There have been many musical legends, many talented singers/musicians/songwriters. But there has never been anyone more talented than the man Sinatra labeled "the only true genius in our business." Remembering Brother Ray on his 93rd birthday..we cant stop loving him.
They called Don Gibson a country singer, but I lived during his days and I can tell you he was more of a pop singer than country, because us teens loved his songs. This song, written by Don, was one of Ray's best.
God created Ray Charles and gave his wonderful talent , then when we assumed he would around forever God took him and left us with beautiful memories , what a gift from above.
Denis Roberts what a beautiful comment ___ Ray remains my hero ___it his influence on All Forms of popular music remains ____ I listen to country music and cry out ____ there goes Ray ____ there will never be another ___
My mom told me when I was a little boy I used to stand up in my crib and imitate Ray Charles by singing this song it’s had a big impact on my life forever God bless you Ray Charles
I loved every song he recorded.. Ray Charles had the most phenomenal voice and he laid his soul bare when he sang anything. How Blessed I was to have grown up to the sounds of his music. R.I.H. Ray and Thank you. Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤
I Love the song. I Love his suit. I Love the Raelettes and their dresses. I Love how seriously they all take their art. I Love Dick Cavett. This was a good era.
The groove that Ray puts into this! Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music is a work of genius, transforming the hurt of country music via R and B and even jazz arrangements into something that blurs all boundaries and is genre-blind. So far ahead of his time it is untrue, and yet paradoxically timeless - sounds as great today as many years ago.
Thank you for that wonderful and insightful comment. What I feel in my heart but couldn’t express with words. Would you please watch a duet of Ray and Glen singing Crying Time Again. Two legends, one masterpiece in my humble opinion.
He did as much for country music as anyone has ever done. Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music in 1962 may be the most important country album ever. It also did a huge amount for his career. Supremely talented.
Ray rocks..... ❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 My grandmother (1927-2006) introduced your songs to me in the early eighties in Brazil when I wad just a kid. That is just great.
Majestic ! Doesn't get any better than this. And from the shame of slavery that brutally suppressed such enormous talent but for the courage and the vision of a better society there arose such unparalleled dignified grandeur that continues to bless us all.
I saw Ray twice in person ____ once in Mass at a ballroom ___i danced to his live band. What a great experience. Then saw him in Atlantic City. ___ Billy Preston was with him in Atlantic City ___ came out with a yellow suit and sang and danced to Agent Double Soul. ____ great stuff. I love Ray
The man was truly a genius, remember these songs so vividly as a kid my parents had all his recordings, I was just a kid but these songs are so deep in my spirit, forever thanks for the memories
Ray was a true one of a kind! A lot of people just can't stop loving you, Ray, and will never want to. Your musically legacy will keep you alive always.
The genius of Ray Charles’ voice is that he could sing the alphabet, and it would be haunting, and soulful. Every utterance he makes in this song , and those of the Raelettes, is melodious, and can bring a tear to your eye. Amazing.
Ray tu es le plus grand crooneur ,pour moi, inimitable, in comparable, et j en passe. On ne se lasse pas de the ecouter et de te voir chanter ton recital infatiguable. On a perdu un grand artiste et une grande etoile. Encore un ange aupres du bon dieu aurevoir ray Charles! ...
Wow! That was awesome!!!! Hittin' it home brother Ray. Wow. That's in the pocket. Lord Almighty. RIP RAY. I saw you once but you didn't see me! Canada!
Thank you, dear Lord, for lending us all this magnificent gift of love, Ray Charles, that enriched and continues to enrich the lives of all mankind, especially that of Americans!
I thought it's Samuel L. Jackson singin'...hehe kidding aside... How he can play that piano so well while swayin and not even seeing it is sooo amazing !!! I can't even play when I'm staring at them keyboards... RAY CHARLES !!! .... very inspiring artist
Tive a oportunidade de estar no maracanazinho,fins dos anos 60, para assistir Ray Charles. Anos após, residindo nos USA, por dois momentos estive em show do grande Ray no Ruth Eckerd Hall, cidade de Clearwater, Flórida. Maravilha!
No one can sing this song like Ray, in my opinion. Love him as a very talented artist with backup singers, and great music on the piano. I treasure his music i own. Thanks for sharing. 4:46 4:46
