It's almost 2012 and I just discovered this amazing singer. Check out my intrepretation of his 1961 song "Because" that I did. He has such an amazing and beautiful voice. I love this song and discovered it because of you. Thanks 4 posting. Why didn't I know about this guy until now?????
@PhoenixxxStar I hope I am not mistaken in the interpretation of your comment, but not a single singer, is a choir or rather was a chorus of between 6 to 8 people, and not a single voice, is what characterizes the Orchestra and Choir Ray Conniff, the harmonious management of the voices and the rest of the orchestra ... Thanks for your comment ...
@quibix The first 33 rpm record that I got as a child was the music of Ray Conniff, especially a song that is alive in my memory Peaceful .... Thanks for your comment, wishing you brought fond memories this tune ....
Pude ouvir músicas desse grande músico quando criança... Graças ao bom gosto musical do meu pai, que me mostrou este e outros bons musicos como Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Tom Jobim...
É triste ver o que as crianças de hoje estão ouvindo: "pancadões" e outras "músicas" sem a menor qualidade sonora (e de letra). As quais levam as pessoas a questionarem: o que está acontecendo com o mundo? Por isso muitos se tornam saudosistas. São poucas as boas músicas divulgadas atualmente.
BEWARE READERS: blizzardman59 and AntiConniff is trolling the Conniff videos, with the sole purpose of insulting and denigrating Joseph Raymond Conniff and his music. He is both rude and distasteful....and loves the attention. You are advised to ignore the troll.
Ray conseguiu fazer melhor do que o original de Stevie Wonder. Sem comentários!!! Só ele poderia ter feito. Ray obrigado por fazer da música o máximo você é insubstituível.
Crap like this is what gives the 70's a bad rap. Why in the hell would anyone ever want to hear a watered down, over produced version of a song they liked? Stevie Wonder should've sued.
@bfnputz Whenever this song is played i think of Stevie Wonder who really is an artists . A lot of written songs are played by various artists which includes Ray Coniiff playing this song . It's his interpretation and addressed to other people who like this sound . Don't get me wrong , you can't take it away from Stevie .
Ufff,que bello...que refrescante..solo dejate llevar por la imaginacion y vuela en el universo...piensa en lo que quieras,,pero es algo fuera de serie...Dios gracias por darnos hermanos con esas cualidades...tu estas entre nosotros.
His album covers are legendary for beautiful women. These records take me back to my childhood and saturday mornings listening with my late father who sang a lot of these songs in the 60's.
Ray Conniff, you beat the original Stevie Wonder version to the punch! As you know, Stevie Wonder is under Motown which is part of UMG. This is hell of a lot better than the original version that Stevie Wonder sang.
It was from a 6-LP compilation "In the Wee Small Hours".
And I forgot to say, this version sucks! Stick with the original version by Stevie Wonder and leave him alone. I hate this version and I rate you a big fat 1 star.
Ray Conniff es el mejor ! ! ! ! ! ! This sounds very much like the style of the Mary Tyler Moore theme, which Ray also recorded around this time. Thanks for posting this one ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song was from the Columbia Musical Treasuries 6-LP boxed set "In the Wee Small Hours" from Columbia House. I guess Ray Conniff stole this one from Stevie Wonder. Come on, Stevie's original version is still a classic. I guess Ray Conniff ruined a Motown classic except "Touch Me in the Morning".
There is still merit in music today. They still need talent to write the songs and produce the songs and money pays for that. You are a bit naieve money is everything and it has been in what ever form from the time of early man. We need to be rewarded for oue creativity and work.
My comment was not meant to say music should be free, for I know someone has to pay the bills in the house, but i meant to say the way music is created now, the dollar and the personal ego/exposure is more important thant the art itself. I myself could steal music but I choose not to because the muscicians not only create but also work hard and have to rehearse on an on untill they get right.
Ray Conniff is my favorite ever! I have everything he ever recorded and it's nice to see these videos that "El Cidvivar" presented us. Well done!!!Waiting for the next ones!!! Jorge, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
@rayconn3 since you said you have everything he ever recorded, did he made an arrangement of Bethoven's 5th symphony? I don't know why I'm under the impresion he did.
Ay! no veo los lirics(letra) donde esta? me encantaria..seguir la cancion! Adoro a Conniff!! mi hermana...bailo muchisimo..con esta musica! que tiempos...mas lindos.....sanos! bellos. MIl gracias.

But thi song was written by Stevie Wonder Himself.
