    We don't call Ray a legend for nothing. I've sang this song I know over 50 times in my lifetime, starting as a child. Yet, I sit here typing this comment with tears in my eyes while listening to this beautiful rendition by Ray. The words tell us how beautiful America is, as well as the beautiful people living in America. The words means democracy. Please vote people. GOD BLESS.

    Considering all the trials that Mr. Charles went through, that he still believed tact the American still applied to to him. A great American.

    The absolute DEFINITIVE version of this ironic song.
    If Ray had given us nothing but this one song, he'd be a legend.
    Thank you, Ray! ❤️‍🔥

      He passed away the same time Ronald Reagan did,so it took a little of the spotlight away from him , but not for me.

    We sang "America" at school all of the time. We prayed and said the pledge every morning and it never hurt any of us. I'm so proud to be an American.

    Here is someone who tasted embarrassing segregation and bigotry, but still sees his country as, though flawed, exceptional with promise. This song is a call to forgiveness and realization of these ideas.

    Dear God🙏♥️💕 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
    I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
    You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
    Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

    If anyone had dared to "take a knee" while Ray sang this song, the crowd would've taken them outside in the parking lot & dealt with it right then.
    And this isn't even the National Anthem!

    The Gospel of salvation of our souls: 💜💕💜💖💞💜💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,
