I agree. I was blessed to be in attendance at a private event circa 1998 where Ray and a 3 piece combo performed for a very small audience, maybe 75 people. He opened with "I Got A Woman" and was on fire. He never let that energy drop. No Raylettes, just 3 kick ass musicians and Ray performing as if it was their first show. I was transfixed on them the entire time. Breathtakingly good.
Back in the day, '78 or so... when I was a youngster... Bobby Caldwell fooled me. What you won't do... do for love. You tried everything and you don't give up...
like an unearthly rumble that you could feel, windows in the sanctuary broke. It was other-worldly. It left an impression on me that lingered. I've never experienced that in any other church...EVER. In later years it helped me to understand why black music literally overtook the USA in the '50s, '60s and '70s with Jazz, Blues and Rock-n-Roll. It was just phenomenal and makes sense now that 411 is emerging in States that blacks are the Hebrews of Bible. This LIFE we live IS the Creator's show.
That very, very specific point in history when you could sing “was I gay” and it had enough double meaning for a slight grin but still mostly meant happy.
There isn't always a difference between black and white voices but at least 95% of the time i can tell the difference. If anything the black person will sound white i rarely hear white people that sound black
Dick Cavett was the shit but being born in 1980, the first time I ever saw him and heard that razor sharp voice was on A Nightmare on Elm Street 3! HORRIFIC!!!!
Can you tell if i am blk or white by how i speak? I know ppl who are blk that speak very well I’m glad i wasn't born during these times. How very insulting. ❤️Ray Charles
Elvis Costello was very mistaken, hence Elvis' music. There has ALWAYS been black music and dance vs. white music/dance in USA. This is truth. Dick Cavett wasn't bad and Ray Charles' voice is not a great black voice but it IS a black voice so it's going to be different from Dick Cavett's. But if you listen to Luther Vandross of Lou Rawls you'll get a more definitive difference.
Of course there IS a difference in singing/speaking voices, just like there is a difference in dance as there IS a difference in the ultimate distinction, LOOKS. I thought it was a little disingenuous of Johnnie Cochran to use that argument at the OJ trial since the whole USA music system is built on the difference between black and white sound, i.e., R&B charts vs. Rock or Country charts, etc. I remember as a child going to a black church where the minister sang. his voice was so deep and loud
I've been to hundreds of concerts and Ray Charles was the best by far. I was so blessed to see him.
copelarry I would’ve loved too but he passed when I was 8 years old. Didn’t get a chance. You’re so lucky!
@dayum son so do you
You verry lucky
You’re rich dawg

The moment Ray Charles starts singing = obvious genius.
Back when musicians could still perform live
Just to see him laugh with Dick and then suddenly shift into seriousness and get right into it. A true treat this is why RUclips is amazing😂.
Ray will always be my hero ----- miss you Ray
Legends never die💞💓💕💖
I just sat with a smile on my face the hole clip :) this is just lovely
you're lovely.
MrYourmomspimp this is not 9gag
9gag?
Ray was such a doll, what a guy
Ray Charles was so full of joy. Why can't we all be?
Rest in powerful peace Brother Ray 🙏

This is so great. Both of them are just amazing people and Dick Cavetts show is one of a kind
3:23 good gracious, Ray found the note immediately. Perfect pitch confirmed
Ray was such a kindred gentle spirit.
When Ray started singing, my soul left my body
What a treat for Dick Caveat. Ray was just the best...remarkable talent and heart.
Rest in peace Ray Charles and Kevin Conroy.
BAHAHAHAHA I love it when he holds his hand out for Ray to shake it and is like, "Oh wait... shit."
swordo21 LMAO hilarious tho 😂👏🏼
8 years later and it is still funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Kinda like when George W. Bush waved to brother Ray.
Ha spotted that too. Love it :)
😂😂😢😢 new found love for Ray watched this entire video
Now when Ray starts to sing seriously on 3:56 you just GOT to stop smiling and listen its amazing
Randy Newman must've watched this and said to himself "This is the Ray Charles I gotta bring Disney"
heh, I find it cool that ray kept playing and singing in the same key cavett started singing.
RIGHT!!!
That’s the key Ray always played it.
What a beautiful soul.
This is the kinda stuff that inspires me with my music 😊🎸🎤🎹
5:57 Dick Cavett spected him to give his hand but he is blind. it took 2 seconds to realize hhaha
I was in the audience that night
two great charmers goofing and having fun!
What a wonderful person Ray was. Dick had many great guests but this is one of the best!
Ray seems like such a kind person
Ray ...what a beautiful human being...
The best duet EVER!!
Never heard Cavett sang before. Thank God...
Mrggggg58 actually he is a fairly good singer. He was goofing here😆.
😂😂
Oh, I loved this..loved Ray....still do!!!!
Are we the only ones who liked this?????
It was nice seeing ray and the raylettes as they were in that moment
I have the DVD of the whole show, it is great
5:58 haha he went to shake his hand but ray Charles is blind, awkward haha
bammbii hahahahahahahahah
A habit I guess! LOL
Ray Charles ...so cool. smile
Back in the day, '78 or so... when I was a youngster... Bobby Caldwell fooled me. What you won't do... do for love. You tried everything and you don't give up...
Love Ray! Thank you for the video
Beautiful
When we got lost in the labels and groups we forget the individuals. This is a nice video.
Gotta love Ray Charles!
Beautiful!!!
I love this!!!
Great video.
1:14 I used that line one time in front of my parents and older brother.
Ray at his best!!!!!
How sweet is this?
RAY CHARLES GENIUS 🎹🎺🎷🎼🎵💙❤️💛🤎💚🧡💜🖤
This was so fun, I subscribed to this channel 2day, thank you 😎
I grew up at the right time.
You don`t know how much what you have said resinates with me.It is my prayer too.For real
This is cool!
Just a beautiful American heirloom

Rip Mr Charles
I knew Ray - he was also brilliant
Great moment... and what made Cavett "Cavett" was that he had the nerve of a burglar.
Very self-assured. Good parenting.
i think its appropriate to say that this was just grand.
Completely!
@@his_gurl3791 oh wow 11 years... I still stand by this comment
5:57 gold
Ray made him sound good !
Fun!
Nothing more 70s than a Fender Rhodes.
How sweet was that?!
Nope, music is forever and unforgotten

That very, very specific point in history when you could sing “was I gay” and it had enough double meaning for a slight grin but still mostly meant happy.
Dick Cavett was so cool.

poor ray charles must have thought "it hurts to listen to this guy"
4.51 “Hang in there,baby”
😮
There isn't always a difference between black and white voices but at least 95% of the time i can tell the difference. If anything the black person will sound white i rarely hear white people that sound black
True! How bout M&M?

Nice. The end was funny; 'Oh wait, he's blind', lol
5:58 Dick realizes Ray can't see that he wants to shake hands.
I'm 17 right now and I love this I'm getting a kick
Lol-so fun
DICK CAVETT

He keeps trying to do hand gestures then realizes how trivial they are haha.
He can't keep a note and it's so funny; I am going to 6 bars to get over it.
Can you tell if i am blk or white by how i speak?
I know ppl who are blk that speak very well
I’m glad i wasn't born during these times. How very insulting. ❤️Ray Charles
I can't tell the difference.
oh man, he just tried to handshake ray charles.
LMAO!!!!!
How cute was that?
Elvis Costello was very mistaken, hence Elvis' music. There has ALWAYS been black music and dance vs. white music/dance in USA. This is truth. Dick Cavett wasn't bad and Ray Charles' voice is not a great black voice but it IS a black voice so it's going to be different from Dick Cavett's.

He isnt teh only one in pain... the paino sounded in pain too

I noticed that these questions are slick, but who knew that devilish minds were behind the scenes making them up purposely.
E911.... Puffy...eln....Canada....
Everyone really was on cocaine back in the day 😂 it’s so obvious
Nah, their brains weren't tapped down by electromagnetic radiation, hormone additives, chemical exposure, etc
dick cavett rocks, RIP Ray
@sbmegypt3 you made your comment on Dick Cavett a year ago, but I had to reply to mourn with you and weep. I cldn't agree with you more !
5:58 hahha
Was i gay? VERY! 😂
At least 5 bars lol
in this years the racist....im from other country but racist is present in a heavy way
Why does it always look like he has a stiff neck or stiff back?
where's Batman?

5:58 idiiiot hahaha
