Ray Charles - Song for you

[berad3]

Ray is always the man...but don't forget Leon Russell. He's the one who wrote this song.

[never4free]

oh ray i miss you...l'm so grateful for 'You Tube' videos and 'iTunes' ^,,^

[conlofico]

É UM MOMENTO MEU CANTADO...

[vviko7777]

the best one ever

[JerryLoethen]

No one sings this like Ray...

[newspolicy]

...forever.

[maderfakingprinces]

forever.

[Kalemanao]

If you were fortunate to ever see Ray Charles perform... The only words needed to express to the experience is to say, "I saw Ray Charles perform."

[4i5zFiNeSt]

wow. i can imagine.

no flashy lights..

no outrageous visual effects..

one person with a microphone..

[MasterReid12]

Donnie rocks, but I don't think anyone can sing with the kind of emotion ray does. He just tugs at your heart and really makes you feel his joy and his pain

[standaccused67]

listen to gerald levert sing it. he does this song  much justice.

[madonnacw]

Love Ray's rendition of this song but Hathaway's is the heartbreaker. Heard many other versions I liked,Usher, Buble, but Donnie "owned" this song

[issarss]

blues are my fav. type of music and ill always miss all those blues writers

[NeXt0091]

his main music-style was jazz...

but youre right =)

[mcleod029]

Quit being so dramatic ladies! Well written song but Ray Charles' voice did it more justice than anyones

[beatsbooze]

Ray was getting close to the end here, what I really like about it, he was using an all-black, very talented orchestra. (No, I'm a white guy) They really put it together. This Man was "a one in a generation" talent.

Any screwball losers want to spew any racial crap, slither off to your sandbox at the porn site!

Had the privilege of seeing Mr. Ray charles a couple of times in person.

I'll take that with me.

[BICIZTODO]

MMM RAY ERA CIEGO¿?

[RastafariLawyer]

si era ciego.... el perdió la vista de niño a los 7 años le apareció un glaucoma y x las malas condiciones sanitarias en las q vivia y x falta de recursos para tratarselo, lo dejó ciego de x vida

[adelicioustowel]

yes.

[Ferrarimusic86]

this is a leon russell song....donny hathaway did a great version. great ray

[sgd2822]

Still here listening. Love Ray's remake... Gaum U.S.A.

[BearWa11ace]

I am a human... as everyone who can read this is.. you don't have to be a jew or a gentile to know.. that KILLING YOUR FELLOWMAN IS WRONG... IT'S ANTIQUATED AND JUST PLAIN BACKWARD.. GROW A SOUL.. WAKE THE FEK UP

PEACE

ONE RACE

ONE LOVE

FREEDOM THROUGH LOVE

[Jamarda380]

Know your Music History THIS IS DONNIE HATHAWAY SONG this is one of the many remakes still a Beautiful song but PLEASE GIVE THIS ARTIST HIS CREDIT

[sgd2822]

Sorry, did not want to disrespect, just what I knew, Thank you Donnie, and yes I did here it days ago,. The song is great Guam U.

S.A...

[huntergatherers]

hathaway covered a leon russell song, silly =P

[bigsleep32]

"Know you music history"? This song was written by Leon Russell in 1970 and COVERED by Hathaway. It's you son who needs a lesson in music history.

[badmuhfuh]

Uhm, NO. It's a Leon Russell song. Mr. Hathaway did his incredible cover, but it wasn't his. Before you advise others to know their music history, do a little reading yourself. ;)

You're right in one way: Donnie Hathaway doesn't get enough love.

[sgd2822]

This song was remade, if i'm not mistaken-willie nelson and ray-, I love this version the best. One of my all time songs. Ray, your the best... Guam U.S.A...

[crossman441]

Ray is timeless and crossed all boundaries with his talent you can feel his words outstanding!

[stopandstare1309]

This man was fantasticly great!

Respect man!

[HaawHaw]

Isn't this a Donnie Hathaway song? :/

[crossman441]

this is a willie nelson tune i think

[darkoeric]

svaka cast - onje bijo legenda- ray is lagend RIP

[cristi1234321]

this is a song that not evryboude can listen and understand ...is u dindn't love and get hurt u do not understand what he felt when he made this song ... is briliant ..i purly love it

[Tbe2007]

[Nevele11productions]

***GOD BLESS the man who've posted this song. This song has become my favorit song of ALL TIME, my goodness...its amazing how this song healed my mind and my soul. WOW...WOW...WOW.

[carlosdangerous]

Just listen to that voice. It totally breaks your heart. I'm moved to tears right now....

[lifeblood67]

Listen to Donny Hathaways version of this song and you will lose yourself all over again, also read something about Donny Hathaway and then listen to his version, omg , i tear up just thinking about it.

[santificatur]

el mejor sin duda alguna canto impecable hasta el ultimo de sus dias un grande como pocos.

[shayaj]

anyone know if this was recorded on an album, and if so, which one?

[MosoSlicko]

Ray Charles - My World. A version was recorded for this album but im not sure if it was this one or another one.

[treehuggerdude4]

dam... that old man killed this song!

like... good killed. Like he did great!

:)

[jueves2000]

i didnt kno ray was da first to sing dis...wow..i thought it was donnie hathoways..

[MosoSlicko]

Its a Leon Russell song. Many other artists covered it but Donnie Hathaway was the first one to do so.

[DCisMINE]

Your wrong. Its Donny's song. He wrote it. Leon Russell was the first to cover it

[Tahrlis]

Leon Russell wrote this.

[drededsun]

I don't mean to sound ... well ... why does ray have a watch on?

[justinzkim]

probably the um... metronome of its hands ticking.

[ourari]

though i love the creative answer I think it has an audio feature. if you look at it, it has a very big button - probably to instruct the watch to actually 'tell' the time.

it could also be braille?

or just a bad fashion statement, though his wife always made/makes sure he dressed/dresses well.

[mqblues]

Beautiful Leon Russell song. One of the best ballads.

[mparusz]

I'm a fan Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana

but this song bautiful!

[schlo5398]

I love this song and Ray Charles is one of my favorite singers and piano players.

[manofmagic64]

is Ray Charles blind? this is my 1st time hearing of him

[JohnLoures]

Yes....and there are a good movie about him, about his history

[groOvyMurphy]

Yes...Check out the Movie "Ray". And of course his other songs ;)

[manofmagic64]

i heard this song at the end of a progressive rock radio broadcast,i thought it was beautiful

[rennekooo]

yes he was blind..... i guess your a child

[manofmagic64]

i kinda thought he was becus of the glasses and no im 15

[psycorique]

perfeito...o cara é um genio...

[RastafariLawyer]

[jaguilar26]

[mummiabozzi]

[sahandsesoot]

saludos

[hjdhww]

dios te bendiga maestro... mis respetos desde argentina.-

[MIKEGULLANS]

To bad Ray is covering a song that was written and performed by Leon Russell. For all of you that are saying Ray is great....he was. But again, this is not his song.

[flatboy542]

your gay

[HyldgaardKristensen]

It takes one, to know one XD!!!

[WholeBeing]

agree. Ray is a great artist, a real man. biopic helped others and me get to know him better. Leon's version is it for me tho. best IMHO

[hamhockdoc]

are all the musicians black?

[KRSONE4LIFE]

the great musicians are mostly black lets say it like this:)

[laritta88]

@KRSONE4LIFE: you should listen to some more music, man!!! you live in ignorance!

[ERIC2140]

Rest in peace Ray..

[SweetAsassin18]

My favorite song of all time!! I listen to this daily-would have LOVED to meet him and see this live!

[ghost60269]

Wow speechless

[XeagleXmarcoX]

oh man thats great..

[bau06047645]

if anyone knows where i could see this video in better quality let me know plz!

[ORIONVIDEOCOM]

good RAY forever!!

[bell2791]

to answer albanys question it was michael buble

[camiloarden]

único,loco, me llamo la ataencion cuando vi la pelicula sobre la vida de Ray, que un estado de eeuu, no lo dejaron tocar por ser black-men.¡Basta loco de discriminar! El arte es universal.CAMILO ARDEN

[eduardopoblado]

NOOOO

[albany1889]

I am trying to remember the name of a guy who did a beautiful version of this song. Can anyone help me.

[nicowellenbrink]

Can it be Donny Hathaway?

I hope It's him!:D

[QBsFinest29]

Donnie had the best version of all time ;)

[qbjharlem]

Donnie Hathaway did it, makes me cry...if you can find it, check it out...

[atomheartmother10]

Excellent

[kashmir746]

Yes his Genius and talent will live forever

[laitae]

His music will be with us forever! Thank you!

[Draugoth]

"Beautiful" Thanks for the video

Today is a beautiful day

[Spurgeon123]

the first black entertainer that crossed over to bring about racial harmony, but its sad that so few do the work of God God bless the peacemakers

[joshuahg]

would you say the same about some one fighting for gay marriage? after all, to ban gay marriage IS discrimination and intolerant, much like racism is

[deadravekid]

my answer, YES! To "cross" boarders is

every soul's work

[maureenwasere110]

how is bringing racial harmony the work of god? its just a person doing the right thing! and not descriminating because of colour!

[fretbuzz520y]

agreed

[KWON138]

So true!

[mongega]

Do someones ones, when was this video made??? year???

[Medic83301]

I think it was 1993 .

[demonhordelock7]

Ray Charles you gonna Rock forever !, thank you for posting this lovely song on youtube. Cheers

[convertops]

[MaccabeeRidah]

Sooooooo deep, soooooo deep...

Classic.....

P.E.A.C.E.

[julaifa]

Uno de los grandes y genio de la música en una época que existía mucho más el racismo. Después de todo la música es Universal.

[Gottasos]

[ali22391]

[brightwood257]

[dianelablack]

PERFECT !

[sjbraitman]

I also recommend the versions by the Carpenters and Leon Russell, the song's writer.

[tatelabianca]

right on. Ray's version is obviously gorgeous, but I agree. particularly Leon's version. cheers.

[lizzzzith]

Te amo chiquito, te amo y haré todo lo que este en mis manitas para hacerte muy, muy pero, muy feliz, palabra mía, palabra de mi amor por ti, que serás muy feliz a mi lado, daré mi vida entera para hacerte feliz y que sonrias todos los días, que tan solo verte tenga ganas de besarte y acariciarte, de tenerte junto a mi, de temblar tan solo al pensarte y agitar mi corazón al sentir tu alegria. DIOSSS por que no estas ak mi amor.

Aneholos , ya ni escribir puedo, chin, mi amor te amoooooo.

なつかしい音が

[RiskGraffitiTV]

[derbent371]

clasic

[deegreene]

Thank you Ray for a beautiful song. Dad asked that this be played when he passed on, well Dad I am keeping my promise. I hope you hear it tomorrow when we all gather to celebrate your life.

[Freddysolis1987]

beautiful song and his rendition is simply beautiful but too bad he didn't write it.

[longrockwoman]

Maybe he didn't write it, but he brought it to life in a way Leon didn't, IMO. I love Leon, but Ray's version of this is much, much better.

[aopproductions]

top notch the best &all that

[neppik007]

Top  man a legend forever.........
