Absolutely! Spot on.
HE'S HITTING THE ROAD
This is the happiest person I've ever seem in my life.
In no way did he have a "happy" life simplistically speaking. Takes something special to persevere though
@@jaedenrotondo3373 heroin for exapmle. He was an adict for so long, but at the end he got through it.
@@StudioGuitarra ah yes, I found out about this in the movie entitled "Ray". Would recommend if u haven't seen it already :)
True
Its a shame he couldnt see if you are a happy person
The fact that he was blind and still
playing and singing perfectly is true talent.
I mean, being blind lets your other senses get stronger
@@RivalHades-mk1xl Matt Murdock agrees
@@theexodus539 haha thats so funny!
you dont need your eyes to sing, and most people don't look at the instrument while playing anyways
I can sing without looking at my mouth.....
2024!!! Anyone?!?! He still a legend after 20 years!!!
Incredible lesson !
he's still a legend after 75 years
here we are from PERÚUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
❤❤❤❤
Damn yeah!
he was not singing..
he was just enjoying.....
Thanks for all the likes..
Stay home stay safe be healthy 🙏❤️
Wow great word👌
No man he was singing and enjoying it at the same time. Crazy right that you can do something and enjoy it.
@@TheAdekrijger yes ur right bro
Hell yeah
Just as music was intended to be
he's not even singing he's straight up vibing with a piano
Exactly! The Red singers Shine!
What about it?
@Foryea Evans yeah, and?
@Foryea Evans well, he's alive in the video, so your logic must be fucked up cuz
he was singing, wtf you just need to watch the lips to understand if he was singing or not
Ray is famous for saying "the worst thing about being blind
is that you cant see anything"!
😂😂😂
That hits you where you live
Uno G Ray also said he has never seen “p”, but I know what it is!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i didn't know that he was blind.
Just figured it out that he meant beside being blind and cant see anything, you are in good hand, you can do everything you like if you have the will for it. Took me 2 weeks to understand it. How stupid.
“She gon open….. I was wrong as hell” 😂😂😂 forever a legend. He lives on
I saw him once when he was getting pretty old. He was led to the piano, as usual to his lack of sight, but he wasn't having an easy time walking and seemed pretty frail. But once he started playing and singing, it's like he lit up and was a like a young man again.
that's beautiful but sad at the same time :(
Happy for a blind guy
@@James-dn6wy guarantee you he experienced more in this world than you ever will.
@@trippsmclovin we both know your a sad loser like all who have profile of cats haha. Don't project your low quality of life onto others haha.
It's not related, but years ago when I worked in a care home I saw something similar. Those people were in such bad condition, but after getting glass of wine suddenly back to life.
I miss his charisma and charm. Look at this performance. It must have been amazing to be with such a legendary human.
why are you everywhere i look
I like it

This world is not meant for exceptions like Mr Charles.
He was far too kind, far too good to be in this world as we know it.
People like Ray Charles would be far more appreciated about 120 years back
He had his demons, a childhood trauma and a severe drug addiction that he battle for a long time.

My God, what a legend, he tweaks and changes his lyrics versions every time he sings it, and every time is better. Makes it even look easy.
This dude rocked... I've loved him for 40 odd years. remember the music when I was 10...saw I'm live in 1995
For a moment I misread that as 2005 and was baffled.
Wait you're the guitarist paul nelson?
40 even years :/
I was born in 1995, never had the chance to see him live. Music was soooo much better during his time.
This sounds like it was recorded in the studio. It’s just insane to me how they is not even trying and it just sounds so good.
Smooth, real old school musician. A performance is just another rehearsal that happens to have a crowd. Do again tomorrow even better.
That is the skill! Practice your craft so much until it looks effortless. I bet a lot of rehearsals made the performance look like they’re not even trying on the night!
They are professionals unlike the posers these days
He not trying cuz he too busy vibing 😂
From my experience, when you are that free spirited and creative, music just starts to flow out of you, voice is unforced
R.I.P Ray, thanks for all your talent and contributions that you made to this world....much much more than many of us "clear seeing" people

Ray Charles est un monument..incontournable..la musique ne serait pas la même sans lui.
La performance de margie hendrix est tout simplement extraordinaire....quelle voix !
Quelle emotion dans cette chanson...
This performance by Ray Charles & Company is pure genius!😃 I don't think there are many artists that could introduce a setting, experience and story behind the song like Ray can with that type of character. Highly interactive, circular-like social dynamics here; you have the band, the singers, Ray & the crowd providing feedback which create the whole ambience rather than the stage versus the audience. Ray was having a lot of fun here too, with his smile saying, "I still know what I'm doing, it's alright." We love you Ray Charles, RIP. ❤
We love you, Ray ray !
Brilliantly said..its a true masterclass
No matter what was going on in his personal life, Ray was always able to bring a spark of joy and hope to his audience.

I wonder if performing was made easier for him due to the fact he couldn't see the crowds. Maybe that's why he was always so chill with interrupting a performance in the middle.
When he first started he smoked weed to stop his anxiety
The only thing that probably get easier is that you don't judge on views and never have always a different first impression. Also i guess usually you don't express emotions that open, because anxiety, but he doesn't care, even when people laugh he could never see it...
Can you have a fear of public speaking/performing if you are blind?? Genuine question
@@fauxdauteur They can probably hear the amount of ppl so yea, I think they can
