Ray Charles - Song For You (Live at Montreux 1997)

[@tomaswajnerman3670]

What a legend. This is not just music, this is art. He was a real artist.

[@bluebeazley1390]

Music is art!!!

[@Lwazicuba]

Weirdly while I was going to class I was literally thinking of what you just wrote

[@joseramalho3297]

Amen to that!

[@bradhuskers]

Tomas. You are 100% correct. And, do you realize that some of the greatest artists in music history, turned the lyrics of others into critically acclaimed masterpieces. Do you understand that? Because millions of low IQ weak minded sheep don't. Ella Fitzgerald, Ray charles, Frank Sinatra and elvis presley are the greatest artists in music history because they did the most difficult thing in music. Turning the lyrics of another writer into a critically acclaimed masterpiece. THAT is true artistry and genius. If anyone doesn't understand what I just said, you need serious education.

He is blind. It was irony with the lyrics...10k people watchin me- he cant see them back.. And Donny Hathaway died in 79 after a studio session with Roberta Flack. Someone skillfully removed the safety glass in his room and killed him. Very doubtful he did that by himself. Donny was silenced.

[@fernandodavidyacarine2543]

This song it's a Donny's Hattaway song, who died when he had only 33 years Old in 1979, this brilliant musician sing with Aretha Franklin and Roberta Flack in the 70's, this pianoman have an indtrumental theme "the gueto" very well music.

[@cb0123]

How lucky we are to see this live performance. Ray has grey hair but proves himself as one of the greatest vocalists of all time. In fact he is one who sounds as good live as he does recorded! What I find comprehendible about Ray, and the other greats, is how he can accurately keep in time when he wants to but his best is to stray from the time. Keep in time and express otherwise; that's blues. Ray is the blues and soul great!

[@FaisalMm949]

That performance was great and few singers can keep their voices after 60 or 70 years. However, we have same performance in Arab culture and this is rarely happened even at this time .
