i dont want to be the dickhead here but the song wasnt written by Ray Charles - he just recorded it the first time. It was written by Bobby Sharp who sold the song.
BUT nevertheless this is an awesome performance - thumb!
good music. I'm sure there are comments that don't appreciate raw talent - they prefer all the noise of drums and extra guitars. I know talent when I hear it. Good job. Mr. Ray had his way but others can sing and do just fine. Keep it up.
Just watch out..at some parts you were a little flat. but over all good i'd say 7 out of 10. or so. that's just me, but keep at it! there's only up from here =)
Sammy you were born to sing soulful songs awesome version but then again I would not expect anything less from one of my fave Brit new upand commers. hugz
Hey i love the vid... i subscribe to your vids because i want to see more of your vids.. plz return the favor and subscribe to my channel.... ohh and just to let you know i will be commenting on all your new vids... so the more you make the more i will comment!
you got a very good voice and the song is awsome Sam. I wish that you would post more of your own music on Youtube. I do like Sugar mama and Soho whore
It takes balls to post covers of such stand alone songs by such well respected artists. But, I've got to give it to you Sam you really do the songs and artists justice through your tributes of greats like Otis Redding and in this case Ray Charles. We all know how disgusted we can become when we become subjected to one poor cover after the next of such beloved songs, but that has yet to be the case in your videos. As always, great job and best of luck.
Do you ever read this stuff? One compliment after another. Hope you don't get a big head. Just kidding ; ) Self confidence is essential. What was I talking about? I'm rambling cuz I just got up. Oh yeah, Great cover!
In general I don't like cover of Ray Charles because i too much love his voice... BUT this song with your voice sound amazingly good! You are very good! Relax and have fun before you come back to work!
Covers like this are the reason I was first attracted to your music. You have covered some of my all-time favorites, and have done a wonderful job. This is no exception. Great work!
Sam that was brilliant!! Is it possible for me to love you more today? Please don't take it down b/c I know I am going to want to listen to it over and over again (the video is very creative). Anything of yours I can listen to i absorb while i am still waiting to see you live. Thank you for all the new videos lately, I really appreciate them, I love them all!!
Three words: A MAZE ING!!!!!!! Un-freakin-believable, Sam!!!! WOW!!!! You done Ray so proud!!!! (love the vid too! sooo cool! ) So, please tell me that you and Justin are coming to Houston!?!
Yes! I'm so grateful for the new song, I always look forward to more stuff from you. I love this song, I think you covered it extremely well. (Of course)
Nice, Sam! I've never told you this but I LOVE how you lift up your head and just sing it out to the sky. Love your pipes! Really cool video effect as well.
Great video mate ;) lik't!
