Ray Charles - Song For You (1994)

[BrittsTransport]

M hero who I will never meet.

[NightFlasher34]

wonderful

[charles43110]

1965 I saw him live in concert with entire stage show at OHIO UNIVERSTY-18,000. He was INCREDIBLE . The RULE was nothing past midnight. He started at 8:30. At midnight NO ONE had left & applause & roaring was huge. WE STOOD & cheered & cheered He stood & the place went dead quiet. "You know I cant see the world. My eyes are my ears. I can see that all 18,000 of you are still here & loving this music with me. Dont care what they say about midnight with this much loving I'm still singing.,

[nilla003]

I wonder if these people know what they just saw.

[wcturner]

Love, love, love me some Ray Charles singin' this song for me

[nelpimienta]

I love this song so freaking much.

[musicbroad]

Saw him twice in person. Always great. Miss him.

[pianojoemiami]

Ray was the only singer who could sing a section of the Yellow Pages and make it work and be his own.

[MrJustinbama]

people this is music royallty.the greatest ever

[karan33774]

Great version! Love Whitney's 1991 version too!!

[MotoGuzziCali]

Guys, we have though an alternative choice. How about Lady Gaga with piece of meatloaf on her head instead of Mr. Ray Charles?

Just a suggestion...

Peace

Cali

[AgainsttheGrain1000]

This is the BEST version!!

[caendemaria]

RAY CHARLES = INCREDIBLE VOICE , INCREDIBLE TALENT , THE VOICE OF SOUL , SIMPLY THE BEST ...

RAY CHARLES = UNA VOZ INCREIBLE , UN TALENTO INREIBLE , LA VOZ DEL SOUL , SIMPLEMENTE LO MEJOR ...

[alearda]

Meravigliosa...travolgente

[DominatrixBcn]

PER-FEC-TA

[MotoGuzziCali]

As answer to mullinssubzero,

great, just great.

And You are right, You have all the time in the world to spoil Your music taste...JOKE !!!

Many thanks for Your answer.

Peace

Cali

[danielrochapimentel1]

beautiful!!!!

[ffallenaangel]

why in mi generation there are no singers like this one?

[zarcangel]

@ffallenaangel Inbreeding!

[ffallenaangel]

@zarcangel i dont think so

[monikaeftimova]

@ffallenaangel be happy that musicians like him lived and we can hear what they had made, to feel their soul. Now, then, the time actually doesn't really matter when you're listening to songs like this one.

[ffallenaangel]

@monikaeftimova yea but i want more of this :(

[missippidave]

Time will probably find louis and ray the two greatest of the last century.

[faltooloog]

Once upon a time, there was guy named beethoven, then there was another time and there was another guy named, ray charles.

[crrmary]

I love this man and his music, none other like him.....his soul goes out to you as he sings......

[joevs21001]

Incredible. This brings goose bumps to my skin. One of the greatest musician's who ever lived. There are few who could ever come up to the level of the master Ray Charles who gave us his incredible talent for all those years.

[MotoGuzziCali]

As answer to Your comment mhorvath123...many thanks indeed.

I respect new music and the musicians also, but somehow...i do not know...if (i'm not envy, take that away from me)...if you can sell 50 million copies with a song, which says..."roberto...alejandro...­fernando...fernando...roberto.­..alejandro".

I am gettin' old

Peace and thanks

Cali

[SmoKKeyThaShit]

after watching the show RAY had to, see some of the good stuff by Ray. THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF!! RIP RAY WE LOVE U ALWAYS!!

[frukato]

Geniusz melodyki i harmonii !!!

[23yourstruly1983]

Ray was a beast on the keys. Man. God is good. Truly gifted man.

[TheRocknroll70]

Ray has the best voice ever !

RIP genius i love u

[rafael16041995]

deve bem gostar de justin bieber né ?

deve ser bem estilo Restart , alias

eu n falei ou perguntei nada se queria saber da minha idade

apenas falei oq senti no momento , Idiota

[MrEburi]

I don't care how old are you, what do you think about new generation artists, or do you call Ray a legend, i don't even want to understand your hatred against Disney artists(probably most of you hate them because "everyone else does") to mention only very few things of all. Just stop grumbling and complaining about one singers, and glorifying others, give it all up for a moment and listen to the song.

[joyde2007]

lost in this song!

[rRo12345]

Damn, i thought that music was from by michael buble!

and ray is much more better than him!!

[Topnoteboy]

@rRo12345 It's a Leon Russell penned tune. ray brings it Home!

[Cloudnafratu]

Ray Charles just makes me happy.

[TheMusicguy68]

RAY CHARLES! "The Genius" he was called!

After watching this incredible video, I would call him "The Amazing Genius."

Wow! What soul! What a voice!

Ray set the standard for everyone who followed him! Few if anyone has equaled him! The "Genius" was in a class by himself!

[alexlopeslisboa]

I wanted to have only 1% of the talent of Ray Charles

[alexlopeslisboa]

eu queria ter so 1% do talento desse magico da musica

[alexlopeslisboa]

eu queria ter so 1% do talento desse magico da musica

[ninigreen7]

Ray Charles had such charisma and he was without a shadow of doubt, such a musician with one of the most beautiful voices in the music business. I was lucky to see him performing live a few years before he passed away. What a voice! and such a beautiful song!

Thank you very much for uploading here. Just great!

[CarlaLaLocaMasignani]

LA MEJOR VERSIÓN DE ESTE TEMA LEJOS!! UN GENIO!!

[dielauwen]

I once wrote to Ray Charles when I was a youngster. He wrote back. It amazed me that a famous singer like him would take the time to reply to a letter from a nobody.

He was someone you could respect. A great Songwriter.

[Pjaynes781]

Hey Ray, Leon would be proud, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[benbirkedimiyim]

we ganna see 2012 but ray charles is new for me.

[mastersax]

Ray... you´re the greatest....!!! Wherever you are!!!

[MissBadaLian]

Happy B-Day my shining star!!!

[TheBornthisway11]

happy 81 birthday Ray.

RIP Ray

[ScaredScrew]

was and will be Amazing...

Forever ...

[dusk890]

wow he can make you cry

[carl1095]

Wow, he's a master. He sang it so easy yet so powerful.

[24lewislatasha]

this is a powerful song!!!!!!!!!!!

[lizzykarol]

me gusta mas estaaa !!

[peelumba]

Ray does Brother Leon's song justice!!!!! they both are legends.

[Derrickrose1212]

i can just keep listening to this every minute of my life and i still wouldnt get tired of it.

[MotoGuzziCali]

Hi guys,

i live in Finland. I don't even know how many radiochannels we do have.

Do they play Ray, SRV, Van Morrison, Whitesnake, Stones, just to mention few. No, the play Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Beyonce...even Madonna is too old for these channels.

WTHell? The lyrics of the most selling song last year goes like this..."Fernando Alejandro Fernando....Roberto Alejandro Fernando...dadda dadda daa...Alejandro Fernando Roberto...etc".

Ok. I must be gettin old, i guess...

Peace

Cali

[MultiAspire89]

@MotoGuzziCali respect!

[MultiAspire89]

@MotoGuzziCali respect!

[MegaPanzers1]

@MotoGuzziCali Feel Just the same

[Gasten400]

@MotoGuzziCali im 18 and i totally agree with you

[criss1789]

@MotoGuzziCali

amen!!!

[TheUndergroundMouse]

@MotoGuzziCali Maybe you're too old ... Or maybe I'm 17 ...

[ThisSuitIsBlackN0t]

@TheUndergroundMouse Probably you're too much used to nowadays' pop music and you've never tried to find the real music on your own. While listening to the radio there's a little probability to hear a real good music - with message, emotions, skills. It's not a problem to make song based on 5-6 chords where the lyrics go "We're great, we've got the party, It's friday friday"

Oh.. and I'm only four years older than you. And when I was your age I loved Clapton and "American Pie" song (Don McLean).

[TheUndergroundMouse]

@ThisSuitIsBlackN0t You didn't understand the meaning of what I said at all. Let me rephrase : maybe MotoGuzziCali thinks that because he's getting old, but I'm 17 and I think the same. You know what I mean ?

It's just a misunderstanding, we're all thinking the same thing.

[mhorvath123]

@MotoGuzziCali

It always makes me bit happier to read such a comment. Amen to your post! is the same for me - if i (my mystake) hit any radio station i think they are just trying to erase my brain..

[FlySparksVideo]

@MotoGuzziCali Hahahahahahahahahaha genius

[JUNIORJBY]

As pessoas que não gostam de obra como essa , devem de ser adolescentes que curtem restart ou coisa pior .

[Tomczeck1337]

STOP MENTIONING JUSTIN BIEBER IN THE SAME SENTENCES WITH LEGENDS!!!!

[daveyvandruuten]

@Tomczeck1337 amen brother u dont use the name of the devil in the same sentence as god

[MrsTarmale]

@Tomczeck1337 Isn't that just so rude? He can't even be compared with legends, not even Michael as a child lol.

[xXModelZXx]

@Tomczeck1337 so true!

[looneylon69]

Listen and learn ppl. I have hope that you will learn to have the ability to appreciate this. God bless you all.

[maxflyingcowboy]

when stevie wonder will be gone too, soul and blues will die with them. one of a kind men.

[Kyuuketsuki47]

@maxflyingcowboy As long as people have souls and have troubles to sing about Soul and Blues will never die. The famous people will be gone, but the music will live on, and there will always be new musicians coming up. Will they be as good? Probably not, but it is hard to compare anyone to legends of a genre.

[Doobleray59]

3:44 does he pass gas???....nice song, not hate'n it.

[Dorinel8]

@Doobleray59 my dear, dear fellow, I trully hope you're joking! anyone who's ever seen a Ray Charles video knows that when the man's doing his thing, he just can't keep still! that's all there's to it!

[ChrisSmooveismyson]

I mean seriously, why 29 people cliicked on this video to dislike, you know if you like Ray Charles or not, It's not like you're discovering and you're like : "Oh I don't really like this new guy"

It's fucking Ray charles, come here to love or don't come

[revjys]

@ChrisSmooveismyson Ray is and always will be THE MAN!!!

[vozza14]

oh my god, this is so damn beautiful

[alice77ist]

[stefankapavel]

[cipimania]

genius !



[savedabin]

Love this beautiful song always have can't get enough of it!!!!!!

[peninama]

my favorite version of this music comes from cher

[GrimlyFiendishJr]

..and this man despite drug addiction, lethally corrupt agents and promoters, backbiting and judgemental pop fans...hmmmm, perhaps I can see why some dislike...he didn't go down fast enough or dramatically enough...like the late and misguided Ms Winehouse...

[SidneyLosstarot]

@GrimlyFiendishJr Exactly! People don't like fighters and true heroes....people like victims...that's why most people don't give a damn about Ray Charles, among others, and will mourn Amy Winehouse and others for years...

[garbidz]

Thanks, Ray. You changed it all.

Thanks, Leon.You made a difference.

Sweet stuf!

[Blue98Rondo]

My favorite version of this song comes from Mr. Hathaway: watch?v=o9_nxjgeabM

[radarman818]

Listen to this. Magnificient! then hear it by the Carpenters. Awsome. Then hear Leon sing it. It's like having a cigarette after sex.

[Regimentgunner]

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY DRUM COVER OF MESS AROUND BY RAY CHARLES & LONG TALL SALLY BY LIL RICHARD:)

[Slaaptekort]

I just keep coming back to this song, it's so beautiful! How could anyone possibly dislike this?

Awesome & soulful.

[chubphucka]

[AshleighGrace94]

Love it if you could listen to my own cover of this classic song.

[pdxbiker2009]

Ray, How could you leave us now when we need you so much. I can barely listen to anything you did without breaking down.

[Qmolpoland]

I just cannot stop listening to this the most beautiful song I have ever been listening to. From now on I will never forgive you Ray, The Greatest. I hope you see this from "Above" and you smile!

[pieceofcake125]

i feel sorry for the people who won't see him play live or on t.v. live. it's like me gettin screwed outta seeing john lennon

[zenzarz]

great man with great song

[winggoddess]

one of his better songs.

[ddaii22]

the 25 people that disliked this song have no soul

[MultiRogga]

@ddaii22 Just stupid or Rac.......t

[Byrdeus]

@ddaii22 and no taste

[ChuckEpicNorris]

@ddaii22 No they have a soul, they just tried to dial the number at the beginning hoping for an answer. They're just retarded is all :)

[dystheism]

@ddaii22 make them 28

[yedira]

@ddaii22 in fact, 29 ;)

[kusakalol]

@ddaii22 30

[danielebondue]

Le plus grand des grands . This son for all of you

[profvvv]

@exceilence he is blind

[exceilence]

@profvvv Is he alive?  He like music, I hope, because hes strong hear senses compensated hes view abilities (view??? or looking ... I can not tell this my mind)

[TaMiSab]

@exceilence When Ray Charles was 6 years old, an infection destroyed his eyes, and left them badly scarred, as well as completely blind. Why don't you bother to find out something about a man who was a legend world-wide for over 50 years, before you make such asinine remarks? And what difference does it make to his music if he wore dark glasses all the time or not?

[bizarrefruit]

@exceilence He's blind. Lost his sight when he was young due to a condition.

[Aerfrocentral1961]

@exceilence no real excuse for ignorance......that ...that you dont know is so much better left unsaid.......

[Aerfrocentral1961]

@exceilence ...ignorance and obvious dis-respect...no real excuse for it...

[snoopy84able]

A true GENIOUS! His talent is just immeasurable, unmatched and incomparable!

[mrohyeahgirl]

why he's wearing watch?

[lilejamie93]

The voice

[cbrl9]

how did we go from ray charles to justin bieber?

[infozoki]

@cbrl9 We didn't go. True legend like Ray will never die. Justin will die in few years.

[bhunter61]

@cbrl9 I'm 53 years old and my mom and dad played Ray all our life growing up......and I miss him like I knew him.

[gabyleon]

@cbrl9 oh god...please...dont mix those names i beg of you dude...that really hurtd

[jahstp]

its not about we it's about them there is still allot of soul out here it's just pushed so far underground because it's not about real music anymore it's about money brainwashing and Image,, tragic

[ChuckEpicNorris]

@cbrl9 Watch me connect bieber to kevin bacon ;)

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

@cbrl9 We have caught a virus. ...:)
