Willie Nelson with Ray Charles - Seven Spanish Angels

[jeffmagic32]

God was in a very good mood the day he made these two men.

[jeffmagic32]

I would rather listen to Ray and Willie read the phone book then listen to the music being produced right now.

[vonwhite26]

It was a monumental when Ray Charles pasted away...Can you imagine it when Willie Nelson goes..just a reminder that immortality is in the soul not the body..

[109strpks]

My papa's funeral song.

[tuffk]

Awesome, Awesome, What a pair of legends, Ray Charles ,,,9-23-1930...6-10-2004 Passed away at 74. Willie Nelson 4-30-1933,,,79 years old now

[0ttoSunday]

Listening in 2012 legends like these will always live on like if you agree

[harleydavidson947]

[kenzyjewell]

[TheRecluse68]

[beachlover54]

[xxwhitexboyx37]

such a good song

[BarbarosaVaquero]

It don't get any better than that folks.

Couldn't ask for a better way to leave this world.

[bambisbear15]

33/5087. That's how good this song is. and the other Million some odd were so intertwined with the music they didn't need to like or dislike it, they just listened.

[noftskernorman]

idk why. but everytime i listen to willie i get in the mood to drink... and also. willie has helped me think shit through relationship wise. THANK YOU WILLIE! may god be with you all!<3

[DirtyJoe333]

@noftskernorman ....... one of those days ty HEAVENLY FATHER

[pinkpuppy971]

i like this song.

[MrValley1990]

just love this song



[MEDRAN90]

I always invision this as the story an escaped slave couple... sad as fuck but an amazing song.

[abeutow91]

finger bang'd tha replay button! My girl got them spanish brown eyez! ugh

[abeutow91]

@abeutow91 this song was originally written by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser, and is Ray Charles' most successful of his top 8 singles! lol now ya kno

[PinbackBoiler]

"There were seven drunken beaners

Got nabbed by I.C.E.

Tried to 'scape to the desert

But they were too, fat you see.

The next day, in the hoosegow

I heard them scream in pain:

'If the ship us back to Juárez

We may never swim again!' "

[TheJenBong]

@PinbackBoiler Ah, ignorance... When referring to "Spanish" (or Spaniards) it means they're from Spain, not Mexico.

Educate your arse.

[sjk187]

Cool Song.

[TH3P3N9U1N]

the best

[Lhenson165]

thumbs up if youre under 20 and want to keep classics like this alive

[kidkick43]

I LOVE THIS SONG,I WISH I COULD HAVE MET RAY CHARLES.

[TheIronchef77]

gee......are they high?

[flutterbyx79]

@TheIronchef77 It's Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. I think it was required.

[MsPeytonplace]

I LOVE them both!

[acantujr1]

And why don't you allow playback on the iPad.....REALLY!

[Ansular]

Folks, I love the good older stuff, like Elvis, Sinatra, America, Chicago, Moody Blues. Often I say 'It don't get better than this. But seriously, it don't get better than this, except for Elvis, Karen Carpenter, Mamas and Poppas, etc. Can we just just delete all music past year 2000 and pretend crap rap, hip hop and people like Lil Kim, Kanye West, Stupid Dog, etc never existed?

[PureIntellect00]

@Ansular Now why u wanna say something ignorant like that i suggest you watch yo mouth u souldn't say dumb shit when u don't know what u talking about, but ya the crap u hear 2day on the hip-hop stations is crap but don't blame that shit on a whole culture just fucking ignorant,

[nisbettt2]

@Ansular i hate to tell you this, but there is good music now... and there was bad music when this song was recorded. are you telling me that we should delete adele's 21 album? or john legend's once again album? or john mayer's room for squares album? or bon iver's self titled album? HEY! does anyone know of an artist who has done music with john mayer, john legend, and bon iver? starts w a "k" and ands with a "anye"

[mattdaddyful]

@Ansular I LOVE YOU and AGREE 10000000%God BLESS YOU and YOURS

[SuperVixen5]

@Ansular I love music! Every band you've mentioned are great, however I unlike u do like music after 2000. Maybe your not listening to the right artists. Try Adele or Katie Melua, the selections may be fewer but not obsolete.I definitely agree the 3 "artists" you've named are jokes!

[MrChitown59]

Got to back and listen to this every so often one of the best.

[ytkuser]

oh hell yeah i loved this song :)

[GaryVuorela]

Great Song,Willie and Ray.Happy new year.GARY V.

[dominious69]

I think I was born a century too late. I can feel the love, loss and pain in this song. I still tear up listening to this one.

[paulcarroll19721971]

[pwhistleb]

Willie and Ray~~~~two American Icon's, it don't get any better than this...grab tha tissues.

[rcjohnsob]

Absolutely beautiful song. I need to do some research and find what inspired the writing of it.

[tbi0013]

one of the best songs ever. period.

[Freakypeepz05]

this song has a sad story, i tear up when i hear it but that might be because it was played at my grandma's funeral but still it's sad

[richardjilg]

Seven Spanish Angels took another angel home... Love ya Pop

[MrLegendloco]

THIS SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUSTIN BIEBER , TAYLOR SWIFT , LADY GAGA AND LIL WAYNE MUSIC

[ninnoseven]

True talent and heart felt music came from both... A dying breed.

[MrCarlwh]

[johnpsorgi]

[juliejunkyardx]

@1IIIIIIIIII1 - I wonder if somebody else wrote that same post at all. You know, without all the unnecessary caps lock making it them look unintelligent shit.

[unclecrump1]

[babez802]

[eclecticpyrat]

Makes me want to grab a gun

[MrTamimisa]

Love this song!!! Troy seals, the man who wrote it, is from Bighill Ky. I grew up five miles from there.

[kathleenb1947]

American treasures!

[docmo217]

It makes old, old people go back to the day when America was a real country and times were hard but good.

[sherlockmethod]

@docmo217

America is still a great country and times are hard, but they are good. This song is simply good music, period. Leave your politics out of it, Sir/Ma'am.

[ThePixelFaerie]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than this. <3

[unicornmama2]

i remember this being played before my uncle's funeral to my aunt and it mad me cry and it is still a tear jerker for me

[1bls]

Simply put "Legends"

[Duke24JG]

Oh dear brother Willie and belated Charles, they have took many Angel Home recently, and I'm crying for myself because of these great losses, but they are HOME AND SMILING DOWN ON US, PAIN FREE AND ALL NEW.....RIP ALL MY ANGELS..

Yes! Willy is so baked, per usual.

[toonful]

THESE 2 COULD GIT-R-DONE!!!

[UmmAlietha]

I wasn't even born when this was recorded, but it's gotta be one of the best duets OF ALL TIME!

[musicalcacti]

Come on, Willie!

[machineman98]

thats a good song.

[rockindaddy9]

I can't help but get a tear in my eye every time I hear this. Songwriting doesn't get much better than this!

[jesch1689]

[5275671]

@ThePixelFaerie ~ your not the only one, you can feel his soul going threw your body, `Ray Charles` is the greatest soul singer, ever!!!

[MrDogoman]

wow glad to have been alive during this  ...two great singers

[crazyradioman]

I don't even like country music but this is good

[kev40kev]

Probably 27 idiots who never grew up with this genre of country music . I think country music today isn't country music at all. If you are going to sing country then please sing country. I grew up listening to Will and Ray even all the outlaws . Waylon , Cash ,and Coe. Thanks for bringing back real country music with heart and soul in the songs

[pmartinet1]

God I love this song listen to it 2or3 times, they are the greatest Pat Las Vegas

[pmartinet1]

God I love this song listen to it 2or3 times, they are the greatest

[gsummerfield4u]

the power of music can bring 2 parallel universe's together god bless willie and ray and may the 7 spanish angels watch over there eternal life and soul !!!

[littleblackcloud84]

this song is absolutly amazing is a true shame that anyone could possibly ever dislike this...they cant possibly know what real music sounds like

[pa69cam]

I post this to facebook every so often, just to remind people what real music used to sound like.

[jessenuf]

@pa69cam  Me too...

[moralec61]

Gives me chills

[9875a]

This song was played at the funeral of my Pa five years ago, as of the 12, and at his mother's funeral earlier this year. No song could have quit the emotions behind it that this song does. Every time I hear it I imagine I'm still a little boy playing catch with my Pa, or I smell my Granny's home cooking. There was no man like my Pa, and there was not a single person who could ever cook as well as my Granny. I miss you both..

[DRAGON244818]

stop them ads

[Tylerfeigl]

i thought the was gok and tj erickson

[sadhappyize]

[smllwdfamily]

Wow!

[01Sharp78]

27 youtube idiots, one of the best songs ever

[exnihl]

great song!

[vinejare]

Come on....How can Toby Keith Lady Anta-whatever look at themselves in the mirror every morning knowing they are preforming worthless garbage when they could be putting something useful and original out like this.

[horselover3300]

one of the greatest songs ever played!

[warehouselarry]

Good Lord that's incredible stuff.  Legendary.

[strutyerfunkinstuff]

who would dislike this?? they must be talking about the ad at the beginning...

[Eternalsummersong]

What a beautiful sad song!

[Jeetsfan]

I remember thisbeing my Pawpaw's favorite song when I was a little girl. This is the first time I've listened to it since he passed away in July. Miss and love you Pawpaw!

[Corrigan61]

It don't get no better!!!!!

[tslayer87]

there is absolutely nothing better than watching two legends from different genres doing songs together and making some beautiful music

[BlueEyedGreyWolf]

I get chills every time I hear this song.

[deepwoodskentuckian]

such a beautiful song

[rootbeerhog]

Thats real music with feeling, sung from deep down inside.

[lathamra98]

how could anyone not like this

[shicks713]

i wonder who the 24 people who dislike this

[jaywind9]

@shicks713 probably ignorant kids that only listen to "fake" techno music and lady gaga, that never even heard of willie nelson or ray charles.

[Niknok420sh]

A classic, peace to you all

[morninggloryone]

This CD Rests in the CD Car Player.

[john9944]

Today is the great Ray's birhtday. To me this is one of his greatest tunes. It my not be the greatest. But, I love his emotion and the camera angle and add a little Willie, it is a classic. Happy birthday Genius.

[MrTommyheddenstomboy]

GREAT SONG! GREAT DUO. LOVE BOTH WILLIE & RAY CHARLES...KEEP PUTTING THESE GREAT MEMEORIES ON VEVO...LOVE TO YOU

[2003fordmustang281]

Every note that man hits on that piano he feels it just watch its amazing Ray Charles is one tallented man

[fischparov]

[sabunh]

@fischparov Damn you Auto Correct?

[MrTrueblue211]

[horshooer]

These two guys are the best thing to ever happen to music!!

[olpap53]

my paps favorite song

[deepwoodskentuckian]

one of my favorite songs

[PREPAREFORTHEKING]

time just flys by with no concideration for man...almost 30 years ago..WOW

[MegTMBAbingdon]

I got chills right up my spine. I love this song and these 2 amazing men that sang it. Neither of them performed it better than the other, they both contributed to the song perfectly. I love most kinds of music but music like this is what I grew up on so it's kind of like a home made of music for me.

[MalteseCross]

for the 24 people who disliked this song... you are all stupid, cause this is one of the most beautiful "Cowboy" songs ever written. 

[MrTombstone1954]

Anyone that can listen to this song and not find an appreciation have no clue what they are looking for in a great song! This was a great performance!

[54susieq]

my friend, sam and i loved this song. i still do. sam is in heaven, since 2004, but we all truly miss him. i hope the seven spanish angels are up there. we love you, sam. your friend always, susie

Ever since I was a kid, I've been able to "see" this song. I like all different kinds of music some new, and old, but ......Not many songs can do that.
