Love to read all your comments guys! Can't believe I uploaded this 13 years ago. Of course this video is demonetized, and it should be. I just love the reactions and memories it brings to all of you. Keep grooving!
The first time he played this song was because he was playing for a club and ran out of material, so he improvised this entire song. The crowd was so into it he just kept playing. Amazing
@Skrill Dilly not everyone did. And the fact is really interesting. They made him play more so he came up with this song and there are a lot of other songs he made and recorded from the first time.
Oh my god...Why I wasn't born at that time too see him live in my crazy and wonderful hometown, Sao Paulo - Brazil?!!!!!?! The "paulistas" (as it's called who was born in Sao Paulo) really love the american black music, whether it be the Jazz, Blues, R&B, Funk, Soul etc
And just think: He's playing this blind. Even the most trained highly practiced concert pianists look at their keyboard when they play. This guy never could. Can you imagine the hours he must have practiced to know the right position of every key? To be able by slight touch instantly know where each one is.
Concert pianists play songs significantly harder than this. These soul/blues songs have very repetitive patterns which make it easier to play. Over time, muscle memory will make it easy for him to play the songs. Impressive, nonetheless.
Well, this is brilliant! -But my heart soars to see all the horns playing “auxiliary percussion”! Whatever the future holds, I live in a time where I get to see this!
Although this song itself may not be technically very complex or anything, the thought that he actually "wrote" it by ad-libbing it live on stage in front of a paying audience is just mind blowing. Not just the talent, just think of the guts it would take to do something like that. Absolutely Amazing.
@@adrianveseli3379 and spesking of Killer, aka Jerry Lee Lewis you should give his version a listen. Will also blow you away. Between his 3 on sun theres m as ny live versions he did at his shows
Wow!!! I'm speechless... this song is the very soul of blues music. An orchestra, some backup singers, a feverish tempo, and the leading voice of Ray singing a very basic score and you have, like, the very best song ever written!!
God bless Ray Charles! He not only wrote TIMELESS music, but he was "lightning years" ahead of Obama in trying to bring God's peace to all who bleed the SAME COLOR blood together!!! I love ya Ray! People; can't you see just how EASY it is to get along. We ALL have some likes and dislikes that coincide.. It's such a sinful shame that J & K have let pass such an awesome opportunity! Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight folks! I, for one am an optimist! God bless and take care...
"GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!" Please send us music like that today. And they all had their clothes ON!!!! That's singing , singing and singing. The musicians read music. How great was that.
Why does everyone always feel the need to state their age or say how crap music today is. Not all the music today is crap just like not all the music back then was great. It depends on what and whom you listen to. It also depends on your musical tastes. And being "13 and listening to old music" has nothing to do with how cool you are for listening, it just means you like music. I'd just like to go to a comment section of an older song and see people appreciating the song rather than generalizing all current songs or seeking praise for listening to a song. Good music is good music. That's all there is to it.
I totally agree with you, by the same token; a big difference is in the fact that back then they didn't have the equipment that is available today............
Autumn Cymone Sorry the sad state of the culture, music and entertainment is fact whether or not you want to believe it. Jazz, blues and soul to gangsta rap. Classic country to the pap they play now. Taylor Swift? GMAFB. You can't have a movie without some over the top special effects or a PC liberal plot line. You can't be a comedian without dropping F bombs every other word. I could go on but it won't make any difference to you. Yes good music is good music but there is precious little of it today being made today.
In 1969, I asked to go to see the opening of 2001 A Space Odyssey for my 13th birthday. My Mother loved Ray Charles and told me if I went to see him @ the Pgf Civic Arena with her, she would take me. My father did not want to go. We were def in the minority…What a SHOW! Changed my taste in music forever. "Tell me what I SAY"!
Прошло пол века , а у меня эмоции и действия как у его современников... Слушаю в наушниках и отплясываю как ребенок.. очень крутой мен... вот что можно считать классикой- т.е. бессмертным ... всем хорошего настроения.
+Trevor Morgan .........Please expand, why? Autism is a worse problem than ISIS and global warming combined. 1 out of every 68 babes get autism now. I think it may be due to genetically modified food or vaccines. The government is purposely poisoning us with food--they want us to die early due to population control. Read the book "Wheat Belly" (also many clips on TH-cam), where the wheat is corrupted nowadays. I quit eating wheat 3 months ago and I have so much more energy.
Autism creates some of the smartest people. I consider it a gift that unfortunately is buried by the people that don't understand, or have the will, too teach us the right way. I don't think autism should ever be compared to ISIS, ever. These idiots choose to do stupid shit. Autistic people are born the way they are. I'm not really buying into anything that says autism can be cured or caused after one is born. My brothers and my sister all ate the exact same food and had the same shots I did growing up. I'm the only one that has autism.
+Stephen Fiore i think its partially due to parents who decide to have children at an older age. Mutations accumulate daily as a male regenerates genetic material. Food and vaccines are very unlikely factors. Its a spectrum disorder so it varies greatly. It can create something fascinating, and is not always horrible. I wouldn't compare it to terrorists and the degradation of our earth
My autistic brother used to dance when he was little... I don't know if he still does, but I doubt it. And if so, he does it secretly :) but he copes way better with people and change since he got into philosophy ^^

Ray charles robinson, is not only an inspiration or one of a kind person, God gifted musician, but also a man who helped save my life. May he rest in peace and his music be heard for lifetimes.
Ray Charles came to Brazil for the first time in 1963. Charles revealed that he had received an offer from 12,000 Brazilians who wanted to donate his eyes. "I was born to suffer and suffer a lot, I don't deserve this great happiness, that of being able to see", he declared this is the live performance in São Paulo, on the extinct TV Excelsior, on September 19, where he performed 2 shows.
This Song holds a very important part in Music for it was one of the first R & B Songs to cross over to the Pop Singles Chart. He performed this at The Apollo in 1959 whose opening act was The Miracles who bombed at their debut even though he helped them. He influenced so many people many of them would be superstars in their own right. Olivia Newton-John, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney were some of his biggest fans. Even over The Years his name was mentioned in Books like Original Sins, Acts of Faith and even The Book Version of Grease.
im 33 and my and the generation after mine have no choice but to like this. Everything we have hasn't and probably never will amount to shit. Just sayin
Un día le tome un disco long playa de acetato de mi padre lo coloque en esos tocadiscos de mueble ,y era este tema ray charles,fue mi comienzo con la musica corria el año el 1971 con 6 años y desde ese día que escucho todo lo que puedo
Everything Ray touches swing, just like that! It is incredible, and his timing is so perfect. Yeah i know he wore his drummers Down because he was to slow, but he was not! He was simply a genious!

Thanks! Wonderful history
it makes wake up and move each of smaallest bones
Thank you. Glad we have You tube and the internet so that we can see and enjoy these gems! we can stop to smell the roses over and over again.
This man was free styling before there was a term called FREESTYLE the man was a musical genius 🙂
I know what you mean but there is a term for it in jazz and blues. Improvise
Genius, wasn't that his nickname?
The first time he played this song was because he was playing for a club and ran out of material, so he improvised this entire song. The crowd was so into it he just kept playing. Amazing
Wow! Never knew that!
The movie got that part correct.
Awesome song , by a Awesome musician
That is simply…a genius move. Only those talented enough “can just RUN with it”
Great tune 👌
Poor.Black.Blind and growing up in the deep south USA in the 40's. I am not complaining about my life ever again.
He played a bad hand about as well anybody ever did.
Right on ✊🏿you aient lying! Ray # 1 hands down❗💯🎯👍👑❤
I think Ray Charles is one of the few performers who is better live than in a studio. His live recordings have so much energy.
+Anthony Enea He made more money in live concerts later in his career, and not so much in recordings.
+Anthony Enea i think the best music come from live performances and a true measure of talent
very well orchestrated
Ray is a bad ass
Justin Ping yes
One of the coolest piano riffs ever.
His voice, his energy, his piano playing is incredible
This recording is 50 years old. jeeeeeez
Ray Charles was one cool cat...no one better..no one had more soul and talent than brother Ray...one of God's gifts to us...Thank you Lord.
Fun fact! This came to rays head during a live performance.
@Skrill Dilly not everyone did. And the fact is really interesting. They made him play more so he came up with this song and there are a lot of other songs he made and recorded from the first time.
Oh my god...Why I wasn't born at that time too see him live in my crazy and wonderful hometown, Sao Paulo - Brazil?!!!!!?!
The "paulistas" (as it's called who was born in Sao Paulo) really love the american black music, whether it be the Jazz, Blues, R&B, Funk, Soul etc
Esta canción empezó todo un género musical. El Soul, mi genero favorito ❤
And just think: He's playing this blind. Even the most trained highly practiced concert pianists look at their keyboard when they play. This guy never could. Can you imagine the hours he must have practiced to know the right position of every key? To be able by slight touch instantly know where each one is.
A true musician. :)
Ronnie Milsap could too.
I can play this and I find that looking down at keyboard is distracting. You gotta FEEL this grove!!😀
Concert pianists play songs significantly harder than this. These soul/blues songs have very repetitive patterns which make it easier to play. Over time, muscle memory will make it easy for him to play the songs. Impressive, nonetheless.
My sentiments exactly. Play piano and after 50 +years I still have to find Mid C first. Rat C is awesome.
That song has tons and tons of soul and energy in it. Excellent work Ray.
This is the greatest rock and roll song ever --- the genius of Ray Charles will live forever
YES!
50 years later... I am watching this video in TH-cam
Telesforo Jimeno, 54 and go on
On*
On*
56
@Raymundo11 I think he meant he saw him do it live and now he's watching it on TH-cam lol
There will never be another. Music has changed. This is true talent.
Isn't he the greatest ever?
!!!
No. Why? Because you said 'isn't (which means is NOT). Now had you said, 'is he...?' then my response would be 'YES!'
@@malcumx5933 isn't he can be construed as is he not. You taking it to mean he is not is stupid and pedantic.
Best version
I saw him live in '91 when I was 20. He's definitely in my top 3.
Well, this is brilliant! -But my heart soars to see all the horns playing “auxiliary percussion”!
Whatever the future holds, I live in a time where I get to see this!
Ray Charles was one hell of a man and one hell of a musician and God bless him
The One and Only - there will never be another. Thank You God.
Ray was one of our all-time best!
This man is the reason I learned guitar without looking as much as possible...in case I went blind....turns out I never look...I listen...is better.
I got introduced to ray Charles because of the movie ray and to the people who haven't seen it,it is a great movie
Ray Charles wasn't just a musician, he was an icon, inspiration and a legend who will live forever through his music.
watching blues bros yesterday,Ray was proudly hanging up a Blues Brothers Poster...upside down :)
Although this song itself may not be technically very complex or anything, the thought that he actually "wrote" it by ad-libbing it live on stage in front of a paying audience is just mind blowing. Not just the talent, just think of the guts it would take to do something like that. Absolutely Amazing.
This song is killer, probably my favorite song
This is classic blues you Jack ass . Very hard to play
@@adrianveseli3379 and spesking of Killer, aka Jerry Lee Lewis you should give his version a listen. Will also blow you away. Between his 3 on sun theres m as ny live versions he did at his shows
Wow!!! I'm speechless... this song is the very soul of blues music. An orchestra, some backup singers, a feverish tempo, and the leading voice of Ray singing a very basic score and you have, like, the very best song ever written!!
this hit my soul, so much power in that voice of his Mr. Ray Charles R.I.P Legend!
God bless Ray Charles! He not only wrote TIMELESS music, but he was "lightning years" ahead of Obama in trying to bring God's peace to all who bleed the SAME COLOR blood together!!! I love ya Ray!
People; can't you see just how EASY it is to get along. We ALL have some likes and dislikes that coincide.. It's such a sinful shame that J & K have let pass such an awesome opportunity!
Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight folks! I, for one am an optimist!
God bless and take care...
after seeing ray the movie fall more in love with ray charles music.
40th anniversary of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, December 16.
Yaaaaaaassssssssss!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every band member HAD to best in the business! Ray didn’t miss a thing.
My favorite Ray Charles song of all! So great
The Greatest! To me, It’s Ray and Aretha!
Damn this is real music man.
My favourite song when I was young❤️
RAY CHARLES UN GENIO
i like this song as my parents played it on 45 record in the 1960s as i was kid and now i like this song 2011 in CD
If I had to pick the greatest singer I've ever heard it's that blind guy at the piano.
Stevie wonder?
Band doesn’t sweat ✊🏾
"GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!" Please send us music like that today. And they all had their clothes ON!!!! That's singing , singing and singing. The musicians read music. How great was that.
it's not a brilliant tallent. It's a pure genius. That's the pure genius.
It's rare, but you know it when you see it. He's the epitome of "cool," the way his performance seems effortless. So glad to have seen him in person.
One if my favorite songs by this talented man few nowadays can say that
très bien joué par le géni ray charles
Looks like he’s not even trying. And yet this so good. Amazing! 👍🏾

I'm 74 (I beg your pardon), and I assume this is THE MUSIC.
Sorry. I'm 30. May be old by some standards but most music today is pure SHIT. The same was true in the 80s and 90s.
Joshua Daniel You just have to look hard enough. (I recommend you listen to early The Black keys and Gary Clark Jr.)
Autumn Cymone Sorry the sad state of the culture, music and entertainment is fact whether or not you want to believe it. Jazz, blues and soul to gangsta rap. Classic country to the pap they play now.

just amazing ...
One of the greatest talents to ever grace this world. Thank you Ray
Truly amazing....FUNKY as !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray Charles is one of the best entertainers...
He is just so wonderful, I love him!
Been getting into the groove for over a month now. Can't stop it! It's like a good itch that won't go away. I love it!!
it's like getting a tattoo an itch you just can't scratch
No joke! His music is definitely "groovy." Been groovin' to it since 1960!
Far out
The junk itch? Lol 😆
I do not believe that ten users do not like this excellent presentation!!!
The man
In 1969, I asked to go to see the opening of 2001 A Space Odyssey for my 13th birthday. My Mother loved Ray Charles and told me if I went to see him @ the Pgf Civic Arena with her, she would take me. My father did not want to go. We were def in the minority…What a SHOW! Changed my taste in music forever. "Tell me what I SAY"!
Прошло пол века , а у меня эмоции и действия как у его современников... Слушаю в наушниках и отплясываю как ребенок.. очень крутой мен... вот что можно считать классикой- т.е. бессмертным ... всем хорошего настроения.
Look at the whole band. This is American music...
Ray was indeed one of the best 1950s rock and roll singers
When a piano sound is sexier.
This intro is the definition.
grande Ray !!! questa è la mia musica preferita !!!
Talk about a groove... just amazing.... go Ray!
This is one of the greatest examples of “call and response”
I miss you so much RAY CHARLES.
55 years, and he wasn't even around in my generation. I got hooked in diapers and I'm still bopping to his music
Love it. Am I right there are 4 or maybe even 5 chaps playing tambourine?! Largest tamborine section I've ever seen. 😂
It’s a very tambouriney song.
so nice guy...i love this songs...he is so nice!!!
Makes me move, even though I'm not supposed to. (autistic, lol)

ray charles has been invited to the white house by 7 different presidents 7 different times. has any other entertainer done that.. amazing!!
No one like him.....He is a Classic!
Ray charles robinson, is not only an inspiration or one of a kind person, God gifted musician, but also a man who helped save my life. May he rest in peace and his music be heard for lifetimes.
i like the band. Ray knows these guys. I can feel the soul more then live.
This man makes me so proud to be black ❤
I’m grateful to hear this genius of a man and I’m not black….. Pure talent 👏👏👏👏
Love it sister.
Rien a voir avec la couleur 😂 juste le talent ça suffit !
N’importe quoi ton analyse 😂 ce mec est un génie certes !!!! ❤❤❤❤ quel rapport avec la couleur de peau ??? 😮
If I told you that Frank Sinatra made me so proud to be white, what would you tell me?
This is a cool song
Ray Charles came to Brazil for the first time in 1963. Charles revealed that he had received an offer from 12,000 Brazilians who wanted to donate his eyes. "I was born to suffer and suffer a lot, I don't deserve this great happiness, that of being able to see", he declared this is the live performance in São Paulo, on the extinct TV Excelsior, on September 19, where he performed 2 shows.
Ray Charles es especial, lo admiro, waooo esta canción me hace bailar aunque no quiera, me deleito cada vez que la oigo
This Song holds a very important part in Music for it was one of the first R & B Songs to cross over to the Pop Singles Chart. He performed this at The Apollo in 1959 whose opening act was The Miracles who bombed at their debut even though he helped them.

Wat about them ladies backing you either got soul or not so baby wat i say
Real music
im 33 and my and the generation after mine have no choice but to like this. Everything we have hasn't and probably never will amount to shit. Just sayin
He was as good as it gets
59 years later im watching this video
Math is not your sting suit huh? This is '63
Thanks Ray
History being made.
2016 you still rock ray
The 60s was the best decade for music lovers from all ends of the world.
Nope that was the 1700's
The 80 surpassed them
My respects to this man
This music share really American spirit
enrique barnadas
that is true but not at all. It's over te world. Genius has roots but has no borders.
Or every positive spirit. No borders there man.
0 dislikes ! I Love Ray ...
I discovered it in 1972 in France. I was ten. Since this day Ray is the absolute genius for ever according to me.
The best song of all times.
Un día le tome un disco long playa de acetato de mi padre lo coloque en esos tocadiscos de mueble ,y era este tema ray charles,fue mi comienzo con la musica corria el año el 1971 con 6 años y desde ese día que escucho todo lo que puedo
Ray the great....love the upload!!!
Everything Ray touches swing, just like that! It is incredible, and his timing is so perfect. Yeah i know he wore
his drummers Down because he was to slow, but he was not! He was simply a genious!
