Glen Campbell & Ray Charles - Cryin Time (Live Goodtime Hour)

[@murph3001]

Where blue eyed soul meets the great one . This is forever . God bless both souls.

[@johnparker8588]

You won’t see a perfect live performance like this today. How I miss the great singers musicians, and songs.

[@trinidadapodaca7027]

u wanna bet

[@victoriagambardella7136]

If you notice, Glen holds back his singing to give Ray Charles the main focus-- that is pretty classy-- you wouldn't see that today.

[@julianbrown1092]

probably a wise move tho

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

If you all get a chance to see Glen on his farewell tour, please do so. In spite of his disease, he is still giving a vibrant performance. You won't be disappointed.

[@moffettdawson5917]

I saw it when it first appeared on television. It was terrific then and is still.

[@rusty7720]

Would that be in the late 60's?

[@NormBa]

Imagine, this kind of thing used to be on free TV, all three channels. Now we have 50,000 channels, big cable bills and everything's forgettable. How'd that happen?

[@papawjohn9588]

+Norman Ball I agree with you, and the answer is GREED. Also, the amount of commercial time has become outrageous.

[@olsharezee45]

It's all about the money Norman.

[@donaldelley2802]

yeah all the music is crap- God help us

[@michaeldean9338]

@ NORMAN BELL /// NO truer words in your post, friend. So bittersweet viewing this. I remember seeing this as a little boy. This type of talent and T.V.viewing will NEVER return.

[@oilspill321]

Norman you have an excellent point.

[@americangiant1003]

RIP to both Ray and Glen.

[@karenkirwan1280]

They are alive in the other world thank goodness.

[@3155DOGMAN]

Ray was the man.One of the best artist to ever come out of America.

[@dounaldtobing7393]

And you don't mention Glen.

[@musicmandjd4470]

Stuff like this came on tv every week when I was a kid, we were lucky.....

[@sonjar1853]

Yeah, now it’s mostly crap!

[@oilspill321]

Sad to see it took 2 years for a comment to be posted again. I have always loved Ray Charles, and Glen Campbell. You can see the respect Glen has for him. And Ray being humble, and with a great sense of humor. I just loved every second of this.

[@NatashaDiMarco]

I can't get over the perfection of this performance. I must have listened 10 times in a row! They just don't do it like this anymore, folks. True Greatness.

[@JLScott3178]

Don't even know where to begin. That's the sound of AMERICAN greatness and talent right there!

[@45dgwatson]

in my humble opinion, these are two of the best, most talented, and versatile entertainers. Period. And I have been fortunate to see and them both!

[@Tunz909]

You and me both!:-)..I even got to see Glen when he performed with Jimmy Webb about 10 years before he passed.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Look, No Miming. actually singing and playing their instruments, masterfully.

[@gsdsteve]

When Ray sings the first verse you can't help but be mesmerized. the scope of his talent is truly mind-boggling.

[@murph5438]

Glenn's vocal solo is beautiful -- the great one is always that

[@Voodomania]

Best version on KZbin in my opinion.

[@ronaldszudy8184]

Mr Ray was a legendary performer. His take on great country songs was personal, soulful and, at the time, ground-breaking. To see him perform was a privilege I will always remember.

[@truthteller1914]

This is what becomes of a top session musician. You can play anything in any style at any time. When you are Glenn Campbell, you can do it superbly.

[@douglaslambert3133]

On The Beach Boys "Fun, Fun, Fun," the opening guitar riff is by Glen Campbell.

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Bein' good looking don't hurt either I guess.

[@Brian-pf7qq]

I saw Ray Charles seven times in concert and Glen Campbell once.

[@13isitnow]

My brothers and I made a tape for our parents for Christmas one year and I attempted to sing "Cryin Time". The tape was a huge success, and I love, love, love this song. Norman"Curley" Lewis, that's my Daddy, he jus passed on May 15th, I miss him sooo much, but, he will live on through the music that he played. And many other things as well, his genorosity, his smile, his everything, I can go on and on. Love you Daddy!!

[@alesinayoung362]

Now, this duet is together again in heaven...RIP Mr Campbell

[@charlesbarry971]

I always loved the Ray Charles treatment of Country and Western music. Two departed legends.

[@donnkizz]

Willie nelson said once singing with a great singer makes you step up your game, here is a great example Ray brings out the soul in Glen's voice

[@calebbowers7474]

Two of the Greastest Pioneers of music to ever play on this earth. Rip to Glenn and Ray! You 2 will never be forgotten.

[@johnmizzoni5998]

Glen played and knew everyone in the music and entertainment business! Wow he had a heck of a life !

[@oldbeatpete]

studio musician!

[@Carrots43]

Glens two part harmony is great with Rays voice.

[@mLi75]

this song suites Glen very well!

[@PrincipalScratcher1]

If you've never heard a voice that could "sing pain", you just heard it in this performance. Especially Ray's first verse. I love his adlibs when Glen is singing; it's like encouragement.

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Just lovely. Glenn Campbell held his own here with Ray Charles--and, man, that's saying something. And it's good to see Brother Ray's piano work featured.

[@williamrichardson9712]

Ray Charles died in 2004 and Glen Campbell died in 2017 so Glen was well before his dementia took him.

[@Sparky6string]

Charles brought out the best in Glen's voice- I bet he did that to a lot of people. You can't exactly phone it in when you have to try to keep up with a voice like Ray Charles'.

[@sbbinahee]

Simply one of the finest performances I've ever witnessed in popular music...

[@patriot4786]

Glen just can fit with any singer

[@darleenhickson3718]

Two Legions! They're both are dearly missed!

[@Imperialist440]

Two legends here...fantastic artists /musicians! And thank you Buck Owens for writing and performing this classic yourself!

[@wendiirwin1934]

Two beautiful voices coming together as one.

[@dianajoyner4844]

I loved both of these men,their talent was our gift.I happened across this I’m so happy that I did. will share it and keep it. It caused my heart to go back to a kinder gentler time,for all of us.

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

A simply fantastic duet with two of the greatest entertainers of all time!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!

[@DHudelson]

Two legendary performers in their prime... a lot more locked in together than most variety show duets. Nice ivories on the break, wished they could've had another go 'round for Glen to show his considerable guitar skills.

[@Tunz909]

Have always loved Ray's little 'blues' licks he spices into the music;-)

[@momfluent5367]

I never knew Glen & Ray had a duet. Beautiful

[@bettynewberry1]

Excellent song with two great singers. Lost love inspires so many great songs.

[@johnparker8588]

Ebony and Ivory! Two men with soul. Color of skin doesn’t matter.

[@annettelee2851]

Genius,The Great Glen Campbell. By watching how he makes move to harmonize with him and caring…Every time I listen to him singing so impressed so much healing .. one of the greatest singers in history .

[@nat00ben06]

Glen nailed it, Ray was one of the greatest badasses ever.

[@Tunz909]

But so did Ray on the final verse, they switched harmony parts loved it!!!

[@victoranchondo924]

Two Musical Giants, Beautiful!!! I wish they made an album. Their voices blend perfectly.

[@Tunz909]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@loissmith2537]

still love to hear Ray sing and Glen

[@deanadiedrich9304]

Beautifully done by two of my favorite male singers!!!! And Buck Owens , he wrote it.

[@jeangunn7213]

So sad but sung beautifully. Ray Charles and Glenn Cambell are two of my favorite singers.

[@randysandford4033]

Loved them both and miss hearing and witnessing their talent. And here they are together!

[@margaritakid]

This is one of my dad's favorite songs but for some reason it's not on everything. We only have one cd w/ it and I searched long and hard for it....it's a heart wrenching song. I LOVE it!!

[@Tunz909]

No kidding, I've been looking for a Charles greatest Hits compilation, and this one is always missing. Or if it's on an LP or CD, the other's are missing;-)

[@ClarenceHW]

I always knew Glen was a great musician, but didn't realize until a bit later that he was a very "hip cat", his "country boy" persona belied a sharp wit and a deep knowledge of the music and where it came from. He had great people on his show and his respect for Ray Charles speaks volumes. Such a great performance! Thanks for posting this.p.s. Glen used to sneak in some modern (jazz) guitar playing, check out his live duo with Jerry Reed on "Guitar Man".

[@theomartin6238]

Yes, I watched that video and it is awesome, but that is classical country guitar solo. Here in South every other country guitar player play in that way. Brad Paisley also play in that way.

[@ClarenceHW]

During that solo he play's a couple of licks that a definitely NOT country.. one is based on a whole tone scale. That's mainly what i was referring to. Glen had big ears, he could play anything he wanted to. Look for Jerry Reed's live version of Georgia on you tube, the one with Chet Atkins sitting beside him. Cool stuff.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Both emotionally.and melodically. The frequency of both. Blend together. Perfect

[@Wulfdane]

Ray Charles and Glen Campbell, fantastic musicians. Beautiful.

[@gigih.hammer306]

Many other artists sang this song, but no one sings it as good as Ray Charles.

[@darleenhickson3718]

I love them both! I know that they both are in heaven!

[@BluesCat1980]

What 25 people didn't like this? Crazy.

[@depaola63]

Absolutely wonderful classic memories ⭐️⭐️❤️ I’m now 59 and remember when ✊

[@Tunz909]

I love how they traded harmony parts in the last verse!!! Glen could sing and play anything and so could Ray. Was fortunate to see them both. I even got to see Glen in a Cabaret show with legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb. Both genius in their own way, for SURE!!!

[@lornasuarez4189]

a very moving duet...glen and ray

[@walterpalmer2749]

Was it that long ago ?? Wow. So many greats gone. It's God's way.

[@Jigaboo123456]

Just terrific, great blend of voices and terrific musicianship from both.

[@toro5338]

A terrific couple of voices performing an evergreen country song. Song wrote by another giant of the country music, Buck Owens.

[@marthaakamartiwhipple7093]

Beautiful Duet! Two of the Very Best!

[@Wes_Jones]

Wow. Brings tears to my eyes.

[@bloodnivel70]

***** me too

[@Tunz909]

I'm a Pianist/singer and my main problem is the songs I want to play and sing the most are the ones that bring tears to my eyes like this one....so how can I ever perform it? It really pisses me off.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Beautiful just utterly beautiful. Unquestionably good and hearty charisma stage presence

[@greenman8285]

When legends meet :)

[@Tunz909]

Wow, their voices blend like Angels. What a shame they never cut an LP together. I've loved Ray's version since I heard it in 1965, but actually this duet I find better!!! Wonder if either one ever allowed it to be included on an LP? I have to confess though, I just listened to the author's original version , I had never heard it before!! God Bless you BUCK for writing it!!! DANG you should have had a hit with it back in 1964!!???

[@chriscartwright9205]

two of the greatest right there-GC is sooo underated-top top man

[@sandy6660]

Two great artists singing together. I love it. 🎶❤️ Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@ursulabaines5479]

[@TheMustytube]

They're both great in their own ways. A great song.

[@rickcurtis2983]

What a blend...beautiful!! Thank you for this!

[@fatima1009]

Two legends

[@manukirikiri9462]

Two AWESOME guys from way back...

[@WAC551993]

George Jones and Ray Charles, were the best at singing pain songs and make you feel like they truly lived what they were singing, and usually they both had been through similar situations, and Glen done an awesome job, i really liked him and i wish they would show the reruns of Glen Campbell's show.

"Crying Time" (originally by Buck Owens) Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' Oooh That it won't be long before it's cryin' time Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder) And that tears are only rain to make love grow Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger) If I lived to be a hundred years old Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now That it won't be long before it's cryin' time Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better) That's the way it's happened every time before And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow) Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now That it won't be long before it's cryin' time (That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)

[@rolphartieda9314]

both are my favourite singers, beautiful era, to say the least

[@christinetisdale1047]

Such a happy listener tonight 🌹

[@charlesbarry971]

[@VisionTheLyricalOne]

God bless and R.I.P to two legends 🙏🏻

[@gened26]

hands down a beautiful song

[@mj99a]

glen, a superb singer/player had to up his vocals game a little to hang with ray. and he killed it! wish he'd gotten a little guitar solo though.

[@BarbaraJoanneBJ]

Awesome! Only in America. (And I ain't gonna explain that.)

[@jnadle1]

Don't forget, those two collaborated when they did the song from the movie In the Heat of the Night.

[@patriot4786]

what a legendary man "Ray Charles" RIP

[@hytekr1]

Man, i wish i had it all back 😞

[@ALawson04]

[@duppykitoon]

Beautiful.

[@williamdiemert2116]

Glenn Campbell R.I.P.

[@tamazpatarkalashvili2811]

In duet this great song is better than when Ray sings alone

[@tamazpatarkalashvili2811]

I've listened to all versions of the song by different singers but this one is the best

[@liamreagan3477]

Absolutely incredible.

[@Walks-With-Pride]

Fabulous!

[@scottharrison2839]

This is gold.
