Ray Charles &Joe Cocker were mates, they respected each other. R.I.P. guys we miss you both.

[@billrobbins5874]

So much good they brought to music. Both talented professionals at what they did. ♥️♥️

the best of British classic rock inspired by soul/jazz music, thanks UK

[@lefteri20]

[@harrylazard805]

That's a beautiful moment. Don't know how many times I heard singers who said they started their career doing a Ray Charles impersonation and how many songwriters, who wrote a song imagining Ray was singing it....

[@thomaselliott573]

Two of the true greats. I am glad they met and got on so well.

[@johnnash7481]

Two of the best ever!

nobody else proved more than JC that rock was a natural home and extension for the blues. Fancy taking 'cry me a river' and making it upbeat. Pure madness. Pure genius. Pure blues. And the rock backing vocals of 'Blue Medley' demonstrated the real heavenly heights of emotion, while the holy trinity of rock guitar, piano and saxophone took blues much higher than the ballads could ever achieve. And then we moved away from it, away from music of feel, away from singers who were the song. away from my time, the best time, paying homage to all the roots, and wild enjoyment in experiencing the making of such highs. I don't miss Joe like I thought I would, even though I would always cry when he left the stage, not knowing if it would be my last. I had the best years ever, and I still feel the same when I watch and listen, but I do miss the real appreciation of music in wider society.

[@aidanpysher2764]

I would not have ever expected Joe to have sounded like this in normal conversation. I didn't even know he was British until just about over a decade ago. He's the absolute GOAT.

[@Atroll_man]

When asked who is the greatest soul singer, Ray Charles said " Joe Cocker. " Two of the greatest soul singers of all time.

[@sandymartyn5410]

Joe Cocker loved Ray Charles ♥ I loved Joe Cocker R.I.P ❤

[@carlosavzaradel]

Dois músicos fabulosos!!! SAUDAÇÕES RUBRO NEGRAS

[@kristinaniemeyer5256]

So Ray Charles was the original singer of the song feeling all right I’m confused 🤔 I definitely can see him doing it fabulously moving his head back-and-forth I LOVE MOTOWN & Definitely LOVE R&B!!!!! I think I have the eastern coast time of 420 I’m gonna listen to Ray Charles sing this song SEARCH and I love Joe Cocker

[@FortyNineHudson]

kristina niemeyer “Feelin Alright” was written and originally performed by Dave Mason when he was a member of Traffic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roq7qZWqoKynjZI. Joe DID record several of Brother Ray’s songs, most famously “Let’s Go Get Stoned”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfamXaCjrSSY68

[@logicalnetwork1611]

I miss joe cocker.

[@manguera9]

the way of singing Gospel is the way that will influence singers for the years to come..Ray Charles made his own as the way Sam Cooke did and he was a member of gospel group and abandoned them to join pop music

[@jeankutzer1556]

Did they ever record together? I heard Ray say that he and Joe and Terry Kath should get together and record.

[@matthewmwangi181]

Lmao The Rona 😂😂

[@edilbertoperez6609]

Take a look at this Joe and Rey black and white look good
