[@princemichael9128]

I'm in agreement with you

[@josephvonbulow1164]

Pretty pretty good 👍

[@MsMadam57]

[@MrSantified]

THERE'S ONLY 1 RAY CHARLES!! HE'LL NEVER BE DUPLICATED ONLY IMITATED!!! WHAT A GIFT!! ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS!!

[@darlenelongo8589]

sure miss knowing he's around.....

[@shannonclements5727]

Jonathon Collins I totally agree! His voice moves me in a way that probably only 4 others do! He's one of the greatest voices EVER! ❤

[@rayconsiglio3275]

Only Ray Charles can put soul, Christian, blues and country into a classic!!!

[@7Nereid]

Absolutely 🙌🙌🙌

[@fabioponte5133]

ABSLUTELY!

[@jeffkilgore6320]

Well said.

[@Incognitofrito1]

This has always been my all-time favorite Christmas song, & Ray Charles took this to a whole new level. BEAUTIFUL! 🎶 🌟 🎶

[@shannonclements5727]

GiGi I'm 100% right there with you! I never understood why so many ppl do not like this song in the first place! It has always been my favorite! But then to hear the INCREDIBLE Ray Charles take it to a whole other level! ❤ I guarantee you those who don't like the song would change their minds if they heard him sing it! I mean he is one of the greatest voices EVER!!! Btw have you heard him and Willie Nelson sing 7 Spanish angels? If not, you must check it out!

[@tamaramadison7563]

I love this Ray really did his Best for this one

[@richardbealle761]

I can't really sing... but in my heart, I sound just like Ray! Ha!

[@irishpasta]

My older brother introduced me to Ray Charles music when I was 7 yrs. old (63 years ago). Ray Charles has been in my life ever since. I have been very fortunate to have seen Ray live 4 times. His voice, songs, performance are totally unique - wonderful - moving !!!

[@ginawyatt8129]

I enjoy many other versions more than this one but Ray did a dam fine job here.

[@vatashapowdrell7121]

There is nobody that can ever touch Mr Charles when it comes to singing . The man was the best.

[@christiangutierrez6352]

This is my favorite version of this song. Ray Charles gets down.

[@ReaganAndLincolnFan]

Absolutely agree. This, and his version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer are my favorites rendition of each.

[@Frog_Mob_Boss]

The only one that doesn't sound depressing as hell. Thank ya brother Ray.

+JEFFERY KILGORE same here, I hated TLDB, until a few days ago I was in a speedway gas station and heard this over the loudspeaker. I was like HOLD UP!!!How did I not know about this version! Needless to say I didn't walk out until it was over

[@BlastinAdrian]

I Agree, Ray was and is Great

[@Zeldarw104]

Hello!! The other versions are cancelled!🙂

[@krisrobinson8968]

This is my first Christmas-song I play in my CD-player every year and my last one, when my Christmas-tree leaves my house.

[@user-mp1yg2tt8d]

I first heard this on my car radio and promply pulled over to finish listening to it. My favorite version by far.

[@sunshine2664]

...Goosebumps😊

[@deniswilson8152]

One of the best renderings on this or any Christmas song period.. his heart is in it and that band is on point

[@shannonclements5727]

Denis Wilson I agree 100%!!!

[@DSisco-ov4zm]

I remember seeing him on TV in the 70s , Ray put his feelings into the music, not many artists have Soul and you feel it like Ray could sing.

[@smoothoperator9746]

"I looked over yonder, and what did I see?" My favorite line in the song, and it's not even a line in the song.

[@janwilliams178]

Beautiful to hear praises to our Lord and Saviour. Glory to God!

[@johngrogan4609]

Iconic. Soulful. An American treasure.

[@carmellacarter322]

I LOVE THIS SONG - IT HAS ALOT OF STRONG FEELING THAT- ONE CAN FEEL FROM THE MUSIC - YOU HAVE TO FEEL THE MUSIC - TO UNDERSAND - I PLAY THIS SONG ALL YEAR AROUND - IT'S DEEP LIKE THAT . . .

[@brianingram574]

I know right. Start out country western;threw in a little gospel filled with R&B and ended up soul.. BLUES at it's best!

[@elsiecarr2808]

He did the darn thing, now didn't he? Glad I got to ride along.
