Absolutely! Spot on.
HE'S HITTING THE ROAD
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
The way he moves his body, his feet, his hands to catch the rhythm and tempo is next level.
What a legend he is
Also blind yet doesn't lose track of his surroundings, knocking the piano or mic, so much to it. Amazin!
yes friend
Love this. ❤❤❤
El era adicto a una droga de la cual le dejo como secuela ese movimiento en el cuerpo
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!

@@lysosommike That is an extreme misquote. You got the sentiment, but you got a hell of a lot of the words wrong.
@@ogvamp2 Stolen? 😂
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
And 8 years later he died in peace.
Everyone, promise me, never to forget this legend!
He's been living his life and he put a smile on all our faces with his music.
I just love seeing this man smiling and playing the piano, enjoying what he's doing!
LONG LIVE RAY CHARLES!
shut up
I promise you 😢
💯 such an iconic legend of R&B
It's MEN. LEGEND.
Es un rey de la musica
“She gon open….. I was wrong as hell” 😂😂😂 forever a legend. He lives on
Me trying to sleep:
My brain: *Ray's happy ass singing* "HIT THE ROAD JACK"
Hit the road jack :v not only me.
I felt the same way
I wanted to sleep and had to think about this song
😄
I listened to it directly
hahahah 😂
MrSbib best comment I’ve ever read anywhere
The song is catchy as hell
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
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
They’re all gone now. All the real icons and giants of rock’n’roll.
We won’t see anything like them again.
True :(
Be Positive, hope is what we need for the next generation to learn.
Ed Sheeran?
@@asburystanI love ed Sheeran but he’s not on this level of music. Music is so different these days to badk them, and this is coming from a millennials 😅
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.
If this isn’t playing at my funeral, am not even coming

Not me 4 sure
It's amazing how he's able to casually tell a story while playing piano
That's kinda how art works
also note the rythmic games he plays. and the accent is killer anyways

playing and singing perfectly is true talent.

you dont need your eyes to sing, and most people don't look at the instrument while playing anyways

What a legend he was even while living. I seriously value Mr Ray Charles, his career and outstanding medley’s. 💯💕💃
Best singer
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.

The one and only. I got to see him in concert at the Kennedy Center in DC that year at the on a school trip. Loved it. RIP Ray.
He was so damn good, RIP Ray. You were one of the greats.

So good S2
insane
Crazy!
It's falsetto
It's falsetto, not really difficult at that age (at any age xd)
If I can just have 10% of Ray's talent I'd be the happiest man alive.
Not in this world you wouldn't ..
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.
Talent is all well and good, but it takes a lot of work and talent does not make you happy!
You we gott IT! A while in reď.
You v got talent fór a sleeo, And walking, talking ,,dancing & singing fór yourself.
