@jesswan100 Not all of us are ungrateful my friend. I love the music this man made, and all the others that came along with him.

I love when Mark Levine plays this on his friday shows.

simply wonderful, americans really do have some extra ordinary singers, and all you people like to do is complain, now that many are gone, old and bored you are left with a desert of auto tunes that can never inspire even an ant, so i thank God that i aint american, coz u people are ungrateful, and love bringing each other down,,,when you'll get down there, maybe u'll know what i am talking about!

@iltanail not to say that they're not great singers too, but there's just too many of them for anything to be clearly heard

i would love to see a version with just ray and stevie without all that other noise

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country. John Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. We're a long way from him, a long way from Ray Charles and "
America, the Beautiful, too.

@Belinda204 At the hands of wicked white Rulers and dictators of the Country. O surely those who Govern this country can be held accountable for "AMERICA" s' wrong doing when America is at war with another country you don't say Individuals are at war with another country you say "America". The wicked Generations of this country's Leadership is responsible for bloodshed,Slavery, and Mental oppression

@cerberusdest Great point! You're the first one out of 20,000 people to say what I was thinking. When Ray hits that legendary falsetto Tevin beams with excitement at 3:32 , and when Stevie does his rifs at the end on the word "sea" at 3:47 , and the when Stevie riffs on the words "shining sea" at 3:56 if you listen closely Tevin copies him both times.That's what you call respect for the true legends even at age 14. We're missing that from most of today's young performers.
