Ray Price - Born to Lose

[@poon_don]

There's something almost comforting about the fact that people have been feeling this way and relating to music like this across so many generations. I turned 30 in 2022, had an ex fiancee take off on me in the middle of the night with barely an explanation, and now music like this just fully resonates. Who would've known wearing girl jeans, flat-ironing my hair, and listening to bands like The Used in high school would've eventually evolved me into becoming a Ray Price fan, but when you compare the lyrics and life experiences that led to both, it actually makes perfect sense. They both mean more to me now than ever, and might as well be the same genre if you take the age, instrumentals, and generational differences out of the equation. Love this song, glad I was lucky enough to discover it during the worst year of my life

I have loved listen to Ray Price since I was very young. I am now 63 and still love his music.

[@peggybagley8031]

u dam right.

[@caryd67]

You're still young, Darlin'

I knew Ray’s family growing up in east Texas. Even his stepmother was my 5th and 6th grade teacher and even had the pleasure of meeting him a few years before he passed. I loved the man and his music and miss him quite a lot. Country music just isn’t the same any more.

[@TheMindIlluminated]

Country music isn’t even Country anymore, unless you know where to look. It’s mostly Pop.

[@frankchilds9848]

Ray sounds like he's literally living the song out!

[@lenaandersson7270]

Best version BY RAY🎼💕 A TRUE COUNTRYLEGEND with fantastic voice.🎙🎶🎵❤LOVELY pics💕

[@jeriw]

You know it's up to the older generation to make sure NO ONE forgets an artist like Ray Price. My poor grandboys, they have to listen to him when they come over to my house and we're working in the garage. They're 14 and 12 so no matter what, I know they won't forget the music. I can remember that Ray Price was always being played in my house as a kid and it never left me. When my husband passed away, Ray has been there to remind me it was all "For The Good Times."

[@benlujan288]

Amen!

[@gardeeoh]

A country legend sung by a true legend!!

[@dennismarthaler5892]

Talk about hear and soul, Ray Price sings this song with the feeling only Ray Price can put in the songs that brings back so many memories!

[@edwardsoffner4299]

[@charlesbarry971]

I love 💕💕 the version by Ray Charles. He had a very good version.

[@francisalanwormald6328]

[@SharonSellvey]

It does for me also. ❤😊

[@johnfleff]

This song can be played on your harmonica in the keys of “Eb" Eli: “King of Rock & Roll Harmonica”

[@stevecharlemagne4496]

Of the 100 + covers of this classic and sad heartbreaking song, this is the best one of them all.

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

This is a great version of this beautiful song. It sounds like it was sung without any hope even of anyone even hearing the song.

[@benlujan288]

Excellent description, sir!

[@MikeS29]

When Country was Music.

[@dougbarron8337]

Damn, I love Ray. It's like the song "Murder On Music Row". There is no more country music!

[@phorleef]

This was country music, so much better than the pop country introduced in the 70s

[@eyeta2]

I love this verson by Ray. Marty Robbins did a great version too...so many memories of these 2 great performers....

[@francisalanwormald6328]

At 82 I late to this by Ray..add it yo my list of very favorites... RIP

[@Rustina61]

Beautiful ! I heard Ray Charles sing this, both "Rays" are excellent !

[@josemiramontes2312]

Try Dean Martin, you'll like it!!!

[@Rustina61]

Thank you for letting me know about Dean singing Born To Lose - I loved it ! Dean always sang from his heart.....:)

[@josemiramontes2312]

You're quite welcomed!!!

[@Rustina61]

I like the old-time singers such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett - I'm glad you do too ! Have a good Sunday....:)

[@josemiramontes2312]

It looks like we share some taste for the old singer's !!! I happen to like Buck Owen, Roy Clark, Eddie Arnold, and Cal Smith. Although I was born in Mexico I acquired the taste for country music right away.

[@lizwright2384]

Love Ray Price.

[@mikeeldridge1600]

[@stevecharlemagne4496]

This and Hank Snow's cover version are the best out of many I've heard IMO aside the 1942 original.

[@leoraakagi9142]

[@jamesbooth4335]

I was born to lose since day one and still losing

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Sorry man , been there and I tried and failed. I think back of all the days I should have stayed in bed, instead of chasing falling stars.

[@JohnRinNoHo]

Me too. I used to be very depressed until I came across a Ziggy comic in the newspaper where he says something like: "I have totally and completely given up all hope . . . and now I feel much better."

[@joaquinybarra8184]

You’re still here N KiCKIN, Mr James, We never stop learning… N Your Humility makes U strong SIR ! We All Feel like that Some Days , God gives us all the same Earth & Ceiling n The Breath of Life , Rich or Poor , we R Blessed

[@russelljohnson5873]

Awesome!!!!

[@chaplin829]

GREAT VERSION!Never heard RAY PRICE'S version before.

[@bonappettitlalande7725]

It's abit odd that this song was on two albums in the same year. Born to Lose and Danny Boy. But I noticed the Danny Boy version has alot different sound or arrangement.Both are excellent and one of my favorite RP songs.Thx Ray!!

[@hawklady71]

Ray lost a lot of his band and went on to replace them with more orchestra members with a lot more violins. That's why " Danny Boy " is so different.

[@bluegrassfan23]

Great job, by the Old Cherokee Cowboy.

[@wolfeatworld]

✭✭✭✭✭ Bless you, Jeri ;-) Great post, from what I know is a great 'lady.' Sam

[@rogerreid2009]

Dedicated to Ray and Dick and Jason and Corbin and Tommy and Tony

[@bazthehandyman]

Fab u lous

[@pollyoutofpocket]

Some people might stone me for this, but he kind of sounds like Elvis.... but better.

[@hordechess7629]

Yes, he really does!

[@bazthehandyman]

Nothing to touch it.

[@raybishop9712]

great

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

Hard to believe anyone could do a better job on this song than Ray, but I have to give this one to Johnny Rodriguez. Maybe it is the mixed language version by Johnny that makes it better.

[@EngPheniks]

It's no joke. I'm born in the wrong decade, a generation that has no idea what Music is.

[@ancienttribes5310]

What I listen to when I binge drink alone and crasturbate...
