+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.
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
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.
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...
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."
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!!!!
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 !
People with rhythm can't do this. This is pure God given talent. I'm white and have no rhythm at all. the only part in the movie they made I liked was when he told the promoter to stick it and he wasn't going to sing in the south anymore. Ray was the man.
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}
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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...

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
How can an individual with eyesight give a thumbs down...The Man is still and will be a legend. Amazing.
i keep repeating the first part just to see him getting it right, its just magic
The opening keyboard solo nothing short of brilliant!
-love is blind
-God is love
So ray charles is God
v.c.
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 !!!

Ray was the greatest R& B music pioneer that ever lived
That first minute absolutely blew my mind.

Even when he fucks around he sound better than most musicians.
God gave us Justin B and Micky M and took from us Ray and Elvis , .... what have I done to deserve this
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!
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.
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!

Ray Charles is a true AMERICAN ICON

It's amazing how seamless he transitions from the solo at the beginning to the opening riff.
What'd i say by: Ray Charles WONDERFUL performance this man desserves respect worldwilde for all this contributions for the music ....
I would have loved to meet that man.. He will ALWAYS be a legend and will be missed!!
this is possibly the best thing ive ever seen! Ray is a Genius BIG TIME!
Ray was one of the coolest kats in the game ya dig. Would have killed to see him live.
The Man! Never will be another Ray Charles-ever!
nothing like the classics, RIP Ray may you bless the ears of everyone in the after life
Listening to this made me the most joyous i have been in a long time.That's What I Say.
1:20 the moment when ur body starts moving by enjoying the beat....
For me it starts at 1:07 :)
So true 😂😂😂😂
This is what it really means when someone lives on music. Pure sensation
C'est formidable , formidable 💜 💛💖
Oh my Goodness. Would have be here to see this maestro.
He was blind, but felt the beat.
People with rhythm can't do this. This is pure God given talent.
I'm white and have no rhythm at all.
the only part in the movie they made I liked was when he told the promoter to stick it and he wasn't going to sing in the south anymore. Ray was the man.
What a legend this guy is, no competition towards him
A true American genius and treasure...
I Have No Words. He Is a Legend In a World of Sounds. Perfect!!!!!
Yes. "The King of Soul" indeed! Such a genius!!!
I love it how he can retain his voice even though being that old.
Still so sexy and that unique sound and feel... incredible!!!
pure class
seeing this makes me cry when i see my generations hit/pop music.
I almost could fly to anywhere listening this jazz piano!!!!!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe this, I'm actually crying. I didn't think a song like this would have that effect on me. I love this song so so much.
I'd go out of my mind to be in the same room as Ray Charles
he's a living legend
We saw Ray, September 2000, ... Glad we saw this legend live. Thanks for posting.
At the beginning he's like "let me show these young cats how it's done" >> fingers go wild on da piano. Respect due.
Eugenios~ Even I can see the man is blind. He probably was, but just didn't know. Pure genius!
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

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}
he was 70 years old when this was recorded... he is a legend.

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....
now this is music...
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
At about 1:05, I start to get major chills. One of THE best ever!!
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.
I am 16, and I love him, his music make me happy! :)
Not like today's teens music, shit for mases.
What I'd say que de chemin parcouru depuis ce 18 fevrier 1959 ...amicale pensée Ray
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!
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.
YES SIR!!! THERE WAS NONE LIKE HIM ............ NEVER WILL BE ANY LIKE HIM!!!! RAY CHARLES, LADIES & GENTS!!
100% the best..
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

I was born in 28 december of '94 but when I listen to his music, looks like my memories are part of the 50's...
The definition of excellence
Music The Common Denominator.
Ray Charles a Master of Expressing Himself.
want him back..... I want him back for my generation
I'm in love with old music. Anyone else, or is it just me?
he is a legend
HE IS ONE OF A LEGEND , I LOVE THIS MAN ,
On bass, Tom Fowler. I had the distinct pleasure of playing with him.
I've never seen the original drum lick performed anywhere but the record, probably because it's so good no-one can cover it.
Beautiful!
I think everyone is sitting down because they are in awe and can't move
There is something sure, I was born in the wrong time and the wrong place. This is music, period. Ray Charles is the Man.
The Legend that is..Ray Charles;)
Love Ray Charles.
He's one of a kind never will be another one , jamie foxx came kinda close lol
That sound at 03:35 tho lol. Love 😎 Ray Charles. Gifted soul
