”Ray’s Mood” Slow Gospel Blues Piano 

Frankly, this is one of the most beautiful blues songs I’ve ever heard, and this is coming from an aspiring blues musician. Thank you.

This sounds like any given day or night at any of the holiness churches I used to go to, except they played at full speed and had organ, drums, and out of this world vocal backups.

The walk down at the end is like golden rays of a sun.

After 25 years of playing music by ear and by heart (and by writing down chord progressions) this has finally convinced me to learn how to read notes/sheet music. Amazing piece!

Late 2021? I’ve picked up a full sized 88 weighted keyboard with pedal so I can learn this. It’s been 10+ years since I’ve last played and I’m almost 38! I got the first 2 pages down already.

I'm a new student, in my late 60s, and learning by myself on a well-known online app. And yes, I know, not alot going for my piano career. I'm 3 months in, still trudging through the foundations which I know is part of paying my dues. Hearing pieces like this inspire me to continue, even though looking at these sheets rolling by might as well be ancient Phoenician. Since starting to learn I'm listening closer to music and hearing things that I didn't used to hear. More than ever I find music amazing and worth the effort. I'll never get to a piece like this, but somewhere between where I am now and this piece is where I'll level off, hopefully closer to this piece.

The sound of this is just beautiful. Thank you.

1:45 What Amazing Technique You Have !

Sounds like a Gospel version of “Georgia On My Mind”

this is tremendous! I would like to see more slow and soft blues like that... it's just amazing

Your arrangements are outstanding. I’m a piano teacher trying to teach jazz and blues. Your charts are excellent teaching methods. I congratulate you.

I remember at first staff georgia on my mind. The title says that is in Gospel and i got confused with it. This is a Ray song. 👏👏👏

This is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Gospel I heard in a very long time. Doumo arigato, maestro Hiroshi.

I grew up with this music on Sunday mornings.

Thanks Hiroshi for allowing me to express my grief through your beautiful music.

I could hear this all day...

I'm so gonna buy the blues collection!! Love your work!!

This is amazing! Please keep the overhead piano view I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks so much

A STUNNING KEYBOARD TOUCH! FANTASTIC ARRANGEMENT! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

Like this is so beautiful when each melody hits i just feel a tear coming 🦋✨

Never heard anything more beautiful!

I started out playing piano in music school when i was 8. Then switched to guitar when i was 11, en then to electric guitar when i was 12. Ive been playing for 26 years now. And all i want when i hear this is go back to when i was 8 years old and smack that jackass teaching me nonsense children songs while i was listening to blues and gospel at the time already. This show how important first impressions are when you start out as a youngster. And that counts for everything. Now im almost going 40, but before that i WILL be able to play this beatiful piece! Ill be damned if i don't. Thank you sir!

I subscribed in 30 seconds that says it all. Outstanding. I play gospel every Sunday you're doing fine. Excellent

Que buena interpretación, esos acordes aumentados y disminuidos quedan hermosos, y el fraseo es bellísimo !!!!

Sounds like a crossover between Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" and Ray Charles' "Georgia On My Mind"

Really really beautiful ! I can't find the words to describe how beautiful Thank you.

Very well done. Thanks a lot. This was most educative. I know all the theory of it but how to put it in practice in an elegant way that is fluent and pleasant to the ear, is quite another matter.

Спасибо !!!!!!!!!! Шикарное исполнение!!!!!!!!! Обязательно выучу на фортепиано!!!!

Awesome! So beautiful to listen to. Someday I hope to be able to play it myself. Ray Charles is the greatest. He has many more piano pieces that are equally wonderful.

I don't play piano because out of all the instruments I've tried it makes the least sense to me but playing along with this video trying to copy you sometimes and improvise sometimes was really helpful. idk why but not thinking about it and just playing around with what I heard got me to find the key right away, stay in it and find chords. Thanks for this!

Just beautiful, I love it!

Love the blues and would love to see more of these lessons and also some slow blues with left hand vamps along with right hand runs and licks etc…thanks so much 🎹Grant

This brought me to tears. Thank you. Amazing play and arrangement

love every single note

I had been trying to figure out what this genre was called, and this was the first thing I heard when I searched gospel piano. This is so beautiful, and the feeling it gives me sits deep and comfortably in my heart. Thank you for this beautiful performance
