Ray Charles - Just Because

[@spencermay6628]

simple beautiful. I surprised my wife with our 1st dance at our wedding. Many tears including mine

[@1962lp2h]

Saw 'Sure Thing' when it was released in 1985 and was blown away by this song, it has the same affect here in 2020.

[@eddiej9733]

Great movie. So well written and acted and such a sweet ending … with this song ❤

[@TonyVega123]

YES!!!! I saw Sure Thing for the first time earlier this year and it's become one of my fav movies. I've watched it at least four times now. Can't believe I never saw it until recently, but I am currently watching a lot of movies I missed

[@TonyVega123]

@@eddiej9733 The best. It's a very simple story, but the way it's done is pretty extraordinary. Just magic.

[@tTenKay]

That movie was what brought me here 😂 feeling like falling in love

[@ghambino1]

The sure thing is such an underrated movie. One of my favorite romantic movies of all time.

[@ronaldhall5524]

Exactly!

So true 😢 I wonder why it's not available in streaming platforms 😭

I wrote the arrangement for this and conducted the recording session for Ray. Thank you for your kind comments.

[@nicolaipoko]

No questions asked, no strings attached, no guilt involved...a SURE THING

[@dericmitchell46]

Anything Ray Charles sings is always above and beyond

[@bazthehandyman]

You're spot on there.

[@michaelwaters2495]

one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion, The sure thing brought me here, but almost 30 years ago and I still love it.

[@barryking3677]

Why can we not find this beautiful song on Spotify, ITunes etc. Why ???

[@RebeDrawsStuff]

The Sure Thing! (And Ray Charles is certainly awesome).

[@ДимаГапеев-е2г]

Ни одного русского коментария ! Ладно ! Рэй великий музыкант пусть и не понимаю о чём поёт но исполнения его оооооооочень высоки и чувствуются душёй даже не зная языка . Рэй ты один из великих музыкантов !!!

[@paulwinnett212]

I'm glad to realise I'm not alone. Loved this since I first saw ' The sure Thing' what a voice.

[@pushpaksahtani893]

A wonderful song....you can just listen to it again and again n never get bored of it....

[@inikia]

I’m so in love with this song!!!!

[@MrTop715]

What an Inspiration Ray was-this man was blind yet he could play the piano and sing so great-he really did touch so many people!!!

[@johnborland307]

Like others, I heard this at the end of "The Sure Thing" and loved it. Not available on iTunes. Bummer.

[@calvinnay814]

The movie "The Sure thing " with John Kusack was a Great coming age .

[@profmyrta2857]

I listened to this song for the first time when I went to the cinema to see the sure thing in 1985. It brings me so many sweet memories from that time at university.

[@sarahpalmer9461]

Looking at clips from Family Matters and they played this song. I had never heard before but, it got my attention. I love Ray Charles music and lyrics of his songs. Stumbled upon this song and glad about it. Thanks for sharing. RIP you will always be remembered for your gifts and talents you were born with.

[@Assanr]

Was looking for this comment. I found this song over 14 years ago on a family matters video and its been with me ever since lol

[@arseniodeguzman9767]

Just Because Ray Charles Just because you're near The cold nights grow warmer Heaven's not so far away Whisper in my ear Gentle is the darkness Keep your secrets here Girl then dream on Then dream on Dream that all the world's an actor in your play It can all go your way Then dream on Yeah, dream on Dream that all of this magnificence is yours It will never slip away… Just because you're near Nothing seems to matter Just the softness of your hair Let it all in here Gentle is the darkness Filled with your perfume Girl then dream on Then dream on Dream that all the world's an actor in your play It can all go your way Girl dream on Hey, dream on Dream that all of this magnificence is yours It will never slip away…

[@edwardjenkins311]

As beautiful as music gets. Ray's voice is the perfect combination of delicate strength. This song puts me in a very happy place.

[@rusticization]

Thanks for posting this underrated classic from the Genius himself. Haven't heard it since 1984.

[@obsesstivereader21]

+Ryan Bayne This song came out in 1984?

[@MrHARRYGOODNIGHT]

@@obsesstivereader21 1979. Used in the movie in 1984

[@vipdfw]

I made this song my ring tone for awhile. It's something I come back to when needed.

[@83Dunes]

Now I am not sure I have listened to a better song!

[@McRocket]

There are portions of this song that seem more beautiful to me than any other music I have ever heard.

[@funkmike]

It's a Sure Thing

[@gsdsteve8825]

I listen to this and, as usual, there is always something new that you missed the last time you heard it. Some little inflection, some phrasing that you forgot about! Nothing about his singing ever sounds rehearsed and always packs the kind of emotional impact that no singer will ever be able to convey like the genius. A singer that whenever he wanted coud bring you to tears!

[@Vernostonus]

A wonderful song... it will still be great even in a Million years from now on. Ray truly knew where the good music comes from.

[@calvincheswick]

I haven't heard this song since since 1983! Thanks!!!

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

bruh, then you have not heard most of his music, he has / had many many albums as well as singles, loads of great music, sure theres some things he did that was kind of meh' but hes got loads of great tunes that outshine the blah.

[@mandiferrer]

During the 80s, I've heard another version of this song... by Robert Fitoussi aka F R David, the one who gave us the hit "Words (don't come easy)"

[@mattpatches8395]

A classic.

[@josueoliver9399]

What turn me onto this song was when i seen the old tv show family matters when steve got married to Laura and they played this song ever since i loved it

[@pourquoijesuis5950]

Composer is a step cousin by the name FR David, singer of worldwide hit "Words"

[@ottavianimichel8010]

The author of this song is not Ray Charles but a french songwriter: Robert Fitoussi.

[@peterjay5878]

Absolute class. Family matters, from the UK, in 2022 lol

[@davidethompson1271]

Can anyone post the entire album ? Bought this album when it came out and lost track of it along the way. Loved his version of Drift Away

[@MsLizziebeth1]

WHAT AN ARRANGENENT! "Just Because" is already a lovely song, but it's the horns that make it, plus Ray's cute idiosynchratic timing and timbre that suits really only him. Bless his musical talents, even if he was a womanizer. (Well, women would just throw themselves at him. Ahem.)

[@MsLizziebeth1]

😢💗

[@maurodessy6323]

superba ballad

[@ohiocorn62]

Where can you find this song as an MP3? It literally is on no digital album. What a tragedy. Classic Ray Charles song.
