[jeymery]

Un morceau de ma jeunesse....

[POWPOWBOW]

Gucci Mane - Ray Charles. Still gettin rememBURRRRd

[ohmybabyjesus]

Kanye is fucking talented so is Ray but i'm sure ray is happy that his music is being passed down into a newer generation.

[51013asumdiver]

ray charles real name is ray robinson like the boxer so ray changed his name to ray charles so people wouldnt get him mixed up with the boxer

[2k858]

ray is soul country and gospual yes yes amen.

[PapuhLeanDocka]

why are the great pianist deaf?? More rappers need to be hearing impaird then.

[arjunbanerjee]

best line: she knows a woman's place, right there in her home

[sometimesilovelife]

@arjunbanerjee more like the kitchen .. amaright

[zachisaniceperson]

Why r all The Top Comments About Rap Artists Being ''Talented''? Who the FUCK CARES IF U LIKE RAP! They'll never Ever Come close To Ray!!!

[TheFreddy93]

I, I, I, I got a woman..:(

[chaserox1]

its awesome how jamie foxx sounds exactly like him in the movie and in some of his recordings blows my mind haha

[ogWolf131]

@chaserox1 he deserved 3 oscars

[34jaxx]

Beautiful

[JazzSoul1016]

ohhhh yeahhhh

[51013asumdiver]

ray charles is the best no one can beat him not even kanye west

[chrismarinskates]

halo niggaz has good teste

[131killacali]

i know you motherfucker be tapping your foot to the beat(;

[Relhots]

You guys realize it was Jamie Foxx in "Gold Digger" not Ray Charles right? Nor was it sampled, The lyrics are different but the sound and beat are the same.

[SwaggerDagger93]

@Relhots It's true that Jamie Foxx does the intro in "Gold Digger". The background vocals in the song, however, is a sample of Ray Charles' voice

[MrLjupa]

okayy who is the smartass who disliket this ???

[Skinhitta]

I can play this every morning when I get up.

[MrZheid31]

ray charles was a god

[lunareclipsez]

Why is everyone haten' on Kanye he made Gold Digger for Ray because, he wasn't even famous! So Kanye made the song to help him until he died on 2003 or 4 but sadly the song was released on 2005...

[JChinQuan]

@lunareclipsez You got a lot to learn, kid.

[JChinQuan]

@lunareclipsez There's seriously so much wrong with that sentence it makes me angry.

[scvsiebe]

@lunareclipsez hahahhahahahhahahah xd

no way!!! .... you got a LOT LOT LOT!!! to learn (A)

[csol2013]

@lunareclipsez. Ray Charles is and was famous when gold digger was made you moron. He made a classic song into a hip hop song, which helped himself and he wasnt just trying to help Ray Charles out

[iloveforeigncars]

@lunareclipsez what the fuck

[JChinQuan]

@iloveforeigncars I know... Stupid fucking moron.

[WombleWarlord]

Honest to God, not trolling at all... but Kanye's version of this is sooo much better!

[treysongzloverism]

i saying she's a gold digger.....lol

[XGamerSG]

I need some good explanations from 94 people!!!

[JewMusIim]

@XGamerSG I need a good explanation from you.

[JewMusIim]

I don't know if you this, but a guy named Snooks Eaglin was the original creator of this song. Check it out....

[JewMusIim]

@JewMusIim Snooks Eaglin-I Got A Women

[LouissimoX]

Ahhh, man. felt very awkward on the third stanza there. Ray Charles: Fights against Racism but apparently not sexism. xD Amazing song, though.

[atapiarojasadrian]

he talks about a hooker

[Nervioz0]

94guys havn't got a women

[smceo28]

you're on the original song now, so stop complaining about kanye and jaimee's "gold digger" and enjoy this!!!!

[Tmanstext]

Really everyone? Blues music and Hip Hop are totally different genres. If you don't like Kanye, it's most likely because you like Blues music and not Hip Hop. It doesn't mean that Kanye West sucks.

[Hallelujahkay]

@Tmanstext Rap came from Blues. Just as pretty much everything else.

[Tmanstext]

@Hallelujahkay But rap ISN'T blues. It's rap. You can't really compare them, they aren't even all that similar.

[arkee71]

@Tmanstext you are wrong...ive played and studied the blues for over 20yrs...and rap is a direct descendant of blues...as is pretty much the whole of american popular music...blues comes from african field hollers and chants that begin in africa...and they were using these hollers, melodies,and SPOKEN WORD...long before they hit the slave ships...so if you want to know where just about every form of popular western music originated...look no further than the blues....period

[Tmanstext]

@arkee71 I know. But I'm referring to NOW. The two genres have separated enough that they aren't very similar anymore.

[arkee71]

@Tmanstext wrong again...just like you say your different than your parents now...just wait 30 yrs and see how similar you are

[Tmanstext]

@arkee71 I never said I was different than my parents. I said that the blues are different than rap.

[arkee71]

@Tmanstext i didnt say they were not different...you said they were not that simliar...and thats a stupid and incorrect statement...for they are blood

[Tmanstext]

@arkee71 But music evolves, thus it is not stupid to assume that, over the course of many years, one style of music that is derivative of another style will eventually become much, much different from the original style. Just because one genre comes from another genre doesn't mean that they will always sound similar. Comparing Blues music to modern rap is comparing apples to oranges.

[bengo940]

@Tmanstext true, maybe that's what happening with some modern music, it's evolving.

[arkee71]

@Tmanstext the more things change the more they stay the same...sure music evolves and is different on the surface...im talking about listening deeper into it....isnt it really the same at its bone core?...classical and blues are different...rap and blues are almost the same music

[wernerhertzog]

"she knows a woman's place, right there now at home" .. maybe he was right after all?

[benmoonmusic]

I have to admit, Kanye West and Ray Charles did an amazing job with Gold Digger. But you know, nothing can beat the original.

Nevertheless, stop hating. I don't really like what Kanye did sometimes, but he's still an amazing artist.

[MediocreCinema]

@benmoonmusic

an amazing artist? i don't agree with bitching or anything, but that's nonsense, yo

[DrHaZyM]

@benmoonmusic what do mean kanye and RAY CHARLES?! its Jamie fox

[benmoonmusic]

@DrHaZyM Oh yeah, I meant Jamie Fox. sorry D:

[ogWolf131]

@benmoonmusic my dick is an amazing artist. kanye eats assholes

[jarmeinjena]

ray charles the best musician ever

[skekze]

Kanye can suck my balls. I can sing this song better than that substandard Michael Jackson. Anytime, ya pretender, anytime.

[VictimOfBoredom]

@skekze Kanye doesn't sing... -_-

[chazzywinz123]

oh fuck off you kanye haters! He took a sample and made an absolute masterpiece as he always does... people shouldn't hate him for taking this song, if anything they should be thanking him, goldigger actually made this more popular for young people who would usually disregard old music of this genre, kanye is a genius stop hating!

[tomcheifwigham]

"Don't Compare, Appreciate" Best quote ever!

[acostadam]

kanye has a great ear for music. He sampled this and made a great hip hop song out of it.

Relax everyone, its 2 different eras. Dont compare. Appreciate.

[ogWolf131]

@acostadam fuck kanye. he sucks balls for a living.

[keenan871]

@acostadam Ray Charles has a great ear for music. He took a modern Kanye West pop song and backward-engineered an r&b hit.

[argie66]

Kanye west go fuck your self, listen ray

Also is good the version of john mayer.

RAY CHARLES FOR EVER

[pokefreakbror]

I think we can agree this is superior to Kanye West's version. But hey, it's nice to see some of the newer muscians that we hate, listen to awesome music... still, Kanye sucks.

[ungryd]

que grande raaaaaay... por favor, nada que decir.. hace poco nos volvieron a dar a alguien similr, epro version mujer, y murio winehouse

[Sergio42652]

esse video é muito bom

[spongepedro]

Disregard Kanye, listen to Ray

[TheITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

BILL CLINTON USE TOO SING THE SAME SONG! LOL

[lckmstr]

[MrKingolass]

Nice <3 :D

[Fanaaticadeanime1]

ÍDOLO !!!!

[Anurb223]

Ray Charles stole this song from Kanye West such as Bob Dylan stole Knocking on Heavens Door from Avril Lavigne

[MsTaichi2010]

@Anurb223 u are obviously way undereducated because avril lavine and kanye loser werent even a twinkle in some poor suckers eyewhen those awesome pieces of music were composed. think twice the next time u open ur narrow mind and release such a stupid thought into the atmosphere.

[ROMANAN07]

@MsTaichi2010 I Am Pretty Sure He Was Being Sarcastic About That Comment

[mashui99]

@Anurb223 lol, gotta love sarcasm

[dudette0911]

wtf kanye didn't do anything hop off his dick and enjoy ray.

[FetischPornoKing]

The Whole World loves Ray, Dino, Franky, John Wayne, Elvis, Johnny cash etc.

*AmEn!*

[bulbusbombard]

1:56 most sexist line ever.. yes ray charles!! :D

[kubotal2050]

who is west thug or wanna be?

[speardriven]

i truely....truely hate kanye for messin up Ray's music. So many ways you could do right by soul, and he fcks it up!

[123benlfc]

Hey! He stole this from Kanye West!!! like this, so others can see this fraud

[doopalooza]

@123benlfc only if you think 2005 came before 1954, otherwise the song is his.

[clairounette67]

@123benlfc you're serious ? I hope for you that it's a joke ! -_-'

[Anurb223]

@123benlfc hahaha is it that hard to understand? Can't you even look at the picture? Kind of old, don't you think?

[gerrelsaunders]

@123benlfc You're joking right?

[osmar6996]

@123benlfc ur an ignorant motherfukker to say that, ray charles is a legend kayne west aint shit compare to ray,

[RebecaC12]

You go Ray!! Damn good song, pure genious :)

[ImAlpoo]

Seriously how can 92 people dislike a legend of music!? Amazes me

[MrShuffler2000]

i went here cause lil wayne keeps on saying "ray charles to the b******t"

[ITALOCOSIO]

good theme I like....! I hear always..! ray charles... Idol

[cookielover120]

Haha, this is my dad's ringtone when his GF calls im like

I GOT A WOMAN

WAY OVER TOWN

And my sister gets annoyed its funny Who else does this?

[Sousaaboy666]

That guy is just incredibe!

[docturlough]

Why, thank you YouTube. All I've listened to today is Ray Charles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, so OF COURSE, I'm a fan of Kanye West!!

[theSavageHippie]

great song, but most boring sax solo ever..

[TheHeartAttacker]

oh yeah :D

[LeatherAndSick]

I feel so un educated not knowing that this was the original :( it sounds so much better then kanyes and I love kanyes version

[MrAAA17]

Whenever I hear a ray charles song i feel like a have to bob my head the way he would

[johnnyhustle]

Has anyone mentioned Kanye West yet?

[simonfergus1]

a womans place is FUCK YOU RAY CHARLES



[MaxJNorman]

@simonfergus1 he's already dead, you're too late...



[simonfergus1]

@MaxJNorman hello! I wrote that message while i was drunk and just thought the song was a bit sexist, so didnt mean to offend or anything. I do actually like this song

[lucasv99]

FANTASTIC!

[fredthesnail556]

u guys can hate kanye west i understand i hate him but still dnt hate Jamie Foxx he is a BOSSSS

[shshsud]

@fredthesnail556 kanye west is cool for 1 reason and 1 reason only: being drunk enough to bitch out tailor swift at the VMAs

[MrReed54111]

Oh man, What did Kanye West do? This song is too much of a classic to be sampled by ANYBODY my friends.

[KlayyJayy]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ell!!

[DumbledoreTheWise]

modern music has tried to destroy this song,

but you just cant destroy something as beautiful as this.

[TheCaWaLa]

@DumbledoreTheWise I don't think West intended to destoy this song...

[Morevial100]

Kanye truly overstepped his boundaries making a mockery of this beautiful song.

[AGSystem27]

This music it's from the 11's

:D

[AGSystem27]

@thenewseagul is a joke, 11s = 2011.

You understand? rude guy?

fucking idiot...can't speak with respect?

[thenewseagul]

@AGSystem27 God you are stupid

[AGSystem27]

@thenewseagul fuck you...

[stormatn97]

I finally know where Jamie Fox got his part from Gold Digga' this is way better!

[TheFordluvnfireball]

I THINK HE;S TALKING ABOUT HEROIN

[TasteTheRainbow560]

@TheFordluvnfireball i think hes talking about your girlfriend...oh wait you dont have one cause your an jackass

[MrMangelier]

[DjFaridik]

[themeleed]

[MikeRaheb]

Ray Charles is the man.

[thedevo01]

Is this from the 50's?

[fanchbrezoneg]

@thedevo01  from the album "Hallelujah I love her so " released 1957

[mawcybookey]

[channelcambridge]

[soul598]

88 man dont got woman

[trunkbreak3r]

1952 and up best ever

[roller053]

how is it sexist?

[mariaepsilon]

@roller053 I don't know, maybe this: 'She knows a womans place is right there now in her home'. But we have to understand this song was made in the 50's, so it was a different context. Still, I love this song

[pistelerkiller]

0:24 <4



[daniLAever]

im here becouse of kanye..but this song is a classic.. ray charles: a genious!!!!

[1classychic1]

ray charles is a must love

[Hyman74Roth]

What's sexist about this? I thought it was nice to be honest.

[Stifti187]

Nice song, A Piece Live History

[00juanpi]

this man with only one word: awesome!

[davyboy176]

Av got a woman 3000 miles away thats good to me YEHA, fcukn rock on Ray, Hi Mellisa

[DYSYALYS]

@davyboy176

LOL

[Sento35]

FUCK KAYNE WEST. RAY CHARLES <3

[meredeadman]

can't you dicks just listen to the music and not politic it?

[scratchedscreen]

@meredeadman no.

[chrisrodriguez20]

@meredeadman no. that is why they are dicks.

[MyNamesSashaKirkham]

@meredeadman NO. THESE PEOPLE ARE WANKERS.

[asdhaxxx]

I could enjoy it rly much so its simply a good song to sing n dance too :)

[beperez82]

LOL, when it is put in the light of our cultural norms, than yes it is sexist, but this is the 50's and 60's when this wasn't such a big deal. When GLBT community could not be open, when divorce rates where extremely low, and when woman 30 to 40 years before had just gotten the right to vote. Put it in context people!!!! LMAO

[vspruill]

@KievanTiger

I agree......he did care how people felt about his music and he himself was religious. He read the bible frequently and never hesitated to mention his love of God......

[desiguy55]

source for jamie fox/kenya west's Goldigger.

[moviemasters67]

Even Ray knows bitches ain't shit

[LoveOnGoldenWings]

It isn't sexist, he is amazing! <3

[yutirew]

how is this sexist? he's just saying how much he loves his woman

diffrunt time

diffrunt mentality

[sexytokeburgers]

HATERS LISTEN UP.... Ray Charles was sexist. in fact, most of America was sexist. so im asking you to please understand that the culture that Ray lived in was completely different from ours when it came to women's rights.

[RitvarLegend]

u are all going to hell this is gospel.

[sexytokeburgers]

@RitvarLegend what?

[KlayyJayy]

@sexytokeburgers This is a redo of a gospel song what made ray charles fantastic was that he just didn't give a fuck about what religous fruits though

[MrEdgarbarret]

This is music!!!

[7luckymexicans]

this person might be 1 of the best ever

[steveconn]

Jamie was a good friend of Ray's during the film, and he blessed Kanye's version, so it's cool.

[K3N7CR1P3]

is this where kanye and jamie got goldigger from? that's kinda messed up if they just took it. i thought artists made their own stuff. anyone could modify a song.

[squishyfroggie]

@K3N7CR1P3 they're allowed to sample a song. of course they would have to work out a deal with whoever owns the legal rights to this song in order for them to use a bit of this song in another song.

[RipuBhatia]

@K3N7CR1P3 no he added a rap to it! It's all good music is for sharing anyway! That way more people could have heard of this song!

[thiago4931]

Só ídolo quando vi o filme dele

[MsAguszia]
