I think Willie & Ray's wonderful music and friend relationship goes back decades. I'd have to look up if Willie wrote any songs for Ray as he's written so many songs. And you have to see a later performance with Leon Russell, one of Leon & Ray's late performances as it was not long before their respective deaths. And the look of endearment & awe by Willie when watching Ray Charles play, says it all. These men meant a lot to one another. And that's not often shared in media.
This is what blind people do. They are expressing their feelings and soul the way we sighted people cannot. It's God's gift; they feel things more intensely than we do and respond unashamedly.
I just wonder....... What is it like??????? To wake up each day - as Willie Nelson!!!?!!! Dmn! All these years, CD's, Concerts, ---- Cocktails or Cleanin House - I feel like I've know the man! Introduction all those years back - at the DI, (Thanks Richv- by the way) and I click on this tune - love the piece - love Ray Charles' version - and cheese-n-rice Willie, you still did so much work - it is hard to keep us with you - As great as I ever heard you sign this piece and just the style, the musical intelligence and just awe. I am in awe with the two friends and their gifts - know you miss Ray - go see Leon and give a call as to where I could witness something like this. Mercy!
Hey you probably found it by now but there are a few songs they did this day like Georgia and Seven Spanish Angels. Also beautiful is this performance from later when Ray makes Willie cry... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4-kO2OrQnz0.html
