Ray Charles - Hallelujah I Love Her So (1955)

[@FormulaKarin]

" if elvis was the king then ray charles was a God!" So absolutely true!!!

[@CarlDRocco]

This man isn't just a brilliant musician, he changed the world with his music and brought people together. I respect him more than any other artist in my lifetime. I'm a country music guy and love me some George Jones but Ray Charles is someone to look up to on so many levels.

[@PeterOvens]

Ray Charles was the best, ever I once had the chance to see Ray in concert with Van Morrison in Newcastle. It didn't happen. This man could do it all, and he did with SOUL If anyone ever asks - what is soul, just say to them......listen to Ray

[@MercedesDaSilvaPage]

It just doesn't get any better than this. Gold to my ears.

[@MrGracian49]

This man is music.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

This man's face should be on Mt. Rushmore! I feel fortunate to have seen live twice before be left this world. I have met David "Fathead" Newman also, when he plays the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. A genuinely fine man and wonderful musician, and an RC protege, too. What a tight-as-can-be band...

[@raicho20]

Hallelujah I just love his music so!

[@andremalca3622]

Hallelujah, I do love her, her life together with mine is a bond that remains in our destiny and thanks to her, loneliness disappears. I just want to be at her door waiting for her and when I see her I can laugh. I love you so much Mell.

[@Shamray-ou2fd]

And I feel very loved by you, my love.

“There’s only one genius in show business. Ray Charles.” - Frank Sinatra

[@Builderboy1971]

I never understood why he rocked back and forth so much...but he was "conducting" his band....the man never missed a beat!

[@donhavlicek]

Exactly like his performance at Cincinnati Gardens in 1957 ... miss you, Ray!

[@TheYork95]

Blind, playing the piano and singing at the same time! That's absolutely amazing, but I think the most beautiful thing is how he smiles when he's singing, he's enjoying it! He's a genius!

[@jocelyneleora_]

Ray Charles was just a really brilliant musician and singer!

[@oscartheroot]

He put the base for all the modern music. Yea, I agree he is a kind of God, he was a genius

[@kaarlows]

This music was recorded in 1962 when Stevie Wonder was only 12 yrs old. Probably this video is from the first half of the 70's and Stevie already changed a bit the lryics from it's original. But it's still great to see such a vitality and soul when he's playing it. Great vid.

[@NickAlmelo]

I love him!! You must see the movie: Ray! Greetings from an 18-year-old from The Netherlands.

[@mchsbeijing32]

one of the greats of all time who DOESNT need a computerized mixer to sing well. If only our artists today could sing as well as he does at a regular concert. RIP Ray Charles

[@forsakencookie9127]

Wish i was alive to see this in person at least once.

[@CCJJ160Channels]

"She tells me ' Ray Charles everything's alright'."

[@donenonly03]

When you've got it, you've got it, and this man was overflowing with "IT"!

[@luiswega]

Huuuuu this is a legendary song.... will like to be there in 1955

[@Hollyitalia]

that's how I met his music. My father saw him in a concert and always talked about him i STATED listening to his report after I saw the wondeful movie...

[@Maese91]

I grew up in the '50's. I heard it all over the radio. We all knew this song, and Ray Charles' work

[@bepinlv]

Ray is SMOKIN' in this video. Hard to believe its more than 50 years ago!

[@zorana04]

He is the greatest!!! I am 39 yrs old and my 57 yr old mum danced to his music for my grandmother and company when she was a child....Ray's music will never die....

[@theboiwonder]

There will never be another talent like Ray Charles Robinson. He was truly one of a kind.

[@srercrcr]

I went to my first RC concert in '62....it was stand-up, all crunched up against the stage. I was about three back, with the Raelets right over me. What a night!

[@josevilleneuve7359]

Je ferme les yeux pour mieux entendre toute l'émotion qui se dégage de sa voix. Merci Monsieur Ray Charles.

[@imogenhope8949]

J'adore Ray Charles, car cest, FANTASTIQUE

[@triangleman7387]

he's feeling that music.

[@antisocialsocialist]

56 years ago and still so fucking awesome. These "new age" "artists" shall learn from the master. The King.

[@madelinemedia1149]

This music fills my heart with happiness. Imagine what music would be without Ray Charles! Ray Charles is one of my favorite singers in the world.

[@KnightsFightTonight]

For a blind man I'm suprised that he can play the piano. I love this guys music your the best Ray Rock on

[@Hansueliii]

1955!!!!!!! Awesome

[@thomas_gator43]

Ray Charles is my fav. singer #RayCharles

[@javierdoremi258]

los 50 y los 60 fueron una explosión de música muy buena! Es decir siempre existen músicos buenos en todas las épocas, pero en estas décadas parece que todos la rompían mal! era tan expresivo, tan vivo, tan alegre...

[@guitarrinsolin]

tengo 14 años y he emprendido un viaje a traves de la musica, espero que algun dia la gente se libere de su ignorancia musical y de verdad aprecie el arte

[@LoveAhiru]

This is one of the greatest singer that ever existed. I love the movie Ray.

[@NabNabs]

isnt it awesome that such old films have been preserved that well?

[@PrincessWestL]

I never even know this song existed until Americal Idol!!!! Go Ray! you're a blimmin genius! Hurray for superficial talent shows wohoo!

[@plato369]

the arrangement of this song is just pure beauty..never will be another like him, never. listening to this song makes me think everything WILL be alright...hallelujah!

[@ebsqi]

You can feel the emotion he puts into the song. Amazing.

[@theblackmoonofghost]

I love how he shakes his body when he plays the piano :D I almost shake along when I watch this :D

[@MrGoofySkull]

This is R&B Gospel! With many Jazz in it, Jazz is in everything!

[@RXmusic4YOU]

...dedicated to my parents and their friends who rocked the house on friday nights...the smell of perch frying, cold pabst blue ribbon in a tin tub and the sounds of ray charles.....damn...i had it good....

[@engelien992]

When I listen to his music, I move just like him. Oh men.. I'm feelin it with every inch of my soul!

[@kingbob3009]

WOW!!! only 25 years oland already the greatest musician of all time, people with perfect vision still coulnt play as well as Ray did, and thats whats makes him a true piano Genius, RIP ray your music will always be with us.

[@michaelrivela8615]

guys amazing.... true inspiration.. without him i would not be the musician i am today.. thank you MR Ray Charles RIP....

[@frenchieseverine4514]

Hallelujah I LOVE HIM SO I LOVE YOU RAY CHARLES! I love your songs,lyrics,optimism and ENERGY..Thanks for everything!! I love yooouuuu!

[@ksztopciowna]

When I'm thinking about his blindness I admire him even more.

[@michaelnajera7958]

Weird to see a fender p-bass this early instead of a classic double bass player in this big band ensemble. Very progressive for the time.

[@Journeymanlive]

man so hip. and that tight drum groove? so modern

[@jessbrittain1643]

Michael Najera its a jazz bass, which means this cannot be 1955. The jazz bass made an appearence in 1960. What's more it's a bound neck with block -inlays, suggesting a '66. I'd say this clip is more likely mid -late 60s

[@crazymermaid]

this song just knoocks my socks off..... that man sure was a genius.has to be given respect for everything he achieved.and the the problems he overcame also.rip ray charles robinson

[@oyincookie]

The last minute is everything. I don't know if a person who has sight can feel that much!

[@miabardawil9714]

[@Valens58]

[@rifroar]

"Genious"

[@Tommick7]

I'm 15, i love jazz music, it's beautiful and it has a magic touch. Ray Charles has a really gooood voice, real god of jazz .peace

[@gitbox36]

thats how its done. no one does this anymore. not the song, the energy. unreal.

[@Mac6274]

I started listening to Ray Charles after i saw him guest staring on The Nanny. Tv is how i find out most of my fav singers...

[@Marlene55M]

The very best. I just escaped from a Stevie Wonder version here on YT (sounded somewhat like elevator music to me! *g) to hear the original stuff. Uncomparable.

[@lizexita]

Wowwww lo máximo cómo puede tocar y cantar a la vez de esa manera,un genio mi Ray..

[@issarss]

I like the sun glasses! and this guy is one of many blues and soul gods!

[@dancer83]

man the piano at the beginning just gets me so pumped!!!! love this song!

[@ShOcKwAvEzZ121]

Man! i love this song! Ray Charles is a legend!

[@italianfatty]

Ray Charles is the True piano man.... May you're ride to heaven be a smooth and easy one.

[@Philth_E]

Im a punk rock type of guy, who also loves the funky old music like this!

[@Choiboy525]

Such a good song. Can't believe I'll never be able to hear him live...

[@rjmiller7557]

I've always loved the blues. Robbi Miller

[@MotionBlurPictures]

I Cant Stop My Soul to take a Flight!!!! It's Incredible!!!!!! THx u very much, Ray!!!!!! I will remember U forever

[@adrianboho]

Que ritmo increíble es una joyita este video.

[@itamarhugnot]

Meu Deus, que balanço maravilhoso.

[@Dockinoke]

1st time I listened this song: damn, I can't stop listen! 1955 guys! Incredible!

[@christophermoorman6249]

Look at the speed is of his fingers on the piano at the start

[@olliedee12]

KIng Of Jazz!!! thanks for posting x

[@GavinGT]

It's so incredible that this was recorded in 1955. It wasn't even released officially until the next year, and yet he was already heavily improvising.

[@connor_selby]

this is from 68/69

[@NeXt0091]

what a legend... there will never be someone like him...never!

[@NoscetempusFlo-Salsa]

What a wonderful musician and singer. Thank you very much!

[@metalmaniac767]

this song is good :) we play it in my school jazz/big band and our singer (a female) sings this really good and its a great song for a guitar solo :) 5 stars

[@KnightsFightTonight]

This guy is the best I wish people still sung like this some do but not alot. I have to admit I do like a few songs from the new music ara but not all of them.

[@bellgardens53]

Yea, this is a GREAT song I first heard with Eddie Cochran (RIP) - a couple of years later but still in the 50's - who was a huge Ray Charles (RIP) fan. As an immensly big EC fan I of love his version but I do not compare as this original is so great too.

[@angelehz14]

Nada mejor que el Jazz*---* y este maestro nos enseña la el verdadero soul♥

[@ungratefuladoptees]

you are so lucky, ray charles is beyond words!

[@Sunquan91]

Man this music is magic it reaches the deps of my soul.

[@kindbeats]

[@tatianaf1000]

This is not music, is art!!!

[@ginorani]

I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGGGGG Ray is such a legend !!!!!

[@yordano]

aleluya hermanos ... gracias hermano Ray eres el mejor

[@miilaxz]

all my friends say that i listen to my granny´s music, but i really dont care., this is so amazing,..C:

[@Steven197981]

Yes I agree with you too. This probably was taped in the late 1960s, just by looking at the way Ray looks. His sunglasses are a way to tell what year or decade this was filmed in because he wore a variety of sunglasses in his life. By looking at his sunglasses I would have to say as I said earlier the late 1960s, 1967-1968 give a take.

[@luvthamusik]

i should so not be here but i been livestreaming allmemphismusic and my favourite just sang this! Awesome. I love you Guy Sebastian :P

[@chescos7]

Ray was a genius... I Love The Jazz... RIP

[@jeanpauljh]

Hallelujah, I love you Ray Charles! I quote another great musician, Mr. Frank Sinatra "[Ray was] the only true genius in the business". RIP Mr. Charles.

[@the0lithium0exp]

In my opinion, the real blues man!!!

[@GiggleBlizzard]

Ray was ahead of his time!

[@coolhellu]

I dont live in America,so I have no idea :) I just like the song,and thats why im here :D

[@alligat0rman]

Who can dislike this? i like bullet for my valentine and eminem and even i think this is art.

[@luigidacer]

Un des meilleurs des ces année benies de la musique.

[@pccbassbone]

Insane bass trombone player in that band. Wow!

[@cainanuk]

My 8 year old daughter and I have danced to this since she was a baby!

[@kevin4324]

Halleluja THIS is Music...RIP Ray, One the Greatest
