[pimenteross]

Este hermoso tema, también está fenomenal por Ernestine Anderson.

[94PianoPlayer]

i thought i could play the piano quite well. i also thought i can sing. watched this vid: i cant do anything at all *_*

if you compare him to some other artists...no...you cant. he's someone so special..

[bev1906]

The majority of entertainers can't even play instruments, they suck when comparing.

[rievans57]

Ray Charles was a hybrid. Blues, jazz, gospel, country and pop all came oozing from him not to mention his musicianship. Singer, writer, arranger, performer his talent was immense.

[Heunnie]

OH DAYM.

if only i ever play like this... O.O

[TboneWertman]

Now thats Blues.

[shonbay]

22 ppl hate when the sun go down....

[MrRazorblade999]

Who is the guitarist?

[impala327]

@MrRazorblade999

Sonny Forrest

[ramallenann]

"The captivating, invigorating, scintillating sounds of the Genius! The genius of Ray Charles!" That's how his manager used to introduce him in the early days. He got that right.

[LodoGrdzak]

Damn. Sings pretty good. 

[Exarker]

Ray now is Playing and Singing for God!

[jacksonhardenmusic]

wow he can play like that and he's blind! I couldn't even imagine being that good.

[Manu9078]

was ray playing the G and E blues scale for the intro? I can't seem to figuere out which he does most... I've tried playing it with E blues and it sounds fine to me on piano but I've also tried the G and sounds fine...

I do know he's doing that G 12 bar progression. someone please help!

[i1am2alex3]

@Manu9078 ray was so high he probably dont even know what he was playin lol

[impala327]

@i1am2alex3

he knew what he was playing but i wonder who else in the band was a junkie.

[lamontlewis]

Damn you Ray Charles. Damn you for ever leaving us. What are we gonna do now? I guess I'll just drown in my own tears.

[TheReverendJohnson]

Guitar player noddin on heroin?

[52fakeoutt]

@TheReverendJohnson LMFAO

[fnkdrmmr]

Ah, Soul music...jazz, blues, etc.

[anyeeelin]

me encantaaa :)

[hump1108]

NO ONE, that's NO ONE, will ever come anywhere near Ray. He was and is the definition of American music.

I first heard him in 1954 and have loved him ever since.

JB

[flitzthesoulreaper]

@hump1108 Way to go mister! I hear him first here in 2011 and am probably around 50 years younger than you but I have to agree! And...by the way you have my respect for using the internet!

[Luz5353]

@flitzthesoulreaper Maybe in 50 years you will be the one to love him for a long time, and someone saying that would probably make you happy. I heard him for the first time this week, love it! It's a musician I wont forget!

[Gurkengraeber11]

Bei dem habe ich den Führerschein gemacht !

[davidesoutilha]

just amazing... feel the music going slowly into your soul :) hes still alive his music make we feel him and i hope i can feel it till i die! this is music ladys and gentleman!! feel it!!

[963821]

[SpockstarRockstar]

For me, Ray Charles represents the ultimate in being a natural musician.

[fiesty74]

Keys , Keys , Keys !!!

[Lefferable]

Look at his fingers rolling across the ivory, smoother then a babies bottom!

[Mundharp]

Wonderful piano playing... Just needs a harmonica in there to make it perfect. John "Whiteboy" Walden, Philippines.

[Kinneballer36]

Was there actually something not awesome in the 60's ?

[DonVerduci]

Sadly, racism.

But I see what you mean :D

[ambroz99]

@Kinneballer36 My dad

[mattbarclay]

@Kinneballer36 LOTS of wars. Although hopefully we learnt from them.

[DarkNj1]

@Kinneballer36

ever heard of racism?

[yackon4game]

@DarkNj1 Lol racism is still alive and well man, just check out something on Fox News in the US.

[irszgatti]

@Kinneballer36 -Nixon

[oberkin]

@Kinneballer36 JFK killed? vietnam...mm oh what the hell it's ray charles i'm going to enjoy this

[240soundwave]

the Vietnam war

[lestatsluv317]

@Kinneballer36 Yes but those things usually included fire hoses and police batons. The music kicked ass. :)

[parasztphone]

@Kinneballer36 Yes actually a lot things, you know the USA is not the whole world.

[Shadowbunnyjedi]

@Kinneballer36 horrible racism is something not awesome about the 60's

[angrykoopa]

@Kinneballer36 Jim Crow

[240soundwave]

@Kinneballer36 Vietnam... i bet youv had alot of replies haha

[8269998]

has anyone ever played piano blues better and more confidently than in this 2 min intro?

[Prostylefilms]

Soul Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zjaypo]

How is there 22 dislikes? I didn't realize that there was that many frozen hearts on earth. If you can't feel this than you don't deserve to click on it.....ever again!

[tmf945]

The most important notes are played by those that play the least

[49kasey]

Whoops, my mistake, it was only dorodog.

[49kasey]

Why does everyone assert that Willie Nelson wrote this song? Check out Joe Williams singing this with the Count Basie Orchestra. It was written by Leroy Carr and Don Raye.

[jakolcoshisbluelow]

its obvious ppl are brainwashed by all this crap 2day they music.. real music died when we lost Ray Charles

[CaineNWA]

R.I.P

from Germany Good bless Ray Charles

[jhndnlds]

Thanks for the info dog

[dorodog]

Another GREAT SONG from the masterful genius of Wille Nelso.

Ray Price, Ray Charles, Patsy Cline, and many others became famous singing Willie Nelson compositions.

This was originally titled Night Life, and was first recorded by a major artist when Ray Price and his Cherokee Cowboys did it in 1963. Willie Nelson was one of the Cherokee Cowboys at that time, and sold this to Ray Price for a pittance of what Ray Price made from it

[MrTightHands1]

@dorodog This song was written in 1935 by Leroy Carr on Universal, Willie "Nelson was born in 1933 so he couldnt have written this song but you are right about alot of people getting famous off this song including willie nelson. Check your facts on the copy write on this song

[MrTightHands1]

Another GREAT SONG by the masterful genius of songwriting, WILLIE NELSON.

Ray Price, Ray Charles, Patsy Cline, and many others became famous singing Willie Nelson compositions in the 1950's and 1960's.

This song, Night Life, was just one tune of many to come from the mind of Willie.

[grandeligne413]

As close to absolute beauty as you can get...

[jhndnlds]

What caught my attention was the camera work. It is a little dark and fuzzy and has some glare. BUT that doesn't matter.The way Ray is framed by the trumpet player, and the zooming in and out to create that soft and hard focus is very effective. In my opinion, the visual effects elevate an already great musical performance to a true work of art. It should be in a museum somewhere.

[SonicProvocateur]

@jhndnlds Not just the cinematography, but the audio mixdown is amazing too. From Ray's voice, but the piano, solos guitar & trumpet and orchestra too. This is indeed a masterwork.

It's up there with the Brubeck live performances for jazz.

[WULFZERGE401]

is the guitar player B.B King?

[MrRocketFuzz]

22 people have a tumor pushing on the frontal lobe of there brain, causing them to be unable to enjoy an amazing, and perfect song. I say thumbs down to you sirs !

[yvesofzo]

I wish i was born fourty years earlier...genious

[XDthebeatles]

to fuck the 22 that did not like ಠ _ ಠ

[letsgo1015]

To jacopom95

Trumpet player is Philip Guilbeau.

[JoshuaTaylor]

This is the real shit, folks... Actual music is such a rarity these days,,,,

[ennui406]

@JoshuaTaylor  Totally Agree !!

[1909xxx]

...AND thinking: i´m tired of beeing lonely... i need a man- a good one!

[1909xxx]

perfect music for making some love!

[6who6killed6bambi]

His fingers are just flying over the tips of piano.....

[carolynhowell35]

one of his best i think ,love that man

[manuelclaps]

the only one....!!!!!

[963821]

EXCELLENT!

[gsdsteve]

This is actually from the album "Ingredients in a recipe for soul"

[hullygulley]

Is it Sonny Foriest on Guitar ? (Who was A great player & hellova nice guy)

[TheIsraDave]

how infinitely precious--Ray playing slow blues freely and expansively--you almost can't find that anywhere

[polacorp]

glenmiller2005, what can I do to be as funny as you?

[2quundar]

@polacorp just this name " glenmiller" is the answer to your question!

[transcendingzero]

where can I download this song, in what album is it? can´t find it, love it

[glennmiller2005]

@transcendingzero it's called the blues. everyone plays it.

[TheJuliusJT]

awesome performance.. great solos, though I think the guitarist was awful. R.I.P Ray Charles.

[poppy9398]

A giant indeed, but also the trumpet player!

[jacopom95]

who the hell is the trumpet player ? Miles ?

[applet93]

@jacopom95 The trumpet player is Phillip Guilbeau.

[metalerocrazy]

ISSO Q EH MUSICA EU TENHO PENA DESSAS PESSOAS Q CURTI BANDA EMO ESSE ESTILO DE MUSICA ESAT DESAPARECENDO EU TENHO MUITA PENA PQ JAZZ E BLUES E MUITO FODA E EU AMO OS 2

[Jake939393]

if only black people were still as talented and entertaining as this...

[sharonanony]

@Jake939393  If only White folks have ever been as talented and entertaining as this. THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY OR DEPEND ON BLACK FOLKS.

who music is the Therapy for. so blacks Did music for themselves. NOT WHITES.

WHITES LIKE IT, SO BLACKS MADE MORE MONEY. BUT IT WAS FOR BLACKS, LIKE CHURCH MUSIC.

So Blacks have really never produced to satisfy whites So Stop worry about the millionaire rappers today, that are getting theirs, with a couple beats.

[adriansilviu77]

really amazing....

[MrGretsch101]

i bet the person who taught the piano could see

and am so sure ray is better than him nd he is blind

he is a definitely a genius

[dlamberson]

@MrGretsch101 hey i listened to your remix. when you mix something that actually has a chord progression you need to make sure the melody and the chords line up otherwise it sounds wrong. Also even if its all cut up you should still be able to tap your foot (or dance) to it, it needs a consistent beat.

[ScaryNoise2woDope]

pls look at my sampled beat of this

song i promise its good

but not better than the original

Hats off for Mr. Ray Charles

[UngratefulLiving420]

hell yeah love the intro

[zerimobeats]

we all love him!

[TheAvgvstvs]

Oh! Good...

[impala327]

Heaven. Three choruses of pure blues from a master. Then, nice harmonies on the horns. Listen to them moan. Long Live Ray!

[innitdoe1979]

the guitar player's style is a bit plucky isn't it? hmmm

[vdbennett317]

Fantastic! a great Rainy Weather tune.. slow & easy. Ahhh to have Been There.

[casanovaUS]

this's real music... so real... R.I.P Ray - my hero.

[easyfriend71]

I can't tell if I like the guitar player or not. Anyone else thinking that?

[songster50]

The sweetest 2 minute piano intro you'll ever hear...!!! Thanks for this post.

[xhaleonce]

Ray is do-n his thang ,, however we gotta give it to the guitar man as well (look and listen @2:06) Yes thats alright!!!!

[xhaleonce]

Nothng but  pure GENIUS****

[anklebreaka03]

How can one have such mastery of the keys without vision....I have been playing piano for over 10 years and this is just....Amazing is not even the word. Ray was a musical genius of monstrous proportions, rivalled by no musical artist EVER except i'd say...Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart, and Michael jackson.

[priyothered]

You missed Sinatra in that list bro.

[anklebreaka03]

@priyothered Ya a lotta people tell me about sinatra but I havn't really gotten into him yet or listened to much of his music, but i know some people live and die by sinatra. Any good songs i should listen to that u'd recommend?

[rumputuski]

@anklebreaka03 Oh, so many. My Way, Strangers in the Night, Moon River, It Was a Very Good Year, That's Life Something Stupid (with Nancy Sinatra), New York, New York

The Cd My Way: The Best of Frank Sinatra could be a good start.

[qtip1064]

Another great lesson about tempo. He keeps the tempo steady and he has great pitch.

[cementerioclub]

sweet guitar player

[BigDawgBluesHound]

Incredible.........I love the old school stuff and Ray is definately one of the GREATS

[randomrob1968]

huge

[jekka7]

im not sure if anybody paid attention to the SICK camera production in this clip.

[Taurus43774]

Considering the technology of the era, if you see both the Brazil concerts, the director masterfully captured Ray's mood, emotion, band and Raylets!

[Mundharp]

Simply.. AWESOME!

[montes707]

man Ray coming with that face contorting stuff on this one...my goodness..

[LeftForBlues]

None of todays music makes me feel like this, and I tell you it's the best feeling I've ever had.

[innitdoe1979]

@LeftForBlues

ur daaamn right! i feel exactly the same way!

[renascidosdascinzas]

amazing

[nimrodlev333]

Who's on the Guitar?

[LeftForBlues]

Fantastic, simply fantastic.

[LynneGo]

Now THIS is the blues.

[ranknonsense]

[LETRS]

[matveisbc]

[aaronoia]

most of these men died poor...

[yiohe]

That doesnt matter , many men died rich and have been forgotten .They are now in youtube ,causing comments and feelings,they r rich.

[sandys7571]

@yiohe A national treasure.

[thechurchofdave]

@aaronoia Not Ray. He did his part to put an end to that.

[Gagagrr]

Ray can play the kind of blues that'll bring out the cold chill like none other! Anyone knows the chords for the turnaround?

[jakedam]

D7, Eb7, D7

G7, C7, G7, D7

[biglloyddobbs]

Perfect.

[9mej]

it hits you right where it should do the soul i love it

[STATS47]

AMEN!!!

[hatgirl09]

right...i'm getting the whisky out... anyone up for a round, just hold out your glasses. :)

[750tblack]

sweet sweet so soothing

[nunicorng]

I run out of superlatives to describe his greatness

[impala327]

Ray playing a slow blues makes me feel sooooo good. My roommate Kathe had this record back in the day and I cranked this UP when she wasn't around...

[warhead2211]

dam... wish i could download this.... it's nice.... so smooth

[oPR3ACHERo]
