[undercoverbrother67]

Absolutely tremendous! Only Ray could take a Beatles song and totally outshine them with it. Incredible!

[elyazzoo]

[karzymimi42]

[Schneckenhuber]

in my opinion, the best version of this song EVER

Tank´s for that Ray

[TheRukongai]

I prefer Justin Bieber's version.

Kidding.

[grimTales1]

An excellent version! :)

[colleen1870]

Will always love this man and his wnderful voice.R.I.P dear Ray.

[NateStephens77]

Best there ever is.

[Lawen78]

Both versions are excellent

[TheRukongai]

Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2011 !

[UZUAKPUNDU]

It's always excitingly different when it comes to "Uncle Ray". So, Let it be! NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

[Rozeane0]

Linda versão!

[elyazzoo]

goosebumps



[TheLegoComander]

this man is amazing

[sheisnotmymum]

But mr. Charles, you know that it can't just be nowadays. Without logic, it will go wrong as shit fucks. That would be terrible, am I right?

[undercoverbrother67]

check out ray's version of eleanor rigby... its good too

[karzymimi42]

AMAZING!! I honestly love his version better than the beatles!

[ringading47]

Yeah, Ray - youve got it - play and sing on - whereever you are -

[husseindeep]

ray is senstive

[Kristmarc2010]

Love some Ray...

[Hendrix92TheUniverse]

true music, true truth.

God bless.

[KingKobrah]

Sounds good ray :-)

[mebloke69]

life is strange,Great Spirit gave Mr Charles a little time to see his bro drown to death then closed his eyes but brought BIG stories to him.. blessed soul,honestly

[08Gaspy]

un vrai bordel

[pinkiboy2000]

@08Gaspy c'est ne pas un vrai bordel. C'est le plus bon version de "let it be". J'aime les songs de ray charles et il est un bon chanteur. Je ne suis pas d'accord aec toi et ray charles est grandiose!!!!!!

[moondog294]

oh lord this is a great from dirty mac but ray it makes wonderful thank u guy

[TheDurochers]

Come hear my "Let it be" version on my channel pleease ! :)

[chizemaf]

absolutely brilliant..the best version in my books

[tjumsen]

one of the best song`s you can jam guitar too

[isabelamportela]

i love love love love it

[Macaulay415]

Love

[alenaruto9]

in such a song is much more emotion as in the most songs today ... we should think about it :/

[Junus07]

Ray Charles forever...That's music!

[Lawen78]

Wow awesome!

[yeshanwei]

damn sweet version, gotta like it. he made it his own, all of it, but especially everything after the bridge

[gsdsteve]

Of all the cover versions of this song, i'm sure the Beatles liked Ray's the best. Paul actually wrote The Long and Winding Road with Ray in mind.

[lennon9410]

i am a beatles fan i like this version too

[thejancz]

In my opinion the Beatle's "Let it be" was one of the best songs on earth - until I heard this wonderful version!

[builtstrong2lastlong]

hopefully wherever ray is right now, he wont need those glasses no more and see that sun shine upon him, this is unbeleiveable music

[rnunez58]

36 people didn't let it be!

[zachscullion]

wow i bloody love youtube i have discovered some amazing videos on here like this little gem better then the beatles...in my opinion no offence to the beatles but ray smashes it.

[1978blueGREEN]

@zachscullion It's great to find such awesome clips, great musicians, legends., live performances. I agree with you my friend.

[Macaulay415]

Amazing ...

[houstonm05]

Not sure if it got better but I stopped it after 45 seconds. Definitely not as good as the Beatles. Reading the comments this is definitely a pro-Ray Charles group so before you get all uptight it's just my opinion. He obviously wasn't a bad singer just wasn't a great song for him.

[Flippyguile]

@houstonm05 You should not hear thinking of the Beatles version, you should just hear it as something different, and then you might really like it a lot.

I am a Beatles fan

[TheAbodeisHumble]

@houstonm05 nah man, i dunno. I've never heard a ray charles song before this one, and i can honestly say that this is better than the original beatles one. It's more flavorful.

[Bobcatchuwah]

@houstonm05 saying that Ray Charles " obviously wasn't a bad singer" is like saying Michelangelo wasn't bad at doing ceilings! Why would you post a comment after admitting you gave it 45 seconds? It's a 3 min 28 s clip - is your attention span really that short to listen to it all then pass judgement?

[ben780312]

Great man. Great song. Great music.

[BarryOcuda]

35 people are racist.

[6o483910]

why should people dislike good things? evil minded dislikers! you are just being jealous you cant achieve what a blind man achieved.

[lennon9410]

this is music today music sucks

[MultiBLUETRAIN]

What a color, over there

Please a say the Let it be, for thanks!!

[showaddy11]

the waens kin sing[gies a haud of that ]like he did with there good songs. gie him a paint brush. he will do the same. in his words. he can see three. i am not the person to deny him. he taught us all we have to know

[TheLegoComander]

wow thats a really beatiful song

it`s so great

[invisibili2010]

I'm Italian and I love Ray Charles. I prefer his "let it be" version than the beatles's one. :)

[bolder2009]

'Let It Be' was originally written for Aretha Franklin. The late Jerry Wrexler confirmed that it was first offered to her. When she didn't record it, the Beatles took it back and recorded the classic version that became a huge international hit. Aretha eventually covered it. So this rendition might not be far off from how Paul originally envisioned it when he wrote it and offered it to Aretha, who also happens to be one of the greatest exponents of Gospel and Blues based piano.

[onelove779]

Youtube search G FAM - LET IT BE!!!! AMAZING REMAKE OF THE BEATLES SONG!!

[Rickertism]

speakless

[nathan6044]

and when the night is cloudy there is still a light on me shinin' till tommorow let it be

[nagisan5919]

cool ! 

[danyboy27100]

nice ...really beautiful



[teddy7x]

I love Ray Charles and his music, this version of the song is absolutely amazing. But just out of curiosity why is it ok to unite on hate towards people who hit the thumbs down, for whatever reason... We are so quick to hate and judge nowadays that we have become nothing more than a mob. People forget that beauty and innovation comes from individualism and difference in opinion, not "yeah, what they said".. LET IT BE and unite on positivity, otherwise keep the hatred to yourself

[gsdsteve]

the Great Ray Charles

[naruto56666]

definition of soal.



[samuelibarra]

paul mcCartney create 34 accounts because he is jealous from big ray

[kadees21]

@samuelibarra Oh com'on I'm sure Paul McCartney is honered to hear this song from another legend.

[IFantasticMrFoxI]

@samuelibarra Actually I think Sir Paul would truly appreciate such beautiful music. One legend to another.

[jonathanarturo]

@samuelibarra Your argument seem's irrelevant, cause ray and paul made this version n' way, don't be on hate child, cause ray and paul where in that time, big friends

[PInkfludz]

@samuelibarra why would he do so ? his version was way much better this one is good like i like ray song but Paul's version was epic

[hellocora]

J'ador !!! j'aime !! je suis kiff !!!

[neezy444]

[gabrielpassarella]

[edlerfelipe]

Every single thing he plays is just perfect. how can someone be that amazing?

[MarlowStardust]

[eastc0astluv]

[meistergroe]

Let's be fair, is not better then the Beatles, but is a wonderfull song from Ray... It is one of the best cover of this song!!! Amin !!!

[19ashley]

Dislikes 29 !! whats wrong with you ???

[1b2e3l4e5n]

Even better than the original! Who the fuck disliked this??

[TwistedSister09]

@1b2e3l4e5n Nah. This is good. But The Beatles's original is better. This is a fav cover though.

[1b2e3l4e5n]

@TwistedSister09 Yeah The Beatles' one is better but this is my favourite cover of this song too.

[elsycarolinaj]

i love ray charles,,, whi the FUCH DISLIKED THIS?? AHHH???

[labadcard]

mister RAY juste lui !!! comment dire il 'n'avait pas la vue mais nous on en perdrait les mots tellement ce qu'il a fait est ... beau!!!!

[vincedeliverpool]

ce n'est pas les beatles . mais c magnifique , c du ray charles

[baookaman]

who dislike this hasn't a good soul of music

[Miralle94]

Awesome... That man has so much soul, and it keeps spreading to the rest of the world, through his music. Wish I could have seen him live before he passed away, but I think he's with us every time we press play on one of his songs :)

[LadyBillieJean]

who cares if it's better or worst than Beatle' song? Music is a feeling, not a battle, he sang ot cuz he liked it, so just shut up and enjoy of the genious of Ray, as if you want to go to listen to Gaga, so go, music's fucking freedom,

[bbarrow22]

This isn't a Beatles song anymore. When Ray sings it. it's his song. True soul here folks.

[santies96]

i love this cover just amazing..... whisper words of wisdom,yes ray keep whispering us these words since heaven, GENIUS

[DavGarner]

Great we have these memories and this kind of soul felt music. I don't know if there will ever be another musician in Ray Charles' class.

[ylovecheval2001]

[qnp15]

ray charles my idol forever in our hearts!!!!!!!!!

[qo999966666]

beattles

[minnomouse1]

all I can say is that this gives me goosebumps

[Vanishedful]

People that disliked this dont deserve ears.

[jothamm]

How can you ever dislike this...

[Oliverno]

tools

[vachesarkissmessi10]

WOW! How soothing and peaceful to listen to one of the best in the world

[mea4e]

I 1 month old and I love this song and Ray

[marklorman]

No answers but let it be just the same...

[TheBadboyjunior]

@derfusskonig yes dork, you dont know what real music is!!

[MrFlash2341]

How does this not have millions of views??  One of the greatest ever!!!!

[harrypotterlover1ish]

great song, great man. thats all there is to it. ;-)

[rjam1974]

He is one of the few men that can do a Beatles song true justice. He never disrespects a cover of any artist which is why people love when he covers their songs

[EvilSquirrel1000]

ray charels is awsome man i got the highest respect for him u 25 disliking people do not know wat u are talking about

[luffy0573]

as far as you can fall in love you are never blind.and that man seems to know about love by the way he sings....

[nadeerag]

OOOHH my GOD! Thanks for the LIKE and DISLIKE button. That shows who are the assholes and COOL People!!!

[piaroxia]

rip ray charles

[marticeltractor]

Cold breeze runs through my spine... It's stunning!

[CovKid80]

Beautiful, the man knows soul, from one of his own or other people's tunes. He finds it/has it!!!

[NkamilN]

who the fuck disliked this ?

[wildwilco]

@NkamilN i guess the remaining people of the KKK clan, because they cant take it that a man which skin color is the color they hate, has way WAAAY more talent than every KKK member that ever lived.

[dubb1995]

@NkamilN The 24 people who disliked this must be the kind of Beatle obsessives who think it's sacrelige to cover one of their songs. This is an amazing version and as much as i admire McCartney, Ray Charles blows him out of the water as a singer.

[emlaai3b]

@NkamilN The Beatles fans

[LilMikye]

@NkamilN WHOS DA MOTHER FUCKER DISLIKED THIS?!??!?!

[mcderpen]
