For many of us, “The Cosby Show” was our introduction to this song. I know it’s sacrilegious to bring up his name now because of what he did, but at the time, that episode where they serenaded the grandparents with this song, was classic. And it’s a great song by the great Ray Charles. I also highly recommend the CCR version.
It's a truly maddening shame that the entire show is tarnished now by his behavior. I have the entire dvd set of the show - and don't want to get rid of it - but KNOW I will never be able to watch the episodes in the same way.
That was Margie Hendrix singing. She was one of the Raelettes, his backup singers and was also in love with Ray Charles. They were breaking up around the time this song was recorded; thus the pain in her voice. Great song❤🎶🎼
They weren't breaking up around the time of this song. This was 1958 and it was actually his first song with the Raylettes. She had his baby in 1959 and the affair continued though it began to deteriorate after the baby was born because she wanted him to leave his wife. She began drinking and using herion heavily. He threw her out of the Raylettes after a violent arguement in 1964.
I can still see Rudy Huckstable's face singing the B-a-b-y ... part of this song! To me, it will live on forever in my memories. Loved that show too. Thanks for another great reaction! Ray Charles is a deep catalog you should continue to explore! ✌💙✌
Sweet! When you're ready for more from Ray Charles, check out some of these classics - "Hit the Road Jack", "What'd I Say", "I Can't Stop Loving You", "Unchain My Heart", "I Got A Woman", "Drown In My Own Tears", and of course, "Georgia On My Mind".
I'm always shocked that basically nobody has seen that movie. I also don't think there's a single reaction of it on RUclips. Just sad. Absolutely phenomenal movie that was completely lost to time. People just don't care about this kinda stuff anymore.
Apparently nobody under the age of 35 has seen that movie, or even knows it exists. It's really quite sad. It's honestly one of the best biographical movies out there. Its phenomenal. I just don't understand why people don't know about it, and don't watch it. Criminal really.
Marjorie Hendrix (sometimes Hendricks) (March 13, 1935 - July 14, 1973)[1] was an American rhythm and blues singer and founding member of the Raelettes, who were the backing singers for Ray Charles,
Yall can legitimately spend a month on Ray Charles alone and cover R&B, gospel, the beginnings of soul music, blues, jazz, and country music. My 2nd fav country album of all-time is Ray's " Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music". It's country classics done in a Ray Charles style while still paying respect for the roots. It's considered one of the top albums of all time; any genre. Y'all should check it out, you probably know 4-5 songs he covered by now.
It might sound familiar if you ever watched The Cosby Show. The family lip syncs/performs this songs for Cliff’s parents for one of their wedding anniversaries. If you haven’t seen it, you can find it on RUclips.
Ray's greatest double album from 1962, it was the 1st album that I bought and the greatest album ever recorded; "I Can't Stop Loving You", "You Win Again", "You Don't Know Me", "Take These Chains From My Heart", "Born To Lose", "Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)", "Half As Much"... Ray Charles grew up in Florida playing Hank Williams & Country Music :) The albums are "Modern Sounds of Country& Western Music", if you could have but one album, THIS IS IT :)
I met Ray Charles in the first class section of an air flight. I noticed him right off because he was guided on by his son and entire entourage of burly guys in suits. After the flight started I went up to one of the men and asked if I could speak to Mr. Charles for a minute, as a big fan. He said absolutely not, but as I was turning around, Ray said "I always want a nice word. Let that boy come over here."
Jamie actually won an Oscar for Best Actor for that movie and it was well-earned... He should've also won Best Supporting Actor for the movie "Collateral" he did with Tom Cruise that came out the same year... He may have been the 1st actor to have won both Oscars on the same night... But, we're all glad that Jamie won for "Ray" (which is in my top 3 of all-time favorite movies 🎬)
The woman singing with Ray is Margie Hendrix (no relation to Jimi) one of "the Raelettes, Rays backup singers. Now check out Creedence Clearwater's version. The Animals also did a version on their debut album.
Lots of great music from Ray Charles. He was the first to combine the rhythm of gospel music with the raunch of the blues. If you haven't, see the biopic Ray with Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. Epic.
I remembered hearing this originally on a classic episode of The Cosby Show (1984-92); it was an episode that had the Huxtables celebrating the wedding anniversary of Cliff's parents. Twenty years later, I heard it again in Ray (2004); in the scenes with Jamie Foxx playing this song and the producers were unsure if it should go on his album.
Jay &Amber, you'll love his "What I'd Say"!!! Wait till you hear the back and forth with the backup singers! Live performance ruclips.net/video/HAjeSS3kktA/видео.html . Also his "Hit The Road Jack"!!!
I love noting the differences between the performances of What’d I Say based upon the censors and dispositions of whatever television program that they were on. Sometimes, the interchanges between Ray and the background singers sounded quite chaste; other times, I’m, not so much.
I grew up on this music. My mom and dad would dance to Ray Charles music on Friday and Saturday nights in the mid to late 60's. His music brings back memories of when I was a child. Thank for playing his music.
Ray Charles has a duet with Billy Joel called Baby Grand which would be a good song to react to. He also had an album called Genius Loves Company on which every song was a duet with another famous artist. Any song off that album would be worthy of a reaction.
Agreed, both versions are stellar and just recently, I found on RUclips the Righteous Brothers doing this song with Darlene Love and the Blossoms doing back up on Shindig. That was a real treat!
Thanks for getting back to this great pioneer! A lot of soul and pop and even rock was built around Ray's "rockhouse" groove. Other fabulous Ray Charles classics to check out include "Hit the Road Jack," "Let's Go Get Stoned," "I've Got a Woman," and of course the all-time classic "What'd I Say," parts I and II. And one more: The beautiful love ballad "Come Rain or Come Shine."
My parents too, I remember the Columbia House Music Club, buy one album get 12 free. They joined the club and my first introduction to music and vinyl was Ray Charles, The Platters, Dave Brubeck(jazz), Nancy Wilson and others. I loved the music, the violins made, such a beautiful sound.
Nice. You went back to the 50s for some more much deserved Ray Charles. Great cover. CCR also did a great cover several years later that I think you will enjoy. Some more core Ray songs that I don't think you have done yet are What'd I Say, Hit The Road Jack and America The Beautiful.
This came from Ray's classic "birth of soul" period in the late 50s on Atlantic Records. Other songs from this time were "I Got A Woman" and "What'd I Say." He moved to ABC Records in late 1959 getting a groundbreaking deal that gave him ownership of his master recordings after five years. He also went a little more "pop" without leaving his soul roots behind. "Hit The Road Jack" is a good one. Ray also put out (in 1962) his landmark "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music" with his hit version of "I Can't Stop Loving You." And since we're on the start of soul music another early titan was Sam Cooke: check out "Chain Gang" "Wonderful World" or "Shake."
In the early 90's I was in Dallas for a company training. The last night they brought in Ray for a concert. I was not going to go, I was thinking I don't want to see old Ray Charles. I missed the shuttle back to the hotel. Since I was there I went to the concert. It wound up being one of the best concerts of my life.
My mom and dad(who ran his own band out of Queens ny in the 60s and 70s) were huge Ray fans. My mom would sing this song whenever she was in the kitchen.
One of my favorite Ray Charles songs his cover of "One Mint Julep" It's an instrumental with Ray playing organ with orchestra done in 1961. There were a lot of really good instrumentals in the 50's and 60's that you should check out.
Love this song!! A classic. But all of Ray Charles' songs are. Other Ray Charles songs you'll love: 1. Hit The Road Jack 2. Unchain My Heart 3. What'd I Say (parts 1 and 2) 4. I've Got A Woman 5. Lonely Avenue 6. Crying' Time
Thr Cosby Show, 1986 I believe. Cliff's parents' 49th wedding anniversary. This song was the centerpiece of one of the greatest and funniest musical scenes in television history. Rudy doing the woman's part, Theo with the first line, and Cliff with the gut busting ensing to it. Absolute comedy perfection.
I love Ray Charles, he is legendary! The movie, Ray, is so amazing and Jamie Foxx really transforms himself in that Oscar winning role! Ray's life was filled with sadness and tragedy but this man overcame the odds and became a musical icon. The woman's vocals did remind me of that classic Cosby Show episode when they performed this song and Rudy (the youngest daughter) lip synched that part. 💖💖
Georgia on my mind is the official state song. Those back- up girls were known as "Johnny Girls". J, please tell me that's a Big MOMMA THORNTON shirt you're sportin'.She of. "They Call Me Big MOMMA 'Cause I Weigh 300 Pounds" fame.Might want to play that one guys.
I’m so glad y’all checked this out. This song and seven Spanish angels are my two favorites by him. But he has so so many great songs. Also, you guys really should check out the Cosby show episode like others have said. It’s super cute!
Ok. You need to have Xmas in July. Ray Charles' "Spirit of Christmas" will melt your heart. Jay have some tissues handy. Mom's gonna cry. You will "water up."
FIRE!!! THANKS for THIS ONE!! I knew this one BEFORE they used it on The Cosby Show - but, RUDY in that episode STOLE THE SHOW!!! RIP to Ray Charles AND Margie Hendrix....CANNOT beat THIS COMBO!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
If you watched The Blues Brothers on your movie channel…, then you’ve seen Ray Charles… His acting performance as Ray, from Ray’s Music Exchange, is a classic moment from the film…
This song always makes me think of the Cosby Show when they celebrated the grandparents’ 49th wedding anniversary.
My first thought exactly ❤❤
I'll always remember little Rudy lip syncing the "babaaaaaay!" part during that Cosby Show episode.
If you're of a certain age, and you don't immediately think of that, we can't be friends. 😂
@@jamiemacdonald436 Amen!
Love this!
Ray Charles:
Hit The Road Jack!
👍🏻
Yes!
Please!!!
makes me think of mr. floppy 😂😂😂

@@RoadDoug Oh yeah!
Oh wow, I was wondering why it sounded familiar. Now I can't get the image of Rudy out of my head singing that part! LOL
@@jeannieschmidt2217that ain't even what this is about your tarnishing this review
Two words: "Cosby Show".....I guess Jay & Amber are even too young to remember this Cosby episode! lol J & A watch the rerun. Good reaction!
They weren't born yet.
Love this!! I always remember this from The Cosby Show! It was too funny!!
That was Margie Hendrix singing. She was one of the Raelettes, his backup singers and was also in love with Ray Charles. They were breaking up around the time this song was recorded; thus the pain in her voice. Great song❤🎶🎼
Regina King played her in the movie!!
According to the movie they broke up around the recording of "Hit The Road Jack".
I immediately shout it out "Margie Huxtable" !!!
They weren't breaking up around the time of this song. This was 1958 and it was actually his first song with the Raylettes. She had his baby in 1959 and the affair continued though it began to deteriorate after the baby was born because she wanted him to leave his wife. She began drinking and using herion heavily. He threw her out of the Raylettes after a violent arguement in 1964.
@@EimelGilbert I know and she was fantastic in that role.

I know they've done Georgia already, but all those are great suggestions. Classics for sure. 👍
"Georgia On My Mind" is my FAVOURITE by him, but "Unchain My Heart" is also absolutely excellent (& "Hit the Road Jack" is a great one too.)
R.I.P To A Great Singer Songwriter Ray Charles, Still Miss You
The movie Ray is awesome. This song is unforgettable.
I'm always shocked that basically nobody has seen that movie. I also don't think there's a single reaction of it on RUclips. Just sad. Absolutely phenomenal movie that was completely lost to time. People just don't care about this kinda stuff anymore.
Most people in your age range are fans of Jamie Foxx, so I'm surprised you hadn't seen his best work "Ray".
such a good movie! It's on RUclips for free, woke up and it was playing lol
I actually own a copy and still haven’t seen it yet. I’ll have to correct that soon.
Apparently nobody under the age of 35 has seen that movie, or even knows it exists. It's really quite sad. It's honestly one of the best biographical movies out there. Its phenomenal. I just don't understand why people don't know about it, and don't watch it. Criminal really.
Ray Charles was a Legend!!! "Hit the Road Jack (and don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more)"
Always love it when he says, "Sing your song, Margie" - and she DOES :)
Marjorie Hendrix (sometimes Hendricks) (March 13, 1935 - July 14, 1973)[1] was an American rhythm and blues singer and founding member of the Raelettes, who were the backing singers for Ray Charles,

Not enough jazz on here.
Yes! Ray Charles month! 😍
Marjorie Hendrix is the second singer... and she was UPSET. They had a turbulent relationship.
Actually Margie was upset when they recorded "Hit the Road Jack". When they showed that part in "Ray", I screamed!!!!😂😂😂😂
"What'd I Say", " Mess Around ", " Unchain My Heart" are all great songs to check out.
Every home should have a copy of "Ray Charles' Greatest Hits". "What'd I Say" parts 1 & 2 is a jumpin' little song. ☮💜🎶
🎶 ' tell your mama, tell your pa, gonna send you back to Arkansas ' 🎶
It might sound familiar if you ever watched The Cosby Show. The family lip syncs/performs this songs for Cliff’s parents for one of their wedding anniversaries. If you haven’t seen it, you can find it on RUclips.
One of Ray's earliest hits, "The Mess Around" shows off his piano prowess and dynamite vocals! You can't go wrong with Brother Ray!
Ray's greatest double album from 1962, it was the 1st album that I bought and the greatest album ever recorded; "I Can't Stop Loving You", "You Win Again", "You Don't Know Me", "Take These Chains From My Heart", "Born To Lose", "Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)", "Half As Much"... Ray Charles grew up in Florida playing Hank Williams & Country Music :) The albums are "Modern Sounds of Country& Western Music", if you could have but one album, THIS IS IT :)
That is the late great singer Mary Hendrix doing the solo unfortunately she died way too soon at the age of 38 in 1973 😢
I met Ray Charles in the first class section of an air flight. I noticed him right off because he was guided on by his son and entire entourage of burly guys in suits. After the flight started I went up to one of the men and asked if I could speak to Mr. Charles for a minute, as a big fan. He said absolutely not, but as I was turning around, Ray said "I always want a nice word. Let that boy come over here."
I know everyone in their 40s or older are thinking about the Cosby Show when we hear this.
The movie is Ray with Jamie Foxx. If he didn't win an Oscar for that he should have!
Jamie actually won an Oscar for Best Actor for that movie and it was well-earned... He should've also won Best Supporting Actor for the movie "Collateral" he did with Tom Cruise that came out the same year... He may have been the 1st actor to have won both Oscars on the same night... But, we're all glad that Jamie won for "Ray" (which is in my top 3 of all-time favorite movies 🎬)
Oh he did win best actor Oscar, the British BAFTA, SAG, and Golden Globe for the role.
He did win the oscar
More Ray Charles ! Mess Around, Hit The Road Jack and What'd I Say
Watch the movie, it explains the back up singers and ALL THAT DRAMA that went with that. It should be a movie you do soon. "RAY" is the name
The woman singing with Ray is Margie Hendrix (no relation to Jimi) one of "the Raelettes, Rays backup singers. Now check out Creedence Clearwater's version. The Animals also did a version on their debut album.
Ray Charles is a vibe. 😎
I remember this from a Cosby Show episode.
Lots of great music from Ray Charles. He was the first to combine the rhythm of gospel music with the raunch of the blues. If you haven't, see the biopic Ray with Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. Epic.
Ray Charles and Billy Joel, Baby Grand. Listen to it, love it.
Yes, you should watch "Ray". Jaime Foxx nailed the role. Also check out the Cosby Show clip of when the lip sync this song.... so funny.😂
"WHAT I'D SAY" GREAT SONG "I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU" My mom & dad's song.❤❤❤❤❤
Try "Hide Nor' Hair", "Yes Indeed", "Hallelujah, I Love Her So", and my personal favorite from Ray is "You Are My Sunshine".
I remembered hearing this originally on a classic episode of The Cosby Show (1984-92); it was an episode that had the Huxtables celebrating the wedding anniversary of Cliff's parents. Twenty years later, I heard it again in Ray (2004); in the scenes with Jamie Foxx playing this song and the producers were unsure if it should go on his album.

Only be followed up with that same song when he was on SNL. ❤
"What'd I Say" is my favorite Ray Charles song 🎵
I love noting the differences between the performances of What’d I Say based upon the censors and dispositions of whatever television program that they were on. Sometimes, the interchanges between Ray and the background singers sounded quite chaste; other times, I’m, not so much.
That song makes me think of John Belushi.❤
A lot of people remember this from the Cosby show, I remember it because my grandparents played it
Cosby Show. Go offff Rudy.
Ray Charles - I believe to my soul has always been a favourite!
Love Ray Charles’s music.
Ray Charles created soul music.
Ray is the godfather of rhythm and blues. This song changed everything!
I grew up on this music. My mom and dad would dance to Ray Charles music on Friday and Saturday nights in the mid to late 60's. His music brings back memories of when I was a child. Thank for playing his music.
Is my Favorite song of his, when Margie sings it’s so so powerful I love love love every second of her beautiful voice ❤❤❤
Hearing this song brings back memories of hearing it on The Cosby Show and the youngest daughter Rudy lip synching the Baby part.
Ray Charles crossed musical genres with ease.
My favorite Ray Charles song....
RAY CHARLES & BILLY JOEL DUET “Baby Grand”. 👍🥂
I recall dancing and singing to this with my Dad- great times, fabulous music! Marjorie Hendrix of his Raylettes sang the MESS as his backups. ✌️❤️
Two tracks by Ray Charles which I recommend are:
"I Don't Need No Doctor",
"Hit The Road Jack".
"ONE DROP OF LOVE" by Ray Charles (from his "MY WORLD" album, released in 1993...) is a must!
Actually, the whole album is fabulous!
Ray Charles =Father of Soul music
Ray Charles has a duet with Billy Joel called Baby Grand which would be a good song to react to. He also had an album called Genius Loves Company on which every song was a duet with another famous artist. Any song off that album would be worthy of a reaction.
One of the high points of my life is seeing Ray Charles Live. He was an old man, but still KILLED it!
His version of You Are My Sunshine is AMAZING !
Ray Charles playing drums is amazing
My favorite Ray Charles song! 💖
"America The Beautiful" is a Ray Charles song you GOTTA hear!
Greatest rendition ever.
Should be Americas Nat anthem.
Need to do his rendition of God Bless America ❤
CCR does a version of this song. John Fogerty's vocals are outstanding! Not to take away from Ray Charles' always excellent vocalizing.
Agreed, both versions are stellar and just recently, I found on RUclips the Righteous Brothers doing this song with Darlene Love and the Blossoms doing back up on Shindig. That was a real treat!
He was nicknamed "The Genuis" for a reason. One of the greats.
What is not to love about Ray Charles! What an incredible artist he was. Pure soul!
One of my top 5 songs by Ray Charles. This is the music of my childhood.
Thanks for getting back to this great pioneer! A lot of soul and pop and even rock was built around Ray's "rockhouse" groove. Other fabulous Ray Charles classics to check out include "Hit the Road Jack," "Let's Go Get Stoned," "I've Got a Woman," and of course the all-time classic "What'd I Say," parts I and II. And one more: The beautiful love ballad "Come Rain or Come Shine."
I was very fortunate to see Ray Charles in concert. It was like watching a piece of music history.
Ray is the best of the best!! RIP Ray Charles!!
Hearing that I just realized that Ray was THE voice of the blues for my parent’s generation.
My parents too, I remember the Columbia House Music Club, buy one album get 12 free. They joined the club and my first introduction to music and vinyl was Ray Charles, The Platters, Dave Brubeck(jazz), Nancy Wilson and others. I loved the music, the violins made, such a beautiful sound.
Ray Charles was one of the greats in R&B and over all great entertainer. RIP
Creedence Clearwater Revival covered this song. Worth a listen!
Creedence’s version is awesome; but then everything they did was awesome!
Nice. You went back to the 50s for some more much deserved Ray Charles. Great cover. CCR also did a great cover several years later that I think you will enjoy. Some more core Ray songs that I don't think you have done yet are What'd I Say, Hit The Road Jack and America The Beautiful.
Has there ever been a cooler artist than Ray Charles?
Who else hears this and thinks of Rudy on the Cosby Show?
Baby!
😂😂😂
This has always been my absolute favorite Ray Charles song. It was also my parents favorite.
Have you done "I Can't Stop Loving You"? Also a great tune. Thanks for this one!
Great track by Ray , he has done some great tracks . Another one is 'I can't stop loving you'-Colin Ward
Bay-baaay 😂
Absolutely -- please do more Ray Charles! He is a legend ❤
If u guys haven’t checked out “mess around” by Ray Charles u will really really enjoy it. It’s a little more fast paced and a lot of fun!!!

I was fortunate to see Ray once. I was standing about 10 feet from the stage. Great experience!
One of my favorite Ray Charles songs is "Greenbacks". It's one of his earliest records with Atlantic.
In the early 90's I was in Dallas for a company training. The last night they brought in Ray for a concert. I was not going to go, I was thinking I don't want to see old Ray Charles.

Love this song!! A classic. But all of Ray Charles' songs are.

1. Hit The Road Jack
2. Unchain My Heart
3. What'd I Say (parts 1 and 2)
4. I've Got A Woman
5. Lonely Avenue
6. Crying' Time
Listen to Busted, I Can't Stop Loving You, What I Say the full version, Born To Lose and Still Crazy After All These Years. They are all great songs.
CCR does a version of this as well,that might be where you heard it before.
Ray Charles and Billy Joel "Baby Grand"
