Ray Charles Interview Part 1-The Ed Bernstein Show

[UglyKidMetallica81]

I hate when people say "blacks" or "whites"..so small-minded.

[HamisHArtist]

I Love this man

[AndrewsOpinion15]

DEAR GOD GIVE US BACK RAY CHARLES IN RETURN WILL GIVE U CHRISTINA AGUILERA !!!!

[and313]

here you can see how important parents realy are. she placed these thoughts in my head....... what you learn as a child you live as a grown up.

[1978blueGREEN]

I'm so fucking tired of the bullshit comments; "I'm white and blacks are so talented" or "I'm only this young age, but I know what good music is.." Can we please just LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND THE PEOPLE WHO PREFORM?!! "Blacks are so talented in music..." is the top rated comment?!! Give me a fucking break all ready! That's one of the most racist things I've ever heard! LISTEN AND ENJOY! RAY GODDAMN CHARLES was FUCKING BLIND! What does color, race, or creed have to do with this?

[j2thetizniz]

@1978blueGREEN am black that aint a high rated comment because its true its people on this case black people just accepting a comment

[envypdaboss]

he look like a music version of fred sanford, shout out 2 ray charles tho!!!

[Batistamaniac1]

Ray is playin my favorite Song rite here!

Ray Charles left the world peacefully,he accomplished all there is to accomplish,he gained success,and made peace wid all he could from his rough past,i think Ray left his world in peace years back.

[HarryRosewood]

what a modest guy

and ed slightly reminds prime russian minister Putin)

[RicketsXXII]

I dont mean this in an offensive way, i am a huge Ray fan, but i chuckled a bit when he said "the way i look at it,". because i realized although he is blind he sees better than any of us

[Riana2134]

I can't help but smile , he was a very tough dude , miss you Ray Charles<3

[yungdragon31]

u cant help but smile watching ray.

[combot2001]

DId Ed really have to go off naming all the bad shit that happnd to Ray? Like you can imagine Ray is thinking to himself there "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IN SENSITIVE PRICK" Like wtf? ANy1 else agree or is this just me?

[MrBastageicehole]

He says he is not a genius, yet within the first two minutes he brings in Isaac newtons law of every action has an opposite and equal reaction!!! 1:41

[MirLjudima]

@MrBastageicehole so? xd

[MrBastageicehole]

@MirLjudima he's a ledge xD

[MirLjudima]

@MrBastageicehole well,he is xd

but a lot of people know newtons laws xd

[MrBastageicehole]

@MirLjudima combined with his knowledge of music though, and blindness was not a wall for him(genius speaks) :)

[TheLeon2612]

Yeee! I have disliked first :)

[MegaFilthyMcnasty]

Why are people bringing racism into the thing....Ray Charles (and all black people) are PEOPLE, just like white, yellow, green, blue, etc.. If you prick him would it not hurt? If you cut them would they not bleed? I don't give a shit about race. Ray Charles WAS a genius. My favorite song is Cincinnati Kid theme.

[00laum1]

what is the name of the song he sings in the beginning?

[scorpioking1958]

@00laum1 What'd I Say

[melissa61088]

I can't believe he went through so much and he is still so happy with life. Think more people should be like him. but he did exactly what his mum wanted tho....he was so successful.

[noobdles]

words of wisdom.

[natazer]

man, that guy was cool

[lotten16]

it'd been an honour to see that man

R.I.P Ray

[CARLOS36325]

i can´t loving you ray charles cover carlos

( the best)

Brasil

[johnowensjr1234]

A truly innovative and inspirational figure in music and in life. We can only be thankful that this man gave us his gift.

[JakJoProduction]

Great respect for someone great, he is taller then he look.

[AntiMTVMovement]

RIP Ray. My family and I will always be fans of you!

[dboy24189]

I'm White but I allways loved black people & thats how it goes on for me(& will be) blacks are so tallented in music!

[Profetic]

@dboy24189 We appreciate that! You white people have great musicians too no joke!

[irszgatti]

@Profetic

ahhhh big sigh of yes

[eberth11]

@dboy24189 you are wrong, black people are bad, they are the evil, they're villains, you got to be far away from those harmful falks.

[TopRamenKickAss]

@eberth11 you're a fucking idiot.

[eberth11]

@TopRamenKickAss did you believe I was speaking seriously?

[wreyoG]

@dboy24189 I'm white too pal, but NO blacks are not talented in music..Blacks are the BEST musicians in the world!

peace

[TheRationalRant]

@wreyoG I'm sorry but how the hell can you say that all Black people are talented musicians?

[wreyoG]

@TheRationalRant i didnt say all Blacks..i said Blacks..and that means IN GENERAL..listen to those blues and jazz albums released between 1930 up to the mid 70s and you'll understand what i mean...cheers!

[TheRationalRant]

@wreyoG I don't think it has anything to do with there skin colour.

[wreyoG]

@TheRationalRant ok...

[TheRationalRant]

@wreyoG well i'm pretty sure that's what you're implying.

[surfbum5412]

@dboy24189 HAHAHAHAHAHA what a stereotype. Next thing you're going to say is that they are amazing at basketball. Talent has NOTHING to do with the color of someones skin.

[KLUNKET]

I'm not sure I like the comment "blacks are so talented in music".I appreciate what your trying to say, but it reminds me of when a white guy will say "I love black people, some of my best friends are black".To me that's offensive.

I myself am white, but I do not put any wieght at all on color.A man is a man. I have friends black, white,asian,hispanic,but I don't categorize them- they are all PEOPLE. Ray Charles isn't talented because he's black, it's cause he had music in his soul!

[ScienceSplat]

great stuff - love you ray! loving life and such an encouragement

[singerphildaniels]

such a POSITIVE outlook on life! i think that's the difference between successful and unsuccessful people: outlook.

[funkality]

yes!! It is not what happens to us that matters. It is how we look at the things that happen to us that matters.

[surfbum5412]

@singerphildaniels Ha! You really believe that "Secret" type bullshit. Many successful people have a negative outlook Keep on feeding yourself that BS though.

[singerphildaniels]

@surfbum5412 ok. maybe you don't realize how asinine you sound.

[surfbum5412]

@singerphildaniels Wow, amazing rebuttal.

[singerphildaniels]

@surfbum5412 dude. i'm not interested in debating you, though i'm being suckered into one by responding. it's cool that we have differing opinions on what drives success in people.

[mike020489]
