Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles at the Olympia

[somebody555551]

for the past few days i've been singing this song quite a lot. and everytime i sing it, i sing Etta instead of Georgia.

she will be grately missed

[eatthinkblink]

ray just raped my ears and i enjoyed it

[SOJ277]

I feel like his rhythm piano's really a piano solo in disguise.

[tikihead2008]

I LOVE Ray and this song, but I think someone played a sick joke and switched his keys onto that cheesy doogie howser sound before the song started..

[kwtsospro]

ray charles, you're simply the best!

[ocrix]

what feel... what feelingg.... amazing... amazing.. simply amazing story telling!!

[dpenny11]

his voice almost got better with age

[MrMinimall]

What people dont realize he could see far greater than any of us...

[parissmtv]

R.I.P Mr.Ray Charles Robinson

[MrIsairivera]

Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it... Just an amazing song and no one can sing better than Mr. Charles. May he R.I.P

[Streeetball3r]

How come when you type in "Ray charles georg" it comes up george nag not georgia?

[XFS540]

@Streeetball3r I said the same thing. I was just looking for the actual song, not a live performance. It's like the only Ray Charles song not on YouTube.

[AJMutschler]

Our jazz band is playing this for school. I cannot wait.

[p0w3rbik3]

pisses me off to see dislikes on this one.

[Hefajstos1]

@snoop0851 zgadza się. Miał chyba rację E. Sinatra

[BermudaProcess]

I'm singing this song at my class's musical talent evaluation tomorrow. ;)

[kuruma005]

[DrakeGrad]

[pasgiann3na]

RIP RAY!

[douglassilvanovinho]

[broxigar1]

Yes he is blind but he watch with his heart

[judge6754]

I like  Ray. enuff said;

[murkatron1]

Me and my girlfriend made love to this song. I can die now

[punkfan96]

iggy is the godfather of punk, neil young the godfather of grunge, ozzy the godfather of metal and Ray is the godfather of music

[Zonkoko]

@punkfan96 ? What about Leonin, Rolland de Lassus, Josquin Desprez, Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Debussy, Schoenberg, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Gil Scott Heron, Trent Reznor... and many, many others? Music has so many godfathers... Art, the bright side of mankind...

[besie0]

@punkfan96 Cant have you say that, what about beethoven, chopain, robert johnson etc.?

[HielkeA87]

Was he blind?

[noneyobitness]

19 dont have georgia on their minds, RIP Ray..

[JazzyJasmine36756]

Geeze, I had goosebumps at the word "Georgia."

[AlexMickeyMichalik]

@JazzyJasmine36756 same here, mate

[musicaviva2]

I love you..........Maestro!!!!!!

[MrPoupou972]

this is beautiful

[righthand48]

"Georgia on my mind" NOT mine, not in a godless barbaric state.

What next? Bring back lynching for the Blacks. Dispense with notions of justice and court cost, and just string 'em up in KKK country.

"Rainy night in Georgia" but NOT all over the world. Most states learnt from the ideals PREACHED by the 'Great' hypocrisy/democracy and actually believe and live them!

[CtrlCmdMusic]

Just Look at how he plays that Keyboard.. and i can't barely play that good even now... without looking on the damn Keys.... MAN THIS GUY IS A GENIUS...

[marti771771]

[randomlypeculiar]

[SuperWetwipes]

[madeonamacbookpro]

He doesn't need the same lyrics. He's talking about georgia, not repeating a poem. 

[andredervishyan]

Thumbs up if you knew that his name is Ray Charles Robinson and that he was a great man.

[MrShooter32]

@andredervishyan yeah he went went by ray charles because of the boxer sugar ray robinson

[petemize]

@andredervishyan "was"? don't you mean "is"? :D

[vd9498]

Amazing, Soulful, Inspirational, Real, i don't know what other words could describe him and his songs. He makes me cry how Amazing, Soulful, Inspiration, and Real his songs are. He's a Life Changing Person. He Speaks/Sings from the Heart. Just an absolutely Beautiful person Everything, Everything about him is Beautiful. All we need in life is *Heart* and thats what Ray shows us. Thank You Ray for inspiring me in Everything I do.

R.I.P <333

[IvanaDanza1]

CON LA MAGIA DE TU AMOR POR LA MUSICA... FOR EVER ALIVE!!!

[Oranges8]

The drummer looks like a bearded mr bean

[sinatrabooth89]

@Oranges8 omg, ha he does look alot like Rowan Atkinson

[808pipeline]

i can tell he has so much pain singing this and thinking about wat it was like growing up there

[madeonamacbookpro]

F&*$ the blind part, this guy was amazing in every way, blind or not

[abbieah]

such an amazing man! Love this song, i recently sang it, though the Michael buble version, i just posted a video of it on my channel, check it out! Hope you like it x

[andyBernet1985]

He was and is one of the best Musicans. In our hearts his fire is burning and his music is living in our memories!!

[ShailaLopezzz]

I would pay anything, do anything, to go back and see this guy in concert <3

[CoachTerp]

They sure don't make 'em like that anymore. God bless you, Mr. Charles. Thanks for the memories.

[WeHadFunIThink]

He is great but it's unfortunate he died

[mehmetursan]

when u grow up in terrible conditions u strive to find a piano to play.

[santies96]

he was'nt blind just seed whit diferent eyes ja

[jsabbath01]

blind yet a flawless pianist, singer and all round performer

[jsabbath01]

possibly one of the best romantic songs of all time

[TheMrThisIsNtMyName]

@jsabbath01 romantic ?



[timmit59]

The unselfconsious passion

[Wendybaybii2k8]

Why don't we have music like this anymore?

[wesmatron]

That man drips talent like it was sweat. Touched me to the core.

[vampiredragongirl]

Many ppl say there r kings and queens of music but where is Ray Charles mentioned? He deserved more than he had growing up; poor, no dad, his mom struggling, and his brother died, then he goes blind and ppl use him but REALLY where was his respect? we dont even have anything to call talent now its called editing....most ppl only recognized him before he died...*RIP Ray Charles forever in our hearts those of us who knew ur talent

[29fansMJ]

The thing i love most about Ray.......was that he worked so hard. He didn't have anything given to him. He grew up poor and then went blind..........but he learned to play piano without even seeing the notes he was playing, and his mother died when he was young and his dad abandoned them. But he kept his mind and stayed right and he is one of the most hard working and amazing Artist the world has ever seen. R.I.P. Ray Charles............better known as the legend.

[ay10ay10ay10]

ray the king of blues

[highonprozac]

he is just is soul...no words needed

[tenten929]

I live in Georgia and I love 'Georgia on my Mind' Ray Charles is an AMAZING artist. He had a special connection with Georgia and was able to write a song as he was blind. He has a special connection with music also. People of Georgia will always remember Ray Charles.

[MasterLink21]

OMG the feeling on this song...

[MegaTristant]

georgia on my ming....fucking awsome

[MrJazzadicto]

stop speaking about crap singers and children who don't know that THIS is music

[ChloeAway]

There are some people we shouldn't be sad because they are gone, but that we should be more than happy because they existed. Ray is one of them. He was Great, and he still is.

[kidXFUNK]

Casey Abrams performed this on American Idol solo week and it was amazing! I think Casey did Ray proud

[Apparoid]

@qweskater wtf is a casey abrams

[51merccoupe]

All the important happenings in my life, from the fifties to the present, have had background music by Ray Charles. What a catalogue of work! What a treasure! What an amazing man!He LIVES inside his music.

[nhadz16]

watch and heard Casey Abrams perform this...

[645twins]

I love this song.

I'm from Georgia!!

I love this song!!! <3 <3 <3

[funkykenshin]

You want to know y Beiber gets more views, cause the haters go to his page to thumb it down. If you just leave Beiber alone he'll be easily forgotten.

[bajan848]

young folks today do not appreciate good music. this song sends chills through my body.

[cokinea]

Impresionante. Ray Charles eminencia de la música, se compara con Mozart, Bach entre otros. Me hace poner la piel de gallina este tema. Verdaderamente increíble.

[HeeneyMeisterRocks]

am i the only one who thinks our ability to see only limits us?

[ShrapnelOnTheFly]

@HeeneyMeisterRocks Yes

[rastafarigenuino]

Los ignorantes ke han puesto aki votos negativos, son unos cabezas huecas, te keremos RAY CHARLES, eras genuino.

[davemunn1]

There's no feeling in music like this anymore............Only Money, How sad

[metalheadrebellion]

i hate newer music it sucks ass, i like this better

[zxssded]

hes not blind...its all a conspricy...just like justin bebiers penis and lady gagas ...woo hoo

[CANTINFLAS1713]

u dont got to see 2 make real music......

[manonhill12]

AWESOME

[matetak]

as I see, KKK have only eleven members.

[masterbasser68]

@matetak KKK? cuz if they dislike it they are automatically racist? im pretty sure you are racist for posting that. your first thought is to accuse them of racism without considering that maybe they might just have a poor taste in music. can't dislike because he's black -- that's racist.

[NeverlandInHeavenly]

@masterbasser68 I think it was meant to be a joke.

[masterbasser68]

@NeverlandInHeavenly i certainly hope it was a joke.

[Youtubitiano]

@hittingthekeys the KKK?

[Theodoric3]

I dont know what he said ,but I know it was right

[TheCesarLorenzo]

Absurd as comments!.....

[BoostonCeeltics34]

@TheCesarLorenzo

yes i know ! i don\t even know how those people can live with all of that hate :(

[crefos84]

@hittingthekeys I think deaf people...who cant hear art....

[phobal]

the sad fact of this video is that none of those fucking Parisians have a fucking clue what he is singing about. ahhhh Georgia.

[SuperChocolateSkater]

@phobal georgia was a girl of his right?

[phobal]

@hittingthekeys us crazy assed crackers. yknow.

[suesstuff1]

why can't we get any good recordings of the originals (not live)? Is there some kind of "ban" on it? I really enjoy watching the live concerts too, but sometimes would like to hear them as they were on his albums.

[800kalig]

10 people can't understand what "LEGEND" means...

[randomnest11]

I SAW HIM ON THE NANNY!

[matetak]

@randomnest11 oh, how good for You!!! But what does nanny mean?

[randomnest11]

@matetak its a tv show

[mondo78]

@hittingthekeys stupid people

[LaLora95]

Just close your eyes and listen. In this way I think I'm nearest him.

[bajanhunk]

The reason younger, crappier music will always get more hits than these timeless classics is simple. WE that love and appreciate the classics all have our own collection on tape, vinyl and cd..we pop one in and relax... We don't need youtube.

[BoostonCeeltics34]

@KingsleyEnnis1

heey i saw you say the same thing on the michaeljackson vevo page.... can i ask you a little question though... i'm 12 right and i went on the michaeljackson page (because i don't care much for today's music) and i read you previous comments and they made me cry so i came to this song because i find my peace in this song<3 BUT YOU RUINED IT FOR ME ! please i beg you to stop your hate.... these songs are about peace and how to find it.. im running out of tears to cry. :'( STOP!

[vinnybillups]

Worlds greatest.,Amazing how the State of Georgia accepted him back to the state and he came up with the states anthem,Georgia on my mind.

[vinnybillups]

Worlds greatest.

[psychoticman79]

@hittingthekeys hillbilly rednecks...seriously

[rouncer81]

@hittingthekeys i know, its totally nice... some people just dislike everything i guess.

[ibshredz]

@hittingthekeys dumb shits

[559ALTOSAX]

how can an actual amazing muscian like this get 580,000+ view and retards like beiber get millions manwhat happened to good music

[isaiahwillis95]

@559ALTOSAX  your so wrong....noone likes bieber haha

[BravoEchoNovember57]

@559ALTOSAX Because most people that like the music we find good are older and don't use technology nearly as much

[ElAlma83]

@559ALTOSAX its not so much the music, its more this new generation of kids that support that kind of garbage. the new generation have never heard songs like this one, so they will never know what real music sound like. i don't know about the rest of u, but i could never listen to a song where a 12 year old chump is trying to sing about love and making love, they barely started puberty and they want to tell us how to make love???
