Good for you baltomuch. Give a listen to Joe Williams with the Count Basie orchestra. Great voice, great band and great blues. Also, Ray Charle's Every Saturday Night is simply fantastic.
These two men and their musical genius have given so much to the musical history of American music. My heart bleeds at their passing, but my ears and my soul rejoice at the wondrous sounds that they have left behind. Because of them I smile through my tears.
god, please take justin bieber, selena gomez, demi lovato and kesha and give RAY back to us!!! BTW, sorry for mentioning those devilish artists over here...
Look, you can give me just about anything Ray Charles...I do not mind. But I didn't know he'd done something with BB King. This is cool with me too. Two great artists together, I'm all for it. : )
@ninguem2269 I disagree, beause then would be ray harles + b.b. king = heaven - sluts - beer. but such a heaven would suck and ould therefore never equal ray charles + bb king.
I am a bassist in a blues-jazz band, and the guitarist said: I know lots of solo guitar player, and they alwys said: I am a real good solo guitarist, i can pick 19 notes per a second. And he said: And what is good in it? guitar playing about melodies. I think ray was the pest keyboard player who ever lived, and bb king is just the best guitarist.
161,397 views?? There is something seriously worng with this world when songs such as this, sung by masters of music like these two, only have that number of views. Every human being should have the pleasure of hearing what true joy sounds like, this.
@naynos I agree. One of the biggest problems with popular music is that it's inauthentic at its core. In one verse of Sinner's Prayer, you get a depth of emotion that you can't get in all of pop. The sad fact is that most people don't want to deal with how blues puts your feet under you so you can stand up, they'd rather escape behind rose coloured glasses and hope it'll all be better magically.
This one you listen, when you are down, and feeling bad, think about all the things that need to be done, and no one to help you, and you say, oh Lord have mercy on poor me :)
@mapo12 Not delayed gratification, but rather the result of LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG suffering. They say you have to know pain to know "the Blues", let along sing or write about them. These two men are shining examples of what "the Blues" are. You've already missed out on seeing Ray, while we remain blessed with B.B. King, DON'

Ahhhh, Grandma Ross! I swear, if it weren't for you and your love of BB, I wouldn't have grown up on MEANINGFUL music. Lord have mercy on my soul I probably would've been listening to Lil Wayne. So I thank you! R.I.P. Grandmaaa! This one's for you!
@WhoaaBabyy33 God Bless your Grandma Ross, then! This music was distilled from the night air, drop by sweaty drop, by real people who lived real life.
@iop223 I'm sorry, is this supposed to be English? What I was trying to say is, if it weren't my grandmother I'd be stuck only listening to such artists like Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, etc.. But because of the love my grandmother had for music and for me I didn't. I grew up to BB, Ray, Al Green, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, and many, many more amazing artists. I may listen to mainstream music, sue me, but there's nothing like an oldie to relax my mind. Anymore assumptions?
Two of the greatest names of all time, together. Perfect!!
