who knows more about the contents of these shows?
