    Ray was a man who was truly IN LOVE with music. Not only did he feel much more than any of the other artists who worked on the song, but he manage to morph so much style into a simple melody. The joy is bursting in his tone and body language. I love it when someone who has mastered an art finds so much joy in what they do. Ray is an inspiration to so many and an unbreakable backbone to music.❤

    That's the difference between real artists and common people: sometimes they feel the same as we do, but they can turn it into art in a concise, fast and beautiful way and then sometimes they see and feel some things that most of the people can't see even if they are in front of their eyes, and again they show us in a concise, fresh and beautiful way so we can capture the feeling. In a certain way real artists are a kind of really good masters.
