Ray perhaps had the most amazing timing of any musician ever. he never sang a song the same way twice, but he was never even close to being out of the pocket. he was just mind bogglingly talented. the most influential singer in American history.
I was lucky enough to have been at Willie Nelson's 70th birthday concert. It was an amazing lineup of guests and was recorded for a tv special. Ray Charles performed Georgia and made most of the audience cry. As soon as he finished they came out and said there was an issue with the recording gear and they needed him to do it again... to which the crowd cheered! His 2nd take was just as beautiful and emotional as his first and moved me just as much. I am so grateful to have seen him perform live, even close to the end of his life, his voice was still strong and nuanced, he packs more emotion into a single word than most singers get into an entire verse.
FYI, check out this video from the same concert. It's Willie, Ray Charles, and Leon Russel another absolute legend we lost doing "A Song For You." It's incredible watching these three brilliant musicians do this together and I was lucky enough to be there. th-cam.com/video/2UW4ELmVD9M/w-d-xo.html
Please react to more Ray Charles. He is the greatest musician to have ever lived and it's a shame more people aren't talking about him
I always so enjoy your reactions and when I saw Ray Charles and Georgia I had to stop and listen. I am 74 years old and was 13 in 1961 when I first heard Ray Charles and it changed my life. I collected all of his albums and even hung the covers on my wall. 6 years ago at our 50th HS reunion, everyone remembered me turning them on to Ray Charles🎶😊‼️ He was so soulful and his voice could just transport you wherever he wanted you to go. Thank you for this✌️🦋
Harriet - I guess that was when I too first heard Ray Charles. I used to have a little transistor radio that I would turn to a particular station (Radio Luxembourg - but all the DJs were British), and one evening I heard this voice singing Hide Nor Hair. I was hooked, absolutely hooked. Later I was to discover all the stuff he'd recorded on Atlantic. Absolute magic. And then right up to this day, hearing him, with Willie Nelson and Leon Russell, singing A Song For You, perhaps the most emotional I've ever felt listening to the great man, given that he had confided to Willie that he had inoperable liver cancer. For me, there was no-one anywhere near him.
That’s a wonderful story
Beth, When Ray Charles sings. The Singing is not just hearing. There's feeling along with it. When a singer can achieve that. It's called Soul.
There is no one color or gender to it. Just the ability through music or song to transcend your Soul to touch another.
I see it happen in your reaction. That's what so special. When Someone like Ray Charles sings.
Rock on.
Ray Charles just oozes soul!
The man is a true legend and is sorely missed.
possibly one of my favorite songs of all time. because of the soul he puts into it
Billy Joel said about Ray’s voice, Its like an old tube amplifier- all warm and full but with one tube about to go out that gives it that crackle. I saw Ray four times, always on point and enthralling. Its living americana right in front of you.
Ray Charles was a amizing singer. Thank you Beth for your reaction on a great song.
One of my absolute favourite songs to play, listen to, and when no one is home with me, sing. Lol totally love your analysis and reaction.
God Bless my homeland. Ray Charles is loved here
Brilliant point. The first word captures listeners and never lets go.
Even though Georgia was never on my mind, this is still my favourite Ray Charles song! Thanks for the treat, Beth!
is your statement pejorative.....if so that indicates a certain narrowness of outlook ......great song, great State (just ask Ray), GREAT performer with impeccable taste .....if you meant no slight......never mind

@@markmclendon8621 Forgive me, didn't know I just pissed off a hotheadead cowboy lol!
You have no clue he wrote this not as an ode to being happy with what was going on in Georgia he was highlighting the struggles segregation etc why do you think the racist didn't want him singing that song in Georgia
People like Ray Charles make me proud to be a Georgian! ❤️❤️
Live in Georgia here..... you can hardly anywhere without hearing this song.
As someone born and raised in Georgia this song will always hold a special place in my heart. My 2nd fav performance by Ray Charles is the duet he did with Willie Nelson for the song Seven Spanish Angels
My favorite song from him is " Ray's blues " so touching. Kudos ❤️✨
Your reactions are absolutely addictive in love with ya keep it up
Good morning Beth and thank You for sharing the experience and your knowledge with us. We here are very fortunate to be gifted with your presence. I hope you have a great day and week ahead, ( if you don't mind. 😁)
The conversation between the man the flute and the low slow sizzle of the drums.... Total feeling connections.
A song that just makes you feel so warm and peaceful
Maybe the best vocal performance, particularly late in his career, was a holiday tune called, "The Spirit of Christmas " It's beautiful.
Have a link? Couldn't find it on Spotify

This was adopted in 1979 as the state song of Georgia. Ray came and sang it at the capitol for the song's induction.
aaah yes! the album version really gets me all the time! the way he performed it and all the arrengements are epic! great song! great singer! he had what we call SOUL in his voice! this song played in a lot of family parties when I was young! just before the end of them, my dad would shove that special tape in the player with all these classic songs , from Sinatra to french old Iconic songs and this was one of them! souvenirs! souvenirs! thankx for that!
Ray remains my favourite singer ever.
Ray Charles is from the State Of Georgia. There is a great mural of him at the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlanta.
You would love Ray's rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Saw him (with full orchestra) bac in the mid 60s. With only a couple of notes played, you could have heard a pin drop in the packed auditorium. It was epic!!

total legend
Ray sings so light but with maybe the deepest soul in it
Beth, Ray has that unique ability to get a dividend out of every nuance of a tone or lyric......Hoagie was a superb writer and graced many a silver screen play a side kick often playing piano in a bar with a featured performance in the movie.....memorable favs....."up the lazy river"...."Stardust"....."Heart and Soul".......
Takes a lot of dope to get to that level of love and adoration for a state such as Georgia.
A great composer too. Thanks Beth!
This performance just destroys the structure of the song - when you have complete mastery of a song you can do anything you want with it, you can lay it limply over the back of a chair, you can hoist it up a flagpole, anything. Ray Charles has this song wrapped around his finger and he can lead it anywhere. Sheer mastery, a real genius. I've heard the song a million times but never heard this performance, he is dragging, poking, flinging - I am blown away how this man can ... mm no words. How he just does what he does. I guarantee you the song sounded so different the next night. Wow wow wow. I hope one day I can be this loose and this precise all at the same time. Gobsmacked as they say elsewhere lol.
i love ray charges when he is digging deep on the song seven spanish angels with willie nelson
I really enjoy your reactions. I would love to see you react to 'you don't know me' by Ray Charles. He conveys so much emotion, while still sounding amazing. I would love to see your take on it.
Beautiful!!!
Yes! That was awesome man this man is gonna be mist
moonlight through the pines
Excelente análisis. Saludos desde Costa Rica
While I'm no vocal coach or teacher but, thats how to sing this song RIGHT !!!!!
Hoagy Carmichael was a very well-know songwriter from the late 20s through the 50s, Other songs he wrote include; Lazy River, Stardust, and In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening. In addition to songwriting he also appeared in such movies as To Have and Have Not with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and the 1946 Best Picture, The Best Years of Our Lives. I attended Indiana University (his alma mater) in the 60s and one of the local restaurants (across the street from the Law School) had a booth labeled as the place where he had sat and written Stardust.
With a lot of singers, such as trained singers, they sing in a a technical manner but, with singers of the calibre of Ray Charles, it just comes naturally...he just feels the lyrics and melody and sings it in a style that comes naturally to him.
Yeah, Beth, Hoagland "Hoagy" Carmichael wrote "Georgia". In addition, he wrote "Stardust" and 50 or so other very well known songs. And Ray Charles' rendition of "Georgia" sets the high bar on this tune. Thanks for reacting to it.
No one can do a slow song like Ray Charles. He used to go through multiple drummers because they could not keep the rhythm to his satisfaction.
Hermoso🔥
I find it interesting in that it seems to my eye the more emotional the song the more variation between takes. Ray Charles varies the delivery quite a bit and it gives one the feeling that it relates to his emotional relation to the music at that moment.
I could be wrong though.
He didn't know it at the time, but Hoagy Carmichael wrote this song for Ray Charles to sing. Others have performed it before and since, but *nobody* owns this song like Ray did.
Lord knows how many people recorded Georgia, but it's Ray's version that stands above them all. I see some people have mentioned other songs, particularly You Don't Know Me, but how about A Fool For You, either the studio recording or the live version on the Ray Charles At Newport album. Now that is my very favourite Ray Charles recording.
Every contestant on a singing competition show who is told, "You need to connect more with the emotion of the song," should listen to Ray Charles. He's just a master of it. I've never heard a performance of his where it didn't sound like every word was coming from the innermost part of his soul...
Roar!
Whatever it is he's got it
Gracias Linda, de algunas melodías uno vuelve como de un viaje, agotado pero más sabio .
Ray Charles on a cold morning is nearly perfect.
The analysis, although superb, cannot catch up to the perfection of the one and only Ray Charles.
Hi Beth. I always enjoy your reviews and vocal experience. I also roar in time with your intro roar. Everytime! Lol. Anyways... Have you ever heard John Mayers "live version" of the Tom Petty classic,"Free Falling?" If not you should definitely give it a listen. It's wonderful.
He has some very experienced backups up there with him that just add so much richness the original completely lacked. Mayer also alters the entire tempo of the song so I suggest listening to Tom's fist then John's live... To fully appreciate the arrangement. So so good!
Hoagie Carmichael was so talented. He was self deprecating about his own voice but I enjoy it. He was in the classic Humphrey Bogart movie "To Have and Have Not" (playing piano and singing in the bar). It's not the quality of his voice but his phrasing that's amazing.
PLEASE react to him sing American The Beautiful
You did pronounce Hoagy Carmichael name correctly. I have learned so much about singing from you.
My Dad was a singer (not a pro, but a talented amateur). He always said that if you didn't put at least a little Ray Charles into a song, you were doing it wrong. Ray was one of those rare singers (Janis had it. Billie Holliday had it. Patsy Cline as well. Van Morrison sometimes) who reach in and grab your heart with something beyond great technique. I have no idea if it can be taught.
You should listen to Richard Manuel and The Band's version of this, the one from Saturday night live is fantastic if you can find it!
......When Ian Fleming was writing his James Bond novels Hoagy Carmichael was Fleming's mental image of 007..
Rudolph Taylor - "Search Your Heart".
Pls Beth react to Randy Crawford with Rainy night in georgia, such a unique voice
First word reaction... agreed. I've always based my opening judgement of every cover of this on how they say, "Georgia". Lol. Ray was truly one of a kind. There is a fellow named Michael Grimm who may impress you with his vocal colorings. You can tell Ray was a big influence for him. Find his version of "You Don't Know Me"
You should do his version of A Song for You. And Leon Russell's live performance who wrote it.
So glad you recognized that he is not "trying" in any technical way to do anything!
You should review Ray Charles “Night and Day”, if for nothing but the featured female vocalist. She was insanely talented.
The only song ever written (along with co-writer Hoagy Carmichael - who were both law students at the time as I recall)......and you were right in your pronunciation in Hoagy's name.
At one time, and maybe still, Hoagy Carmichael was credited with the longest song title in history; "I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with My Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o, Beat-o Flat-On-My-Seat-o, Hirohito Blues".

sounds empowering, but avoid MMA please. We're not ready for that.
even i'm a rock listener and this is not my kind of music RC is a MASTER and this song is fantastic
Ray Charles...one of the greatest of all times. The blues. No need to break it down vocally.
You need to explore Hoagy Carmichael more! Stardust is one of his greatest songs. He also acted in small roles in movies of the 40s.
Hard times no one knows better than I is his best I think
👏👏👏👏👏
Bueno, eso es sorprendente
You can tell the soul is singing about a woman named Georgia.
For example.... Psychae Porsche's Horasororor come here. The Company is a very important part of my vox health evaluation Etc. Etc.
The guitar player kinda mimics Ray's way of rocking from side to side :-)

May sound dumb, but the Greats are great because the are great
The word is struggle
PLIS!!!! SUBTITULOS EN ESPAÑOL!!!!
I like his later rendition better, but this one's not bad.
Como rayos mandas vídeo tan de noche?
Hmmm... The first ""Miiiii iiiind" clings false to me a bit, am I stupid?
Ray Charles uses slow tempo so effectively.. and keeps the tempo slow throughout, which isn't always so easy to do.
To tell you what..Enjoy Callista Clark, Real to me.
Beth, please check out Linda Ronstadt's When You Wish Upon a Star.
Would love to hear you do Pheobe Bridgers "Georgia" watch?v=cy0kOtXaUSI this version.
hi i am alex and i am from Romania If you like folk metal i will like to recomand to you some E-AN-NA any song form them or Bucovina
Will you evaluate me? Yes please thank you Goddess girl ....who is not just about sex with powers but she is a very important part of the hardest works of music to be sure....splendid by the by.... hey nonny nonny
Beth Roars, the song belongs to Ray. But you might enjoy hearing an 18 year old Steve Winwood give it a pretty damn good shot.

React lana del rey please:)
I'm a huge fan of your channel. I love your reactions. I have a new one for you. Well I suggested it a year ago. But, you really should check out John Mooreland. A very talented man who gets ignored in the music industry, probably because of his severe obesity. (Just a guess) this is from one of his live shows...so much emotion. You won't be disappointed.

Please react to "Me quedo contigo " by Rosalia the GOYA version please
I've always thought this song is about a woman, not the State.
I hate flutes used like this. They are very irritating!
