Ray Charles - I Believe to My Soul

[LovesWhatWeNeed]

freakin` great...i could start crying, because they don`t make this kind of music any more...real sad the music nowadays! greetings from a stranger living in germany

[Dickneeds]

This is not the original 1959 45 release. It must be from a newer album cut. Doesn't have the original feel to it.

[jokkergar]

I say i believe right now!!

[ThePhil909]

now listen to van Morison's 'got to go back' off (no guru no method no teacher) inspired him to make that incredible album.

[r33va]

"last night you were dreamin, and i heard you say

"oh johnny!"

when you know my name is Ray"

gives me chills!

[NightFlasher34]

einfach nur hamma ...ray hats drauf.R.I.P

[symone09]

When u know my name is Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[broadwaywannabe13]

2:11 :)

[mlparker1061]

Don't allow playback via iPhone ???

[TheFellak]

I believe to my soul

[FollowCabonieTelly]

4 people don't have ears

[dan4778]

I think 4 [eople don't have soul at all!

[TheSlip2100]

i can remember sitting on the porch with my grandad listenin to this, this songs older than me

[Crazyvideolover125]

:) 

[PeacefulMode]

Anyone else Come here from Chiddy-Bang To find out who the hell ray charles is?

[bbs528]

@PeacefulMode no! WTF?

[Cabose117711]

@PeacefulMode The Fucks! who in hells name is chiddy-bang>!?

[skimer104]

@PeacefulMode that is disrespectful.

[iTalkOverGames]

@PeacefulMode Well, I've lost all hope for humanity.

[notoriousvic]

this must have influenced dylan's ballad of a thin man

[wasdms]

DAMN HE CAN SING. 

[njdboy973]

watched the ray movie on BET.. now i cant stop listening to this lol

[jorgeNCISgrone]

@njdboy973 me too! i love ray charles since his movie!

[satoterran]

oh jonnie!!! el maestro de maestros!!

[TuneChanticleer]

Im watching RAY right now

[13lackIII]

@TuneChanticleer That's how I just got this!

[huongle34]

i would love to know the starting notes of 3 women' vocals "I believe yes i believe!"

Does anyone know?

[toodeadbroke]

@huongle34 It was Ray himself. Thanks to the engineering genius of Tom Dowd, who was a staff recording engineer at Atlantic Records. Great overdubbing work.

[huongle34]

@toodeadbroke oh thats right i forgot watching it in "RAY" marvelous! do you know the starting notes he sang in the harmonies still? :)

[xxshen123]

 O YEAHHHHHHHHHHH RAY

[BigDaddyDJD]

That line is about his woman calling out another dudes name in bed, and yet Ray still makes it one of the coolest lyrics in music history. SWAG

[GM1242]

I can't even speak. It's so perfect...

[ninguem2269]

will never exist someone who sings like this motherfucker!

[ninguem2269]

he really made all the backing vocals in this music ?

[mcprofacy]

@ninguem2269 literally unbelievable isnt it? if u listen really closely to the harmonies u can hear each different tone of his....one of a kind genius.

[Feelin2nice]

@ninguem2269

Yes he did. It's his voice for all 3 parts. He's the most soulful singer/writer I've ever heard in all my years. There have been many others, but only one, single essence known as Ray Charles. Absolutely Amazing!

[SenTora]

@ninguem2269 Yup. If you listen closely at each harmony you can hear his voice in each part

[lilmissmusic2012]

Man, I can't stop listening to this :D

[BeatHicular]

beyond words or comments...classic

[xianteen]

this dude did his own background... BAD TO THE BONE

[guillerm99]

[DASfilms]

[iBurrr]

[shan19578]

I am 19 years and I really love this I sing it in my sleeping and working lol

[TheMuziqGuru]

im watching this movie right now,,,, lol did he really do the parts of all the back up girls???

[jxjahozafex99]

@TheMuziqGuru Yes he actually did! Its shocking but when you listen to all of the voices they sound the same as if they were coming from one person just different pitches.

[babah77088]

FIND ME A OLD JOHNY GIRL

[salamandrajo]

y claro que le creo a mi alma..:! yeah que mi alma vuele conmigo..!

[chibomato78]

Ray did the courses himself on this didn't he?

[gioolioplus]

last night you were dreaming and i heard you say "oh johnny"...damn, i'm blind and not deaf, yes i belive!

[tripodezenove]

Oh my god, this is so good. i just love th feeling this music brings to me

[JackMoveJohnny]

[BigDaddyDJD]

[JamesJonathon013]

This song has one word written on it...BADASS!

Those harmonies with the "I believe" is actually Ray doing all of them. Yeah. He really is a genius!

[agentleexx]

My favortite song in the movie

[nthomas32]

Ray Charles was amazing! I miss him so much!

[Rcksaltnnails]

He isnt Johnny, he just doesnt Believe To His Soul!

[rubbersoul816]

Bob Dylan used the same or at least similar chords in Highway 61s "Ballad of a Thin Man" (right at about 00:46)

This song is really good.

[nohopway]

The one person who disliked this? Yeah, that's Johnny.

[Dundetta08]

@nohopway LOL!!!!!!!

[OhEmGozzles]

@nohopway BA haha! Thank you for that.

[militarygrunt589]
