Ray Charles is performing a concert. He finishes up, the crowd goes wild, but a man walks up to him afterwards and says " That was unbelievable. There's no way a blind man can be that good." Ray looks at him, tips his hat, and says " I don't see your point."
+François Royal That's like saying Stephan King will never compare to Shakespeare. Why would you even try to compare them? That doesn't mean Stephan King isn't incredibly talented at what he does.
That was the genius of Ray Charles! The best! Learned the drums playing to the album What Id Say and I Got A Woman was on growing up in Brooklyn. Miss those days and the talent of this man. RIP Ray!
At the age of 70 years he was still rocking the place :-) Fucking brilliant, I thank my father for introducing his music and that of B.B. King to me when I was a kid !!!
I think the 'feel good ' factored in strongly, that made this genre more readily accessible to all that took part in its vibrancy. Ray Charles could 'move' the audience to his emotions - a gifted musician too, very few like him today
i absolutely loved when he crossed his legs at 3:16 when the song hit him and he felt it!!! i love watching MASTERS performing their crafts!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!
Man. I'm in love with this song because of the way he invented the electric piano with this song. I jut sbaought a 1959 Wurlitzer piano because pf this song. And here, Ray plays the cheesiest approximation of an electric piano I guess it doesn't matter what your play. IT'S WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING. Thanks Ray.
É impossível ficar parado ouvindo o som deste que sem dúvida, é o "RAY" da Soul Music. Cresci ouvindo as músicas desta "fera" por influencia da minha família, e até hoje, nas nossas reuniões aos finais de semana, é som obrigatório. É o inventor do Samba-Rock.Tenho 64 anos e frequento bailes nos salões da cidade de Sampa, onde se curte música de qualidade como estas por exemplo. Abraços a todos os que curtem e aos que não curtem também.
that man keeps on giving me chills and keeps make me moving ..even when im in a senior home and turn this one on when im spinning records of the good ol days ... old but young people all know who Ray is ... He's a man with such a big soul in his voice and body language .... may he rest in peace now and may his music not rest and let it swing till the earth explodes ...God Bless
Eis um grande fenomeno!!! Ray Charles dono de um espirito musical fenomenal sabe com fazer transbordar acordes maravilhoso. Sinto muito a perda de grandes genios musicais como este. Será que ainda teremos fenomenos como estes? E S P E R O...
This song is amazing. One's i read in a magazine about this song and it said "Is it gospel, is it R&B, is it blues,..." Now I see, they were right and that is an achievement in world history.
Ray never did a song the same way at his soul he was a jazz man ---- this version was so great --- even after all the years he just reinvents the song and creates something new and has fun with it -- I miss you Ray you were the greatest popular music performer in the 20 eth century your music will never die
This man was a true ledgen artist just amaz ing.. may he RIP... There was only Ray Charles.... bless him.. his music lives on forever... great talent..Thank you for the video.... 13bisrecords... bless you.. peace love....
It is a classic! Was so big when it came out. Back then it was relatable as there were still some among us that weren't hip in the drug culture. And ones Mama, absolutely told ya not to come!
Excelente cantante y musico. Un Maestro. Tocar el piano es muy dificil pero Ray, siendo ciego, lo dominó a la perfección y le agregó su estilo inigualable que lo convirtió en uno de los más afamados cantantes del mundo.
SI CIEGO ES CONSIDERADO DENTRO DE LOS 10 MEJORES ARTISTAS DE LA HISTORIA MUSICAL Y TOCA LOS TECLADOS DE ESA FORMA... IMAGINENSE LO QUE HUBIERA HECHO CON LA VISTA NORMAL... FUE Y ES UN CAPO ESTE VIEJO...
C'est un monstre ce type ! Tout le monde la ferme et le laisse regler son instrument dans le plus grand calme et avec grand respect !!! Dès qu'il sent la bonne intonation, les autres suivent ! C'etait vraiment un grand bonhomme !!! On a perdu quelqu'un de géant !!! je vous le dis !
On this day in 1961 {February 22nd} Ray Charles performed "What'd I Say" on the NBC-TV program 'The Perry Como Show'... Two years earlier on July 6th, 1959 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #6 and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 And on August 3rd, 1959 it reached #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart Four covered versions have charted; Jerry Lee Lewis {#30 in 1961}, Bobby Darin {#24 in 1962}, Elvis Presley {#21 in 1964}, and Rare Earth {#61 in 1972}
The opening keyboard solo nothing short of brilliant!
How can an individual with eyesight give a thumbs down...The Man is still and will be a legend. Amazing.

R.I.P. Ray Charles The best on the piano ever.
Thank
Though Ray Charles may be talented, he will never compare to Beethoven.
+François Royal Just like John Lennon would never compare to Enrico Caruso.. LOL Wtf?
+François Royal That's like saying Stephan King will never compare to Shakespeare. Why would you even try to compare them? That doesn't mean Stephan King isn't incredibly talented at what he does.
+François Royal l'ignorance
i keep repeating the first part just to see him getting it right, its just magic
Ray was the greatest R& B music pioneer that ever lived
Ray Charles is a true AMERICAN ICON

At the beginning he's like "let me show these young cats how it's done" >> fingers go wild on da piano. Respect due.
Ray Charles is in a class of his own, a great man.
he was a great artist he is dead but his music never die.
R.I.P Uncle Ray greeting from Turkey.
Its an old blind man playing that piano!
Come on people! You got to love him!
this is possibly the best thing ive ever seen! Ray is a Genius BIG TIME!
The Man! Never will be another Ray Charles-ever!
nothing like the classics, RIP Ray may you bless the ears of everyone in the after life
Black or white,
Dead or a live
Ray Charles
LEGEND!!!
This is what it really means when someone lives on music. Pure sensation
I think the 'feel good ' factored in strongly, that made this genre more readily accessible to all that took part in its vibrancy. Ray Charles could 'move' the audience to his emotions - a gifted musician too, very few like him today
I'm in love with old music. Anyone else, or is it just me?
I Have No Words. He Is a Legend In a World of Sounds. Perfect!!!!!
i absolutely loved when he crossed his legs at 3:16 when the song hit him and he felt it!!! i love watching MASTERS performing their crafts!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!
Music becomes a mess of fanzy sounds, and words mixed together! This video should have at least 7.000.000.000 views!!! And the same amount of likes!
Wow! He's great with an orchestra and a grand piano and he's great with a keyboard and a trio. Ray Charles is just great!
best intro ever
Man. I'm in love with this song because of the way he invented the electric piano with this song.
I jut sbaought a 1959 Wurlitzer piano because pf this song.

That first minute absolutely blew my mind.
God gave us Justin B and Micky M and took from us Ray and Elvis , .... what have I done to deserve this
What'd i say by: Ray Charles WONDERFUL performance this man desserves respect worldwilde for all this contributions for the music ....
Those folks need to show a little bit more love for a legend like Ray Charles
Wow. hit restart at 1:04 for about 6 times before i let the song play out! INCREDIBLE!
Muzikly Inklined i know what you mean brother !
that man keeps on giving me chills and keeps make me moving ..even when im in a senior home and turn this one on when im spinning records of the good ol days ... old but young people all know who Ray is ... He's a man with such a big soul in his voice and body language .... may he rest in peace now and may his music not rest and let it swing till the earth explodes ...God Bless
I would have loved to meet that man.. He will ALWAYS be a legend and will be missed!!
oh god!! why you make me born in 90s!!! that's not fair!!! GONNA BE GOOD TO LISTEN RAY IN HEAVEN! ;)
¡Me encanta! Gracias por colgar buena música

Oh my gosh, I can't believe this, I'm actually crying. I didn't think a song like this would have that effect on me. I love this song so so much.
This man was a true ledgen artist just amaz ing.. may he RIP... There was only Ray Charles.... bless him.. his music lives on forever... great talent..Thank you for the video.... 13bisrecords... bless you.. peace love....
At about 1:05, I start to get major chills. One of THE best ever!!
music hits this man differently than it hits others... so awesome
It's amazing how seamless he transitions from the solo at the beginning to the opening riff.
It is a classic! Was so big when it came out. Back then it was relatable as there were still some among us that weren't hip in the drug culture. And ones Mama, absolutely told ya not to come!
A #1 hit for Ray Charles and His Orchestra on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 50th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.
pure class
I love it how he can retain his voice even though being that old.
Still so sexy and that unique sound and feel... incredible!!!
MASTER RAY!!! Should've stayed with us to adorn this world. The new generations have not even heard his name. RAY FOREVER!!!
Excelente cantante y musico. Un Maestro. Tocar el piano es muy dificil pero Ray, siendo ciego, lo dominó a la perfección y le agregó su estilo inigualable que lo convirtió en uno de los más afamados cantantes del mundo.
Wooooh!!! That intro!!! :'D
Almost cried with joy :'D ! WOOH!!!
i so wish i could someday play guitar as brilliantly as he played all his music!!!
I don't think Ray Charles played the guitar :p (Blind people have sensitive fingers, usually it's the instrument to avoid for a blind person)
João Mamede i know, but i can play this song on guitar and I'm just saying i hope to play it as well as he could play instruments/music.
João Mamede ?
30 percent of the best guitar players of all time were blind!
Just close your eyes and listen.One of a Kind Thanks Ray
I'd go out of my mind to be in the same room as Ray Charles
he's a living legend
Listening to this made me the most joyous i have been in a long time.That's What I Say.
YES SIR!!! THERE WAS NONE LIKE HIM ............ NEVER WILL BE ANY LIKE HIM!!!! RAY CHARLES, LADIES & GENTS!!
Oh my Goodness. Would have be here to see this maestro.
He was blind, but felt the beat.
We saw Ray, September 2000, ... Glad we saw this legend live. Thanks for posting.
Even when he fucks around he sound better than most musicians.
Ray was one of the coolest kats in the game ya dig. Would have killed to see him live.
A true American genius and treasure...
simply wonderful ! God bless you Ray !
I almost could fly to anywhere listening this jazz piano!!!!!
Yes. "The King of Soul" indeed! Such a genius!!!

-love is blind
-God is love
So ray charles is God
v.c.
Ray will always be a genius in my world.
seeing this makes me cry when i see my generations hit/pop music.
