Watching Ray Charles almost restores my faith in humanity.

[@bradhuskers]

Yet he's a stone cold racist

[@rondorazio4921]

Saw Ray Charles in person several times, once up close at Leo's Casino in Cleveland. Terrific performer with some of the greatest hits ever. But I didn't know he was this personable and charming until this video. Thanks!

[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in powerful peace 🙏 Ray Charles Robinson 23 September 1930 ~ 10 June 2004⚘

[@zovalentine7305]

While he had a lot of vices, one of the awesome things he accomplished was learning to play chess as part of his therapy to quit heroin....then....went on to play a grandmaster !✊

[@bradhuskers]

He's a straight up racist

[@nicolasvidal92]

I love all the charm and geniality on display between these two! An absolutely delight to relive this.

[@josephmurphy1944]

Brilliant, please continue uploading full appearances!

[@stephenmckinney2445]

Could listen to Ray Charles forever....

[@ididthisonpulpous6526]

Magical! I think the art of this kind of conversational approach to a talk show is lost. Dick Cavett remains a treasure to find. I only vaguely recall when it was on as a kid, but finding the stuff on here has been amazing. Keep it up!

[@person3538]

This exact performance of America The Beautiful might be the best one ever.

[@cshubs]

This channel/show is so satisfying. I am old enough to remember a time when people you saw on screens were more likely to be deserving of the spot.

[@Trump-rv4nz]

I love this show

[@alicejean4879]

Excellent video!❤

[@MrSilas-xo9np]

Nobody smoother and cooler than Ray.

[@bradhuskers]

He's a straight up racist

[@qtrust]

LOVE THIS!

[@zovalentine7305]

I Don't Need No Doctor 🎶 Top fave 🏆

[@immortaltyger1569]

Also check out the version by John Scofield & John Mayer - so good.

[@shanettaray6326]

The best way to open a show

[@OlafProt]

Ahhh Dick, all that talent and music Ray had, and you talked to him About his sight for half the interview.

[@RvBy88]

At first I was thinking the same, but then I really thought his answer and insight into blindness was very interesting

[@bradhuskers]

Or ask about why he's a racist

[@danielbytheway2216]

Two of the Best. Ever.

[@bradhuskers]

Ray was a straight up racist

[@okjeffy6581]

He’s in Heaven now. And now he can see the success he has achieved during his lifetime on earth.
