Nothing like jammin' with the one and only Ray "the man" Charles. Willie and the world loves him and knows full well he's the rarest of what we sometimes call, "genius." he remains the greatest.
Musical History. They surpassed racism and hatred. They loved the musical gifts that each other had and just pushed each other musically and enjoyed what they created each time they played together.
Yes we did. We got along. Not like these people that became hater ,counter culture all those ones. Funny what wearing masks for two years can do to the brain.
I met Willie out at his Luck, TX ranch the day he was flying out to Ray's funeral. He was so kind and generous even though he was brokenhearted. I'll never forget the sparkle in his eye. Willie is a lovely man.
@jon1156 Jackie King is the guitarist. I have had the pleasure of seeing him quite a few times over the years in small intimate settings and saw him do a little recording at Willie's studio years ago. A great guy.
When you have two accomplished musicians who can play anything they want & you align the stars. Both are favorites in every era of making their music. RIP Mr. Ray Charles. You brought your soul into everything that you ever did and it was always top shelf and the same goes for Mr. Nelson!!
Country musicians playing blues with a 2-5-1? Amazing! All the years I played out, only the jazz folks had any clue about how to swing the blues. And me. ;-)
ray charles teve uma visao da musica, e um sentimento, que ninguem jamais pode ver e sentir como ele,toda humanidade sempre o admirou, com seu jeito muito expressivo musical. helio tinoco -uberlandia-mg-brasil
Fabulous it would be an honnor to be sitting in the same room has Ray Charles you are a true artist and I've loved your music . Your the greatest Ray Paula
Is there a DVD or something of this performance. they cut Angel Eyes short on here. Pinnacle performance. I just love it. But it's on one of Willie's albums from this live performance.
Check out more Willie, then look up Willie's son Lukas Nelson. Lukas will Carrie on Willie's music when he's gone, but he's just as talented & rocks out & already has his own career.
Wow! Wonder why video of Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, and Leon Russell singing (song for you) was removed? I and many others think because Ray stole the show. Even made Willie cry due to Ray doing his thing and making it a great performance.
I love Willie but Ray has more talent in his pinky than Willie. A huge disparity in talent on that stage. Willie is an outlaw country iconic image. Ray is a total package.
