He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.
People STOP comparing! Usher wasn't trying to be better than Ray Charles.. he did an awesome tribute! He deserves mad props for choosing to sing this iconic song in front of the FIRST black president!!
I like this song so much. Usher did a excellent rendition. Wow I think he is a first class artist. To sing this song is challenging. Ray Charles a wonderful artist . Usher should be proud as he accomplished it with such confidence. Thank you so very much
I'm so proud of Usher......he is so talented and heartfelt in everything he does. I just wish it were a little louder. But thanks. I adore GA myself and its people
However, Jaime was paid to be Ray I am still amazes at that performace. The new generation is Putting the "Spin " on older music...USHER is his own star .....
He came a long way bc at first when he came out he really couldn’t. That’s the difference betw someone that makes music and an artist - constantly improving their craft
its just nice to hear pop singers sing these kind of classic songs where in they could prove that they could sing anykind o songs,,, hands down to this cover of usher!! you just brought me to 70s man.....
Yeah, who would have thought, especially sweet this morning in the USofA 😇 Here’s to you all at the dawning of a new era and new beginnings from a half a world away in New Zealand ♥️
Many artists tend to try to over sing the hits of great artists. Sometimes it wise to back off and sing a tribute to the great artist. You can't out sing them, so give honor and respect by a good rendition. Usher did that. I have listened to this multiple times because he sang it "sweet"!
Do you know why I like to over sing songs? Because I know how to sang! Sing and I did it in front of you august 28, 2023! Now pay the lady for the hair bitch! I did mine myself!
LOVE Georgia and this version of the great song. With a bow to Jimmy Carter, Ray Charles, and most recently Stacy Abrams, Brad Raffensperger, Raphael Warnock, and Jon Ossoff. Thank you!
Hi edagdwg thanks You tube for sharing this story of what happens when you enjoy this man singing god bless him Linda j peace only God can make you feel were you come from the bless Ray Charles linda j. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
all you haters need to shut the hell up He did a fine job with that song. of course its not a carbon copy of Ray's, that would be impossible. But I feel he truly did the song justice. Ray would be proud as I was
It’s always on my mind. I truly miss Columbia County Georgia. Lived there 2005-2019. But I hope to stay down there during the winter post covid. What a great best kept secret part of the country!
Jenny, if the singer can sing, the rendition will be a winner! People act like he is Ray or trying to be, girl pay these folks no mind... Ray is here in spirit and Jaime can't be everywhere to perform it!
