Ray Charles - America The Beautiful (Sax Cover Ikechi Onyenaka)

In this video, I perform my sax cover of Ray Charles America The Beautiful. This song released on Wednesday, March 7, 1979. This is a classic Ray Charles song.
Original Description:
I given a call back by the team in charge of the Philadelphia Winterfest Tree Lighting Show to perform live at the Wawa Salute To Independence Parade. I had always wanted to perform in a Wawa Welcome America event but hadn't gotten the opportunity to until now. Shortly after I was confirmed for the gig, I received word that I was going to be the first Solo Saxophonist in the history of Philadelphia to perform at the Wawa Welcome America 4th of July Parade.
This was earth shattering news to me because, to my knowledge, I had never made major history for a city before. This lead to a huge interview with NBC10 Philadelphia with the news interview highlighting my upbringing as a self taught jazz musician and performing artist. I am very honored to have performed at this event and hope to one day perform at many more parades and festivals in both in and outside of the United States (would also love to perform at the Wawa Welcome America Festival and July 4th Concert one day!).

Huge shout out to my Sister ‪@adaolasings‬ for recommending I cover this song for the event!
