I fell into tears watching this historic night of perfection! really? 1993? The sound quality was not what I expected for the 90's. Incredible exact! orchestra arrangement by Roger Neumann. This particular rendition has released a spiritual realm.
Get it Mr. Charles. I was not one to listen to your music as a child; but, as i get older I understand it more and more. One of the greats has come and gone. RIP Ray Charles.
I had the privilege of seeing Ray Charles in concert in 1984. And thank God I did! He breathed new life into this song and “Some Enchanted Evening,” as well as so many other old standards, by completely re-arranging them and making them swing harder. I’m all smiles and elation listening to this!
Was this at Knebworth? I saw him there and it was the first time I heard him sing this, what a fantastic arrangement, recently I discovered that his entire performance was on RUclips, happy memories.
@@phyllispetras3821 Roger wrote a lot of charts for Ray. They were all this good, and they were much fun to play. Loved Roger as a writer and has a human.
Amazing... He was simply a musical genius! The best part is at 3:45, we are feeling it right along with you, sir! RIP Thank you, Lord, for sending this man and his amazing gift for music into the world!
Yes. Thank you Zeus or Osiris or The Flying Spaghetti Monster... for being assigned credit for the hard work and personal development that this particular talent managed all by himself.

And That was a pretty lame comment.... He makes a swing for sure! But that was never a lame song. You’re Just a lame person....As a matter of fact you’re a freaking idiot.

Arrangement by Roger Neumann
OttoLink10 i was wonderin
OttoLink10 After Ray sang it, Nobody gave a shit who the original arrangement was by.
Is it published and available to buy?
Killer arrangement. And this is one of Ray's most beautiful performances of it.
anyone know what that chord at 0:24 and 1:13 is?
😎
see his legs
That is how he conducted, especially on ballads😊
The king is dead.
this was a pretty lame song, and he makes it SWING
And That was a pretty lame comment.... He makes a swing for sure! But that was never a lame song. You’re Just a lame person....As a matter of fact you’re a freaking idiot.
He did that a lot
A bit too much virb . Not like the original and he doesn't need virb
Just like you don’t need to comment if you ain’t got anything to offer. We don’t need your reverberation on the comment section.
Other artists’ versions of this song put me to sleep. Ray’s version wakes me up! Amazing energy!
