Ray Charles - All I Ever Need Is You (LIVE) HD

The Miami Lighthouse for the Blind
James L.Knight Center in Miami,Florida,1999
Composer : Jimmy Holiday , Eddie Reeves
Lyrics:
Sometimes when I'm sad and all alone,o baby,
Just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on,oh God,yea,
All I ever need is you now
Your my first love, your my last and
Your my future, your my past
Loving you is all I ask, ohh
All I ever need is you,baby
Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you
Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
I found my treasures in your soul,yea
All I ever need is you baby
Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every day,o baby
I won't sleep at night until you say
Ohh Babe, all I ever need is you
Sax Solo :
Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
I found my treasures in your soul
All I ever need is you baby
Without love I'd never find the way,oh no
Through ups and downs of every day,oh yea
I won't sleep at night until you say
Ohh, all I ever need is you
I wanna hear you say
All I ever need is you babe
All I ever need is you
All I ever need is you
All I ever need is you

WOW - never seen Ray play sax - pretty dang cool!

[@2dasimmons]

Yes it is!! This beautiful musician has a God-given talent o it's not surprising that he can play @ least (1) other instrument in addition to his singing. I'll bet he could easily play harmonica AND drums, perhaps trumpet and/or double bass. Not to mention organ. Wow! He and Stevie Wonder are THE musicians. Can't wait to see Stevie's biopic. I hope someone special will play him the way Jamie Foxx played Mr. Charles

[@spassgamer]

+2dasimmons so true, Jamie Foxx did it sooo well - love this movie :)

[@2dasimmons]

Agreed!

He showed fathead how to play

[@zankyalbo2208]

When I took piano lessons, I told my teacher that I wanted to play like Ray Charles ... She said. "I can teach you Mozart and Liszt .... you'll have to have them, just to catch Ray"

[@frxdispatchgaming1043]

No kidding - what a realization! Love all the classical composers too like Chopin and Bach

[@blackjack-ks8zn]

"catch" Ray...

[@miker.2148]

I’m 56, and I didn’t know Ray played the sax. Wow!

Holy crap, I'm 63 but I was about to post the exact same comment!

Me neither... at my 76 😮😊But I had it arm in arm in my airport job❤

[@user-du3yq9td3m]

Excellent

[@Rob_-dv6ei]

Everyone: Can Ray Charles actually get even more badass? Ray: *Facing wrong way* Hold my beer. *W H I P S O U T S A X*

[@toomuxh9247]

You talm bout facing the wrong way boy you hell😂😂

[@tonycox7802]

I don't think so but I wouldn't be surprised!

[@barrymitchellretroman]

He did have a vision, that seems obvious to me. You don`t need eyes, you just need soul. I can see that..

[@mancan1531]

This is a great example of the reason why Brother Ray was "The Genius"! He had such a marvelous knack for taking a song and by his interpretation, he would make the music appeal to an audience,who might have never given the original song a chance. RIP, Brother, and thanks for sharing your incredible talents with us all!

[@sankong82]

Well said

[@mancan1531]

Sandra Ekong I used to chat online with a young woman of Korean descent,who was a fan of Ray because her grandfather played his records. That impressed me quite a bit, about hot Ray was crossing multiple generations,and nationalities with his artistry!

[@larrytischler570]

This is the first time I was ever disappointed in a Ray Charles number. His renditions of "Georgia" and "America" and so many others were pure gold. But I simply detest all the doodle-beep jazzy crap. I'm 83.

[@itz__yami]

@@larrytischler570 wooooooooooow even my grandparents are only in their early 60s, i can tell you have been through a lot Larry.

[@Nyck461]

This is a fantastic presentation. Ray is not only a show of piano but also a great saxophone. Great song.

[@peterhead9981]

I had not seen the man play the sax for one hell of a long time. Just kind of proving that he still had it! My Lord, how I still miss him.

[@ethancaldwell2422]

I lost my shit when I saw him grab that saxophone. Man had some groove!

[@ericdfranklin71]

Ray Charles is the truth. I never knew he played the sax...That shows you never too old to learn something new...Wow...

[@royforeman6349]

I read in in his autobiography that he actually learned to formally play sax before the piano. When he went to the school for the blind, the piano class was full, so he took up clarinet, and from there too up the sax

[@ronniemoon57]

Ray Charles has been playing the sax for decades. So it's only new to YOU.

[@ericdfranklin71]

@@ronniemoon57 Ok so I am sure I am not the only one who didnt know that. Its good to have known that

[@jimmythomas3730]

Frank Sinatra said "Ray Charles is the only true genius in the business"

[@MrLinoventura]

c'est vrai !

Ray's talent is amazing. Thanks God for him

Uncle Ray was a GENIUS. Love him much since I was a little kid.

my goodness! This guy. Such a great musical genius

[@jesusestrada7314]

all we ever need is Ray,,,,

No musician or singers passing away, affected me the way his passing did.

I wish having this song one day at Spotify

[@dimavid_000]

Oh my god, what a genius! I can't stop admiring Ray. Bravo!

[@paulbloom8847]

Ray Charles was an absolute musical genius the like of whom we will never again see. RESPECT

[@eileensickel]

Fabulous. I did not know that ray Charles could play the saxophone. It is great

[@gregorythomas4470]

OMG!!!! Get it Ray!!!!!!! Show em all what's up. We, all of us, every woman man and child have been humbled and blessed.

[@mediamanny53]

He was a true Legend and a true song stylist! A strong Songbook he left us, to carry on.

[@natashaoriginal6073]

You are my first love you are my last, You are my future you are my past..! FANTASTIC! TIMELESS..

[@denisebourquin892]

Ray Charles me fais toujours un plaisir je le trouve tellement touchant sa perte de vue le rend encore plus simple et sensible ❤️

[@hirdy6]

And having delighted everyone with my voice and piano, I'll just get up and blow everyone away with the sax! What an extraordinary talent Brother Ray truly was.

[@veganandvaping3261]

All I Ever Need Is Ray Charles.

[@Padisco1]

Damn right brother

[@arrjee9474]

Ray Charles was a 100% soul man. Whatever genre he sang, he took it and owned it. He and Aretha Franklin two highly gifted people that graced us all over the world with their wonderful talent, at around the same period, too! What a time it was when these two performed, and recorded, music and I forgot he played sax too! He played it just like he sang it ... Soulfully!

[@lilososo1956]

راي تشارلز يبقى من عمالقة الفن و من الصعب أن يأتي مثيل له.

[@shanenichols1052]

Interesting to hear him play sax. Not surprisingly it reminds me of his piano playing solos, my favourite being on “Worried Mind” - a casual feat of elision and laser accuracy and timing to explore the melodic kernel. This puts me in mind of Louis Armstrong. Yep, he’s that good.

[@jonnobloggs8642]

For those of you who don't speak jazz this translates as " That was cool .He never played any bummers "

[@josemolina959]

Oh how much I miss Ray Charles. One in a lifetime. 👍🏼🙏🏼🎼🎵🎶🎹🎤🎷🎶🎵🎼

[@thihal4815]

Beautiful Sax solo...Thank you Ray...:)

[@mrmaxxx94]

Ray Charles was one of the greatest ever and nothing he couldn't do with creating music

[@davidchuquin7128]

Toda una leyenda! ... Un músico por naturaleza, una gran mente y gran corazón ... Ray Charles sentía la música, él la veía, tenía un don, no era ciego por completo, él leía música, de una forma extraordinaria e inimaginable, me refiero a que la hacía parte de él, su vida todo lo que pasó lo hizo grande por que él quiso ser grande... Lo admiro mucho , mi canción favorita...

[@l.p.5499]

This is absolutely bad ass!!! Truly amazing!!!

[@juanespinomendez3369]

El gran genio, quién otro más... El señor Ray Charles. Incomoarable pianista por décadas. Hasta pronto Ray, algún día nos encontraremos...

TRUE LEGEND & GENIUS

[@anthonyhargis9411]

I'm a sax player who came up with Fats Domino music and many locals in the New Orleans music genre` at that time period. I remember struggling with the tricky chord changes to the bridge in "Blueberry Hill." That was with my first band. Maybe a year or so later, two guys joined the service. So, I started a new band called "The Fidelities." Right around that time, "I Got A Woman" came out. We played every tune Ray recorded for years around that time and a few songs he recorded before he was famous like, "Drown In My Own Tears." As mentioned in these comments, I agree with what I heard years ago that Frank Sinatra said, RAY CHARLES IS "THE ONLY GENIUS IN OUR BUSINESS."

[@matildadhumxoxo5801]

my father played guitar with Fats Domino and Bo Diddley

[@matildadhumxoxo5801]

my husband played sax with Bobby Vinton and Les Brown
