Ray Charles' approach of blending blues, gospel, soul, and jazz into something uniquely inspired and authentic has always inspired me. Every recording he's made is a masterclass in vocal inflection, and studying his vocal lines, vibrato, note bending, and rhythms is some of the best blues practice anyone could get. I've gotten a lot of requests for this tune, and other Ray Charles tunes lately... so here you go!
I tried a few guitars to see which one had the right voice for this song, and the @MuleResonatorGuitars "Mavis" stood out to me. Unplugged it sounds like a mix between a banjo and a resonator guitar, but once you plug it in, it has a surprisingly mellow, jazzy tone. The blend between the two tones is something I haven't heard with any other guitar.

To me you nailed it better than anyone ever could
THiS keeps me going through the sweat, tears & pain…🩸
This would pull a tear out of "Brother Ray's" eye; in fact he's shedding one right now in the Heavens, I'm sure of it. "When I sing, I often cry. Crying is feeling, and feeling is being human. Oh yes, I cry." -Ray Charles..
Love love love this!!!!! =)
Very well said Sam
People normally cry when I sing!!
Hey Sam Stamos. I agree sir. I only a karaoke singer at some dive bars in rural Oklahoma. And many times, when I sing I cry too. But I always think of Ray and I get thru the song. Then go outside in the parkin lot and finish up the cryin till its my turn again to sing. Bless ya my brother. U hit the ole nail on the head.
For sure with your glutton for punishment ,,dare I say phobia "*'"?? I don't know that's cool , MUSIC IS the. KEY , PICK UP AN INSTRUMENT TRIED FOR MORE THAN , 2 WEEEKS
As a lifetime lover of the blues with a large collection, I have to say Justin is one of the most talented, pleasing to listen to artists on the planet. I listen to this and it reaches through my chest, grabs my soul and holds it hostage while he plays. Thank you Justin, you have officially replaced my blood pressure meds. Thank you for sharing your gift!
This is like the best most relaxing blue's guitar I've ever heard this man Justin Johnson is making history folks he's truly one of the very best.
God bless, that's just... I don't know man, there's not really a word to describe the beautiful warmth of this performance. It's like looking through a book of old family photos on a winter night with the fire going, while on your second Makers and ginger, feeling the memories start to wash over you.
I think you just described it 🤘🥃🥃
It’s like in color! Crazy thoughts!
This.
So smooth, so gentle.... and ... dreaming to drinking in a bar and listen such a music.
I'm dreaming of playing it.
As a lifelong Georgian, this song has special meaning. Whether it’s Ray Charles’s original version or Doc Severinson’s awesome trumpet rendition, I never get tired of it. Justin has made one more version that has already become a favorite. Thank you Justin, you are an amazing talent.
How amazing would it be to have Ray Charles right there with Justin laying down the vocal. I can hear it in my mind.
I was waiting for this!☕
Sittin on the porch greeting a new day.
How sweet it is 🥰
😎🔥🎸🥃🥃
The sheer joy in Ray Charles' voice gets me every time.
One of my favorite songs played on one of my favorite guitars by my favorite guitar player. Couldn't ask for a better start to my day.
❤️❤️JJ❤️❤️
very calming Justin considering we're all trying to get back to this level of relaxing,
I actually put it on repeat with a nice glass of wine and a candle.
👌
Literally brought me to tears. God I miss home. Grew up 20 miles south of Atlanta. Thank you JJ, this was beautiful.
And you make it look so easy😳. The Mule is just in a class all by itself.
that's them years a practice an a play on them strings. Makes it look smoother than anything
@@shreddykrueger3776 wow aren’t you rude and judgmental😳. The guitar is hand made by a company called Mule. They make some of the best resonators in the world.
@@shreddykrueger3776 the worst joke ever.
@King_of_Dragons it was from a she and it got deleted...thankfully.
The Wizard. Because his music and the way he plays guitars is magical. ✌🏼🤟🏼🤘🏼
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🙌🏼
Just waking up in California and what a song to go perfectly with my coffee and start my day. Excellent Justin, thank you. I hope everyone has just a perfect day as well!
Ride that MULE ! It’s actually like your walking beside her in gentle conversation…..beautiful…..
Even ray would have cried listening to this , simply amazing 👍👍
Truly --THE "Magic Man"...!
Oh yeah. Mavis was a good choice for Ray's song. She has that deep throat sound on the low notes. Dang, it don't get any better than that.
Thanks and take care. 😎👍👌
You can go ahead and put out videos every day. I'll keep clicking on them. Thanks man, keep it up.
This guy just has the blue seeping through his pores. Absolutely stellar!
This guy plays like 10 hours a day sometimes to get that good, he's possibly the best blue's guitarist of all time and possibly the best guitarist of all time period
Cooking them Georgia blues !TWR🐰🎸🤠
Justin has such a great way of making the music come out.
What a song...man. One classic forever.🎶🎶🎶
"What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man." - Ray Charles
JJ's more than a good utility man.
tee hee....he is my favorite I listen to this person give the sound the fine tune it needs [hard to imagine a world with NO music]
What I like best about your playin' is you don't need any backin' tracks!!
No Singer 🎤 Need Apply. Dude: You make those strings sing.
Thank you so much Justin! I’m sitting here tears in my eyes drinking my morning coffee, reminiscing. Thinking of all those times deployed around the world, I’d listen to this song. Being from Ga it has a special place brings me comfort, hope and beauty. It always moved my mind away from the world and back home.
Today as I listen, it takes me back there joking with my good friend and brother, I can see the smile on his face, another Georgia boy. I love seeing that smile specially today as we lay him to rest.
The timing of this couldn’t be better! 💆🏻♂️ it’s just one of them days 🤯 Thanking so very very kindly Dr Johnson. Just let me float away from all of this world’s madness on the wings of your ohh so sweet strings😘👍🏼 thanking you from my heart 👋🏼
Hope you're having a better day!🎵🎸❤
@@jennybeam7226 ohh I don’t really know what to say except, from every single piece of me that still work’s properly i wish you as much love and kindness that is humanly possible! You have just touched my very soul ( which is rather hard after suffering seizures) i am totally stunned by your beautiful comment I can’t thank you enough. I wish you a absolutely beautiful day and most of all stay safe and healthy (from a wet eyed SkunkPunch) thank you 🥲❤️😘👍🏼
@@SkunkPunch73 I'm sorry you've had a hard time w health. I wish u the best.. You're so welcome. That's why we're put on this Earth, to raise people up, show love & compassion & learn a few lessons along the way, right? Made my day 2 know my comment brought u joy. Hang in there!💪
Exactly. A drink, or not..., and this takes away pain.
@@jennybeam7226 so sorry for the slow reply this iPad must be having one of its own little problems, I only just spotted your reply so please forgive me for not reply sooner 💨❤️👋👋👍
This is wonderful. 🌞 So perfect on such a grey, grey day! Thank'ee, kind Sir...😘🥰🌹
I know I can not be the omly person that returns to this U Tube visual of the perfect sound from Justin Johnson 10/11/21
A day in history for my dad, maki, love you xo anna
As a person born and raised in GA I approve this message
I just keep this on loop and hours of tiresome paperwork pass peaceably and I'm ready for a well-deserved whiskey, still on loop. Thanks Justin.
How people can give a thumbs down to this is beyond me
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said Georgia
Georgia
A song of you (a song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia
Oh Georgia, no peace I find (no peace I find)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Whoa-whoa, Georgia
Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia native here...been in purgatory, (also known as Florida), for many years. This stunning rendition makes me wistful.
Purgatory lmao😂.. Born & raised North Carolina gal here & feel your pain! Hang in there!
Florida son here, born & raised….
Florida is purgatory, eh? Well, living in purgatory would be how we Floridians describe having to deal with folks from other States coming to live in our beautiful State! If it’s such a living hell, why don’t ya just move?? Damn, dude…it’s an easy fix. (Yes, these remarks are to be taken “with a grain of salt”. Florida does have some fucked up parts to it….but, then again, every damn State does!)
I used to live in Georgia. I'm a southern Ohio gal. Going down into The South is like going back in time. Yeah Georgia is that backward. I love so much about the state, but I'm too progressive for the majority of Georgians. I was raised to be a real person. I can't do fake nice. I'm not implying that we don't have them up here, we sure do. The only difference is that they're not the majority up here and we don't all bow to the church up here. I'm not even going to go into the racism. Nope I met a lot of good people down there, but they're definitely the minority. It's sad. Such a beautiful area and most people will never see it because they can't deal with the ignorance and meanness.
@@PhantomOfTheMall Born and raised in North Fl Retired USAF and spent alot of time stationed near Valdosta not that much different than North FL!! I love FL and I really enjoyed my time in Georgia great people !!! but I get it if someone don't like Florida take the interstate North and get the hell out !!! I guess you live in south Florida because we don't get to many people complaining about it here !! pretty quiet town here
@@brianstevens3963
Hey, I’m an Army vet myself! Only spent 8 years in though.
Nope, I’m actually from Central Florida! Dead center of Florida, to be exact. About a hour from both coasts, about a hour north of Orlando/Disney, and about a hour south of the Ocala National Forest. 😁 Haven’t spent any time in the other parts…lol. I don’t have anything against Georgia, at all, I just love my Florida. Even the fucked up parts.
The only thing I hate about Georgia…is how damn long it takes to drive through it from north to south when traveling to visit family down there, etc.
There go those goosebumps again...if Ray Charles' perfectly gritty yet smooth, sublimely soulful, beautifully imperfectly perfect voice was a guitar? This is EXACTLY how he'd sound! ❤️
I'm at a loss for words. Simply amazing
AN OL' SWEET SONG...💙🙏
Damn son, Willie would toke one to this for sure.
Love this song. Hoagy Carmichael was a genius. You do it justice Justin.
Just beautiful, unpretentious playing, loved it.
Every time you show a new arrangement,I get impressed,it is amazing what you do with the guitar and the feeling you put into it.
My respects to you,MAESTRO!!
As always Justin that was from the soul, a beautiful version. I bet Ray was nodding his head and tapping his foot as you was tickling them strings.
You n Nikki take care and stay safe 🎵🎶🎸🤘
He was singing.
Didn't you hear him?
@@shawnr771 I heard it, I don't have a time stamp but I heard a slight voice.
@@okiedokie8534 I heard it through the whole song.
Thank you Justin ✅ Fantastic performance 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

That came out of your heart and soul, its beautiful
JJ is a true maestro... what a gift this track is!
When I was a child I had a cousin who could play guitar so good it would almost bring a tear to the eye of a child. He’s the one who inspired me to try to become a musician, but it turns out I had zero musical talent🤨, so I’ve spent my life listening to people like Justin play like this.
I feel so extra happy knowing some person such as Justin Johnson, paints a picture right through all of those diamond tears.
Absolutely LOVE this! 😍🎸
Dude. Your guitar playing is so nice. Acoustic delta blues is SO underrated. Thank you for making such melodic, inspiring, and easy-to-listen-to music.
God Bless Ga. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Beautiful!!
Pure magic.
Pure Gold, Thank You Justin. Just what I needed on this cold day in Fl. 4'th time I've listened , gonna play thru a few more times. You are a Master!!!
Amazing!!!
Incredible....just incredible! Probably the best version fingerstyle I've ever head! Thanks Justin
Sweet perfection! This one made my day. Love me some Ray Charles!
This brought tears to my eyes at 9:23am on a Thursday.
I started listening to Justin on my ride home after work each day and I’m more relaxed by the time I get home now. 👍👍
Some great blues to listen to
You got P L A T I N U M fingers my man!! What a blessing that you bring to the guitar WORLD AND MUSIC WORLD. GOD BLESS YOU. PLAY ME TUESDAYS GONE!, SKYNYRD IS NEVER A BAD CHOICE! GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC 🎶 🙏
Just beautiful
Absolutely amazing playing Justin💥🎶🎸🔥💯
Dreamy sound. Bravo
Just a sweet, melancholic and beautiful version. Thanks.
When I was 14th, 45 years ago, my guitar teacher always told me "Keep that f....g thumb down!!!!". But I've always used it in this way, for playing the bass on the 6th string. And now I can say at him: "Keep YOUR f.....g thumb down and stick it into your back" 😀 Thanks for the very useful tips on finger picking, and thanks for the many many hours with me listening for your great interpretations of great never ending music!!! Cheers from the Venetian Alps!!
Love this!!
Absolutely gorgeous
You are really bringing out the musical feels on the beautiful Mavis Justin! You have a way of making me forget my troubles for a while as I listen to you play. Thanks for sharing your musical journey
MERCI - THANK-YOU - MERCI MERCI... Sometimes, i mean, one or maybe two times a life, even if music is your reason to live, you're reasons to give up, in a middle of a night, or when the sun is rising... what ever... for one instant, it's not enough... you're thinking about how to be definitively be quiet, zen, just happy to never be worry anymore.. what's happen boy at the end of my story ?
i'm falling down, deeply, crying my reborn which coming back... I HEARD "THIS" and so I WANT for the most long time stay ALIVE..
Outstanding.......Talented beyond comprehension! Not gifted, Talented! Only after hours and hours and hours of perfecting your craft can you achieve what Justin has. Big Applause from your Admirer's......
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 absolutely perfectly said 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘👍👍
@@SkunkPunch73 yeash, like his blood is guitar
@@luluwinke6581 his hard earned work relaxes my mind better than any of my anti seizure medication ever does, I refer to the man as Dr Johnson as his playing just seems to eminent such soul touching almost magical impact directly into whatever we actually really are be it a spirit or a light stuck inside a human cell.
thanks for this one...i enjoyed learning it...your inspirational...
Beautiful song.
This is so fantastic! Thank You Justin!
Well done Justin, a pleasure to listen to as I sit here with my morning coffee on the deck.
This guy is just absolutely amazing
I come back to this recording weekly.
