  • This Dude is awsome.Thanks for the music Ray M.S. Pembrokeshire West Wales.

  • wow, men!

  • ray charles gave many common songs a smooth sound that no one could touch. and (no surprise) i think Margie is just too fine. great sound!

  • vai Brasil!

  • suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uper

  • My dog Bonnie passed away this morning.....and this actually eases some of the pain. thanks again ray x

  • Amazingly so good! I love it! Ray, The Raelettes, and The Orchestra all congeal to the PERFECT groove!

  • My legs seem to like this song.

  • 31 people who dislike are deaf

  • divine

  • My boner ...

  • Крутой дядя!!!!! реально крутой!!!!!!

  • Ohh myyy, I cannot believe I've forgotten this song! I believe it was also recorded in the Atlantic sessions - the record from my childhood the and one I found in New Orleans recently but havn't spun. The open 'echo' piano and tamborine are like the later Edwin Hawkins Singers sound I also love; feel like I'm in church. And then the ladies give voice - Heaven! And now I can see them. This is so good. Music used to smile more - and do it cool.

  • Genius

  • His talent is staggering. We'll never see the likes of him again.

  • bardzo ladnie poprostu superzajebiaszczo xD

  • Te get a job in the music business today, the Raelettes would need to get boob jobs and wear string bikinis, no matter how well they sang. Who needs beautiful harmony, when you can have whores dancing by a pool?

  • @juanbuenostiempos

    You are one ugly motherfucker bythe way and a real shitstain on American society and culture .A pile of your own shit would be more desirerable to look at than your sorry ass face.If you had 1/10th the talent of Ray's backup singers you would have to put all of your talent in a garbage can.But,you have no talent.So give me the phone #'s of your big breasted mom and sisters so we can set up a date where I can give them a very memorable ass fucking!

  • @jdhamiltonx2 How ugly all the things U say !!!!!! Puajjjjjjj

  • Brazilian concert? Are you sure? Where? I'm from Brazil.

  • Ray Charles gave 10 of his 12 children one million USD cheques each in December 2002 at a family luncheon, while the other two could not make it.

    I wish i had an old man like that.....i never saw one penny from my old loser of a father...

  • @wreyoG er...dont get me wrong..but are you saying that for a man to qualify as a good father, he has to give you...well..money?? dont you think that is a little bit more than superficial? without your dad, you would not be born to this world. just sayin though, your comment bothered me, i dont mean to be offensive.

  • @zaleenaabdullah it s easy bringing a child to the world..the hard part is actually being responsible towards that child if you know what i mean... no offence taken, my comment is purely personal, you're not obliged to understand it...cheers!

  • @wreyoG  :)

  • Women chorus didn't look like prostitutes in that time...

  • Damb.

  • Is it possible to get more laid back than this? Ray baby, you're a genius. I always though this song was a bit corny. I guess it's all in the feel and the fact that you believe it Ray, and you make us believe it. God bless you. Rest in peace.

  • el mejor

  • fuck the beatles? you sir, are an idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • Not just an idiot but a national socialist and racist. You needn't notice his stupid comments.

  • Rays female group was called the RAY LETS and the inside joke was that meant LET RAY. He did each and every girl that ever worked for him. He was FANTASTIC, my favorite musician of all time BUT he was a womanizer of the first order

  • You seem very interested in ray charles. I hope u have seen the film aout his life already. They actually wanted to finish it before he died in 04 but.... well he died.

  • such talent

  • literally , i never lisern to this stuff, im the biggest rap / hip hop head ever!!! but i watched the movie wiv jamie fox in the ova day , n ever since ive jus had to play rays stuff. he was fukin awsum!!! jus wish i was into him earlyer !

    and plays in between the girls Margie (Rays mistress) is the first girl to the left of the screen standing right beside

    Fat Head
