he might of lost his sight but god placed lighting and thunder in this mans soul. He generates electricity from his heart. pure genius... if you ain moving your feet to Ray's music you need some help :). Love you Ray. RIP
It seems like the common thread of all the giants in music is the connection between them and the audience. Ray could have sang the cooking directions on the side of a pizza box and people would have sat and listened. His voice and charisma were that powerful.
Goosebumps on both my arms and both my legs when he finally gets to the first "I got a woman" WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray Charles, 1st class performer and entertainer 🎉🎉. What you did for the music world 🌎 is simply spectacular 🎉🎉. You are one of a kind.You are Georgia On My Mind 🎉🎉
Met and talked to Mr. Ray Charles at the used to be Campus Inn, in Ann Arbor Michigan. Wonderful Man. Still has his autograph. A Mark on a piece of paper.
Saw Ray Charles do the do at The Inglewood Forum in around 1974 at a Herb Hafif rally, heaven on earth, thank you Ray Charles for putting such beautiful music in our lives, you put your soul in your craft.
Si, la verdad es que Jamie Foxx hizo un excelente trabajo interpretando a Ray Charles ¡Wao! El que vio la película sabe de lo que hablo. ¿Quién más disfrutando de éstos inmortales clásicos en ésta cuarentena mundial?
A ton of talented musicians in the world. Quite a few exceptional ones. But Ray Charles is the only one I have seen that I thought "genius". He is truly in a category of himself.
For Charles he's the one that made me want to sing and play piano to give me a lot of confidence because he was blind I'm not that's what made me think I want to be just like except for the blind part I really do love him he's my favorite of all the singers
Bonjour et bonne année . Que s'est beau. Merci a vous tous et spécialement a RAY Charles. Il est comme moi malvoyant et a perdu son petit frère . PAIX A TOUS et TOUTES.
You will always have this women's heart for music been listening since my dad played Tell me what I say. (4YRS OLD) 63 AND COUNTING WITH GLEE. Legend. Look at the production. So many artists!!! Love horns!!!🤣Tears about my horns
@@marcorose5121 I grew with Sinatra,dean Martin, sammy davis jnr, Perry como, Jim Reeves, Tom Jones,etc etc but my total favourite would be the king,the likes of harry connick Jr and Michael buble bring back that era ,I really like artists who give everything to there craft, Mr Charles, nat king Cole Sinatra, to lady gaga who I get lots of people dont,but I think shes absolutely fantastic, you dont really get stars like that anymore, it's all commercial, but elvis could sing any type of music, he would definitely be number one, Sorry for the long reply.
@@philipcarthy2977 Nice 😊 I do love Lionel Richie, Michael Bolton, Michael Jackson, Westlife, Celine Dion, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Luther vandros, what do you think about some of my choices?😊
@ASSANE NDJAYE yeah, about 3 I think. A WHOLE LOT of singers covered Rays material. But Ray made the most money off of Elvis doing them. Elvis put a lot of bread on Rays table. Renald Richard co-wrote some Rays hits, and he had interesting insights about this. He said they received royalty checks whenever different artists covered he and Rays songs, but none of the money they received from other artists singing those songs came close to the amount of money he and Ray made when Elvis sang them. He said Elvis was so popular and so many people were buying up his records that the royalty checks he and Ray received from Elvis's versions were usually 8 to 10 times more money than they received from the other singers doing those same songs. 8-10 times more.... Damn. That's a lot of $$
Seven Spanish Angels, if you've never heard it, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. Try it and tell me you don't love it. This guy will be remembered forever, with people who know what real music is, anyways.
My first record by Ray Charles around 1955 was "Leave My Woman Alone"+"Lonely Avenue".I still have it but my dear old mother hated Little Richard Penniman.I saw both of them at the "Frolics Ballroom" in Allentown,Pa in 1957 plus Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis.Went in the US Army and met Elvis in Ft.Hood,Texas+Germany.I was really lucky.Also saw the Glen Miller Orchestra at Dorney Park with singer Johnny Desmond around 1980 and he died shortly after.
Even at the age of 70 still playing,still giving his best. Still the nice,funny,energetic musician he was. True Legend. May his soul rest in peace.
I love it so much 😊
he might of lost his sight but god placed lighting and thunder in this mans soul. He generates electricity from his heart. pure genius... if you ain moving your feet to Ray's music you need some help :). Love you Ray. RIP
Agree!!!! Rip Ray♥️
I wished I had the opportunity in my lifetime to see this genius in concert👍
I don't mind to nag at you, but the correct way to say this is I wish I had had the opportunity to see.
The Genius
@@johndereck304 You're obnoxious.
Amen brother, same here
I've seen him live twice. He was a brilliant performer!
flor wast lucky bastard :'(
Hey! I may be lucky and I may be a bastard but...
Thanks, I feel lucky to have seen him.
He is definitely on a long list of performers that I would have loved to see live. Im 16 years old.
WOW
flor wast
يجب ان تكون فخورآ بذلك
احسنت اخي
God, Jamie Foxx did an incredible job portraying him in Ray!
So true! Perfect movie :)
Facts
Hallo jerra
Seen the movie thrice.
Very few people listen to Blues, Gospel in India.
I love them.
Like Ray Charles.
I don't know why I will smile when I watch ray Charles perform...the best performer on stage
one of the greateast Entertainer in the World !!!
I saw him live once. Didn’t really realize how great he was until later in life.
Can’t tolerate one minute blind. He must has lots of imagination and love to make such touching songs
the best version i know of "i got a woman". Thank you Mister Charles!!!
Ikr
Can't believe he is gone. He was a very pioneering 🎵 icon. RIP Genius of Soul & Hero (1930-2004). Happy 90th birthday Ray Charles.
Rare for genius like this to come along. Amazing talent.
This performance for his age is absolutely incredible! That's how you know someone has a strong mind
I’m so thankful I got to see Ray Charles twice. And for those who got to see him live know the magic I’m talking about

Thats awesome !!!!

Paula, is it easy to forge? I was in his L,A. studio often. Never thought to get an autograph.
Mark on a piece of paper thats whats funny
@@belizeambushgalwhit9515 you
@Acid Drip Infinite Because he was blind, Ray Charles wasn't able to sign his name, so he only made a mark.
Amazing how Jamie Foxx got Ray's actions perfectly.
I know right
Omg... he killed it!!
Woooow!
I Got a Woman!!
GENIUS Ray Charles!!
I watch the Film of his life!!
Saw Ray Charles do the do at The Inglewood Forum in around 1974 at a Herb Hafif rally, heaven on earth, thank you Ray Charles for putting such beautiful music in our lives, you put your soul in your craft.
I love Ray. I was lucky to see him in a show with Ella Fitzgerald in Berkeley, 1967.
He was so animated, I just love him
Ray is a genius... RIP Ray Charles
black jack1171 He’s simply the best
Devel noise. Sold his soul to the devel. Now in hell for being a stupid blackn

Unforgetable, irreplaceable ,unrepeatable Ray Charles RIP ❤❤❤❤
Ray Charles is a one-of-a-kind man. When God made Ray Charles I think God was in his happy place.
Ray Charles is and always will be one of the very best blues musicians ever
Simplesmente sensacional!
I saw Ray Charles two times once at Wilson theater in Fresno and once in Bakersfield fair grounds. I wish I could see him again. One of a kind 👍👍
For Charles he's the one that made me want to sing and play piano to give me a lot of confidence because he was blind I'm not that's what made me think I want to be just like except for the blind part I really do love him he's my favorite of all the singers

😂
I was expecting to be within ; years buts its8

😂😂😂😂😂
And back in those days it was "she knows a woman's place, is in her home"
That’s fantastic (truly). Missed a chance to see him in Victoria, BC long ago. One of my regrets in life. He will be fondly thought of for all time.
Amazing work Mr.Ray Charles ❤
Have mercy. Mr Preston on the B3. Just a teaspoon of Gospel then let it simmer, is the key to all music.

A su edad seguia cantando como un grande. Sin duda una leyenda. No dejo de ver su película interpretada magníficamente x jamie fox.
Tienes toda la razón extraordinario el gran Ray Charles .
GRACIAS!!! OTRO GENIO PARA DELEITE DE LA VIDA!!!
If ever a man embodied music, this was him.
Very good version with big band!!! Here the true Ray.... From France.
I seriously hate saying this,but I am not of the same persuassion as Ray but still enjoy his music
Every key he played, he put love in
Its like he became one with his piano once he plays
"Same persuasion?"
He was an entertainer for sure ! I miss him.
Hands down, my favorite singer of all time. Too bad the video's aspect ratio is wrong.
I love it too
Mate ❤😂😂😂
Simplesmente maravilhoso!
Hello dear how are you doing ❤❤❤😍😍
So wonderfull ... thank you Ray for all you gave us ...
🎉What a legend
thank you for this upload..this has real soul into it
Jazz, blues,soul,this Is Ray Charles,❤️💪💪💪💪
Great artist and Performer. And you never heard any whining out of him in spite of all the challenges he had to overcome.
I managed to see it when I was a child in the GRAN REX theater, my mother took me and that's where my love for blues began,
The sexiest blind man ever!!!
It’s a shame his mother didn’t get to live longer to see him achieve so great of success.
Yes she loved him so💜💜💜💕
Да это праздник!Браво!Кайф!
