i love this song soo much evertime i wtch the movie "SandLot'' i cant stop smiling its just a beatiful song and Ray Charlies sings it soo well (: God bless America! <3
We went to the National Archives a few years ago and saw the Declaration of Independence. I looked at my wife and she just started crying. We stood there for quite a while. Later that week, saw all the sites, but especially Arlington and the Smithsonian. Best trip we ever took in the US.
I keep coming back to this site to listen again and again. Can't get enough of Ray singing this song. Talk about goosebumps!! If you can't feel patriotic, just listen to this song.
Thanks to all you guys and girls who serve in uniform. God Bless You!!!
You never served this country. You have never been to DC, Philadelphia or anywhere. Where have you been asshole? What have you done mother fucker? You, and liberals like you are exactly what is wrong. You want, you are entitled? Pay some taxes mother fucker and serve your country. You stroke your little penis while we get it done. Fuck You!
There's no other nation like it, I love America. From our largest cities to our remote places, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Yellowstone Park, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Key West, Smokey Mountains, to the Central Plains.
Good Job, there is good and Bad in America like every place else. I was born in India and have lived here for 16 years now. This is an amazing country with amazing people. I have traveled / lived east and west, north and south, never had reason to feel unwelcome, my wife is from here and her family is amazing. Good to be here, and once again...good job, good post.
@AccessDenied55 This should just be our national anthem. It's a poem about "that shining city on the hill." What better of a song to convey the spirit of our country.
Forget all the political arguing. This is one of the most beautiful expressions of music America has to offer. Actually one of the few songs that has the power to bring tears to my eyes. I'm not afraid to challenge or criticize my country, and needless to say we have many problems to combat. However, this song transcends politics... Ray Charles is a genius...
America is communism smh i hope america falls an i mean falls hard this world can do without them cock sucking fat pieces of shit think they know wuts right for every body..America has the most college grads but it is the dumbest country tell me y? their gullable fucks sucked in by promises from a nigger president that hasnt did nothing but throw america into more debt.. america was once a great country it has let a bunch of rag head basically destroy it their dyin but destroying america slowly
This Country is so divided right now. It's almost like it was decided to be this way. Democrat or Republican. Left or Right. Up or Down? At this point in time it really does not matter.
unfortunately my friend, hate will never be deleted. but know your better than, stander taller, and and will get more out of life than those who cant see past themselves and experience the world. Thanks! Ray was great!
It was no accident that 20 years ago my immigrant parents had me; in the greatest country that the face of this planet has ever witnessed, therefore I will continue to fight for this country's freedom in the United States Navy.
@jue0883 Yeah man killing people only is like a past time for us Americans, We ever got resorts where you can bring the family to gun down indians. Reminds me of the time me and my buddy Keith did that, I mean yeah we love to kill!!! Lol no your an idiot. We don't kill innocent people. If anything why not tell this crap to the innocent muslims in your country you kill.
@Sagemaster00 Sorry to inform you, but we do kill innocent people. We kill many innocent people around the world. Our politicians have ruined this country and, our country's image. Now Obama passed the NDAA which is absolutely insane because it destroy's our constitution and our Bill of Rights. Now they wan't to pass SOPA. Ron Paul is our last hope. Don't be a drone and listen to the media, we have poor peoples blood on our hands from Iraq to Afghanistan, from Syria to Libya.
@cfxboxmoh maybe if you'll ever be in a combat zone you might know why we kill "innocent" civilians, fuck you and fuck Ron Paul you pompous piece of shit
@TO13PR Your comment made absolutely no sence. Do you have a family member or a friend in the military? If I were you I would shut up and, pay attention to what they have to say before you embarrass yourself. Clearly the media has made you one of their sheep. That comment made you look utterly retarded. Get an education kid.
@cfxboxmoh Lol It's hilarious how most of you internet people are still gunning for Ron Paul..He's not gonna even get close to winning. It's Gonna be Romney or Gangrich vs. Obama
@AccessDenied55 When you can spell the candidates name properly then get back to me. Ron Paul is in a statistical tie with Obama and, Romney Gingrich isn't even close. He didn't even make it in the Virgina primary ballot. Only Ron Paul and, Romney did. Sheeple like you need to do their own research.
I tear up everytime I hear this beatiful song, it all comes together here in AMERICA!!!!! CROWN THY GOOD!!!! SING IT RAY........MY GOD!!! BLESS US..... THANK YOU LORD!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this ~ I will believe until the day I leave this earth, that we each can leave a lasting difference in this world ~ you just did in mine.... thank you, angela
a main part of this song is about the beauty & abundance we have in america and today, there are a lot of people struggling. another part of this song is that God may "crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea." patriotism is not about being proud of WHAT YOU HAVE but proud of WHO WE ARE and brotherhood is the best quality in Man. I'm tired of liberal people being accused communism because they want to look out for others. Together we stand.
@AccessDenied55 I'm going to vote republican for that reason. I don't think Obama's solved the problem, like he promised to, so now I think it's time to give someone else a chance.
@Bzamm615 Im a Independent.. And I think he deserves another 4 years. He killed OBL, something Bush or Clinton didnt achieve. It took 8 Years for Bush to drive us into this hole, even some Republicans think Bush was a horrible president. He put us in a war to find WMD's which were never found(Obama took us out of it). Bush used up the Clinton Surplus for wars. Come on bro, Economies dont get fixed in 4 years...not even 8 Years do they get fixed. Try 10-20 Years
@AccessDenied55 It's obvious that the Bush administration was a disaster, no one's denying it. That said, most of what contributed to the death of Osama was accomplished through policies established by Bush. If a White House insider is to be believed, Obama hesitated when he was told that the US had found Osama, and that the plan was only carried out because the president and his administration were overruled by millitary/intelligence officials. And on the economy, it's not like Obama's...
@AccessDenied55 ... making it better at a slow rate. If he was I'd try giving him some more time too. Instead, he has more than tripled the national debt. I just think we should get him out of there while we still have two pennies to rub together
@rintintinification Another person indoctrinated by the Republicans and Conservatives. They throw any lie out there, you don't even question it, just believe it. Even after proof, many such as yourself still don't believe Obama was born in America. How people such as yourself are so easily indoctrinated scares the hell out of me!
Extremely beautiful. I love America. Someday, God willing, I and my family will be American citizens. Thank you very much for protect the world, and Brazil, for so much time from communists and religious radicals.
God bless you American people and free you soon of your present political problems.
I'm not going through over 2,000 comments to see if I've duplicated others, but if I had my way, this song would replace the "Star Spangled Banner" as our national anthem.
It's a much more beautiful song and it celebrates the majesty of America today (arguably the greatest nation in all history), not just 1 battle that happened 200 years ago, and is far easier to sing - how many times have you heard the "Star Mangled Banner" at sporting events, especially when "free" is raised an octave?
"...God shed his Grace on thee, He crowned thy good, in brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."
How ironic. That's a great, broad description of the life, career, and indelible influence of the incomparable Ray Charles himself. Maybe that's why no one ever has, nor ever will, sing this wonderful song as well as he could. RIP Ray, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
PS - If anyone finds any of the above "offensive", I am not responsible for your making that choice. U are
I never understood why uploaders feel the need to filter comments they don't like. And given this video, it's actually a bit ironic. This is America, we all have the right to free speech.
NO HATE BUT YOU PEOPLE FROM DE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AMERICA IS THE WHOLE CONTINENT !!! I AM FROM MEXICO AND I AM AMERICAN TOO!! DID YOU KNOW THAT MY DEAR FELLOWS, ITS A FACT THAT YOUR COUNTRY AS WELL THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT BUT DONT GET MIXED UP WITH THE TERMS
@veracruzan Thank you for making us all be politically correct. I'm an American because I live in the United States of America because our country's name is America "The United States" is just an adjectival phrase to describe our country. Similar to "The People's Republic" of China. China is the name of the country. Just like America is the name of mine. You are not an American you are Mexican and if you want to get technical call yourself North American... that is the name of the continent.
Sorry, I thought the name of the continent (in fact, of two separate continents) was "America". The USA is not the only country in North America, is it?
I find this song way more touching than the our current national anthem and I'm not saying that our national anthem is bad its just way more touching down to earth soul
I live in Japan. But t love my country,. So many thing things wrong with it but I would never change it for a thing. I love it. I wish I lived there. I love you America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, I am a 13 year old American citizen. I don't give a fuck if you talk shit about something. I don't give a fuck if you talk shit about some celebrity. But honestly, you can go shrivel up in a dark, sorrowful corner if you talk shit about my country, where i come from, or anyones country. 'Cause you know what? That's just pitiful and miserable. God will not "don shed his grace on thee".
@BWR630 Actually, I'm glad to be from a country where freedom of speech reigns supreme: where each person is allowed to say whatever they want, no matter how silly stupid it might make them look. I'm grateful that I'm free to disagree with whatever I hear, but I'm far more grateful that people can say things I dont personally agree with. That, to me, is the real wonder of America. Now you and the poster of this video doesn't understand that, and so this comment is pending approval.
I see where you are coming from but i have to clarify on thing. Your comment should have been directed towards the producer of this video. not me and the video maker or just me. The concern of my comment was to preach to youtube that i cannot imagine who is evil and cruel enough to post a comment of hatred on this inspirational video. Your allegation suggests that i am questioning the constitutional right of free speech.
@BWR630 First, it's guarantee, dummy. Second, have you stopped wetting your bed yet? Answer, "Yes" or "No". You would be lucky if you grew up like me; but, one thing is for sure - you WON'T grow up being like YOU! Because people will always be laughing at you (maybe they already are puke).
@EarthSteward You get your kicks out of trying to win arguments with people 80 years younger than you. 1: I never wet my bed. 2: What are you? A pussy? Is dumb-ass a "bad word"? Oh i'm sorry, old geezer, i didn't know we are in the 17th century. I didn't know 'potty mouth words' we're naughty. I don't give a fuck if i spell guarantee wrong you can kiss my ass,loser. I would kill myself if i ended up like you some fucking old ass grouch living on welfare and 401k in boca. Peace Deadbeat.
@BWR630 Well I certainly was right about one thing - you do make me laugh. Remember, "Small dogs bark the loudest" and that is why you should change your ID from BWR to ALLIGATORMOUTH/CANARYASS. Tell me, Gator, were you born stupid or do you have to work at it every day of your life?
@EarthSteward Obviously you should stop talking bro you don't make comebacks you ramble off random animal names with ass at the end. You sound like a zookeeper with taretts syndrome. And no i wasn't born stupid nor would i try to be. Now, lets try this again old man. Are you going to make comebacks or not?
i love this song soo much evertime i wtch the movie "SandLot'' i cant stop smiling its just a beatiful song and Ray Charlies sings it soo well (: God bless America! <3

"...God shed his Grace on thee, He crowned thy good, in brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."
How ironic. That's a great, broad description of the life, career, and indelible influence of the incomparable Ray Charles himself. Maybe that's why no one ever has, nor ever will, sing this wonderful song as well as he could. RIP Ray, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
PS - If anyone finds any of the above "offensive", I am not responsible for your making that choice. U are

I never understood why uploaders feel the need to filter comments they don't like. And given this video, it's actually a bit ironic. This is America, we all have the right to free speech.

@veracruzan Thank you for making us all be politically correct. I'm an American because I live in the United States of America because our country's name is America "The United States" is just an adjectival phrase to describe our country. Similar to "The People's Republic" of China. China is the name of the country. Just like America is the name of mine. You are not an American you are Mexican and if you want to get technical call yourself North American... that is the name of the continent.

Wait, whaaaat...
Sorry, I thought the name of the continent (in fact, of two separate continents) was "America". The USA is not the only country in North America, is it?

Hello, I am a 13 year old American citizen. I don't give a fuck if you talk shit about something. I don't give a fuck if you talk shit about some celebrity. But honestly, you can go shrivel up in a dark, sorrowful corner if you talk shit about my country, where i come from, or anyones country. 'Cause you know what? That's just pitiful and miserable. God will not "don shed his grace on thee".

@BWR630 Actually, I'm glad to be from a country where freedom of speech reigns supreme: where each person is allowed to say whatever they want, no matter how silly stupid it might make them look. I'm grateful that I'm free to disagree with whatever I hear, but I'm far more grateful that people can say things I dont personally agree with. That, to me, is the real wonder of America. Now you and the poster of this video doesn't understand that, and so this comment is pending approval.

I see where you are coming from but i have to clarify on thing. Your comment should have been directed towards the producer of this video. not me and the video maker or just me. The concern of my comment was to preach to youtube that i cannot imagine who is evil and cruel enough to post a comment of hatred on this inspirational video. Your allegation suggests that i am questioning the constitutional right of free speech.

@BWR630 First, it's guarantee, dummy. Second, have you stopped wetting your bed yet? Answer, "Yes" or "No". You would be lucky if you grew up like me; but, one thing is for sure - you WON'T grow up being like YOU! Because people will always be laughing at you (maybe they already are puke).

@EarthSteward You get your kicks out of trying to win arguments with people 80 years younger than you. 1: I never wet my bed. 2: What are you? A pussy? Is dumb-ass a "bad word"? Oh i'm sorry, old geezer, i didn't know we are in the 17th century. I didn't know 'potty mouth words' we're naughty. I don't give a fuck if i spell guarantee wrong you can kiss my ass,loser. I would kill myself if i ended up like you some fucking old ass grouch living on welfare and 401k in boca. Peace Deadbeat.

@BWR630 Well I certainly was right about one thing - you do make me laugh. Remember, "Small dogs bark the loudest" and that is why you should change your ID from BWR to ALLIGATORMOUTH/CANARYASS. Tell me, Gator, were you born stupid or do you have to work at it every day of your life?

@EarthSteward Obviously you should stop talking bro you don't make comebacks you ramble off random animal names with ass at the end. You sound like a zookeeper with taretts syndrome. And no i wasn't born stupid nor would i try to be. Now, lets try this again old man. Are you going to make comebacks or not?
