Ray Charles & Elton John - Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word (2004) 

Mr. Charles was dying and this was his last recording you can hear he was tired but excellence to his last performance. What a life what a talent. R.I.P.❤

in my opinion is the Duet Of The Century...

Even more heartbreaking is the fact that this is apparently Charles’ last recording before his passing.

I think this is an incredible version. Ray and Elton both put their heart and soul into their singing in this version. RIP Ray. Both are absolutely incredible entertainers. Ray was without a doubt one of the greatest singers of ALL time. Elton will also go down in history as one of the 20th centuries greatest singers/composers/songwriters.

Why am I sad listening to this version🥺

Ray Charles the Legend.

Ray canta in paradiso ❤😢che voce meravigliosa e che sentimento. Per sempre the Genius of soul ❤

I was today years old when I learned Ray Charles' last recording before his death was a duet with Sir Elton John. Two legendary singers/pianists collaborating........and now I'm gonna go cry my eyes out. R.I.P. Ray.

Theyre completely different artists: elton has legendary piano skills and when he sings its like hes telling you a story. While on the other hand ray hit you right to the heart as if he was making you feel the same emotions,real emotions. Both legendary artists, legendary album.

This is so sad and beautiful at the same time. Tears in my eyes

Oh that guitar!!

I love Elton John, but Ray Charles broke my heart on this interpretation. Two magnificent artists.

We might cannot speak the same language but music is the language we can all understand

L’inoubliable ray Charle quelle talent il restera pour toujours dans l’histoire ❤

Wonderful. Ray Charles is a great artist. Unforgettable.

The gold standard of vocalists.

How could music sound any sweeter than this! ty for the post

The first time I heard this song was in 1977 in the movie Slap Shot. It was perfect even if you only heard a small portion. This version is incredible

Wow ....amazing and perfect. if you don't feel something when you hear this song something ain't right what a gift Ray left on the world and we're lucky to have Elton John still performing.

"Charles we miss no one in the world as immense as you"✨❤️🎙️

i love how ray sings. his voice can touch your soul

this song has only one defect, it ends up

Real music leaves a tear in your eyes. If it's "too depressing" than you are much too scared to listen to real music, and go back to your Cold Play, or Justin Bieber.

Man Ray Charles is just heartbreaking, bless his soul, and bless Elton John.

Notice that this audience is international and that may be what language the world needs now.

I’m 15 years old and I think this song is Amazing just wow

.... I can't help but say ... This was a very elegant goodbye! ......

The way Ray Charles gets into song, amazing.

This song was beautiful to begin with but this duet with Ray Charles and the arrangement take it to a whole new level.

Such songs make me cry....not because I feel sorry I just miss the time such music was written and made...

I call this album his master class in singing with feeling. There is a difference when he sings.

❤ I love it!!!...oldies the Best❤

WOW!!! Ray had 'it' right till his end [2004]. The 'soul' he added to this song is superb. Loved his amazing music since l was 10 yrs old, - in Australia, in the early '60s.

respect from Georgia.country not a state

it's almost like ray is just talking the lyrics, he makes it sound so easy haha elton has an uncanny way of making any song sound like he lived it, which he sometimes did. both have so much pain in they're voice it's incredible.

😭 it's sad so sad to not hearing your warm voice again . the legend Ray Charles rest in peace 💙🙏 2020 and still can't stop listening to this song

Beautiful song Ray was going to leave in another world. I’m crying when I ‘m listening this song to emotional

Why have I only just found this? So much emotion in this song; incredibly uplifting. Wow, just wow!😍🇦🇺

Ray !!.......And I wake up and find that you re not there ! Why cant we talk it over!? ...When are you coming back darling Maestro ??

Ray Charles, he is a legend. I will remember him for his special sound

Oh my yess Ray Charles beautiful beautiful Song yes Elton J. 👍💥⭐️💥🥂🥂🦅🦅🦅🍂🦅😘❤️🤝🖐the Original

Can't believe, that i listen to this for over 10years now... Magnificent

How beautifully they complement each other :) Heartfelt singing!

Esta canción tiene muchas versiones con el paso de los años, todas buena pero esta la que me gusta más. Ray Charles y Elton John dos grandisimos ❤

This was the last recording for Ray Charles...RIP

Ray Charles last recording might just have been his best.... this song is just perfection.

Absolutely Outstanding Vocals, From 2 Legends. Actually had Goosebumps listening to This Version of that Song.

Such a wonderful remembrance of a great genius ----

Two classics singing a classic...both legendary.

What do we do without Ray Charles .Enjoy his music !!!

charles and elton john, legendary, i can listen to them sing anything for hours, u dnt get bored frm such wonderful voices, never gets old, pure talent and pure voices

Tremenda interpretación!! Me mueve todas las fibras✨👌😊

It I amazing .I love this song and with the voices of Ray Charlles and Elton John , is fantastic.

That voice opens whole new dimensions to this great song.

this is still the version I prefer...

A beautiful song made even more beautiful

His last song, so beautiful, so touching, so emotional just imagine if a song like this went to the grave with him. Rest in peace Ray Charles I dedicate this song to my late friend Adeola who died on the same day you died June 11 2004, I miss him like crazy with each and every passing day. I miss you home boy

Bloody brilliant combination 👌🎧

So beautiful, both of them. Perfect!

Grandioso homenaje.

Obra de arte …es increíble la voz de un genio que va a morir al día siguiente de este tema conmovedor…. El dúo es magnifico

2 titans of music together. Awesome.

I saw Ray Charles live a long time ago and let me tell you it was such an honor. Ray was such a great showman, when Ray got going man his right leg was bouncing up and down while he was tickling those 88's. It was a thrill to se a living legend back then!!

Breathtaking, with a huge amount of respect for the artist. Every time I listen to this song I hear how fragile his health was at the end. A great musician has gone..

Grande los dos... bella interpretación.. Ray y Elton ♥️

Amazing, simply AMAZING !!!

Beautiful version!!! Just LOVE it !!!

What a great duet, in fact, it is chilling.

RU-vid always suggests Ray Charles. However, this is the first time I listen to his voice ... it is great

Omg, I loveeeeeeeeeeeee this song so much!!!

Beautiful!!Beautiful. Thursday August 20th 2020

Rest in peace Brother Ray. You music and genius live on.

Esta música é uma das mais belas músicas de Sir Elton John. E está gravação com Ray Charles... maravilhoso!!

Гениальные исполнители и превосходная песня! Ещё один шедевр и достояние целой эпохи! Восторг! Хит на все времена! Спасибо!

Best music at night ,when you are alone

I'm Taiwanese. This song is my life.classic and sad. Get more whisky in the bottle,please. Thank you～

The best of the best! I never get tired of listening such a magnificent and beautiful song performed by these two great stars. May God bless Ray Charles for ever!

Great! Perfect!!!

Wow! Never heard this version. Beautiful. Thank u for taking time to post this. I cry. ♡

La voie de ray Charles est tellement touchante , il retransmet tellement d'émotion

Nobody will ever equal the soul in this man's voice. whoever had idea to give this man piano lessons changed history on this planet. Think about it....who could ever equal this man sitting at a piano. Ummmm blind by the way. Bless him

Deux grands monsieurs de la chanson c'est juste mais juste sublissime 💜💜💜

This is Ray Charles last song he made for this album and the last one he ever made. The guy was superhuman. He never complained while he was in pain from cancer. He expected the best from everyone including himself. Elton still talks about Ray Charles at his concerts and dedicates this song to him. The original mixing board for this song has never been changed since he made this song and died. Til this day it still hasnt been touched

Only song that can make me cry and this is my favourite version.

OMG!!! IS A GIFT!!!

I didn't know about the last duet. That makes me cry. I love Elton, and Ray. I share a birthday with Ray. Genius truly does love company. They killed this. I wonder how Elton felt with this being Ray's last recording? He loved American blues so much...

They really complement each other with this emotional rendering of this classic. Still remember hearing it for the first time in the movie, Slap Shot.

wonderful rendition. So glad they had the opportunity to bless us like this.

🖤Ray Charles what a wonderful voice ...

Ray what a talent ...his voice was dope

Such a beautiful rendition👌❤

This is simply beautiful ❤️

Essa canção dispensa comentários ❤️💓😭😭Amo demais 👏👏👏👏👏

One of the most beautiful songs ever. "The" Genius singing with another true genius... I didn't know this version, thanks a lot for posting and God bless you. It reminds me of Joe Cocker, too: another great singer passed away.

Ray is the man! Awesome version!

I can almost imagine how two meastros talked about. They are both incredible pianist and their depth of knowledge of the interpretation of composition is deep.

Sempre venho aqui pra ouvir essa música 🎵 não sei pq , só choro , ela toca de forma inexplicável 😪

A real artist. A masterpiece.

He was not a good singer, He was and is a LEGEND

That opening phrasing, takes my breath away. Perfection.
