[1r0nbane]

This makes me smile, because I REMEMBER this.

[BeingArtistik91]

[dodokopakepake]

The best Alphabet song I've ever heard. RIP, Ray Charles. You'll be missed forever.

[awsometastic12]

The kids ruin it.

[TheGREATEST95]

everything sounds good from ray charles

[CedMusic16]

Made me love the alphabet all over again.

Plus, I love the black kid is the only one nodding to the music in the beginning.

[BlackSheepParty]

Ray charles, making it funky since 1945.... the true originator and innovator and true king of Rock and ROll.... knows his abc's too.

[121Gigarocks]

Amen you guys! . . Keep on a rockin kids. . . with soul!!!!!

[coolymac]

I wish my teacher tought us the alphabet like this! hot, hot shi!

[lantarowski]

[Spinall01]

Un auténtico genio!

[XxwillywillXx88]

@thealfawulf.... LOL!! I'm white and I think that was hilarious!! R.I.P Ray, You Rock!!

[EndOfExploitation]

Only Ray Charles can make the alphabet this good

[rbushi23]

Claramente la niña de amarillo es latina... que sabor!!!

[rockclimber21]

girl in the yellow has a great sense of rhythm for her age

[IAMLOST]

@rockclimber21 lol ya that's what I thought! But all the kids are pretty awesome, you can tell that they picked the smartest ones to do this. I bet they practiced a lot, too! I've seen lots of kids their age that wouldn't be able to sing a song like that, even with a lot of practice...

[soSpecialkay]

lil Latin girl got the most rhythm.. ;-) lol

[AAjootian]

GenX had the best tv. Nuff said. We won.

[Alexonsjo]

ray = cool

[camilivee]

Simplemente.... Maravilloso!

[PentecostalBro07]

Yo, this was a good era for us kids who grew up on this good stuff. This was a time when you exactually 'LEARNED' something from the T.V. All I can say is good memories. Luv how Ray Charles Jazzed this song up. 2 Thumbs up for me!!!

[TheLizzifer]

Listen up, little blonde kid beside the piano. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. You're in the presence of swaying magic.

[ZanbusGuerra]

Holy God!!!!!! HOW COULD THAT EVER HAPPEN!!! My God, I love Ray!!!

[alahossain]

some of the luckiest kids ever

[uzytkownik90]

@alahossain so true. Ray is brilliant.

[DJDizzy113]

When I was a kid, I thought Ray Charles always danced when he played and he wore sunglasses because they looked cool. Even now, knowing what I know now, he's still awesome.

[berto01]

Haha Ray Charles can make any song bad-ass !!

[malburgprod]

This is so awesome...

[sbamkmfdmdfmk]

Yellow shirt's got some rhythm.

[mastropower]

@sbamkmfdmdfmk doin' 2 and 4 like it,s nobody's business

[AngelOfDeath1897]

I'm kind of amazed how catchy the alphabet can be haha.

[CurtisDoverY0]

i will sing the alphabet like this from here on out. and i will teach my kid this too

[thealfawulf]

Ya the black alphabet rules!!!(no insult intended, I am NOT a racist)

[VOKER101]

[50033836]

He is just too cool, in every single endeavour he's ever done. It's official.

[1945Godfather]

[painkiller81692]

Yo.... Where was Ray Charles when I was learning the alphabet ?!?!?!?!?

[Spaghetti745]

Hahahah. he said it was terrible.

[ScuraLurida]

[jfodpgdhds]

i think we all know that ray is one of the best musicians ever lived on this planet

[Isitshiyagalombili]

@mattgill1992 You've never heard of braille, sophomore?

[TheKingofnoob]

I have no way to descripe how awesome this is.

[4Gamby]

wow. it's true. Ray Charles could - and did- sing the alphabet and it would be -and was- awesome.

[unique74muzik]

[mattgill1992]

As awesome as this is, I can't see Ray Charles having much use for the alphabet.

[password123ist]

[ifmrcuica25]

[stew631]

jamie foxx did a great impression of him in Ray i love that movie

[GermanPcGuru]

It seems that they don't know what legend they are seeing there!

It's a honour for them!

[daftroger]

im sure that when they get older they will go like... OMG thats was Ray!

[blamieren]

And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need it's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto ... ... Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see, do we simply turn our heads and look the other way Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto

[arbeitseinheit]

[boyjer]

¿Como pudo caer tan bajo?

[fanky61]

[AxolotlExodus]

Tan bajo se encuentra tu capacidad de entender esto, mamerto.

[lilphitz99]

My favorite Ray Charles song

[AKAsheldon]

He gave the ABCs meaning again.

[wwatson136]

wish kids could hold the same beat as they used to, props to the kid in yellow for starting it off

[xdavid98]

he makes that simple song swing like hell !

[osamaespuma]

that children don´t have any idea of ray charles was!! miss u ray....

[Mizzuru]

Man they used to play old sesame street episodes on channel 4 when i was a kid back in the early 90's. Loved them

[hugleberthumperdink]

hell yes man, 90s sesame street children. good times. nd only ray charles could make this roll along like this slick way.

[superwolf76]

I love how he says "Aw, man, that's terrible" at the end. Hilarious.

[Immaculate416]

that guitar behind them is cookin

[hobbitandwife]

I watched this when I was a little kid. I thought he was COOL. Gosh that was like 15 years ago!! time flies.

[monkeys350]

he is cool

[RubyBlueTuesdays]

that's one cool dude

[littlehornywolf]

thats great man=)

[JesseDark101]

er... I'm a little bit confused....

Zee? ... Isn't it Zed?

Or is it a difference between UK and US?

[anchoredwunderlust]

UK does zed. dunno about aus and places though!

[VickAuc]

It's 'zee' in the US. I had a math prof from Australia and he said 'zed.'

[LTcrew]

It's zee in America. Zed here in Canada too :)

[samdtall]

we're just some wacked-ass americans. don't hold it against us for pronouncing letters wrong; we pronounce plenty of things wrong too, especially "nuclear," which is now in some dictionaries with the alternate pronunciation "nucular." zed, zee, tomayto, tomahto.

[bravzi]

A.B.C. with S.O.U.L.

[cc12i]

RIP Ray

[ChrisTucker15]

[toffeltjuven]

[rpgmonster]

Maybe becaue he is/was blind? if you don't know who ray chales is/was, you need some edjucation!

Please inform you before you write!

RIP Ray Charles Robinson

[K3RA5HH]

[kloaneKantn]

[TobiasBernson]

[TampaRed]

Ray was clean by the time this was recorded.

[zacandtaylorrule]

Alright Brother Ray! He is a legend. I remember this from like 30 years ago. Have not seen it since then. RIP Brother Ray.

[JowePunyaNeh]

A brilliant singer! He's really blessed!

[ExoticAutomatic3]

[mengmaus]

Der könnte auch ne Gebrausanweisung von Ikea für einen Tisch singen und es würde noch hervorragend klingen.

[budgeX2]

[Slokes89]

[arbycub]

Oh man...that's terrible :)

[eyeformusicgal]

I remember seeing this episode. Actually Sesame Street is still one of my favorite songs to watch. It just goes to show you that Ray Charles can sing the alphabet and sound great!

[OtherBrother09]

You know a children's song is gold when you're 33 and you start singing and clapping.

[FRESHKIDD215]

R.I.P.

[hoopersghost]

You know you've made it as a popular singer when you get invited to perform on Sesame Street--especially if you can come up with an original musical version of the alphabet! :)

[RitchieBlackmore8855]

no no no i was replying to the guy who commented before me :) Im very sorry for the confusion

[Iliveonlolipoplane]

Ray Charles is awsome. I love how he plays and just talks normally...

Yeah I saw that girl, WHAT THE HELL!?

Shes just there clapping....

???

[97BeRbEeGuRl97]

such a nice guy too. i love ray charles. R.I.P. you were amazing,

[dbrownonline]

did anybody notice that he says thats terrible at the end....haha i found that funny.....but loved the song....this guy is my hero

[Nordman15]

i could listen to this guy sing the phone book.

[vincekornegay]

this proves this man could sing anything

[CrazyDonkay]

Wow, Those kids are sooo lucky sitting next to a legend like Ray Charles.

[CCSGods25]

Love how one girl just catches the groove and starts clapping and looking around like - any of you other idiots hearing this????

[burningbeing]

She cool, clapping strong on 2 and 4.

[CMRedford]

That's right! She's started clapping the good way! It may sound silly or easy, but i have a friend who is incappable of doing that: he would clap on 1 and 3. That little girl has the groove!

Btw, Ray is the man, this video is awesome!

[joeljjison]

yeah, and its proper tight ^_^

[finnishminnow]

Ray Charles certainly did a great job of singing The Alphabet, don't you think?

[sandroboy123]

"aw man it's terrible" I LOVE this man!

[PentecostalBro07]

This Is So Nice!

[OMBLIGOchannel]

[ivanetstrombone]

[DivaDelight1213]

Rest in Paradise Ray Charles

[jobahed]

Proof once again, Ray could take ANY FREAKING SONG and make it not just cool, but DAMN cool. Genius...simply genius.

[trinidangerpuppy]

I love this version of the alphabet so much!

Thanks for the memories!

[caserock]

i like how he insults the kids at the end. i lol'd. 5 stars.

[dorkyrussianhippie]

those kids don't know what a talent they're sitting next to.

[lanzauno]

perhaps the most bizarre ending of any of ray charles' songs.

but this song is still dope cousin

[noodles41]

bloody hell those kids look bored

[SforzandoFilms]

Good old Ray. He was a legend.

[kensington25]

Amazing
