"Fuck ray charles... I hate him for the fact that he has more cool in the tip of his pinky toe than there is in my whole body, I hate him for the fact that he's blind yet he kicks my ass at piano, I hate the fact that he had a much rougher up bringing than me and he still has 1000000000x more ta...

Ray Charles, if you ask me, was the best vocalist -- to this day, that qualification has not changed -- ever produced by the United States of America. "Uncle Ray" was a polished embodiment of someone who evinced soulful commitment to music and he sang with so much conviction, such that there was...

'i wish this song was . . . longer'. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

The Great and Timeless Sam Cooke. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

"Oh yea," so says one of the voices in this great song by Sly and The Family Stone. Wonder whether the story of the '70s will be complete without a generous reference to "Thank You." Many thanks to Sly and his team. A recent report ( October 2011) about him, somewhere in the United States, wasn't...

Many thanks to all those who made this performance so great, including the lead vocalist for so much devotion and some of the elements of Ray Charles he brought to the rendition at the piano. But, more than anything else, I'd really like to be with George Harrison. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

"For a week or two" Nduka Uzuakpundu.

The Great Sam Cooke; many thanks. Nduka Uzuakpundu

The Great Sam Cooke was a social historian; that the impression one gets from his "Chain Gangs"

Sister Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, at her best

Recalling the memory of my lonely times, as a youth corper, in Gombe, in what was then Bauchi State of Nigeria, in the early '80s. Great stuff by Wha-Koo. Nduka Uzuakpundu.

"SOULLL!! THE GREAT RAY CHARLES THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE QUITE LIKE HIM. " Nduka Uzuakpundu.

If theres heaven on earth it must be the Caribbean. Indeed! NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

It's by Otis "Magic "Redding. That's how Strong My Love Is, the title is." That was me on Announcer's Choice, a musical interlude on Radio Nigeria, back in the early '80s. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

"This song always takes me back to a night club in Amsterdam in the 60s where serving members of NATO Forces based in Germany used to meet to while away their weekends. There were British squaddies, GIs, Canadians, French and Dutch. We had fantastic time with the local ladies. Good old Sam Cooke...

I recall vividly th,at it was Mel Oxley of the BBC, who, in the early '80s, said just before the world news at 9.00 hours,"Cliff Richard, We don't talk anymore." NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU

I'm not quite sure whether the story of pop music in the early '60 would have been so memorable without such hit tunes as Cliff Richard's "Summer Holiday". NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

I'd rather it stopped "rainy" in Georgia; let it rain and Katrina in southern California, where, Albert Hammond tells me, it never rains! NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU

Brook Benton in "Oh Lord, Why Lord", captures the prevalent feelings of frustration and injustice in the United States,which fuelled the campaign for civil rights in the '60s. Perhaps, it does seem to me that BB would not have had the inspiration for this powerful song had the state policies a...

"Cliff Richard, We don't talk anymore", so said Mel Oxley, a newsreader with the BBC World Service, just before the news at 09.00 hours GMT, some time back in the early '80s.

Play this great tune for a conservative me at night. Many thanks to Beethoven. Nduka Uzuakpundu.

I really want to see George Harrison; I'm not persuaded he'd dead. Great stuff, this evergreen of a song. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU

I wonder how this appealing version of the great song by George Harrison will sound on short wave radio, if it were to be aired, at late in the night, from the United States of America to Africa. I guess I'd be rapt, wistfully, in attention. NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

A good song. I still remember very well that I was quite young, back in the early '60s, I when first heard Trini Lopez's version of "If I had Hammer", was back in the early '60s.

There'll be justice soon, with the imminent coming of the Christ I know very well.

Let The Beatles be. But let someone please tell me the number of versions of this great song that there are.

A bundle of natural beauty sculpted from an instrumental tune -- NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

I wonder through my private memories of the '80s that are related to this tune by the late "Uncle Ray" (Charles) -- NDUKA UZUAKPUNDU.

Vintage -- soulful -- isaac Hayes. Fare thee well. Even if "outrageous" Millie Jackson insists on sounding unaccommodating, I think she still crosses my mind and, quite honestly, I'd like to hold her in my lovin' arms. But I wonder what she's doing now.

One of the best songs I heard when I was about five years old, in the early '60s. The memory of that period still lingers. Great Ambrose Campbell and his team of music-makers.

A good performance by Stevie Wonder. I'll take this tune to paradise where I do hope to enjoy some pastime!

Great E.T. Mensah!

An interesting evergreen.Kudos to Diana Ross and her associates, including the accompanying voice -- Johnny Bristol.

Tunji Oyelana still sounds great; promoting African culture, via social commentary on the wings of philosophical tunes. Nduka Uzuakpundu.

A flash back to the early '70s. Interesting. Nduka Uzuakpundu.
