Ray Charles fucks me off in the name of Jackie Robinson, and Stevie Wonder fucks me off in the name of Willie Mays. Now I will say this, because you cannot play real baseball blind, and yes it is an absolute fact that you need eyesight to play real baseball!
If I had a nickel for every blind, male, African-American pianist with a long career, who was extremely influential to music, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
oldsoul This shall surely mean, Gentleman, that there is no need for people to see each-other in order for them to be connected, be it in music or in marriage, or anywhere else. I hope that my reply, (since it comes from a blind person), will help you kill some prejudices. Best!☺️ Best!☺️ .
The great thing about these two gentlemen, apart from the obvious, is that they both look so fucking HAPPY while doing what they're doing that you can't help but be equally happy watching them.
+BrokenWolf1990 The power of music.. Strikes you in ways that nothing else can ! I hope we'll have the chance to see more creative talents like these in the future
ME. Ray Charles (With respect to Stevie Wonder), B.B. King, Louis Armstrong and Janis Joplin are my favorite TOP-tied Vocalists in Blues/Funk-progressive.
The transition at around 1:10, from R Charles to S Wonder: change of tonality, SW's voice and that funky/disco synth, SW clapping, RC throwing 'Alright, alright son!'; I have during these few seconds what I'd call an eargasm!
I think the reference was to the hardships of black people in this country throughout its history. That's where the blues were born. I'm white, but can still relate, having been poor and growing up in the projects. Rap is mostly angry 😡 and I get why, but songs about keeping your head up and doing the best you can is why you can "feel" these songs. I grew up on the blues, as well as many other genras. I don't think anyone could listen to this and not feel inspired!
@Geoffrey Lane The blues speak the truth in a way that you feel deep in your bones. You don't have to be black to get it, poor folks has had to cope and get past stereotypes too. However, it is mostly black musicians that can pull you into blues and soul music that helps you to understand that you're not alone in your struggles. You don't have to degrade women and brag about bling etc., to prove you matter. Just sing from the ❤️!!

If you ask me RAY is the pure R&B act here, STEVIE is the soul genius like no other! They both together? Nuclear explosion times ten! STEVIE and RAY have (had) the same way like me when one look at life....we are blessed, so why not live life to its fullest no matter!
Well, it don't get much better than this! Stevie's gritty funk about the tragedy of alienated urban life, given a most gritty, funky interpretation by the legend of soul, Ray Charles. Joined in duet by,,,,,, Mr Wonder himself. These guys breathe virtuosity, total mastery of their overlapping, but unique idioms. And here they are together, complimenting and acting as foils for each other. Outstanding music, sharp social commentary, solid funk armed with piercing poetry, Ray's rough, throaty grunts and growls contrasting with Stevie's ringing head tones. A musical extravagance.
I am an atheist. But... Damn'it. a god should exist. This performance cannot be casual. It's impossible. These monsters of the MUSIC make the angels stop flying. Sir, thanks. Really thanks so much for uploading this Jewel.
TWO guys who love playing, JOY and joy, to walk to school shes got to get up early, her clothes are old but never are they dirty......fuckin life is hard, i had a but but gotta love this guys recognition....of it all.
Both amazingly larger than life talents, but something about Stevie's voice that sets him apart. Like MJ, his voice invokes so much emotion. RIP Ray Charles
Both true. But I'd say changing the quality of the music is easier, because the problem is there's too many distractions nowadays. Getting rid of distractions is something an individual can do on his own. The music execs is a bigger problem, as it takes more than one to solve it. As Zappa said in the 80s(!), the execs in charge up until the 70s had an attitude of "I don't know what the kids listen to, sign 'em, if it works it works!", while from then up to today the execs feel much too hip, they think they know exactly what's good(plus they want predictability - don't forget record labels are owned by Wall St)
Yeah, and the best thing is that he was performing in this way all his life. I don't like watching others artists live performances, but Ray's. He's so live, even if you're watching him in TH-cam. Love You, Ray!
Two blind men that saw more of the world within themselves than any other. This is peerless talent.
Beautifully said!
@@taydafranklin7800 agreed
Stevie is only legally blind btw
STEVIE WAS BORN AND STILL IS TOTALLY SIGHTLESS. STOP BELIEVING STUPID RUMORS.
AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE . 🙏 AMEN.
two friends that have never seen each other...
😀
Hahaha
TobiasSebastien ooh they had seen each other deeper than most
Hahahahahahahaha
Ha ha - yes sir.
You can hear in Ray Charles voice how proud he is of Stevie Wonder
Ray Charles fucks me off in the name of Jackie Robinson, and Stevie Wonder fucks me off in the name of Willie Mays. Now I will say this, because you cannot play real baseball blind, and yes it is an absolute fact that you need eyesight to play real baseball!
@@rogerhackler223 tf?
Tears of joy
I thought the same thing!!!!!!
How lucky were we to have these two men overlap in our lifetime.
Great and pondering comment.
veneziablau Ray Charles discovered him tho
@@magiccookies420 no Ronnie white of the Miracles did
Yessss!!!!!
If I had a nickel for every blind, male, African-American pianist with a long career, who was extremely influential to music, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
While singing in a duet, no one else other than Ray Charles would dare calling Stevie Wonder "son"...
James Brown maybe
James brown and Ray have that power and seniority over him that's why he called him son
Facts!
Only Ray Charles can call Stevie Wonder "son" Nobody else
@@TheJoppemin Yeah, dad always, but we're talking about music. ))
This is the ultimate blind date
Bro you made my day :v
OK. THAT was FUNNY!
Good one!🤣
Just proved you're deaf blind and dumb!
Can't even be mad... That was funny. If Ray and Stevie had a sense of humor I know they couldn't help but to laugh either
It's like having Mozart and Beethoven in the same room performing
I found this by accident AND im soo glad i did
alan duce mee to 💯💯I love it
Same
Same here, two titans of music meeting to create something beautiful.
I'm glad you did too cuz I just barely heard Ray Charles version for the first time and I am blown away
Same
They can't see each other but connected & flowed so flawlessly
oldsoul they don't see color
this shows why and why,,,like ebony and ivory.. rly,ppl dont give a fuck,if ur good person,but shit happens if u get these bombs everyday...
and enough get shit in ur face,,,things happens.. there is so much growing in every person
oldsoul This shall surely mean, Gentleman, that there is no need for people to see each-other in order for them to be connected, be it in music or in marriage, or anywhere else. I hope that my reply, (since it comes from a blind person), will help you kill some prejudices.
Best!☺️
Best!☺️ .
Damn! Ray started singing... and I started smiling! You can't help it!
Music so fine!
Absolutely the same for me
Same here!
Ray was already doing a great job by himself and then Stevie came in half way and absolutely killed it!
It was like Ray gave him a spring board and Stevie did some crazy aerial thing.
Beautiful.
Third verse Stevie Wonder is incredible
It's Stevie's song.
@@Sam-ub2vu that’s what I’m saying 🤦🏿♂️
one of the best duets in music history
ks10308 yess! With pavarotti and james brown. Its a mens worls maybe

*the best is ELVIS and frank sinatra you stupid idiot*
@@VIIDEOSVIRALES he said one of them

3:33 is my favourite moment... Stevie with vocals so great that Ray almost falls off his chair in pure joy
Stevie Wonder is incredible on 3rd verse
Yaawww myaaww
There will absolutely never be another Stevie Wonder....
And there won't be another Ray Charles.
Stevie Wonder is best of the best
Genius! I just do not have the words..
The most talented musician/singer/songwriter EVER
@@leet2089 yeah the best ever singers on the Galaxy
Or Ray Charles even if Jamie Foxx can do a great impression of him
Performance of two super human musicians. No words can explain.
Precisely
So you can just poke your eyes to be super human
This video deserves a billion likes
Imagine if they had just taken the time to make an album together. What could have been...
Who else wished B.B. King was there as well?
ME.
Ray Charles (With respect to Stevie Wonder), B.B. King, Louis Armstrong and Janis Joplin are my favorite TOP-tied Vocalists in Blues/Funk-progressive.
You're damn right +Claymann71!
The stage would have collapsed under the awesomeness
Fernando Marinho have BB kings Riffs along the melody
No
The transition at around 1:10, from R Charles to S Wonder: change of tonality, SW's voice and that funky/disco synth, SW clapping, RC throwing 'Alright, alright son!'; I have during these few seconds what I'd call an eargasm!
hahaha same!
Great!!
From d minor to f# major is an absurd transition that only genius like these could manage
ray dying laughing is my favorite moment
He had an outrageous sense of humour. He's hilarious in The Blues Brothers! Stevie is the same, a ebullient soul.
At 3:07 it sounds like Ray was so overcome by the music that he was about to say "oh shit" but caught himself in the last moment
I didn't realized that so cool
😏🤣😂😎
This is a part of the history they don't want the children of today to know. A history that could open their minds, set them free.
Yes I agree with you 100%, it seems like now we don't have those days anymore that was true music back then

This comment sent chills down my fucking spine.
This duet is legendary
Two blind geniuses
RIP Ray Charles
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder are 2 of the greatest singers this world will ever recieve. And to have them both on stage together is incredible.
anyone else find it kind of ironic the way these two legends met, but never actually saw each other?
Joe Carney i SEE what you mean
Joey Two Eyes Carney yeah I SAW that
They must of given there eye sight for talent or sum shit lol
Wow! You are so astute, bro! You mean, blind people cannot see? That was so cute to point out! Say, can you see with those women’s sunglasses?
Yall are fucking nuts lmao 🤣
This is tight. I just wish they would make the Stevie Wonder movie before he dies.
RIFICA777 yea I'm sure he wants to see it
Inspector711 banter
Inspector711 they had audio description headphones at the movies. ( from a visually impaired person )
Much deserved
RIFICA777 there’s already one
They are both blind. Yet they connected with each other. You could see and feel it! Make no doubt it... this was a once in a century performance.

Because now a days it's just a bunch of washed up hasbeens
Yes sista. Too much distraction right now. so we can't found pureness of soul.
The epitome of geniuses. Masterclass is insuficient to discribe them both. Bigups 🤜🏽🤛🏾 from Ja.🇯🇲. Especially during this curfew and lockdown.
That look at the end from Stevie. "Damn, that old-man still has it."
Proof that making music doesn't need to have your senses. It needs from you to have heart. A warmth one, preferably.
Now I know I can die in peace.
Merry Christmas 2019...do you still alive?
U still alive g?
Yes! Two geniuses on one stage
Are you still alive?
Love them both but I can watch Ray all day. The music just gets all in him
Ray Charles was a genius, cause he was unpredictable, he always comes up with something new and different , he was a Showman R.I.P
Best blind date ever!
"Nice to see you, Ray" "Nice to see you too, Stevie" Bad joke....
Great musicians! I love the way Stevie feels the music and transmit it.
My ears feel blessed now.
Two Music ICONS, make the modern acts look farcical. GENIUS X2
Blessed to have sat in 6th
row to Stevie. It was a once in a lifetime thang. Amazing. Perfection.
Two of the biggest musicians of all times together at last!
I love how Ray be dying laughing when Stevie did the robot sound ... he looked like he was having a blast 😂
Ray looked like a proud a proud father straight from his heart
Never knew this existed. That key change is fucking great...
How blessed we are to have the ability to witness such a tremendous performance via internet
YES YES YES!!!
Whole performance is amazing, but when that Stevie groove comes in!!! Wow!! Funky!
Ray Charles was Steve wonders inspiration growing up,one of his first albums was a tribute to uncle ray
Icons......classic legends.....I'm 71, and I was in the kitchen gettin' down.....bumpin' & grindin' yeooooowwww ;)
To be able to outperform everyone in their league while being blind is inhuman. These men were gods of music. Undescribable talent
Ray Charles was just phenomenal.. and Stevie always makes my soul smile.
Man those people in that show must feel very lucky witnessing something such historical as this duet!
Every time I view this, it is like watching for the first time. Amazing.
Holy shit... How have I just seen this just now??! OUTSTANDING.
Dynamic Duo. What a collaboration. Absolutely love them both! RC and SW are in a league of their own. 🌟🌟
What a beautiful time to be alive for now.

2 geniuses. What a treat. Love you guys.
Gods on stage O__O . I want really know who are the 16 deaf people that don't like this performance
they may be blind and missed the like button..
Music is subjective.
you want to know who they are? We don't...
Two of the best voices/musicians in history without a doubt!
Who knew the blind leading the blind could be this funky!
Oh my god Ray, i have never seen someone been THAT HAPPY while perfoming, true artist !
Yeah, and the best thing is that he was performing in this way all his life. I don't like watching others artists live performances, but Ray's. He's so live, even if you're watching him in TH-cam.
Love You, Ray!
