RAY CHARLES Childhood House & Friends GREENVILLE, FL

[@RickTexas]

Hearing stories from the Elders is so much better than reading the stories in a book. This is so personal, and Miss Lucille is a fantastic story teller. Jordan, you always go beyond what is necessary to tell a story. That makes the stories a lot more interesting.

[@rachellicee2380]

Yes! :D

[@anneholden9908]

Fabulous! I learned a lot! Ray Charles is and continues to be an amazing part of American History! Thank you for sharing this with us! Loved listening to Lucille!❤

[@satellitegirl9144]

I'm so in love with her! She is the epitomy of every sweet southern grandma.

[@recoveringfatboy5660]

Conversations with older people are amazing… amazing. The stories, the wisdom… everything is amazing.

[@biarritz84]

I loved Ray Charles singing Seven Spanish Angels with Willie Nelson & I also enjoyed him on The Nanny 😊

[@chrishutchinson2297]

I loved Ray Charles. There was nobody else like him. I really enjoyed hearing Lucille talk. She is somebody that I would really like to sit down and just listen to all day long. I love this video. Thank you Jordan and Lucille

[@ShannonLee1956]

I like the story Bill Cosby told about Ray, he went to Ray's for a visit. Ray was in the bath shaving and Bill kind of freaked out saying something like you'r gonna cut yourself want me to turn the light on? Ray replied why, would it make you feel better?

[@awadventures6230]

Ms. Lucille is quite a lady! I could listen to her stories all day.

[@yolandadelazerda207]

Me too!

[@jefferyhall3934]

She has such a soothing voice

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

Rays mother taught him valuable life lessons. We need to put our seniors on a pedestal with all their knowledge. Lucille was so cute..Great video

[@jims_journeys]

I'm from Greenville. My mother was a local elementary teacher for over 20 years. Thanks for documenting these memories.

[@evagengler9666]

What a delightful story teller, a gem of a "tour guide!" Jordan, you always introduce us to the most interesting people.

[@vayabroder729]

The biographical movie with Jamie Foxx was amazing. Ms. Lucille is a sweet lady; God bless her. I always fondly remember RC’s performance as the music shop owner in The Blues Brothers film. He was great.

[@GrumpyKitten375]

So awesome Jordan!!! Thank you. Miss Lucille I love her....what a wonderful lady and passionate historian of Ray Charles....

[@flatbedhaulingwithscottn6111]

Ms.Lucille is absolutely adorable!. I could set and listen to her talk for hours!. What a genuinely good person!.

[@lisamusselwhite4600]

Miss Lucille is a character! It is always wonderful when people pay attention to the ones that came before we did. The lessons to be learned. She is awesome!

[@margaretevans2474]

Ms. Lucille is absolutely delightful 💕 Her story telling reminds me of my grandmother's stories of our family and history. What a blessing! Another beautiful vlog Jordan! 🙌

[@grandmatarah]

She is so sweet and beautiful. I am a huge Ray Charles fan. Thank you for interviewing her. Soft spoken sweetheart. Great video again!!

[@TheLoneStranger213]

I hope Quincy watches this. She said deep pockets, lol. Be cool if the young rap community took interests in preserving the history. They go big so....

[@Josh31287]

I could listen to her tell stories all day long!! Best one so far! Rest in Peace Ray Charles....my favorites songs are that spirit of Christmas and Seven Spanish Angels

[@spikesgirl04]

I love our older generation! Their stories are fantastic ♥️♥️♥️ Well done Jordan !

[@ndeep45]

I have always enjoyed the stories that you have given a place to tell their Memories and the joy they have in telling it. Ray Charles had a varied life from humble beginnings ... Georgia on my mind makes sense!!

[@raydash1424]

This vlog reminds us that we are all connected by our common humanity

[@ccmcgee9062]

[@bethhuston7956]

[@777jxd]

LOVE LOVE this one, Jordan!❤️ Miss Lucille is AMAZING! Close to 90 years old!😊 WOW! Love how she was shuckin’ & jivin’ as she’d talk and walk! Ray Charles (RC) couldn’t have had a better friend speak of his life, and the city he’s from,, than sweet Miss Lucille!👍👏👏👏❤️ “He was a ‘rascal,’ but a ‘nice’ one!”.😉 Gonna be hard to top Miss Lucille, Jordan! She makes a person want to move there, sit on her porch swing with her, and stay a while! Blessings to you. friend!👍🙏❤️

[@RhettyforHistory]

Looks like they have been fixing up that house which is great! That's some huge music history right there! Lucille was a sweet lady and great to hear her tell the history.

Thank you for doing this. Ray is one of my favorite artists of all, along with Louis Armstrong and Etta James.

[@radioman5688]

Thank you Miss Lucille for sharing such a wonderful story and thank you sir for posting such a great video 💓

[@largelarge]

Great video! Ms. Lucille was FANTASTIC to listen to. so many of these type of stories are disappearing.

[@theangendeavor9910]

I Loved Lucille Day! She is adorable! Wow what a history of RC. I did not know he came out to Seattle and he taught Quincy Jones. You know Quicy Jones is from Bremerton Washington. Amazing Vlog Joranaire!!! Cant wait til you are able to get into the house.

[@pierbradshaw9674]

[@BlackStorm555]

Looking at that pump in the yard reminds me of visiting South Carolina at my grandmas. The cold water was refreshing, sore arms pumping that thing, but good memories. Thanks for sharing.🥲

[@leannbrooks218]

This is really special, Jordan! I think you're vlogs are as good as any documentary I've ever seen on TV. You're the best

[@-fredericc7900]

I'm a big fan of Ray Charles, was born with one of his song "what i say" saw him live many times in concert, even photographed him on stage. Great video, thanks.

[@ashleybratcher1299]

This was so awesome! Thank you!

[@lashellhenry-maivia4464]

Just beautiful, I love hearing stories from our elders, my great grandmother, and my grandmother always told me their's. 😍😍❤❤❤❤❤

[@christa-u1j]

I absolutely love these. I love the story telling.. like the ones with your grandpa. I just want to hug her... so sweet. ❤ I wonder if they'd let me go to their reunion.. ha

[@lillysantoli6260]

Thankyou so much,very interesting,I loved Ray Charles music,and I’m happy to hear his story,God Bless you

[@mamab4211]

I can listen to Stories from the Elderly for hours! Thank you 😊💞

[@darrellhunt4076]

What a jewel Ms Lucille is, she and the others there they are just as important as Ray Charles was lots of history that needs to be kept alive real stories of life are the best thank you for sharing

[@kimmiecatluvinwilson2139]

Ty so much. I'll treasure my glasses forever. I remember I watched the Jamie Foxx portrayal of RC. It was interesting but it doesn't give near the insight that you give us here. His life was somewhat sad,..yet he was destined for GREAT things and overcame many obstacles in the way. Undoubtedly an icon. Thanks again! Well done.👍

[@chanelrenee9506]

All of what Jordan is talking about was in the movie..

[@ccmcgee9062]

What an absolute doll she is. Great video!

[@chuckmadden2251]

What a charming lady, she represents Greenville well. Thanks Jordan!

[@lindablackford1882]

What a delightful lady! Thanks for sharing her with us, Jordan. I’ve always loved Ray Charles. One of the first record albums I ever bought was Modern Sound in Country And Western Music.

[@follkiej]

Only half way through but Lucille is incredible! What a great person!! Thank Jordan. I look forward to the other half!

[@meganhussey972]

Great vid! I had the pleasure of seeing Ray Charles perform in the early 2000s, at the historic Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fla. It was an amazing show--one funny thing I remember, I arranged to leave work early that day so I could meet my parents at the theatre, and a young co-worker of mine said, "You're going to see Ray Charles? Cool. Will there be a mosh pit?"

[@karensundin3399]

If there’s a will there is a way what a wonderful philosophy ❤️. Lucille is a treasure 🧡. Great story Jordan🧡

[@robertcarly9183]

Wonderful vlog! Lucille is so sweet and I love hearing her stories/knowledge of Ray and Greenville. Thanks for sharing. This vlog made me miss my old neighbors. I grew up listening to their stories, and spent a lot of time swinging in their swing they had in their carport. They both passed away a few years ago.
