It's incredible when a piano player that age still has such supple joints in their fingers to play like that, I was thinking the same thing watching a Jerry Lee Lewis performance today.
I love it, the man is genius, imagine playing without seeing the audience, only sounds while making, recording, performing live and the playing and listening to the reaction. Genius, absolute genius artist
A childhood friend of mine is blind and he can play bass guitar like you wouldn't believe. I admire him a lot and the late great Ray Charles people like them prove that just because your disabled it doesn't make you helpless which is something I do my best to live by having been born disabled myself.
It seems like “boomer” Is a term for 1: anyone that is your grandparents or old relative or 2: anytime someone over the age of 35 says something you don’t like.
@@KingRiverVlogs exactly lol I’m barely even 30 and couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been called a boomer. Mostly for saying something with a little common sense
That just makes me happy and laughing & smiling for no reason. That's the good, authentic stuff for sure! I'm going to get a copy, and I want this live version,.it rocks a little more than the studio version, plus the more modern sound....
Black Buick Del Griffith gave it to him since the hotel owner wouldn’t do his deal so he sold it to ray to buy more shower curtain rings and to repay Neil page his losses they had going to Chicago
The Mess Around ...whose author is not very well known : Ahmet Ertegün , the fundator of Atlantic records .It made one of the first hit of Ray Robinson ...
To be fair, as the co-founder of Atlantic Records amongst many things, I'd say he was pretty well known. On the street probably not up there with Quincy (Jones, not M.E.) or Carole King / Burt Bacharach, but "not very well" is a little off the mark.
That was captured well in the movie "Ray" with Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. It was also insinuated that this was when they really nailed Ray's sound that they'd been trying to find, and Ray took it and ran with it.
I love how Ray Charles always looks like he’s having a blast performing
Thats because he is xDDD
He probably was
That is called cocaine
@@yosoypokefanburgh wasn't he completely clean at this point?
Either way he was still having a good time
My Mom loved Ray. Early 1953, they would have called this rhythm and blues in the day; confined to black stations, but this was rock and roll.
Ray Charles isn't dead, he just hit the road and isn't coming back no more
Still on the road, messing around

Anna Vajda Also blind
He had magic hands
No one could match Lewis in his prime
You are a lucky one for seeing Jerry Lee Lewis performing
Especially since he's doing it by feel, not sight.
even the mic is dancing
Even the mic doing the mess around
vacata97 haha it actually is
URE FUCKING RIGTH!!!!!
Aint gonna sit there and watch. Toe tapping
Man the whole set around him was doing the mess around
This song always makes me remember John Candy.
He burnt that car to the ground.
“We almost hit a deer”! Lmao
"You're going the wrong way!"
And then John Candy suddenly looks like the devil. Such a classic movie.
Omg im watchen that right now. Rewind 5 times beehahahahahahaahahh. GOLD
@@BohepansTheThirdoh he's drunk, how does he where we're going
Just watched that (again) yesterday. Great scene. Great music. And it was written by a record producer of all people.
R.I.P. John Candy
What a great actor he was.. this scène was fantastic......
Love the Guy. The KING himself! Orange Whip, Orange Whip? 3 Orange Whips!
The coolest, most soulful man ever.

I just wish he could have seen the joy and smiles he brought to people.
But then again, I'm sure he FELT it!
He has a WATCH on his wrist?
@@joeaguirre1564 It's probably a braille watch. In his book he often mentions thing's he's SEEN lol.
HOW can you not love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A classic!!!! A blind man playing the piano like that...shame on you!
Go head on Mr. Ray Charles!!!♥️ All the Awesomely Talented musicians on one platform…PRICELESS!!!❤❤❤💃
Can't believe that someone can sing live such way. Genius.
Ray Charles amazes me more than any other person who ever lived
Notice how the other musicians are reading their sheet music? Ray Charles/Stevie Wonder are talents we cannot comprehend
This man is no boomer, he a good man. I wish he were still here, he is an artist of greatness
He’s from the silent generation, he wouldn’t be a boomer now matter how good or bad he was .
@@KingRiverVlogs this generation doesn’t know when the baby boomer era started and ended.
@@Chicken_Wing91 it seems like it.

É vibrante essa música!!! Sempre volto aqui para recuperar o ânimo e seguir em frente!!
Can't sit still with this one! Love it!
Thanks for this post! Grateful for TH-cam!
I can’t help compare the unimaginable talent of this man to any known artist today
Wish I was there to see him singing and playing that piano ❤
0:02 the last thing someone hears before they enter an unconscious state of wreckless driving
I love you Ray Charles ❤

Ray Charles was a BAD MAN! 🎶 ⏳ TIMELESS Perfection! His music does NOT age!
That just makes me happy and laughing & smiling for no reason. That's the good, authentic stuff for sure! I'm going to get a copy, and I want this live version,.it rocks a little more than the studio version, plus the more modern sound....
I love this song 🎵, and I love Ray Charles, he's simply amazing and awesome, his music 🎶 🎵 is straight up phenomenal 🎉🎉
I was there! Palaeur in Rome, Italy, November 1988.
Que buena voz... La mejor voz masculina que escuche en mi vida.
Simply one of the best. Period
*Periodt!😚
He has a watch
Junior Garcia its for blind people, has speakers to tell them the date and time
panfilo cabrera it has no speakers. He feels the numbers with his fingers.
@Junior....that made me literally laugh out loud.
"watch" hoho, no hate, i love him so much, i wish i could ever visit a concert of him...
Black Buick Del Griffith gave it to him since the hotel owner wouldn’t do his deal so he sold it to ray to buy more shower curtain rings and to repay Neil page his losses they had going to Chicago
O.G TUNE SLAYER ♎ thank you Mr Charles 4 sharing your Beautiful music with us!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

You folks who were there, you're so lucky. I'm jealous!
Una delicia escuchar su música del mejor
This man actually was able to see his gift from God🙏♥️ even a blind man knows when the sun is shining!
God had to be with ray it’s hard for me to believe he was this talented on his own and he couldn’t see GOD GIFTED TALENT
The subtle nod he does when he starts gets me going

I realized this a couple months ago he learned to play the piano blind he is the king
Wow!
Perfect song ! I love him, It's an oustanding and expectional singer/musician.
AWESOME!!!❤
Esse é uma lenda
