A Song For You - Leon Russell, Willie Nelson, and Ray Charles

[drtaranto]

John Mellencamp, Toby Keith and Shania Twain have NOTHING on those three.

[drtaranto]

That was amazing.

[utterbullspit]

Ray's version of this song moves me tears almost every time I hear it.

[MrJustinbama]

[MrJustinbama]

[Kaydoublu]

Shattering performance by Ray Charles of an amazing Leon Russell song. Loved it.

[hammerman7777]

[vabaker50]

[catepoe]

Irresistible. Don't just listen. Watch. Take it all in.

[Chino2339]

[ceodau]

Oh, I loved this! Love you Ray and Willie!!!!

[lurchthing]

willie was crying so i dont feel to bad about doing the same thing

[shinigami285]

@lurchthing I don't know how true this is, but I heard that the main reason why Willie Nelson was crying was because this was the night Ray Charles told him that he was was dying

[sevensman]

How do you spell REAL music?????.....Russel, Nelson, Charles

[AbsGuy]

Here are three men ... the real thing.

[tehamigo]

assinie !! a million dollar performer... with less than a two bit sound you tube..

fuck you you tube.. what a waste of time.. what a waste of my time !!!!

[YaHootie1]

Beautiful! Even Willie couldn't help but tear up.

[corusso]

this is the one!

[shaybefunky]

I hope Ray sings for us when we get to heaven. I sure miss him.

[DAVPK1]

@shaybefunky me too man ..... Ray was the coolest man to ever walk the planet , hands down .

[whiplook]

Does it get any better than that? Absolutely brilliant!!!!

[eveready5o]

I can watch this over & over again! All three of them are legends-so touching to watch Willie & Ray together for almost the last time. Their friendship goes back decades! Can't watch without tearing up.

[animerlon]

can this be any more spectacular!

[gigliott2000]

how could john mellencamp, tobey keith, and shania twain be billed AFTER this? this performance is suitable to be the encore of any show, ever

[PeterBullOlsson]

This is very very good, I have every vinyl record off Leon!!

[kmel5150]

@PeterBullOlsson Just got home from seeing Leon Russell.  Good show but hardly any interaction with the audience.

[wizardofwaste]

This should be beamed into space, just to show that for at least one shining moment culture did exist in America. And, you're right, it's a shame Leon is in the background, but having Ray steal the show from ya ain't all that bad!

[DaMusicful]

Does anyone watching this realize that Leon Russell is the master of this song? He had to sit by and get no credit! So sad!

[LouEvilCardz]

so sad because he knew he was about to lose one of his best friends....wow thats a friendship...and real music.

[TALLEYGREEN]

Best version I've heard!tears flowing~

[TheWestendbandit]

[Kotchawan1]

Lord have mercy........ Tears in my eyes too, Willie......

[SpaceElevatorMusic]

whoopsie goldberg is an american treasure!

[dmreeoogdaq]

Willie's not the only one with tears in his eyes.

[Mimimph]

@dmreeoogdaq you can say that again! Holy shit!

[Oilfieldkilla]

Love this version of the song!
