True Story: about 10 or 11 years ago, my 4yo daughter and I were getting on a plane and there was Ray Charles in first class with all of his people around him. I conjured up the courage to say "Hi Mr. Charles, good to meet you, this is my daughter Alexis." He goes, well, she is just the prettiest little girl I have ever SEEN." The whole airplane erupted with laughter. My daughter innocently asked me why everyone was laughing, she didn't know he was blind. He made time for common people.
@@TankTJames It always comes up at family events. I did in fact ask for his autograph, but his manager I am guessing, said when we get off the play he will sign for you. But since I was in the cheap seats, they got off the plane well before we did. Didn’t matter, like you said, we cherish the memory and Ray was such a sweetheart.
I love how he sounds as if he were still 20 years old. That's a VOICE, ladies and gentlemen. And that sexy flavor he always added to his songs...wow!!!
I love how Ray is like 69 yrs old in this performance in 2000.. Still was playing for himself and holding his own! And still sounded great! There will never be another man.. Never!
I saw him a couple of times back in the 1970s. What's striking in viewing this performance is that he never lost his edge..that supreme energy that he possessed. He was a unique and great talent..one of a kind.
How lucky was I to see him with the same formation in a private concert given in gala dinner for a watch brand in Genevain 2002, and passed 3 days with the same band! The godfather!
In my opinion when it comes to jazz and blues,remember all old Charles.The man who mounted their unusual performance at the heart of all these areas of music lovers as the best performer all times and peoples.Thank you,Charles for what you were.Thou shalt always remain in our hearts!
although I had never heard this song, a snippet had been playing over and over in my brain. don't know where i heard the snippet, but I came up with the title and voila here it is. wonder why i had to listen to it, the meaning will probably come to me later. this is a fantastic song.
Whoever BBxTerra is shut ur mudda fuckin mouth,find the darkest corner u can possibly find, crawl in it, don't make a sound, n listen 2 the best blues u, with your feeble mind, will ever listen 2!!! I know who Ray Charles is, but nobody knows how the fuck BBxTerra is n honestly nobody really gives a fuck who u r!! Ur STUPID, SHUT UP N LISTEN, FOOL!!!
Brilliant at 70 years old here! Not hard to see why he is the High Priest. The sort of genius that comes around once in a lifetime. Warms my heart to see the younger brothers and sisters here who love Ray as much as I do. If you can't dig Ray, you DO have a problem.
doesn't matter what age, if music touches your heart, it's eternal. i'm just sad i could never see this man play his music. A true loss to the world. R.I.P ray
I have always appreciated ray for being a brilliant singer, songwriter, musician and businessman. But after seeing the movie "Ray", I am in awe of his strength to commit to a lifelong struggle to fight his inner demons. He had the strength of ten men. I used to make the teens at a drug rehab where I worked, watch this movie (much to the dismay of the professional staff of therapist). There were alot of life lessons in that movie, any struggle can be overcome. See you when I get there Ray.
Just the most incredible, inspirational and truly amazing musician of his generation... The word legend is overused, but this man is certainly worthy of that title. Rest In Peace,
Ray Charles until the last moment of his life was a true artist, his voice never changed, thank God, wherever God has you...rest in peace.. we miss you!!!!!!
you can see, he rly puts his soul in the music, even if at some points it slightly off, i feel the goosebumps everytime this man opens his mouth, what a legend, lets hope the world brings us more of these, Ray Charles you are the BEST!
A co worker of mine heard my dubstep playing from my phone today, and started complaining that electronic sound destroyed music and that he missed the pure sound of classics like ray charles... pointed to him to this song and made him vibe out to the first part for like 5 mins straight
if anyone saw a movie about this artist they would agree with me that when he has to walk or anything else its like hes been blind for a few weeks and is new at this (kinda scared of fast etc.) but when he plays...it seems he gets his sight back and not only that it seems he can fly faster than birds, swim faster than fish, go faster than a train. Wonderfull music and a magnificient person. Escuse me if i did any grammar mistakes or something.
I'm not saying anyone is 'better' than anyone else. Music is not a competition. Sampling is an art, it requires as much dedication, hard work and understanding of music as any other instrument. Music Production is an art. This is the 21st century, it would be nice if people could love music of all genre's and ages, with enough research and understanding of an Artist you can make an informed decision whether or not they deserve the recognition they receive. Most of the time you can just hear it.
He Is A Legand, He Is The Best Piano/Singer Ever Known To Man And He's Blind, I Came Here From Chiddy Bang's Ray Charles Song And He Has An Awsome Song About Him!

It don't get no better than this......... Period.
The great Ray Charles. Man this guys knows how to swing ! A huge influence on many musos, amongst them, the brilliant Steve Winwood !
Got to love musicians that you can just see they absolutely love what they do not the money they receive for doing it.
In my opinion when it comes to jazz and blues,remember all old Charles.The man who mounted their unusual performance at the heart of all these areas of music lovers as the best performer all times and peoples.Thank you,Charles for what you were.Thou shalt always remain in our hearts!
people that play piano are intelligent people.
Can't get enough from this legend, thanks to him I keep the ''old better times'' in my mind every time I hear his music. RIP Ray we love you
Genius and talented !! Ray charles was just amazing and just listen to him is a pleasure !!
OMG cant believe there are 36 ppl thatdont know abouy music. This guy is an Icon 1000 times better than all the new artists from today
Ray was way before his time. EXCELLENCE with STYLE
Proudly, I had the opportunity to see his live performance. R.I.P. Great Man
großartig - unvergleichlich - federleicht kommt es daher und nimmt doch so kraftvoll an die Hand - zieht in andere Welten.
First concert I ever saw - county kid came into the big city, Tulsa - I was about 13! Earth-shattering!
Ray is one bad ass dude....
Agreed....He is one bad ass dude
wow such a legend, cudnt fathom the opportunity to have watched him live... he was 1 of my father's growing up lol used to luv his music!!
Superbe moment d'écoute...
Immense, tu recules même, tellement grand et unique.
although I had never heard this song, a snippet had been playing over and over in my brain. don't know where i heard the snippet, but I came up with the title and voila here it is. wonder why i had to listen to it, the meaning will probably come to me later. this is a fantastic song.
Inoubliable Ray Charles! Felejthetetlen Ray Charles!
Wow that's sad.... seeing him so old barely able to do concerts. Just shows how dedicated he was to his fans.
what are you trying to say? he absolutely nailed this performance
The struggles you see on his face are not him not being able to do concerts but feeling the emotions, the music. Get you shit straight
Whoever BBxTerra is shut ur mudda fuckin mouth,find the darkest corner u can possibly find, crawl in it, don't make a sound, n listen 2 the best blues u, with your feeble mind, will ever listen 2!!! I know who Ray Charles is, but nobody knows how the fuck BBxTerra is n honestly nobody really gives a fuck who u r!! Ur STUPID, SHUT UP N LISTEN, FOOL!!!

Wonderful performance. This man deserves respect worldwide for all his contributions for the music. This 91 people are so wrong!
2014.. and I still listen to this :D thumbs up for Ray Charles
I'm very fortunate to have seen Ray Charles twice in concert, he is a hero
Being black and from detroit this was hidden in my childhood because ray was considered country! Thanks motown for making me miss classics like this!
One of the few musicians who is both true to his art and universally loved. Hats off to you, Ray Charles. Rest in peace.
Year 2000 so that makes him 70 when he performed this.....amazing. He had rhythm & soul flowing through his whole existence.
R.I.P 15 years old and i'm in love with this masterpiece
doesn't matter what age, if music touches your heart, it's eternal. i'm just sad i could never see this man play his music. A true loss to the world. R.I.P ray
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Magnique! Divin! Merveilleux!!! LOVE
Do you feel that?
That's what real music feels like. Something today's artists have forgotten about...
I don't think anyone had any more mojo and style than this guy right here.. Pure class
That look on his face through the whole song is awesome - just pure joy
The true definition of Old is Gold, R.I.P Ray Charles, my favourite is Hit The Road Jack.
first time ive ever heard this song, wish I was born when music was getting good! this is amazing!
I have always appreciated ray for being a brilliant singer, songwriter, musician and businessman. But after seeing the movie "Ray", I am in awe of his strength to commit to a lifelong struggle to fight his inner demons. He had the strength of ten men.
I used to make the teens at a drug rehab where I worked, watch this movie (much to the dismay of the professional staff of therapist).
There were alot of life lessons in that movie, any struggle can be overcome.
See you when I get there Ray.
I saw Ray at the Olympia. In 1967. Billy Preston was part of his review.
you lucky son of a bitch
ray charles is amazing!! RIP Ray, wish you were still around to teach rappers what music is supposed to sound like.
R.I.P Mr. Charles. your music has moved me like no one else's
Who can do this? I am in awe. I am so proud Georgia can claim him.
Love Legend, Ray Charles. The most remarkable talented musical master of blues magic.
Just the most incredible, inspirational and truly amazing musician of his generation... The word legend is overused, but this man is certainly worthy of that title. Rest In Peace,
How is it possible to dislike this? There should be no dislike button on this video.
one of the greatest.the very best entertainer everand you are right.people make comments and have no idea the talent this man had
R.I.P. Tom Fowler. Incredibly underrated and monstrously talented bass player!
Ray Charles until the last moment of his life was a true artist, his voice never changed, thank God, wherever God has you...rest in peace.. we miss you!!!!!!
This is one of my favourite covers of Gold Digger, definitely.
He's so damn happy there...
A true music loving gentleman.
Big respect to this sir!
Something about Ray's music makes me want to rock my head side to side like Ray always does.
Ray, I love you!!! =)
Como demorei para achar esse bendito show!
Man is a legend ... God I miss the good old swing music .. and im only 27!
you can see, he rly puts his soul in the music, even if at some points it slightly off, i feel the goosebumps everytime this man opens his mouth, what a legend, lets hope the world brings us more of these, Ray Charles you are the BEST!
Its never off with ray charles, hes always sings a song differently
fogo,esse homem era incrivel. eu nao resisto com a sua forma de tocar e cantar. e era cego. fooogo ray sera sempre rei.
We were lucky enough to get one man with this gIft,I got to see him in a small place about a year before he left us
Ray Charles was a great performer. Love his style of music.
He is amazing and you can't compare him with any other artist!
We miss you :( I wish I was born before in the 50's !!
I always say that MUSIC is the only language we all speak - dang I love MUSIC!!!!

How can he be soooo great, man! Amazing performance! Genius!
im 15 and Ray charles is one of my musical idles !!!!
This man is a musical genious, Ray, you're simply the best and will always be.
A co worker of mine heard my dubstep playing from my phone today, and started complaining that electronic sound destroyed music and that he missed the pure sound of classics like ray charles... pointed to him to this song and made him vibe out to the first part for like 5 mins straight
Gosh damn, what a champ. he mastered every section of the electric keyboard.
It truly is amazing that you can go on almost any video on youtube and they're just beiber comments.....
if anyone saw a movie about this artist they would agree with me that when he has to walk or anything else its like hes been blind for a few weeks and is new at this (kinda scared of fast etc.) but when he plays...it seems he gets his sight back and not only that it seems he can fly faster than birds, swim faster than fish, go faster than a train.
Wonderfull music and a magnificient person.
Escuse me if i did any grammar mistakes or something.
This isnt "I've got a woman" .... THIS IS "baby please dont go" at the start at least ^^ ray charles robinson ... you are my GOD
God bless Ray charles he was great and his music still lives in our hearts
I'm not saying anyone is 'better' than anyone else. Music is not a competition.
