[arkady714]

This was the first recorded song I ever remember hearing. It was on my mom's eight-track on a shelf between the living room and the kitchen. I was, maybe, five years old. And at that moment, I knew what it was all about. My love of music never waned in its intensity. It was Ray Charles then as it will always be.

[LyonKiing]

i love you man

[ocularisdiabolus]

jazz&blues ..gospel

I always thought it originated from Joe cocker... hm.

[boomerang905]

MY MAN. Who even comes close to what this man was and still is. My word. Those Raylettes are cooking...... : )

[ClaPazzini]

I'm 15 years old, and like my dad and my granpa' i love RAY. 

[Tommer13DK]

@ClaPazzini me too!

[Dudeness95]

@ClaPazzini Oh yeah? Well I'm a fetus and I'm mesmerized by RAY!

[countryhoney28]

My dad and mom loved it and instilled it in us kids as well. No matter the proper dance assigned to this, I know my arms, fingers, and head always move and bob when it comes on. People driving by or sitting in traffic get an eyeful and think I'm looney until I roll down the window and they hear the song playing. I am 100% forgiven and have even had people shout out 'what station??'

[honeybee7700]

wow miss you ray! rip!

[slideaway1994]

MASTER!!!

[boomerang905]

Ray Charles is the only musician I knew that our mothers and fathers liked and we as young folks loved equally. Everything he ever did was fabulous and this is definitely my favorite with that little cha-cha beat. Go baby. I love me some Ray Charles. When he'd come to the Regal theater in Chicago, the women (including my mother) would go crazy. He was a blind man with more game than any one I ever saw lol :D Thanks!

[steven2be2003]

I love this song..it fits in the world today especially with these crazy young girls..WHY LEAD ME THROUGH A LIFE MISERY WHEN THEY DONT CARE A SHIT ABOUT ME..DAMMIT UNCHAIN MY HEART..!!!

[kristinlee]

what is that rhythm? Rhumba?

[SwingMan1937]

@kristinlee It certainly sounds almost rhumba-esque, doesn't it?

I think it's actually something like merengue, but I'm not sure. It's 100% pure Ray Charles, though. ;)

[nightwalk87]

@kristinlee yeah rhumba;)

[teimaster]

@kristinlee salsa

[ArwenCarina]

@kristinlee It' MAMBO. :)

[ArwenCarina]

@ArwenCarina And it's similar to SALSA someway.

[chevyss454cui]

Ray is the King!

[SlaniaDK]

thats not bossa nova...

[SwingMan1937]

@SlaniaDK I know - it's more a reference to an enthusiastic shout by Eddie Haskel once upon a time.....

[ernjorge]

@SwingMan1937 @SlaniaDK Not bossa nova, but pretty close!

[boomerang905]

@ernjorge ...sounds a little like mambo cha-cha...but then that's a Chicago phrase lol. It's jumping though and when I hear it I do the mambo.....it's so cool and rhythmic! :D

[TheFaZum]

after watching a movie about ray charles I loved this music...

[MissAnulcia]

@TheFaZum Me too :)

[bhaskarchak2010]

Outstanding, what a voice...

[mkl62]

A #1 hit for Ray Charles on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 87th R&B song of the Rock Era. It was also the first #1 R&B song of 1962. Not a bad way to begin the new year.

[LOPOPOROBUH]

MAESTRISIMOOOOOOOOO!

[pattyaaron]

You got to LOVE that brass section!

[thalia71298]

he was an extraordinery person!his was everything and nothing in same time!i believe that he can see more important things than others!and he's been a lot of bad things....thank him for beening him.......

[Savvynlady]

when Ray came out, I fell in love with the song. still love it. He could do R&B, pop, Country and work it well. RIP Ray.RIP.

[SwingMan1937]

@Savvynlady Pretty tough not to fall for this one upon first listening - that's the way it was for me, anyways. ;)

If you're up to hearing Ray at age 19 fresh out of the McSon Trio for his first solo record, I've got "Th' Ego Song" by Ray backed with a 7 piece on a 'Swing Time' label 78 from 1950 here:

/watch?v=M2JQnSQPHNU

Ray's got his Nat King Cole hat on there & it sounds like an embryo of what would later become "Hallelujiah, I Love Her So" 6 years before the fact. :)

[CAFEVER1991]

@Savvynlady RIP RETURN IF POSSIBLE!

[11193dom]

@ratadepueltolico yeah



[wuioplikymnjbvnb]

There´s no way you don´t like it. What a icredible voice and the instruments are great too.

[trollmonger2]

This is the genious of Ray Charles. It's amazing that a blind man can come up with music as great as this!

[fntime]

@trollmonger2 More amazing, a moron that can 'write'. None are so blind

as those who refuse to see. Now go home and get your shades, cane

& dog!!!

[trichburgh]

beautiful man. GOD's work

[stevengaunt]

"pimp" lol

[Rowland108]

That's girls from the wonderful Cookies on backing vocals

[flormoly]

What a voice!!!

[theDanovo]

This is I N C R E D I B L E

[jrandall6]

it's not bossa, it's a latin groove like merengue

[KiaraRoxATT246]

RIP RAY. THAT MAN WAS CLASSICAL BUT A PIMP

[spirosparadise]

@KiaraRoxATT246 what means pimp ?

[KiaraRoxATT246]

@spirosparadise i mean he cheated on his wife and has grandchildren children from over 6 different fams

[AgentCarter]

@spirosparadise a pimp is a man who manages prostitutes.

but in a slang context, it can mean a man who has sex with a lot of women.

[fntime]

@AgentCarter I am going to appoint you, the offical translator

for the human beings. You can explain to humans, the slang.

[AgentCarter]

@fntime not sure what gives you the authority to do so, but i accept the position

[tigerpaint1964]

pure brilliance

[FliegerFelix]

we play it too in our brass band!!!

[undergraundracing]

[i]I would like to see also the essence of this song but the version of the movie, it's great that piece of film[/i]

[KiaraRoxATT246]

mmm ray charles true classic.

[KiaraRoxATT246]

[KiaraRoxATT246]

UNCHAIN MY HEART I NEED TO LIVE TOO.

[COURTNEYSTEELE23]

;) RAY

[holle9108]

best of

[TrabalRipoll]

This arrangements with a "sabroson" flavour are very very triggering. The back lines of the quartet of voices are very powerful. I will carry on playing, definitelly. Thanks Mark.

[billchew450]

Lots of Ray's stuff gets blocked from YT over supposed copyright issues.

I love it when ones of his gems is actually posted. Thanks so much.

[JeffN727]

A bonofide classic! Thanks for posting, Mark.  Sounds great!

[kentherockinman]

Great vid, SwingMan! Just want to let u know the sax solo is different on the 45 rpm version of the song. This song has always been a long time fave. Thanx for the post.

[taurusmetalrat]

Awesome!

[sideshowtink]

Just wonderful!

[donbenham1]

Thanks, Mark
