If Charles' performance would be properly timed we'd never hear such a massive song. That's scary thing to know, if you ask me. And he said he was gonna to fool around, haha! What a genius.
"i'm 1X, and I wish I was born 20,30,40 years ago/todays music sux" etcetc.
we don't give a f&@# who and how old are you, I only know that todays music isn't shit, you're just lazy to find good pieces in this jungle. You think it was different before? Time filtrated it, in 20 years some kid will say same things for this decade. It is up to YOU for which music will this decade be rememberd! Now, go out there, be brave, and search for new music, and be responsible for this generation inheritance
I'd like to point out something. You kids who are saying "I'm so young and today's music is bad" are far from alone. If you look anywhere (and I do mean anywhere) from opera to German death metal to even HIP HOP, you see the same thing: everyone says how today's music sucks. If it's not on the radio, the pattern is present. You're far from special.
Now then, if we were to all go and hit the 'dislike' button on these artists' music videos instead of WHINING, we could really accomplish something!
acording to rolling stone this is in the top 10 songs ever written. how in the hell does any of the other shit im hearing today have shit like 250 million veiws, and this has only 2 million. i'm sorry but i'm 19 and my age group and youger is a bunch of deaf ass clowns.
@danusmcgator first off this song isn't really that good it's just simple mood music for the any-man, but secondly to answer your question it's because they follow the crowd, their peers, doesn't matter how good something is, anything can be recirculated and memorized to be appreciated even if it's not good
@danusmcgator I'm only 23 but I have noticed something, every era has it's disco. It takes about ten years cream to rise to the top. When I was 11 the Backstreet boys were being called my generations Beatles by some and a band called 98 degrees were in regular rotation (if you don't remember them don’t look them up), now most people remember that era for Radiohead (OK Computer 97 Kid A 2000) and things like that.
@danusmcgator Fuck, you´re so right , I am 25 and I can´t belive the shit that there is no song which you can call real music today.When I am listening to this music I relaise how miusic should sound. FUCK JUSTIN BEABER ;LADY GAGA AND THE OTHER DICKHEADS WITH THEM!!
@danusmcgator are you fucking kidding? thanks to this we have todays music, yes music has had its "golden age" but we are still increasing our knowledge of music everyday, take dubstep the most recent branch from music, the detail and effort they put into it is amazing. The reason music videos like this don't have as many views is because the younger population want something they can feel. The younger population want fast paced and heavy music.
Ray Charles was way before the 70s. He recorded this song in 59, and if you're alluding to "Boys" by The Beatles, it wasn't originally their song, but the original was released after this in the early 60s. I'm the biggest Beatles fan you'll meet, but this is an inaccurate statement, if you're even saying what I think you're saying. I thoroughly apologize if I'm way off bc I probably am, but if I'm right, you're welcome for the knowledge!!
Religious arguments over a Ray Charles song.... I don't care what your religion is. Just debate about things like that in a place that ISN'T the comment section....
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

@Redflowers9 that sounds like an amazing morning, but mind if i switch the cigarettes for a blunt and a hot chica to dance with! greatest morning ever!

When I took Summer Intensive classes at my ballet studio, we did all kinds of dance. But, when we had our Jazz classes, we always danced to this song. I really like this song, Ray Charles is a very good artist.
Nobelwinner shut up man. We're all glad you've been able to conceptualize someone who's seen everything you've ever done and you're all scared and worked up about it. But just shut up, he's no Ray Charles.
