Who’s here in 2024!
may the second of 2024
I am! And so is the spirit of Ray! Yes!
I’m here 2024, may 8
may 16
Ray Charles is!
For 2024, Who Is enjoing this beauty?
What a legend. This is not just music, this is art. He was a real artist.
Music is art!!!
so true
Weirdly while I was going to class I was literally thinking of what you just wrote
Amen to that!
Tomas.
You are 100% correct.
And, do you realize that some of the greatest artists in music history, turned the lyrics of others into critically acclaimed masterpieces.
Do you understand that?
Because millions of low IQ weak minded sheep don't.
Ella Fitzgerald, Ray charles, Frank Sinatra and elvis presley are the greatest artists in music history because they did the most difficult thing in music. Turning the lyrics of another writer into a critically acclaimed masterpiece. THAT is true artistry and genius.
If anyone doesn't understand what I just said, you need serious education.
This generation needs to discover Ray…….he’s just an American icon.
World icon
Absolutely!!!!!!!!
My mother died a few days 💔,just listening to this song gives so much strength.Thank you Lord Jesus
It's 2023, and still gets my heart stirred by Ray's voice in a very haunted way. Your music lives in so many people's hearts and memories. Ray, RIP ❤
Mundialmente ❤(Sou do Brasil)
eu aqui em 2024
It's 2022 . I'm still loving Ray. I'm age 64 , I've loved him since I was a small child.
He's playing in time for eternity
I'm 32 (damn half your age) and he's been an inspiration since I can remember starting to play the piano at 12.
Me I remember when I was a little boy my mom would listen to Mr Ray Charles.
I'm right there with you. Been listening to Ray since the early 60's.
@David Hott It’s now the 3rd of January 2023, and I’m listening to Ray, AGAIN! This has been the “Song of my night.” I’ve listened to others sing this, but always come back to the BEST, Ray. I’ve listened to this man since I was about 5; now 66. My Aunt Glenna LOVED RAY, so I started listening to him at a very early age. I’ve LOVED HIM for at least 60 Years! No one will ever surpass Ray in this genre. Happy New Year!
One of the biggest regrets in my life is that I had a chance to go see Ray Charles for free and didn't go because I just figured I would catch him later because I was going to be busy that weekend. What a natural talent and national treasure he was.
For 2020 a question, who's loving and listening to Brother Ray!!!
Rite here rite now❤
Me. LOVING IT ℞ for my Soul.
Right here baby!!🗽🍵🙏
I listen to Ray any chance I get
right here !
I was surprised to learn this was not a Ray Charles original.
Kudos to Leon Russell. He sure knew the theory and practice of songwriting better than most.
Donnie Hathaway's version Ain't No Joke either.
When I see a thumbs down because someone didn't like this song my brain can not process that way of thinking. How in the world could anyone hear this song and have a negative comment?
Pushed the wrong button
I Love Ray Charles! and he does a nice rendition of Leon's Russell masterpiece. RIP Ray, we miss you!
2024 still I can’t move on away from Ray Charles
Ray may not be immortal... But his songs and his renditions will live forever... Thank You Ray :)
The song belongs to donny Hathaway
But leon saw it all.
Ray lives for eternity.in a place. No time or space.
@@jillsmcfarland2001
No.
Leon wrote great lyrics. But Ray charles turned those lyrics into a critically acclaimed masterpiece.

It's 2021 and I still get goosebumps. This guy's light will never go out, I dare say, that no one will be able to overcome this legend
Agree
Everything is said there, and so well said !
Yes the hairs stand up on my body when he his amazing voice that's the truth
Conhecia ele já mas nunca parei pra escutar as músicas dele, fui começar a ouvir recentemente, um erro do caramba, além de cantar bem pra caramba e tocar absurdamente bem ele tem uns covers perfeitos que chega a parecer que as músicas foram compostas por ele. F Ray
Amen. Brilliantly stated.

I sooooo much needed to this today; I'll see you when you get here Brother 😘
I haven't physically seen my brother in over 25 yrs and he's coming down to see me ; this blessing that I'm receiving shows me that my Higher Power is Awesome and knows no time like the present and Ploop there's your miracle.
"I've spent my life in stages, with 10,000 people watching me. But we're alone now, I'm singing my song for you" Man that line hits hard, and you can tell he's got someone or something very particular on his mind when he sings it. There's just nobody like Ray.... nobody.
Ray you were the greatest my favorite artist of all times
May Allah all mighty bestow peace & mercy on your soul my friend
Yeah… his friend willie
some artists just existed, Ray Charles lived.
and still alive and well in the hearts of many....
@@onemorew Does anyone share that memory with me when he was playing live in concert in August 1997 on Long Island?

Anyone who doesn't understand this reality, needs serious education.
Leon Russel wrote this beautiful song, but no one sings it like Ray.
The Carpenters.....close 2nd
only donny hathaway sang it better than everybody
Donny
Ecoute aussi la version de Donny hathaway.
Doranda Colbert This version of Ray's is great, but Karen Carpenter's is the best.
I miss him. Remember how he beautifully coloured "We are the world"
OCTOBER 2, 2023 @ 11:57 pm.. STILL LISTENING TO IT …THIS WILL FOREVER BE A TIMELESS CLASSIC PERFORMANCE… I WILL FOREVER LOVE THIS …
Ray Charles was a great pioneer. RIP Legend (1930-2004).
Thank Leon Russel for this beautiful song. RIP Leon.
He writes the lyrics. But Ray turned it into a masterpiece.
Leon wrote it. But Leon's recording falls short of Ray's masterpiece.
Learn that.
@@bradhuskers still give credit to my man russel. he was so underrated. :C
@bradhuskers damn.arrogant.these are both great versions and don't forget Donnie Hathaway. LearnTHAT!
Thank you Ray and Leon ❤
“I spent my life in stages with 10k ppl watching me”🙏🏽When Ray puts his hands on his cheeks, it shows how pure and soulful he is. It brings me to tears. His voice just says it all for this song. I truly believe he is singing this song for me. Thank you Ray Charles for inspiring me as a musician and to never stop performing
I think Ray is touched by the song and Donny's memory. Donny Hathaway passed away in 1997 when this was recorded.
@@d.g.s.4121 Leon Russell wrote this...Ray sings it better than anyone ever will.
@@doreendiggins620 No to diminish the late, great Ray Charles, but I also liked the Temptations version.
He is blind. It was irony with the lyrics...10k people watchin me- he cant see them back.. And Donny Hathaway died in 79 after a studio session with Roberta Flack. Someone skillfully removed the safety glass in his room and killed him. Very doubtful he did that by himself. Donny was silenced.
This song it's a Donny's Hattaway song, who died when he had only 33 years Old in 1979, this brilliant musician sing with Aretha Franklin and Roberta Flack in the 70's, this pianoman have an indtrumental theme "the gueto" very well music. Just find him and his short but important production of many songs like "were is the love".
even members of the band are crying, what a pleasure it must have been to have played alongside Ray
tears of joy
Where do you see band members crying, kuz I only see people wiping sweat from their face...
My name is Bubba I'm 74 years old I love Ray Charles all my life
Amazes me how many times he takes his hands off the keyboard and then goes right back perfectly w/o seeing them.
Give a hit if you here in 7/2020. 🥺This song make me feel so sad.🥴😭Ray can sing.
NO ONE could ever sing this love ballad better than Ray .
Pure platinum gold. 💯💎💯💛
Ummm Donny Hathaway
Ray, Donny, and Leon...all 3 are up there!
Donny....
Donny and Ray....both amazing...both 100% perfect...and hey Leon wrote it...all 3 were Gifts for our Souls
Donny Hathaway and Whitney Houston also did a good job of this too. I love all 3 of them when it comes to singing this song right here, mannnn!! Gives me goosebumps. Pull up the one with Whitney singing it live.
Growing up in the Midwest, in the 60’s, I remember my racist hillbilly dad telling me how good Ray Charles was. Yes, he was.
and when my life is over.... remember when we were together....we were alone ...and I was singing my song to you......
2022 and it's still a banger. This will be one of those timeless songs that will never get old.
Ray is a true exceptional artist that only comes along once every thousand years. Thank you Ray for the wonderful music
How lucky we are to see this live performance. Ray has grey hair but proves himself as one of the greatest vocalists of all time. In fact he is one who sounds as good live as he does recorded! What I find comprehendible about Ray, and the other greats, is how he can accurately keep in time when he wants to but his best is to stray from the time. Keep in time and express otherwise; that's blues. Ray is the blues and soul great!
That performance was great and few singers can keep their voices after 60 or 70 years. However, we have same performance in Arab culture and this is rarely happened even at this time .
This is gold. It will never get old.
One of the most gifted singer of all times!!!!!! Love you Ray Charles
for me Ray Charles , Cab Calloway , Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin was maybe my best singers I ever heard . I love maybe all of they songs. (found Ray Charles because movie Blues Brothers , since then I started love jazz and electro swing . its soo great to relaxing , while driving or to reading . )
You will always be in my heart ray as long as I'm still alive ...Leon if it wasn't because of you I wouldn't have known this song...
My father took Mom to this festival at their 2nd date..I was born one year later :) thank you Ray Charles
cute
😂
@@zazngbob is it??😹😹
This reflects the human condition, human relationships. We mess up. We struggle with our own demons. And if we are lucky, we see through our own pain and learn how to love in a pure, vulnerable and precious way❤
Beautifully put Cheryl. Surprisingly I was prompted to listen to this beautiful work tonight and came across your review. You must be on the same page as Ray as this song and your review strike the same response in me. I've had a very hard day and now I feel it's worth the struggle. Thankyou to you both .
He sounds like a saxophone 😳 what a tone
Such a great, incredible great artist. Wherever you are, thank you Ray for blessing our world with your voice.
Let me explain something.
The greatest artists in music history, turned the words of another, into critically acclaimed masterpieces.
That's exactly what Ray is doing here and on other classics.
The most difficult thing in music, is the ability to turn another's words into critically acclaimed masterpieces.
Ella Fitzgerald, Ray charles, Frank Sinatra and elvis presley did just that on numerous occasions.
They are iconic artists. The best of the best.
Anyone who doesn't understand this, needs serious education.
I totally agree with you 🥺
No one alive today that can hold a candle to Ray. This song is so tragically beautiful
평생동안 아주 많은 곳을 다녔었지 노래도 많이 불렀고 별로 좋지도 않는 노래도 만들었고 내인생을 무대에서 보냈지 수않은 사람들이 잦아왔었지만 우리는 지금 홀로있고 이노래를 당신을(아리스) 위해 부르고 있습니다
중간생략
내가 머물 공간이나 시간이 없더라도 나는 당신을 사랑합니다 당신은 나의친구이기 때문에 당신을 평생 사랑합니다 내인생이 끝이 났을때 우리가 같이 했던 것을 기억해주세요
우리는 홀로였고 나는 당신을 위해 노래를 불렀다는 것을 《당신을 위한 노래》;레이찰스 호중님이 보낸 맘이네요 오늘밤 잠못드는 밤이 될것같아요 💜💜💜
호중님의 맘이 고스라이 전달되어 오네요~
sory i dont speck stick men
I completly agree with this such good comment. I don't understand but I.. I don't know any more.
이렇게 설명해 주시니 감사합니다 호중별님추천으로듣는데 맘으로 느끼고 있었네요
와 해석까지 팬카페 분들을 위해 멋져요👍
I cried my eyes out on the day he passed. My dad looked like him so double reminder. Love the whole of his music gold and diamond to my ears
You will never know Ray how I miss you
Ella Fitzgerald, frank Sinatra, Ray charles and elvis presley, are THE iconic artists of all time.
Please add Judy Garland
I’ve only just found ray charles and damn he doesn’t disappoint
The lyrics, "I love you in a place where there is no space or time" Best ever written IMHO to describe the emotion we call love.
I Love this song, it has a special place in my heart❤. Can I ask you a question please?@Grandraplady
A Leon Russell song--a simple Oklahoma country lad. R.I.P. Leon.
saw Leon @ the Fillmore East many, many years ago. Oh My What a Great Show.
Danny song first
@@KickBack707 no
@@carolingian5736 yes
It's true. Ray never sang. He just spoke how he felt. Legend.
To me, he's more than a legend. I miss him and always will. I feel so fortunate to have his music to live in me. Wish I hade known him personally, I guess alot of us might feel that way. What a treasure for America to have his music which will be available for generations yet to come. He lives on.
Hi,how are you doing?
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song, mm
Singing this song to you
What a brilliant song by Leon Russell
the thing is, most of his songs aren't really intsrumentally complex or something. but the passion behind it is what makes it so incredibly beautiful. thats what makes him one of the greatest artists in music history
Yes, is a lot great singers but he is absolutely exceptional. One only with his voice, and his expression. It is what have great artists, geniuses - never will be outdated. NEVER.

For Ray to sing this Leon Russel song combines everything that is perfect for me . Lets all remember both of them tonight .
Dam, if I can go back to see one person live it would be the great Ray!!
As of today there is 296 dislikes. I would like for someone who gives this a thumbs down to explain what's not to like. Ray Charles was one of the greatest artists to have ever walked on planet earth. EVERYTHING he did was just pure genius!!
Thankfully, no thumbs on the internet can or will affect Ray or his memory or the heritage he left. This thumbs sht just doesn't matter.
@@merryprawn Amen! You are exactly right.
God bless you for uploading this. I've been looking for this exact version for years. Thank you so much!

Como que alguém que não encherga desde criança se transforma no maior músico da história só pode ser coisa de Deus mesmo obrigado Rey!!!!!
É sim coisa de DEUS, O SENHOR é perfeito em tudo que planifica.
Porque música se faz, sobretudo, com os ouvidos.
He sang without compromise. He didn't step on the brakes. Ray busted the gate open and his soul flowed through his voice. That and cocaine. Legendary.
Yes, yes go on forever in our true hearts,souls and minds.....you will live forever ♥️♥️♥️👴🏽✊🏾🙏🏽
Ray Charles is without question the most talented, born to lead all entertaining and musical personality

Totally agree
Leon Russell
Brilliant ….a true legend ❤️ heartfelt music 😌
Ray Charles singing Leon Russell's song! I am blessed to have lived in a time when titans like these performed for the people!
So many good covers of this Leon Russell classic.
But Ray Charles certainly does a powerful version of it.
Love the piano solo, just great playing and amazing vocals. Wish I could have attended one of these shows.
The good ol days when musicians sweated there ass off , moved in amazing ways to the tune , goosebumps and chills everytime . Legend , what a masterpiece
There is only 1 Ray Charles when he sings and plays piano there is no space and time. The greatest soulman ever!!!!

A escala inicial que o Ray Charles faz na introdução já remete a alma ao descampado deserto do universo! É absurdo.
Pure art. Difficult to put into words what it feels to listen to Ray.Superb !
Hi,how are you doing?
RAY BRO, STILL IN 2022 RIP❤ AND VERY THANKS
Ouvir, ver a grandiosidade de Ray Charles me levou a adolescência, embalada pelas suas performances maravilhosas. Um imortal que não merece cair no esquecimento, cuja obra deve ser reverenciada e exaltada, além de apresentada a todos que não viveram aquela época áurea da música mundial.Saudade.
Ray is a true genius... This song touch me so deep... I dedicated to my wife.
Donny Hathaway. This is a remake of his song, listen to it, you and your wife will thank me. And, I love Ray!
@@toddhurlbert1528 Donny version is the best, but the song was written by leon Russell
There shall never be another ray ...thanks god I saw you in 1979 when I was in exile in Lesotho Maseru national stadium ...I remember it was cold ...but hey who cared...
I love this song, touches my heart strings ❤
He is not bound to our visual world, so he has some extra degrees of freedom and expression.
Absolutely Beautiful, glad I found this version 😍
Ray was awesome. He has seen more more than 90% of the folks with 20/20 vision will ever see.

I'm still listening to MR RAY CHARLES SONGS the man was a "GENIUS AT THE MUSIC" he created and is still honered as a MUSICAL MAGICIAN at his time I still 💘 LOVE HIS MUSIC it's a story behind it.
When you watch him in person and if you know music and see how he arranges the music he plays with the Orchestra Then you will see why they called him A GENIUS!!!!!!!!
