      Hi Threse - just found this and you are right - your Dad is fabulous! I played drums for
      Ray 5 years later and heard from the guys about Ernie and how respected he was. You have much to be proud of! John Bryant.

    The concert is incredible, thank you very much, from the fans around the world who can see this performance. The songs of the orchestra's introduction reminded me of the orchestras that I saw on my visit to Cuba in 1981, they had a similar atmosphere, the drummer's concentration on the first song demonstrates the professionalism of these great musicians. thanks very much.

  • @danielm4114

    Legendary. Nothing more to say except you seldom see Ray Charles- you bear witness. Incredible show. He was through inventing genres and writing songs that have long become standards by 1969, and instead focused on reinventing others' material as only Ray knew how to do. His voice only got better as time went on, and the late 60s and early 70s he was in as fine form vocally as he'd ever be. Thanks for reading and uploading.

      In 4.03 the song is I remember Clifford, the next one is The shadow of your smile (which I think he never recorded). The instrumental on 48.10 is This here. The one in miinute 53.07 is Finders keepers, loosers weepers. The next one is Baby please.I don't know the title of the first instrumental, but it is a beautiful one!
      It is a great concert. Thanks for uploading it!
