Ray Charles - Love In Three Quarter Time (LIVE) HD

The Miami Lighthouse for the Blind
James L.Knight Center in Miami,Florida,1999
Lyrics :
I like enchilados and old El Dorados that shine
And old friend the guitar and songs,and women,and wine
They say that I'm livin to fast but I'm feelin' fine (I feel alright)
And I just keep easin' along in 3/4 time
Sometimes I get sideways and stay up all night writin songs
They say it ain't healthy but somehow I keep goin on (I do)
I write what I feel and don't care if the damn thing don't rhyme(that's alright)
Just gimme a 'C' chord and play it in 3/4 time
Chorus:
It's a big old world and we all have to live out our lives
One thing's for sure ain't none of us gonna get out alive(I'm sorry about that)
So while I'm still kickin I'm gonna keep pickin my tunes
I like what I'm doin and I hope it don't end too soon
Cause all my life there's one thing I keep hopin to find
A woman who likes to make love in 3/4 time (be nice ya know)

Ray Charles.🎉

Word to Tony Joe White for penning these lyrics and to Ray for infusing it with his beautiful soul.

Amen brother! I saw Ray and Traviss Tritt preform this song on CMT several years ago and have been addicted to it ever since. I actually made love to a girl in three four time and smiled to my self while I was doing it. God bless women and GOOD music...whatever the genre!

Being born in 1960,I was aware of music at a very early age thanks to Juke boxes and some AM radio.My first visual music memory.....Ray Charles on the TV playing the piano,lookin sharp and singing a song I knew was for me/to me.Love you Ray,my piano man RIP knowing you will always live on.

Mom and Dad drank , weekends mostly and usually in a "family friendly" bar. Naturally, the jukebox played constantly and the kids were imbued with a taste for real music. Haven't drank personally, for over 30 years now, and I suppose the jukeboxes aren't the same either, but I still long for a night of music as I grew up with ... and with KZbin I have that option.

Thanks for the post. Always loved this song by Ray. He was a musical genius and a living legend. R.I.P. Ray where ever you are tickling those ivories today.

[@ramallenann]

@56AlexanderLong Welcome aboard. I first saw Ray live when I was 16. That was in 1964 and I have been listening ever since. At age 65 I find he just gets better. The man was a genius.

[@murph5438]

The greatest soulman there ever was having fun--- miss you Ray

[@omahascout]

I know that you and I know what "...Three Quarter Time" is but most folks just google "...3/4 time". That may be just my way of saying I searched and searched for this and FINALLY found it. Thank you for posting this vid.

This tickled me pink 😊

I love this song; been listenin to it since i was a little kid; im 19 and i just wanna say that im saddened by the fact that many of my peers today no nothing of this and many other classics. Its time to get some more TRUE music lovers in this world; i enjoy listening to everything from classical; to death metal.

a philosophical country waltz by the legendary R&B artist ... well done, Papa Ray

[@purrfectp.h.9405]

Legendary singer. I have to agree his songs are pure genius.

[@isaackhanyi8957]

3/4 Time Lyrics [Verse 1] I like enchiladas and old El Dorados that shine . My old friend the guitar and songs and women and wine . They say I'm livin' too fast but I feel fine, I feel all right . And I just keep easin' along in three - four time . Sometimes I get sideways and stay up all night writing songs . They say it ain't healthy, but somehow I keep goin' on. ; I do I write what I feel and don't care if the damn thing don't rhyme, dat's all right . Just gimme a C-chord and play it in 3 - 4 time . [Chorus] Whoa, it's a big old world and we all have to live our lives . One thing's for sure , ain't none of us gonna get out alive, I'm sorry about dat . [Verse 2] So while I'm still kickin', I'm gonna keep pickin' my tunes I like what I'm doin' and I hope It don't end too soon 'Cause all of my life there's one thing I keep hopin' to find, A woman who likes to make love in 3 - 4 time .
