I've got a woman - Ray Charles live at Olympia

"I've got a woman" by Ray Charles live at the Olympia of Paris. Recorded on the 22nd of November 2000.

[@1bls]

True Story: about 10 or 11 years ago, my 4yo daughter and I were getting on a plane and there was Ray Charles in first class with all of his people around him. I conjured up the courage to say "Hi Mr. Charles, good to meet you, this is my daughter Alexis." He goes, well, she is just the prettiest little girl I have ever SEEN." The whole airplane erupted with laughter. My daughter innocently asked me why everyone was laughing, she didn't know he was blind. He made time for common people.

[@TankTJames]

That's a day you and your daughter will cherish did you have the courage to ask for is autograph or take a picture with him LoL 🖼️😅😅😅

[@1bls]

@@TankTJames It always comes up at family events. I did in fact ask for his autograph, but his manager I am guessing, said when we get off the play he will sign for you. But since I was in the cheap seats, they got off the plane well before we did. Didn’t matter, like you said, we cherish the memory and Ray was such a sweetheart.

[@barco2605]

how can people dislike this,, if u dont like the music,, atleast u can give the thumbs up for playing in total darkness :) R.I.P Sir Ray Charles..

[@MusaCyrealSekatane]

people that play piano are intelligent people.

[@Arjetube]

this guy was a beast even at high age

[@zvoneCro1]

I wish I was born few years earlier to feel the energy of this man live. RIP Ray, you left a heritage behind you!

[@carlosfernandoramirezparra1417]

Oh Jeez! Ever loving Ray!

[@richardmbowman]

It don't get no better than this......... Period.

[@lilejamie93]

I love how Ray is like 69 yrs old in this performance in 2000.. Still was playing for himself and holding his own! And still sounded great! There will never be another man.. Never!

[@lilejamie93]

Aaron Scott oohh. Damn 70. Ray still killing regardless.

[@uncjim]

I saw him a couple of times back in the 1970s. What's striking in viewing this performance is that he never lost his edge..that supreme energy that he possessed. He was a unique and great talent..one of a kind.

[@amrsheta3498]

U are so old

[@Greenworthdrive]

Once you get old, you no longer care that you're old. Truth.

[@andrewwatson3594]

Got to love musicians that you can just see they absolutely love what they do not the money they receive for doing it.

großartig - unvergleichlich - federleicht kommt es daher und nimmt doch so kraftvoll an die Hand - zieht in andere Welten.

[@JAPOS67]

How lucky was I to see him with the same formation in a private concert given in gala dinner for a watch brand in Genevain 2002, and passed 3 days with the same band! The godfather!

[@SeaBassVamp]

Grandiose~~best experiences was seeing Ray Charles perform live at a festival. R.I.P. RAY CHARLES.

“Nunca me consideré como parte del rock & roll. Lo mío era más adulto, más difícil para que los adolescentes se relacionaran con mi trabajo. Mi música estaba llena de más desesperanza que cualquier cosa que pudieras asociar con el rock, como no podía ver a la gente bailar, no podía componer jitterbug o twist. Escribía ritmos que me movían. Mi estilo requería cantar de corazón", Ray Charles. (Gracias a José Luis Martinez Clares) ... Traducción de las letras en español : Bien, tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Digo. Tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Ella me da dinero Cuando estoy necesitado Sí, ella es como un amigo de verdad Tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Ella guarda su amor temprano en la mañana Sólo para mí Ella guarda su amor temprano en la mañana Sólo para mí Ella guarda su amor sólo para mí Ella me ama tan tiernamente Bien, tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Ella está ahí para amarme de día y de noche Nunca reniega o se queja, siempre me trata bien Nunca sale a recorrer calles, y me deja solo Ella sabe que lugar de la mujer es justo ahí ahora en su casa Bien, tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Digo. Tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si Bien, ella es mi nena No lo entiendes Y yo soy su enamorado Tengo una mujer Al otro lado de la ciudad Que es buena para mí oh, si No sabes que ella está bien No sabes que ella está bien Ella está bien, está bien.

[@rickybutler2311]

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

The great Ray Charles. Man this guys knows how to swing ! A huge influence on many musos, amongst them, the brilliant Steve Winwood !

[@shakaama]

although I had never heard this song, a snippet had been playing over and over in my brain. don't know where i heard the snippet, but I came up with the title and voila here it is. wonder why i had to listen to it, the meaning will probably come to me later. this is a fantastic song.

[@lisadupau315]

why does people listen to dubstep when there is some fantastic music like this one ( sorry , i don't speak English very well, i'm french )

[@Hybrid980]

Wow that's sad.... seeing him so old barely able to do concerts. Just shows how dedicated he was to his fans.

[@daniel171095]

what are you trying to say? he absolutely nailed this performance

[@laurmnml92]

The struggles you see on his face are not him not being able to do concerts but feeling the emotions, the music. Get you shit straight

[@isaactabor7265]

Никогда не ворчит и не суетится, Всегда относится ко мне правильно. Никогда не бегает по улицам, И не оставляет меня одного. Она знает, что место женщины Прямо здесь, сейчас, в ее доме" Ты счастлив Весело живёшь..

A co worker of mine heard my dubstep playing from my phone today, and started complaining that electronic sound destroyed music and that he missed the pure sound of classics like ray charles... pointed to him to this song and made him vibe out to the first part for like 5 mins straight

[@otakunay5300]

R.I.P 15 years old and i'm in love with this masterpiece

[@johnnyepace5174]

Yeah the incomparable Ray Charles is still the man good stuff.

[@shimi_ek]

It's an amazing moment when the applause starts, especially when you realize he never got to see his audience.

[@WinstonErrolScholsberg]

Brother Ray Charles was strung on heroin for years but last years of his life he kicked the habit could turkey. Just watch the movie RAY for the details. what remains is that with or without drugs in his system he was and will always be one of the greatest musicians we had on this planet. That is just my opinion. peace and love to you all.

[@TheGREATEST95]

after he died, we have very little musical genius left the ones i can think of is aretha franklin and stevie wonder excuse me but im just thinking from the top of my head were running out soon we will have no real music left it well just be a world of justin bieber music

[@mike2206]

I'm not saying anyone is 'better' than anyone else. Music is not a competition. Sampling is an art, it requires as much dedication, hard work and understanding of music as any other instrument. Music Production is an art. This is the 21st century, it would be nice if people could love music of all genre's and ages, with enough research and understanding of an Artist you can make an informed decision whether or not they deserve the recognition they receive. Most of the time you can just hear it.

[@19lionkingfan]

Im a kid, and I love the oldies, but that shouldn't matter. Kids come on here, state their age and then start bashing "todays music". Just shut up! Appreciate the music that you came here to listen to, the music that you should be enjoying. Because complaining about it, sure as hell ain't gonna make it go away. All the comments I read come off as cocky. "We had have better music than you guys" crap. Yeah, we all know that! So let's shut up and lets enjoy the music!

[@MagicMushroomie]

if anyone saw a movie about this artist they would agree with me that when he has to walk or anything else its like hes been blind for a few weeks and is new at this (kinda scared of fast etc.) but when he plays...it seems he gets his sight back and not only that it seems he can fly faster than birds, swim faster than fish, go faster than a train. Wonderfull music and a magnificient person. Escuse me if i did any grammar mistakes or something.

[@MrYoubrian]

I have always appreciated ray for being a brilliant singer, songwriter, musician and businessman. But after seeing the movie "Ray", I am in awe of his strength to commit to a lifelong struggle to fight his inner demons. He had the strength of ten men. I used to make the teens at a drug rehab where I worked, watch this movie (much to the dismay of the professional staff of therapist). There were alot of life lessons in that movie, any struggle can be overcome. See you when I get there Ray.

[@weclleyzika]

cara nunca Tinha ouvido mais ache muito legal estou Baixando alguma musica dele muito logo quem saber mais musica dele dahora coomo esse passa ai

[@frog-h7w]

He didnt died, he just moved ti the house in the hill, and hes still ROKING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@breadmoneyarchival]

Doctor: "You seem to be suffering from severe hypothermia and your toes are frostbitten. Your case is unusual because we are in the middle of summer. Now tell me, what have you been doing in the past 3 days to cause such a thing?" Me: "Well, I was online yesterday and I saw this live performance of I've Got A Woman..."

[@nuthinbutachump]

not to say that you can compare the two cause ray is a legend, but it's inaccurate to say he wrote his songs. Ray did not write many of his hits such as 'the mess around', 'georgia on my mind', hit the road jack' 'I cant stop loving you'. Ray, however, did do more for music than most if not all of todays musicians will ever do
