Not sure what everyone else heard, I didn’t hear Margie sing one note, I heard her Soul speak from the deepest place a human can draw from. Pure emotion.

Sadly there's only a few that are carrying the torch and keeping this kind of music alive. The youth of today aren't interested in this kind of music. There's a few but not many.
Margie Hendrix’s vocals in this song is arguably the most intense vocal ever recorded. This a real feel good type of record, but Margie’s solo puts it over the top. You can actually feel the love she felt for this man through this verse, almost like she was speaking directly to his soul. Ray Charles was absolute genius for discovering her.
In 1953 I attended a Ray Charles concert in Ft Worth, Tx. He had the Rayelettes and the Red Prysock Orch. I must've been the only white guy at the performance. No black person bothered me in the least. I owned every album he recorded. This tune was covered by Rufus Thomas and his daughter Carla. Magic!!!.
Factz. Notice the feeling you get from the live actual instruments being played and a real emotional voice no auto tune. Thats why the created artificial music.
I cannot get enough of Margie Hendrick's superlative vocals without which this song would be simply very good rather than iconic. Notice how she can scream "Baby" without losing any resonance or sounding nasal and she can repeat it several times. And you can hear the effortless melisma after each "Baby" which is sung quieter creating the effect of a dying scream. Her versatility is a joy to listen to. What a voice.
+TheMusicZone That's because Ray had sense enough to cut Margie loose on the song. When a bandleader trusts his musicians, magic happens. And Margie had more than enough magic to make this song eternal.
My mother gave me all my father records he died in 1980 she died in 2019 before she got sick we would sit together and listen to this record over and over rip mommy and daddy i dont have a record player to listen to this classic anymore but i still have the record ❤😊
I get goosebumps and cry every time I hear it. Her voice touches my soul with this song. Her and Ray Charles killed it! Still 🔥 after all these decades.
I don't care what anybody say thank you Bill Cosby for the wonderful memory of the family performing this song for The Anniversary Party of the grandparents little Keisha Knight Pulliam killed this
TRIPLE AMEN! They don't make music like this any more, and very few people in modern times know anything about it and will never experience it. You had to of been born at the right time to know what this sound is all about! It's about the Living Soul of a person or persons speaking, the ACTUAL PERSON! The One who exists when the body has returned to dust! THAT PERSON!
My father just passed away two weeks ago from Alzheimer’s after a long battle and I remember him playing this song and dancing singing his heart out. I was in a store last night and it came on the radio and I danced my ass off through the whole store in honor of my father. Thank you dad for having excellent taste in music and making me not afraid to dance while everyone is looking. I know you saw me and laughed just like everyone else was in that store.
@@dennisp5725 . Thank you. I went out and bought the CD and I think I listen to this song at least three times a week and it makes me smile thinking of my father. I know he’s not suffering anymore and even though we miss him at least I have all these memories to remember him until we meet again.
Those “BAY-BAYYYYYYYY”s Margie hit snatches my spirit every time 😭 I know that microphone was about to blow tf up And I read she died at THIRTY EIGHT!! How heartbreaking!
+Robert Gough I still can't believe what has happened to bill Cosby- how could he have done this to this many women and it stayed as quiet as it did for so many years?
Margie was singing to her man!!! Ray!!!!! they had an affair and a kid. His Wife Della knew about it, along with the other women. But yeah, margie Killed it. No doubt about it!!!!!
I love ray now and I feel so stupid for not knowing his genius I literally went and either downloaded or bought all of his albums and projects but I’ll be a real one and say I wouldn’t of done it if Jamie Foxx didn’t play him in a movie called Ray that changed my life as a person and artist
Ray Charles was a very determined and savvy man. No one helped him while he was out in the country. He did it ALL HIMSELF. I salute this remarkable man. Miss his genius. God Bless Ray Charles my favorite singer of my generation. So missed by many. 😢❤️
As a white man, I am happy to listen to music made by this brilliant artist. Try to see how artists with all sorts of ethnic backgrounds respect each other.
I can listen to this all day! Margie loved him fierce! The words "put no one above you..." damn makes me think of my old man who passed" Margie the Best of the best!!
classic blues nothing can match this. Ray is mastering that Wurlitzer . The whole arrangment from the drums to the sax to miss Margie's voice is just one greatest songs in the rock era. Excellent.
I can literally feel this song deep down in the pit of my soul!!!! Sheesh!!!! Margie Hendrix meant every note she sang, and I felt it!!!!! Good God Almighty!!!!!
OMG right when it starts you hear that guitar whew omg gives me chills. I love this song. Love the instruments being played. The way they are played is so addicting. A sound I never heard before. I wish music was still made this way. Where you actually use instruments instead of pressing a button. Margie killed this song omg absolutely love her.
Those were the great days. Lucky you , I am 63 , but from different back ground . As you know there’s no boundaries, languages, or races while good sound is played. Great respect for the governor MR RAY CHARLES.
Ho i brividi. Soprattutto per la voce solista della cantante. Straordinario è dire poco. Pultroppo questa grande voce ( del coro ) morì per overdose . Pochissimo tempo dopo questa registrazione . Una cantante mitica . D.af.
Bill Cosby help make this song go worldwide on his show bless you Bill Cosby I'll be glad when you get out so you can join your family Happy Ever After
Yes I remember Hearing this almost every weekend , when the grown folks would party , smoke and drink.... Yes no static , No Guns , No Gangs just Music playing on the record player especially Ray Charles and the Raelettes .... truly a great time of life
+jmovip It's back in the 1950s and 60s. Ray was one of true pioneers of rock and roll before there officially was rock and roll. Same with Big Joe Turner.
My Mom , Uncle's , Aunt's (R.I.P.) used to play 🎼this 🎹song🎤🎷🎸 when I was very young . My little feet would be tapping . I think of them whenever I hear this song .
That would have to be my first introduction to Ray Charles.... That episode. I know I've never forgotten it. Thank God I have appreciation for him Now. He's always on my playlist.
In my opinion, Ray Charles was deeply rooted in the U.S. Many styles went back to Africa, and the loop was looped, with artists such as Féla Kuti for the Funk, Ali Farka Touré for the Blues, or Mulatu Astatké for that particular kind of Jazz that is Ethio Jazz, but I think that Blues and Jazz are American first.
@@pierric2748 to be fair, the origins of the music styles would be African American first but of course it is influenced by both cultures. She has a point though, black people did put the "soul" into American Music.
i've been listening to this song at least weekly for the last 10 years.....And EVERYTIME Margie hendrix is hitting her "BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" , she makes me fly to the moon
My favorite Ray Charles song! ❤
Not sure what everyone else heard, I didn’t hear Margie sing one note, I heard her Soul speak from the deepest place a human can draw from. Pure emotion.
I absolutely agree, well said!
HOOOOOO!!!
Yeah she sang from the soul because she was fucking Ray LOL
Blakkjuice.. We know. He was her child's father, no?
agreed. cant find a singer with that much soul nowadays
The Blackest record in musical history. Ray Charles KILLED IT!!!
Especially because of what "night" meant to him, it was perpetual
absolutely
Whites also made similar music but yeah the soul genre mostly belongs to black folk
@@EricCole69 mostly yes but not totally ______ influenced by Ray many types of music exhibit great soul. Especially country music ____ CHRIS STAPLETON ___before him TRAVIS TRITT ___ BEFORE HIM HANK WILLIAMS JR. ____ JUST TO NAME A FEW
This is cold🔥
Margie screams her love and passion for Ray in her verses. You can feel it there.
Margie was probably looking directly at Ray when she sang her part!
You SEE the movie :v
Wish they still made music like this!!! Sets my soul on fire!!
I feel ya
Sadly there's only a few that are carrying the torch and keeping this kind of music alive. The youth of today aren't interested in this kind of music. There's a few but not many.
Truth
@@Tennessee24This song is more popular now than it was in the '50s
Great stuff!!

Margie MADE this song. What a voice! What soul! 💜

Margie Hendrix's performance on this song is arguably the most intense vocal ever recorded.
She loved that man!

Oh yes! Tell the truth.
Margie's solo was arguably the greatest in music lore!!!!!
I had the privilege of seeing Mr.Charles, his orchestra, and The Raylettes !
I get goosebumps and cry every time I hear it. Her voice touches my soul with this song. Her and Ray Charles killed it! Still 🔥 after all these decades.
TRIPLE AMEN! Best dog gone SOUL MUSIC of ALL TIME!
I don't care what anybody say thank you Bill Cosby for the wonderful memory of the family performing this song for The Anniversary Party of the grandparents little Keisha Knight Pulliam killed this
MY FAVORITE EPISODE 🗣👁👀🆙️
Keisha Knight Pulliam was so cute in that show!
My grandfather LOVED Margie's voice. That was the only reason he listened to this song.
Why can’t we have a new Ray Charles!? Impossible that’s why, Once in a lifetime talent and driven man!! While being 100% blind!! Incredible!!
Nobody can beat Ray Charles. The best of the best. Love Margi Hedricks
Love this. The Huxtables inspired me n my family to perform this at my moms 76th surprise bday party. Thank you Mr. Ray Charles for your Brilliance❤
Same!!!!
When Margie starts singing....lawd, I get excited!

shivers
She was in love with that man fa sho
this man is genius
Kedar. U ain't lying ! U ain't lying ! 😄
Go ahead...Margie...!!! Sing your Song!!! WHEW!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
This fucking song is still badass in 2019,thank you Ray and Margie for a timeless classic🔥❤️
Still bad ass in 2024 classic.
Margie sounds so good she sung the hell out of this song Rip Margie.
Margie was the salt, pepper, hot sauce, and ketchup. She definitely added some extra flavor to this classic!
I like that lol
Haha, yes!!
Salt, pepper, ............ damn it, she was a whole shelf-ful of spices!
My grandmother use to play this song a lot. All I remember is big head wraps, the smell of red rice and beans, and being in the country.
This is one of the best songs to ever be recorded.
This helped make the Cosby Show, at one point!
I agree ❤
TRIPLE AMEN! They don't make music like this any more, and very few people in modern times know anything about it and will never experience it.

2:54 that note Ray hits just rips my soul to shreds....INSTANT CHILLS!!
You can feel the love she felt for this man through this verse ..no other like it 😌
Rudy killed that skit 👏👏💯🌟🌟🌟.. She's so adorable
Ray Charles, Marvin Gay, Micheal Jackson, Tupac Shakur are my favorite artists.
Special list right there🔥🔥🔥
Heeelllllllo From Poland
Happy Birthday Margie. She is one of the most underrated singers of all time. May she continue to RIP.
So happy at the number of comments showing love for Margie Hendricks, her voice always gives me goose bumps.

I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful story to share. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. 💖
My condolences.
Her voice is so strong , give you goosebumps
Ray combined God's music (gospel) with The Devil's music (The blues)....and BAM! Rock & Roll...or Soul Music
Margie Hendricks , those vocals , Shame she didn't get the recognition she deserves
+yusuf mohamed Yes she did, but she drank it all away before she had a chance to shine. Sad. She kills it here.
+Myk McGrane Sad!! Her voice was flawlessly versatile. I can hardly find any biographical info on her other than her being Charles' lover.
"Well, I did manage to get next to quite a few of the Raelettes over the years." - Ray Charles
yusuf mohamed she died of overdose of heroin the women vocalist
Bobby Bright Regina King brought that woman back from the dead.
The first time I heard this song was on the Bill Cosby show...I loved this. "The night time is the right time."
Those “BAY-BAYYYYYYYY”s Margie hit snatches my spirit every time 😭 I know that microphone was about to blow tf up
And I read she died at THIRTY EIGHT!! How heartbreaking!
when Margie started singing I caught chills
Me too
The scream of Margie is just amazing.
Yes she does give you chills. I remember my very first time hearing this. This will always be my favorite Ray Charles song
Im goin thru it now
Tears of joy for me
The Cosby Show where the Huxtable grandparents are celebrating their anniversary and did a skit to this song, Classic TV!
epic 😊
+Robert Gough I still can't believe what has happened to bill Cosby- how could he have done this to this many women and it stayed as quiet as it did for so many years?
+bill chew Because none of it is true - some old bitches spread rumors and told tall tales.
+bill chew because obviously the night time was the right time!
Robert Gough I believe that's true otherwise the material from Cosby like Dice Clay not Cosby
I'm 59 years old and I can play this and the youngsters marvel at how great this song is; classic beyond doubt!!!!
🎶💞🎶 NZ 2024 Still a Great Song 🎶
Margi absolutely sung her heart out
Lisa Boyce Margie was in love.. Lol
Margie was singing to her man!!! Ray!!!!! they had an affair and a kid. His Wife Della knew about it, along with the other women. But yeah, margie Killed it. No doubt about it!!!!!
She was expressing heartfelt love!
She indeed did get enough awards for her singing.And Ray Charles this so good
Kara Terrell I Howlin Wolf f be with the one you
Come through the hood WHAMMIN this ol school classic. R.I.P. Grand Dad
The sax piece right at the beginning from 0:06 to 0:17 blew my mind off even before Ray and Margie started their magic. What a performance!
YES!!! I got chills.
Yeah, a monumental intro by David "Fathead" Newman. Stunning.
That would be fathead killing the sax
I love ray now and I feel so stupid for not knowing his genius I literally went and either downloaded or bought all of his albums and projects but I’ll be a real one and say I wouldn’t of done it if Jamie Foxx didn’t play him in a movie called Ray that changed my life as a person and artist

Credit to his mama for telling him don’t let nobody turn you into a cripple.
The first time I heard this song is when little Rudy and family sang it on the Cosby show...Been loving it since then.
As a white man, I am happy to listen to music made by this brilliant artist. Try to see how artists with all sorts of ethnic backgrounds respect each other.
The Cosby show will forever and always be connected to this song no matter what Cosby is going through!
This is one of Ray Charles's greatest contributions..."Night time is the right."
Search for Rhythym & Blues and this came up. Just marvellous.
Это сколько же перепели эту песню? CCR, Animals...Шедевр, неленка!
I can listen to this all day! Margie loved him fierce! The words "put no one above you..." damn makes me think of my old man who passed" Margie the Best of the best!!
I just listened to it like 5 times. Amazing song!
Ms. Donna I so remember them days I'm 52 years old but this kind of music will never go away....listening to to it as I comment on your reply
You can literally feel Margie , she pulled deep........baaaaabe 💜
Margie loved Ray Charles for real. Her voice on this tune will never be duplicated. Rest in paradise Margie.

@@allisonelliott6304 nothing but some sweet music
I love my African people we have soul hands down. 💜 best music ever
In my opinion, Ray Charles was deeply rooted in the U.S.
Many styles went back to Africa, and the loop was looped, with artists such as Féla Kuti for the Funk, Ali Farka Touré for the Blues, or Mulatu Astatké for that particular kind of Jazz that is Ethio Jazz, but I think that Blues and Jazz are American first.
thank you love
❤
@@pierric2748 to be fair, the origins of the music styles would be African American first but of course it is influenced by both cultures. She has a point though, black people did put the "soul" into American Music.
@@pierric2748 Absolutely. Blues and jazz are America's true folk musics.
This make me think of my grandad.. room full of family, cans of Budweiser ...blues blasted ..toe tapping and cigarette smoke..#memories #2020
