Ray Charles is performing a concert. He finishes up, the crowd goes wild, but a man walks up to him afterwards and says " That was unbelievable. There's no way a blind man can be that good." Ray looks at him, tips his hat, and says " I don't see your point."
+François Royal That's like saying Stephan King will never compare to Shakespeare. Why would you even try to compare them? That doesn't mean Stephan King isn't incredibly talented at what he does.
That was the genius of Ray Charles! The best! Learned the drums playing to the album What Id Say and I Got A Woman was on growing up in Brooklyn. Miss those days and the talent of this man. RIP Ray!
At the age of 70 years he was still rocking the place :-) Fucking brilliant, I thank my father for introducing his music and that of B.B. King to me when I was a kid !!!
I think the 'feel good ' factored in strongly, that made this genre more readily accessible to all that took part in its vibrancy. Ray Charles could 'move' the audience to his emotions - a gifted musician too, very few like him today
É impossível ficar parado ouvindo o som deste que sem dúvida, é o "RAY" da Soul Music. Cresci ouvindo as músicas desta "fera" por influencia da minha família, e até hoje, nas nossas reuniões aos finais de semana, é som obrigatório. É o inventor do Samba-Rock.Tenho 64 anos e frequento bailes nos salões da cidade de Sampa, onde se curte música de qualidade como estas por exemplo. Abraços a todos os que curtem e aos que não curtem também.
Man. I'm in love with this song because of the way he invented the electric piano with this song. I jut sbaought a 1959 Wurlitzer piano because pf this song. And here, Ray plays the cheesiest approximation of an electric piano I guess it doesn't matter what your play. IT'S WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING. Thanks Ray.
i absolutely loved when he crossed his legs at 3:16 when the song hit him and he felt it!!! i love watching MASTERS performing their crafts!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!
This song is amazing. One's i read in a magazine about this song and it said "Is it gospel, is it R&B, is it blues,..." Now I see, they were right and that is an achievement in world history.
This man was a true ledgen artist just amaz ing.. may he RIP... There was only Ray Charles.... bless him.. his music lives on forever... great talent..Thank you for the video.... 13bisrecords... bless you.. peace love....
Ray never did a song the same way at his soul he was a jazz man ---- this version was so great --- even after all the years he just reinvents the song and creates something new and has fun with it -- I miss you Ray you were the greatest popular music performer in the 20 eth century your music will never die
that man keeps on giving me chills and keeps make me moving ..even when im in a senior home and turn this one on when im spinning records of the good ol days ... old but young people all know who Ray is ... He's a man with such a big soul in his voice and body language .... may he rest in peace now and may his music not rest and let it swing till the earth explodes ...God Bless
Eis um grande fenomeno!!! Ray Charles dono de um espirito musical fenomenal sabe com fazer transbordar acordes maravilhoso. Sinto muito a perda de grandes genios musicais como este. Será que ainda teremos fenomenos como estes? E S P E R O...
It is a classic! Was so big when it came out. Back then it was relatable as there were still some among us that weren't hip in the drug culture. And ones Mama, absolutely told ya not to come!
C'est un monstre ce type ! Tout le monde la ferme et le laisse regler son instrument dans le plus grand calme et avec grand respect !!! Dès qu'il sent la bonne intonation, les autres suivent ! C'etait vraiment un grand bonhomme !!! On a perdu quelqu'un de géant !!! je vous le dis !
Excelente cantante y musico. Un Maestro. Tocar el piano es muy dificil pero Ray, siendo ciego, lo dominó a la perfección y le agregó su estilo inigualable que lo convirtió en uno de los más afamados cantantes del mundo.
On this day in 1961 {February 22nd} Ray Charles performed "What'd I Say" on the NBC-TV program 'The Perry Como Show'... Two years earlier on July 6th, 1959 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #6 and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 And on August 3rd, 1959 it reached #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart Four covered versions have charted; Jerry Lee Lewis {#30 in 1961}, Bobby Darin {#24 in 1962}, Elvis Presley {#21 in 1964}, and Rare Earth {#61 in 1972}
SI CIEGO ES CONSIDERADO DENTRO DE LOS 10 MEJORES ARTISTAS DE LA HISTORIA MUSICAL Y TOCA LOS TECLADOS DE ESA FORMA... IMAGINENSE LO QUE HUBIERA HECHO CON LA VISTA NORMAL... FUE Y ES UN CAPO ESTE VIEJO...
The opening keyboard solo nothing short of brilliant!
How can an individual with eyesight give a thumbs down...The Man is still and will be a legend. Amazing.

R.I.P. Ray Charles The best on the piano ever.
Thank
Though Ray Charles may be talented, he will never compare to Beethoven.
+François Royal Just like John Lennon would never compare to Enrico Caruso.. LOL Wtf?
+François Royal That's like saying Stephan King will never compare to Shakespeare. Why would you even try to compare them? That doesn't mean Stephan King isn't incredibly talented at what he does.
+François Royal l'ignorance
i keep repeating the first part just to see him getting it right, its just magic
Ray was the greatest R& B music pioneer that ever lived
Ray Charles is a true AMERICAN ICON
That was the genius of Ray Charles! The best! Learned the drums playing to the album What Id Say and I Got A Woman was on growing up in Brooklyn. Miss those days and the talent of this man. RIP Ray!
Ray Charles is in a class of his own, a great man.
At the age of 70 years he was still rocking the place :-) Fucking brilliant, I thank my father for introducing his music and that of B.B. King to me when I was a kid !!!
That first minute absolutely blew my mind.
At the beginning he's like "let me show these young cats how it's done" >> fingers go wild on da piano. Respect due.
best intro ever
I think the 'feel good ' factored in strongly, that made this genre more readily accessible to all that took part in its vibrancy. Ray Charles could 'move' the audience to his emotions - a gifted musician too, very few like him today
Its an old blind man playing that piano!
Come on people! You got to love him!
he was a great artist he is dead but his music never die.
R.I.P Uncle Ray greeting from Turkey.
This is what it really means when someone lives on music. Pure sensation
The Man! Never will be another Ray Charles-ever!
this is possibly the best thing ive ever seen! Ray is a Genius BIG TIME!
Wooooh!!! That intro!!! :'D
Almost cried with joy :'D ! WOOH!!!
Black or white,
Dead or a live
Ray Charles
LEGEND!!!
Music becomes a mess of fanzy sounds, and words mixed together! This video should have at least 7.000.000.000 views!!! And the same amount of likes!
nothing like the classics, RIP Ray may you bless the ears of everyone in the after life

I'm in love with old music. Anyone else, or is it just me?
Wow! He's great with an orchestra and a grand piano and he's great with a keyboard and a trio. Ray Charles is just great!

i absolutely loved when he crossed his legs at 3:16 when the song hit him and he felt it!!! i love watching MASTERS performing their crafts!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!
Those folks need to show a little bit more love for a legend like Ray Charles
Wow. hit restart at 1:04 for about 6 times before i let the song play out! INCREDIBLE!
Muzikly Inklined i know what you mean brother !
I Have No Words. He Is a Legend In a World of Sounds. Perfect!!!!!

E S P E R O...
-love is blind
-God is love
So ray charles is God
v.c.
It's amazing how seamless he transitions from the solo at the beginning to the opening riff.
It is a classic! Was so big when it came out. Back then it was relatable as there were still some among us that weren't hip in the drug culture. And ones Mama, absolutely told ya not to come!
i so wish i could someday play guitar as brilliantly as he played all his music!!!
I don't think Ray Charles played the guitar :p (Blind people have sensitive fingers, usually it's the instrument to avoid for a blind person)
João Mamede i know, but i can play this song on guitar and I'm just saying i hope to play it as well as he could play instruments/music.
João Mamede ?
30 percent of the best guitar players of all time were blind!
I'd go out of my mind to be in the same room as Ray Charles
he's a living legend
C'est un monstre ce type ! Tout le monde la ferme et le laisse regler son instrument dans le plus grand calme et avec grand respect !!! Dès qu'il sent la bonne intonation, les autres suivent ! C'etait vraiment un grand bonhomme !!! On a perdu quelqu'un de géant !!! je vous le dis !
A #1 hit for Ray Charles and His Orchestra on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 50th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.
¡Me encanta! Gracias por colgar buena música
At about 1:05, I start to get major chills. One of THE best ever!!
Ray was one of the coolest kats in the game ya dig. Would have killed to see him live.
What I'd say que de chemin parcouru depuis ce 18 fevrier 1959 ...amicale pensée Ray
Even when he fucks around he sound better than most musicians.
YES SIR!!! THERE WAS NONE LIKE HIM ............ NEVER WILL BE ANY LIKE HIM!!!! RAY CHARLES, LADIES & GENTS!!
music hits this man differently than it hits others... so awesome
Oh my Goodness. Would have be here to see this maestro.
He was blind, but felt the beat.
Yes. "The King of Soul" indeed! Such a genius!!!
Beauty! Such a legendary musician.
he was 70 years old when this was recorded... he is a legend.
I love it how he can retain his voice even though being that old.
Still so sexy and that unique sound and feel... incredible!!!
MASTER RAY!!! Should've stayed with us to adorn this world. The new generations have not even heard his name. RAY FOREVER!!!
C'est formidable , formidable 💜 💛💖
Sacré musicien ce RAY ! 🇫🇷🌹❤️🇫🇷👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Mr. Ray Charles had a lot to say , he said it all and everybody heard him !!! R.I.P. RAY CHARLES !

I almost could fly to anywhere listening this jazz piano!!!!!

A true American genius and treasure...
Muito bom lembra muito minha infância ,quando iniciava meus primeiros contacto com a música Hélio
