Générique complet.

[@slak96u]

from the start... all those great horn players. look, we know Ray was special. the band around him was....incredible

[@tiagodecarli2754]

wonderful images !!!

[@vova47]

Came here for Ray Charles but found great Johnny Coles playing "I Remember Clifford". Many thanks for sharing!

[@michaelhorton1350]

Alto opener was revealing some Ray that ain’t no novelty,…man has chops galore. Merci beaucoup!

[@Argotero]

The concert is incredible, thank you very much, from the fans around the world who can see this performance. The songs of the orchestra's introduction reminded me of the orchestras that I saw on my visit to Cuba in 1981, they had a similar atmosphere, the drummer's concentration on the first song demonstrates the professionalism of these great musicians. thanks very much.

Peut-être la plus belle soirée de concert que j'ai eu la chance de voir et d'apprécier. J'avais 17 ans et je m'en souviens encore. Un grand artiste.

[@jamesblackbird]

J'en avais 26 en 1969 mais fan de Ray dès mes 18 ans et toujours

[@didierCOURANT]

J'étais aussi à ce concert et guère âgé que vous. J'ai vu presque les plus grands en Jazz et Ray Charles en était un.

[@johncapo2843]

Ray "the bridge" Charles the only artist to date that bridged - blues, jazz ,big band, gospel, soul, pop into one meal for the soul

[@dantean]

Fine. So long as I don't have to start calling him "The Bridge." CHRIST that's awful!

[@slimeydon]

We were enriched when we were graced with Ray Charles’ presence in this world. Since his departure, we have become poorer.

[@fredfungalspore]

Real man made music Does it get any better I Think Not...❤️🙏

[@ThresePierce]

That's my Dad! The best percussionist that I know. #1 fan.

[@PreservationHallFoundation]

The legendary Mr. Ernie Elly! What an incredible video. Say hello to him for us!

[@johnbryantdrums]

Hi Threse - just found this and you are right - your Dad is fabulous! I played drums for Ray 5 years later and heard from the guys about Ernie and how respected he was. You have much to be proud of! John Bryant.

[@smandnu]

was wondering who he was. what an incredible performance, what a precious video. make sure you download it Threse!

J'étais à ce concert avec mon frère, j'avais 14 ans. Je n'oublierai jamais

[@jamesblackbird]

Et moi 26 ans, mon premier concert au Palais des Sports à Paris en octobre 1961....22 autres ont suivi!

[@paulbloom8847]

Blessed to have been able to enjoy this man for years.

[@biggjuntao3090]

That “I didn’t know what time it was” song slaps👏🏾🔥

[@tchangodeipianistedejazz2656]

I didn’t know what time is was. Grand standard Billie holiday, La chante super aussi

[@F7d600]

Great.

[@the1theonly_princesseri934]

Love the behind the scenes of Ray getting in the car and making his way to the stage. What a cool cat. The opulence is overwhelming.

[@calvinnay814]

i never knew he played other instruments....great sax sound!

Qué Maravilloso concierto...hasta las lágrimas me conmueve.... Maravilloso... sublime....🙏✔️💖🌻🙏🌺🌿✔️

[@burdoss1770]

I wished i was there - it seems to be one of Ray's best performances as a soloist as well as interacting with the most inspired big band!

[@danielm4114]

You would enjoy Ray’s performance at the Jazz Jamboree 1984 in Poland, available on YT elsewhere. His rendition of ‘Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?’ is showstopping

[@m1k3br4v0]

Thanks for posting. The entire set is amazing. Ray is great and the band is top notch. Classic performance

[@michaelhorton1350]

Engineer got his levels pretty good by ‘Georgia’ and the result is well worth the wait.

[@ed44libero]

Such an emotion to see this concert, John Coles in Am I blue...Blue Mitchel i I didn't know.....Magnificent

[@danielm4114]

Absolutely stunning readings of those two songs, @ezio droppo. The way Ray dictates those lentissimo tempos and builds the dynamics is a work of genius.

[@stephenmckinney2445]

3 min in and I'm just amazed. This is ridiculously good and Ray Charles hasn't even appeared yet 🙃

[@jamesblackbird]

Sorry I don't understand what you mean? There was always an instrumental part before Ray Charles came on stage! 😎

[@maurodessy6376]

qui aveva 39 anni...era una forza della natura...i gotta woman...straripante

[@danielm4114]

Legendary. Nothing more to say except you seldom see Ray Charles- you bear witness. Incredible show. He was through inventing genres and writing songs that have long become standards by 1969, and instead focused on reinventing others' material as only Ray knew how to do. His voice only got better as time went on, and the late 60s and early 70s he was in as fine form vocally as he'd ever be. Thanks for reading and uploading.

[@jamesblackbird]

Thank you! I'm Ray Charles fan since 1960!

[@danielm4114]

@@jamesblackbird Thanks for uploading all of these shows in the last few months. A few real gems! Cheers mate

[@jamesblackbird]

Thank you yes great very great show

[@kn5913]

I was lucky to attend a ray charles concert in Stuttgart Germany (while in the military) in the fall of 1969 this was probably the same tour

[@jamesblackbird]

Yes, same orchestra!

[@slimeydon]

We got to see him in the early 2000’s. One of the finest moments of our lives
