    Wonderful Christmas blues from Ray. When it's mid-December and we are tired of the worn out Christmas drivel played to death on radio and in the stores, this is the kind of Christmas music I'm more than happy to turn to for the rest of the season!

    OMG!!!!! I don't care how old this performance is, I felt that!!!! Real music, real entertainment....
    And to those 132 people, you're getting a lump of coal in your stocking.

    Wow. Truly fantastic. I only saw Ray and his orchestra once, about a year and a half after this performance, here in Toronto....and I have done a lot of stupid things in my life...but that was definitely NOT one of them. The guy was a god. Merry Christmas everybody. All the best in 2013.

    This year, a friend of mine has been sending me RUclips links to favorite Christmas songs, and I've vowed to listen down the list religiously. This one: Well, of course, it's "good" because it's Ray Charles, but it doesn't really fill me with any Christmas Spirit. Its "spirit" is kinda like any sluggish Friday night at any time of the year.
