Ray Charles talks about airplanes & his childhood

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Such a gentle soul. His mother was certainly beautiful inside out! And wise!

[@jasonlassiter9229]

He is a genius...He is a legend...The incomparable Ray Charles...My all-time favorite R&B singer.

[@sauce556]

when Ray talks about his mother, not feeling sorry for himself and finding at least 2 ways to do anything...damn that got me good

[@Devineintention]

I've always thought of Ray to be such a strong person. He endured so much in his life from living in poverty, watching his brother drown, losing his sight, losing both his parents as well as battling heroin addiction. It's occurred to me that he certainly got that strength from his mother. I can't imagine what it was like for her losing her other son as well as trying to raise another, all the while being a black person and extremely poor. R.I.P to Ray, his brother, his mother and his father.

His father was a rolling stone. And groomed his mother(ray was born when she was only 15).

[@felinefokus]

I can listen to him all day

[@lisalane7648]

Ray Charles is such an Inspiration. He is a breath of fresh air in this World. He never saw life as a hindrance, he embraces life every step of the way. You may loose your sight but your GIFTS are ENDLESS. LOVE YOU RAY. PEACE ♥️

[@All_Eyes_On_G]

Damn I didnt expect to cry but I sure did hearing how she would always tell him there is always at least 2 ways to do something. I wish someone would have taught me that at a young age. To often we are taught in black and white, a wrong and a right way. Thank you for uploading.

I love you Ray, but I dont want to be on that plane.

[@michaeldennistooley4271]

I'd choose to be on a plane flight flew by Ray Charles over listening to music flown by modern artist 💜

[@gnewt75]

Thank you for venues like that of KZbin for having interviews like this to see a genius bare his soul in a forum that isn't just music. Especially when speaking of his mother. Her presence really meant something to him. He even stopped rocking back and forth at the end, when he spoke about regrets.

[@nochannelmusician769]

Watch where you're kicking, Ray. You got me right in the feels.

He a fraud

@@werightnow You a moron!

[@michaeldennistooley4271]

I choose to be on a plane piloted by Ray Charles over listening to music flown by modern music any day ☮️✌️

[@patriziadefaziofloyd2580]

Ray i love you ...

[@LucasHaneman]

Can relate to this in so many ways. You're the king Ray!

[@anitasseo]

very moving.

[@michaeldennistooley4271]

World class one of my soulmates not sexually but spiritually and musically. Much love and endurance for the legacy of our brother Ray Charles 💜☮️

[@pouriashahbazi]

i'm so moved

[@JeffGR4]

I always loved airplanes too, Ray.

[@nadinemartin9512]

His mom is the real MVP

[@neutontablet1702]

Cavett, meh... Ray Charles, AMAZING. Love him now. Didn't realize it growing up but in today's nonsense, Ray is a gem that is sorely missed.

Ray Charles Robinson (Albany, Georgia, 23 de septiembre de 1930-Beverly Hills, California, 10 de junio de 2004), más conocido como Ray Charles, fue un cantante, saxofonista y pianista estadounidense de soul y R&B. Entre sus amigos y músicos él prefería que le llamaran "Hermano Ray" y era frecuentemente referido como "El Genio". Charles comenzó a perder la visión a la edad de 5 años y a los 7 años era ciego.[2]​Fue pionero de la música soul durante los años 1950 por la combinación del blues, rhythm and blues y el estilo gospel dentro de la música que grabó para el sello Atlantic. Contribuyó a la integración de la música country, rhythm and blues y música pop durante los años 1960 con su gran éxito en ABC Records, notable con sus dos álbumes de Modern Sound. Mientras estuvo con ABC, Ray Charles fue uno de los primeros músicos afroamericanos en tener control artístico en la compañía para la cual grababa.

[@TaoNaomi]

his mom was a strong woman!

[@madeleinebelle2105]

Thank you...really enjoyed these interviews. Dick Cavett for me...was a terrific interviewer. Allowed his guests to talk and bring them out a bit. I read somewhere he had a friendship with Janis Joplin for awhile...which was a surprise. Just goes to show you can't tell a book from it' cover.

Ray Charles was a Foo Fighter, before we had Foo Fighters

[@seandeans1279]

I've seen videos of him driving a car. Wouldn't surprise me at all

[@osamabinladen824]

Wow he likes airplanes too

[@astralpolice]

Holy schnikes that's the gosh darn plot to Airplane! Mel Brooks you mad man! Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines.

[@michaelwayne7887]

Cavett, normally a brilliant interviewer, was just a tad out of his element here. Of course, anyone sharing the stage or screen with Mr Ray Charles is ailready in a very large shadow of this immense talent. Hearing Ray's interviews is often just as endearing as his music.
