Ray Charles was one of the true pioneers of soul music. Born in Georgia in 1930 he was one of the first performers to mix gospel, R & B and jazz to create a new form of black pop music that would come to be known as soul. His voice and delivery were strikingly different and instantly recognisable. He had his first hits in the early 50's and was still hitting the charts into the 21st century. His death in June 2004 from liver disease was front page news around the world.
This concert was filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 19, 1997 and features Ray Charles and his orchestra, led by sax player Al Jackson, and of course The Raelettes.
The full performance is available on the Eagle Vision DVD "Live at Montreux 1997", out now.

This man is blind, playing a piano, singing, entertaining, and leading his band... Nothing is impossible.
He's amazing
If you can do it,you can achieve it
Breathing without a Space suit on the moon is impossible.
Kanye west gold digger
I played with him a couple of years before passing away, he was puré energy.
who's here waiting on Georgia's election results for 2020? Sing it brother Ray Charles, RIP to one of the greatest of our time.
Me!
Me too!
That why I'm here!
Lol me
Absolutely.
Can you imagine being a boy in the Midwest, in the 50's and 60's, blind and African American, creating your own musical genre, because there was no music like that, addicted to drugs, discriminated against for your color and disowned for your music???
Dont do it???
Well, it's another day at the office for *Ray Charles Robinson*
Fly high "Brother Ray", and may the Lord be with you
The best ever! I saw him perform in London and was the greatest concert I have ever seen in my life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
Америка,нам же нравится ваша культура .Почему вы не считаетесь с нашей?
@@user-gi6yd7ub7c I like Russian culture ❤ 🇷🇺
Facts I had to share just to prove my point ❤
It's sad knowing that Ray was once banned from doing shows in his home state of Georgia, because he refused to play segregated shows. This is his gift to the people that once shunned him, a gift returned to him when the Georgia State legislature decided to name his version of this song their official state song.
This actually never happened. While the movie portrays it that way, Ray was actually never banned from performing in Georgia
Lotuzz lmfao
@@williammartin5455 what's so funny about lotuzz comment?
@@lotuzz7409 lol
Just so you know, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1930 and is about Hoagy's sister, named Georgia (he himself was a native of Indiana). Although a romantic and very inspirational story; it is not the truth.
Ray Charles the great, also Jamie did a phenomenal job playing his role in the movie.
That moment when
, black actor got an Oscar not because he is black... Sorry 4 my english.
With respect to all races.
YES
He can play any role.
Great that the did the film so people got to know more about him
He sure did...fantastic movie!
Had this at my daughter Georgia’s funeral, used to play this to her in my belly and she would kick me so gently, I’m sure she knew it was her song. Such a beautiful song, sadly never thought the lyrics would now haunt me so beautifully. ‘other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly, still In peaceful dreams i see, a road leads back to you’ will treasure this song for always 👼🏻🤍
God Bless you
Hello I happiness ❤all around you, can I please share from it?
I pray that God who loves and cares for you will bring you through the hard times lady---He will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg I am so sorry for you'r loss but she always will be in your heart
❤❤❤
if you notice hes not singing, hes literally just speaking from his heart and melody follows those words.
This song hit # 1 in 1960. Ray Charles won 17 Grammy awards. One of the BIG BOSSES!
Hello Maria how are you doing
Hello Maria, I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
legend...
Cool !
This song is definitely one of my favorite songs
Georgia on my mind, your mind, the national mind and the world's mind this election 2020. Ray Charles sure could see into the future that this day would come. We give thanks for his prophetic song.
You make me proud to be an American...
get the vote out for the senate run off
Greetings from Switzerland
Yes
Yeah. His singing of this song had NOTHING to do with any election ever. It's a song.
This is not a song, this is a hymn. A song against the racism. Congratulations Mr. Ray!!! We love u. 🇧🇷
He Was Definitely An Incredible Man, Blind And One Of The Talented Musician Of All Times, Also Stevie Wonder!!! ❤❤
Ja so denke ich auch von ganzem Herzen liebe Grüße aus Deutschland von Anneliese ❤
We are all singing for Georgia and Stacey Abrams - from Ireland
I love you ALL!

Love to Ireland

Ray Charles would have turned 90 on September 23. 2020. That's why I've listened to almost all of his videos on RUclips and now I know why I became a jazz musician: I'm 78 years old. In the 50`s and 60`s there was a program on "Radio Luxemburg" between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in which mostly R&B with Ray Charles was played. I was totally electrified and never missed a program. I then learned the saxophone and double bass autodactically and later played with many well-known jazz musicians in Germany and Europe, so I can look back on a very fulfilled life with countless and unique experiences.
Thank you Ray,
You were my mentor and
"BLACK LIVES BETTER"
Long life with good health and happiness for you 🙂🤲💪❤
I Definitely Listen To All Is Music!!! ❤️
Still, to this day and every time, cannot watch this without a few tears falling. Such a masterpiece
Agreed! this man comes once in a lifetime
Steve Fiorey .same here it's just so beautiful every time I listen tears amazing 👏 ❤
Did that to me to. Dunno why
Shit makes me emotional he was crying 😭 out for Georgia
Es y será un genio!!una maravilla!!!!
Im a musician from the French West Indies(Blues Guitarist) and I wanna let the Black American people know that i truly love them, i will never find the proper words to express my gratitude toward them for what they have achieved in the field of Music.
Thank you guys for your amazing culture!
Election day 2020. Song keeping me hopeful.
Woke up to Georgia going blue... needed to hear some sweet Ray this Am.
Yep
Tomorrow and days following until the ballots are all counted is going to be extra intense.
Ray Charles started 50 feet behind the starting line yet won the race.
Rest In Peace Brother Ray 🙏🏾
He is an inspiration to every human being.
Wow. If this don't make you feel something you gotta find a quieter place and listen harder. Much love for Ray. ❤ 💙 💜
Ray Charles passed away in Beverly Hills, California but when you listen to this you know that Georgia got her son back
That really hit me.
Ray Charles was from Jacksonville, Fl.
George Neidorf he was born in Albany Georgia
@@yeezus3960. You're correct, thanks.
Very well said.
They say that he mixed God's music...gospel, with The Devil's ....the blues. Yeah...., he did. Beautifully.
Richard Marshall Bowman best comment ever
Richard Marshall Bowman we get it you watched the movie
@American Paisa Thanos, 2018.
The rule of law belongs to a Satanic System because it comes under the guise of real law the law belongs and comes from the most high, Elohiym the first and last remember the world was handed over unto the wicked because of our ancestor's contrary walk against our Father Yahuah it's written Deuteronomy 28. Look up 5$ Indians.
There is none above the most high and no balance in between!!!!! See ruclips.net/video/Cv8TcHHLngo/видео.html

Blues doesn’t belong to devil!
Blues Music is pure and wonderful !
I just thought "this is amazing. My husband is gonna LOVE it." Then I remembered he isn't here. Passed away almost four years ago. And I can't stop loving him.
Here in 2024, because Ray Charles is God.
Georgia, The late great Rep Lewis is proud of you for delivering us from another 4 yrs of shame. Thank you
Here on January 5th Georgia come through America needs you!
Atlanta, do your thing!
Hello 👋
How’re you doing?
Hello beautiful, I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
hi roxi, how are you
Ray was born in Georgia. He sang his beloved native land. Wonderful Ray!
Hello can I ask you a question?
Hello margarita, I see happiness all around you, can I please share it?
That was the most talented man ever!
Georgia Just flipped blue!!
My father's home state just went Blue for the first time since the 80's
Forever tied to you through my blood...... Thankful for you this morning. I love you, Georgia
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It went blue in the 90s. It was blue statewide till 2000s.
@@selfishcapitalist3523 as somebody who has lived and traveled through many parts of Georgia my whole life, I can say that Georgia is a purple state for sure. Atlanta and some of the other urban areas are very progressive, but the rural areas are FUCKED. literally less than a month ago I was riding through southern-ish macon and saw a huge confederate flag hung from a ~50 foot flag pole. the building that was flying it was a business that damn near looked abandoned it was in such bad shape, much like any house that waves that flag.
but Atlanta is a bastion of progress in the swamp that is the deep south, and the sheer amount of people concentrated in the Atlanta area is enough to cancel out the cracker-ass rural areas
His singing along with the instruments is so relaxing .
The evolution of his voice and his piano skills never stopped. Like that little weep in his voice adds so much texture.
Man this song really hits me, I remember when I used to drive over the road as a trucker. I've always smile looking at the welcoming sign entering Georgia.
Savannah,Ga here!!!
and the sound of the largest GMRS repeater network lighting up my scanner radio like crazy.
I’m big into heavy metal and country music, but this is still one of the best and most beautiful songs I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Rest In Peace, Brother Ray.
I wasn't sure if he's dead till I read ur comment
@@sola.gratia He died in 2004. Where have you been?
@@feel.s1304 pretty sure u liked ur comment, that's sad
@@feel.s1304 Also, I wasn't even born 2004
@@sola.gratia I didn't like my comment. Also, how am I supposed to know when you were born?
I've been to Georgia once and let me tell you, this song brings me back there every time I hear it. Great song!
Great song great soul
How are you doing?
I visited Atlanta Georgia in 1984 and I was told that it was not a great idea for me to visit stone mountain, at that time without a tour group, I learned a very valuable lesson about what could happen to me as a young woman of color? I then understood why this song has such significance for people of color!
My dad was born in a hick town near Savanah .
@@anthonysanchez7090 Great as always.
@@v.dargain1678 Must be a small town.
Makes me cry whenever I hear it. I had the privilege of standing next to Ray at his piano in 1965 when he played a concert at Northwestern University. This was in 1965, olden times, and the girl had to be back in their dorms by 11pm. Ray was several hour late. There were not many people left at the end. I walked down to his piano, didn't touch him but said "I love you man". The genius .... RAY CHARLES!
I am keeping Ray in my mind as I go vote 2020 presidential election with conviction. Hey Ray, my vote tomorrow is for you and the country. GEORGIA ON MY MIND.
Not gonna lie... I got a little emotional when I jus read this! #GoJoe
@Dave B. ya done good bro! Hopefully soon we will all b singing "hit the road jack" as well lol
Get the vote out for the Senate run off to turn it to democratic majority
Ol-alz for elechnnn???? 👑💚
@Bradley Mitchell that was jus a very nice sentiment about how important it is to vote... that if u r not going to do it for urself... u should do it for those who suffered and helped pave the road for u to be able to work hard for what u want and live ur life free and dignified here in the U.S.A
Who’s here right now? Georgia just turned blue 2020
We remember this song for all Georgia Republicans from time immemorial.. Georgia is a brave Red state
Get the vote out for the senate run off and turn the senate BLUE!
@@chardwickpaq3979 pipe dream
So awesome
@@munkeyu4707 - like GA being certified today for Biden? Pipe dream?
Im from Georgia, but not state of America. She’s small country and that is one of the best song about Georgia by ray
Welp..... A Nother Legend in Lesson. R.I.P. and honor Ray Charles 💯
Hello 👋
This tune brings back a special memory and played a part in my deciding not to reenlist in the Navy. I was due to be discharged in less than a month and had just returned to the staging area after a week or so of long range recon. Someone had tuned the radio to Armed Forces radio and I heard the DJ say "This is for you Georgia boys" and I then heard Georgia On My Mind for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes and gave me a case of homesickness I couldn't shake.
This song played on the radio when my cousins SSGT. Jude R. Jonaus body was returned to us from Iraqi freedom. He was stationed out in GA. Glad you did not reenlist
I Love this song, it has a special place in my heart❤. Can I ask you a question please?@Earl Towery

Hello beautiful, how’re you?
333 all the tyme you are definitely on my mind momma bear it ain't fare
Love that song and love him. As a student at Ole Miss in 1967, I was fortunate to see him in concert at the Ole Miss Coliseum. Long time ago, but I remember how great he was to this day!
I was also an Ole Miss Rebel in the 1960's and I saw Ray in New Orleans as he was always one of my favorite musicians. He always sang from his heart and soul, and we will always have a part of, and memory of ray, through his special life and his everlasting gift to humanity through his music.

What do you admire most about Ray Charles?
It really doesn't get better than this, does it? I saw him live in the 1970's and have never forgotten it!
This song holds a special place in my heart, as it brings back memories of Sunday mornings spent with my family, who are currently far away from me. I miss them terribly.
Hello how are you
It's not just a song about Georgia. It's really about having left your home location, but acknowledging the pull and memories of your home town/country/state etc.
4/30/22...GA born + raised....so THIS IS MY SONG. Makes me remember + miss my growing up there....
Now retired + living in Central FL but GA will always be my 🏡!

Hello Heidi how are you doing
I Love this song, it has a special place in my heart❤. Can I ask you a question please?@Heidi skok
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on RUclips❤❤
Hello pretty
Literally posting this on Facebook for that exact reason
Ditto
No one had a soul like Ray Charles one of gods gifts to the world
I don't care what anyone says. Ray Charles is Rock and Roll. Look at him swaying, transported by the blues, jazz, bebop, that Bob Seger and others re-energized. It's "that same old back beat rhythm that really gets me in the..." Huey Lewis
MUST be the song for the inaugural ball!
Amen!
I second that motion.
My dear American fellows, I'm listening this wonderful song from Bologna, Italy! Go Joe Go!
Cadê os grandes artistas de hoje em dia? Não existem mais. Ray Charles é eterno! Um verdadeiro ícone musical.
Concordo com a segunda parte mas sempre existem grandes artistas, John Mayer é um exemplo de como contribui para a música e um dia será lembrado como uma lenda
A Legend that will never be duplicated.
Hello Sharon
Georgia is blueeee
Georgia, we will FOREVER be grateful for what you did today, and the country, maybe even the world says THANK YOU!!! We will NEVER forget what was done in this most important moment, so for that, you WILL ALWAYS BE ON MY MIND!!!
Ray Charles is the epitome of Rock,Blues,and R&B🎉🎉.You influenced a lot of the musicians and entertainers today.There will never ,ever be anyone quite like you 🎉🎉. You reach all the people with your unique style and class 🎉🎉. You are a class act 🎉🎉. RIP,Mr. Ray Charles 🎉🎉
