Hey Uncle Ray 🎹🎄🎄🎶🏆

Just when you think you have it all worked out, you hear this by Ray.....without a doubt one of the greatest Christmas tunes to this date...RIP Ray and thanks

Amazing performance...RIH brother Ray...You are missed and loved...

Sweet baby Jesus

Ray had so much soul. (I just can't get over it)

Do yourself a favor and play this on a large screen TV and appreciate the gold snowflake cuff links Ray is rocking!!

You know when Ray does it he throws in everything including the kitchen sink 💯❤️

OMG!!!!! I don't care how old this performance is, I felt that!!!! Real music, real entertainment.... And to those 132 people, you're getting a lump of coal in your stocking.

As the ole say'n goes, they don't make music like that no more.

This man can turn a simple christmas song into an amazing rock tune. He IS a legend.

Ray never failed in his art. He will remain the genius of all times

These German were really enjoying the show! Classic

Listen well to the breaks!!!!!! Atomic swing!

Brother Ray doing full and complete justice to the Charles Brown classic!!

I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing this genius in Joliet Ilinois. Never will forget

THIS SONG IS A TRUE BLUES CLASSIC PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE MASTERS OF BLACK JAZZ BLUES. THANK YOU RAY CHARLES FOR BEING A GENIUS AND AN ICON.

Joyeux Noël et bonne année mon zamour, merci pour tout ce que tu me donnes .... les petits moments de bonheurs , tes petits plats , tes cadeaux .....

God have mercy music ain't like it used to be

When I listen the Ray playing blues my body has chills everywhere!!!! That feeling... That singing, that playing... Oh gooood! Gloria mercy!

Blues with the maestro , he never overplays never shows off, his phrasing is sublime. I love Ray Charles

Ray was always at his finest live, with an appreciative audience. Thank you for this Christmas gift.

Soul Brother Christmas Vibes 🎄.

Nothing like sitting in the living room,watching the lights blink on the Christmas tree, with a tall glass of Mr. Jack Daniels on ice,And Mr. Ray Charles!

lord have mercy......this is tooooo much soul for an ordinary man to take! i'm in bliss

The GREAT Ray Charles at his best! The one and only!

Ray, playing the blues, band, piano, "lite up like a Christmas tree"! If it gets any better than that, I've never seen it! Joyous and life affirming.

Preparing my playlist for the holidays...wouldn't be complete without Ray Charles

Such a great bluesy version of this classic. Ray and Elvis both have killer versions of this one and both are distinctly different.

Everyone! Kneel at the shrine of Brother Ray. There has never been anyone like him and there never will be.

The same for you dearest Marion ! All the best for you and your family !

The flailing around of Ray Charles' legs speak volumes to how the right words set against the right musical notes can contort the body. I'm feeling mighty fine too - got good music on my radio!

Ray. You the Man!!! Song the song, SANG-it..... Nobody has or can do it better.... Where has the music today gone.....

Dear God - thank you for these wonderful musician Mr. Ray Charles!

Nothing like drinking a tall glass of sugar free cranberry juice at the table with mom at Christmas 🎅 thank you Jesus Christ for ur blessings and ur grace joy to the world Amen

Gods be, I love this man! MERRY XMAS 2021 XO

Enormous genius, and here appears also as a giant of the pure blues. So long Ray, rest in peace now.

2017 & still rocking this timeless version

Although it's been said many times, many ways, Brother Ray was a frigging genius.

He and Charles Brown did this song.

Listening in May. Just as festive!

It doesn't get better than this.

Ray Charles brought magical soul to anything he played.

you kind of forget with Ray's vocals being so buttery blues distinctively smooth soul what a tasty, monster muthafucka awesome piano player he is! Thank you Ray for a life well-lived, shared, and blessed be thy name.

❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow. Truly fantastic. I only saw Ray and his orchestra once, about a year and a half after this performance, here in Toronto....and I have done a lot of stupid things in my life...but that was definitely NOT one of them. The guy was a god. Merry Christmas everybody. All the best in 2013.

Ray Charles will always be one of the greatest artist whom ever lived.

Elvis kicked his ass on this song

I saw Ray Charles in a small nightclub; dinner club - and had a table right in front of the stage. Literally had goosebumps when they walked him out onstage.

da one and only Mr. Ray Charles....

ray giving these good german folks some soul.........

man he is an icon for a reason the man was a genius

Ahhhh yes yes yes this is my go to holiday song since I was like 14 10 years strong . People look at me weird cause I sway like he does when listening to certain music but they just can’t feel it like I can

How immensely privileged that audience must have felt, to witness a masterful soulful musician of that magnitude.

Merry Christmas baby Sure do treat me nice Merry Christmas baby Sure do treat me nice Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas I feel like I'm in paradise I feel mighty fine, y'all I've got music on my radio Feel mighty fine, girl I've got music on my radio, oh, oh, oh I feel like I'm gonna kiss you Standing beneath that mistletoe Santa came down the chimney Half past three, y'all Left all them good ole presents For my baby and for me, ha, ha, ha Merry Christmas baby Sure do treat me nice You bought me all those good ole presents I love you baby rest of my life Merry Christmas, girl Merry, merry, merry Christmas baby Sure do treat me nice Merry Christmas baby I said you sure do treat me nice You bought all those lovely things, yeah I feel like I'm in paradise I wish you a merry Christmas baby Happy new year, ha A merry Christams, honey Everything here is beautiful I love you, baby For everything that you give me I love you, honey...

so so good!!

Yes,yes,yes !!!! Thank you ! Merry Xmas Everybody !

Takin them to church....literally

Merry Christmas everybody

Are you kidding me, Ray is the man..Awesome

Holy kamoley! That guy could sing the PHONE BOOK and I'd sit at his feet and listen.

Ray was so cold on the Blues it was ridiculous.

Adding some Flava to a Charles Brown classic.

Like WOW. Sydney, Australia.

This year, a friend of mine has been sending me RU-vid links to favorite Christmas songs, and I've vowed to listen down the list religiously. This one: Well, of course, it's "good" because it's Ray Charles, but it doesn't really fill me with any Christmas Spirit. Its "spirit" is kinda like any sluggish Friday night at any time of the year.

Love Always Merry Christmas to the family,

Very fitting that they all seem to be sitting in church pews

Okay, I admit it - I LOVE Christmas blues!
