How can an individual with eyesight give a thumbs down...The Man is still and will be a legend. Amazing.

[@bobdevo]

The opening keyboard solo nothing short of brilliant!

[@kyrerichardson4613]

R.I.P. Ray Charles The best on the piano ever.

[@dannywillson671]

Thank

[@BelleroseQC]

Though Ray Charles may be talented, he will never compare to Beethoven.

[@PeteK-01]

+François Royal Just like John Lennon would never compare to Enrico Caruso.. LOL Wtf?

[@ExVeritateLibertas]

+François Royal That's like saying Stephan King will never compare to Shakespeare. Why would you even try to compare them? That doesn't mean Stephan King isn't incredibly talented at what he does.

[@kizodom]

+François Royal l'ignorance

[@ambassadorsworld]

At the age of 70 years he was still rocking the place :-) Fucking brilliant, I thank my father for introducing his music and that of B.B. King to me when I was a kid !!!

[@vpuspav715vpuspav7]

I think the 'feel good ' factored in strongly, that made this genre more readily accessible to all that took part in its vibrancy. Ray Charles could 'move' the audience to his emotions - a gifted musician too, very few like him today

[@07speak]

-love is blind -God is love So ray charles is God v.c.

[@MyKingkongg]

i keep repeating the first part just to see him getting it right, its just magic

[@bluegrayskies3831]

best intro ever

[@NightFlasher34]

he was a great artist he is dead but his music never die. R.I.P Uncle Ray greeting from Turkey.

[@mrtridingon]

Eis um grande fenomeno!!! Ray Charles dono de um espirito musical fenomenal sabe com fazer transbordar acordes maravilhoso. Sinto muito a perda de grandes genios musicais como este. Será que ainda teremos fenomenos como estes? E S P E R O...

[@tejodcruz]

That first minute absolutely blew my mind.

[@myboy576]

Me too ! That's incredible !

[@TheNikeike]

Its an old blind man playing that piano! Come on people! You got to love him!

[@vintilescubogdan4383]

God gave us Justin B and Micky M and took from us Ray and Elvis , .... what have I done to deserve this

[@Gladiator706]

Black or white, Dead or a live Ray Charles LEGEND!!!

[@Laquatus13]

C'est un monstre ce type ! Tout le monde la ferme et le laisse regler son instrument dans le plus grand calme et avec grand respect !!! Dès qu'il sent la bonne intonation, les autres suivent ! C'etait vraiment un grand bonhomme !!! On a perdu quelqu'un de géant !!! je vous le dis !

[@fcasdoc]

¡Me encanta! Gracias por colgar buena música

[@LotsaPictures]

Man. I'm in love with this song because of the way he invented the electric piano with this song. I jut sbaought a 1959 Wurlitzer piano because pf this song. And here, Ray plays the cheesiest approximation of an electric piano I guess it doesn't matter what your play. IT'S WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING. Thanks Ray.

[@robertbeckembauer9032]

Excelente cantante y musico. Un Maestro. Tocar el piano es muy dificil pero Ray, siendo ciego, lo dominó a la perfección y le agregó su estilo inigualable que lo convirtió en uno de los más afamados cantantes del mundo.

[@LeTaPe1]

Music becomes a mess of fanzy sounds, and words mixed together! This video should have at least 7.000.000.000 views!!! And the same amount of likes!

[@PaintballProductions]

he was 70 years old when this was recorded... he is a legend.

[@dominiquecarboni2789]

What'd i say by: Ray Charles WONDERFUL performance this man desserves respect worldwilde for all this contributions for the music ....

[@sstephens5602]

Wow. hit restart at 1:04 for about 6 times before i let the song play out! INCREDIBLE!

[@abduboukrouche4388]

Muzikly Inklined i know what you mean brother !

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Wow! He's great with an orchestra and a grand piano and he's great with a keyboard and a trio. Ray Charles is just great!

[@1killacomic]

i absolutely loved when he crossed his legs at 3:16 when the song hit him and he felt it!!! i love watching MASTERS performing their crafts!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

[@bigpoppainthehouse]

Those folks need to show a little bit more love for a legend like Ray Charles

[@richardasistad5823]

Ray Charles is a true AMERICAN ICON

[@frankmartin9313]

Mr. Ray Charles had a lot to say , he said it all and everybody heard him !!! R.I.P. RAY CHARLES !

[@carajita2321]

oh god!! why you make me born in 90s!!! that's not fair!!! GONNA BE GOOD TO LISTEN RAY IN HEAVEN! ;)

[@pelhambx]

A true American genius and treasure...

[@tayebchetouane42]

C'est formidable , formidable 💜 💛💖

[@ObsidianUrsine]

It's amazing how seamless he transitions from the solo at the beginning to the opening riff.

[@MyBroIsASpak]

What a legend this guy is, no competition towards him

[@lbsubstylee]

music hits this man differently than it hits others... so awesome

[@SWEeTAs98375]

I love it how he can retain his voice even though being that old. Still so sexy and that unique sound and feel... incredible!!!

[@ChristinaLavitt]

nothing like the classics, RIP Ray may you bless the ears of everyone in the after life

[@laurent_psct]

Oh my Goodness. Would have be here to see this maestro. He was blind, but felt the beat.

[@svfox]

People with rhythm can't do this. This is pure God given talent. I'm white and have no rhythm at all. the only part in the movie they made I liked was when he told the promoter to stick it and he wasn't going to sing in the south anymore. Ray was the man.

[@dedo2u]

This is what it really means when someone lives on music. Pure sensation

[@luisyasipora]

SI CIEGO ES CONSIDERADO DENTRO DE LOS 10 MEJORES ARTISTAS DE LA HISTORIA MUSICAL Y TOCA LOS TECLADOS DE ESA FORMA... IMAGINENSE LO QUE HUBIERA HECHO CON LA VISTA NORMAL... FUE Y ES UN CAPO ESTE VIEJO...

[@mateosx123]

I am 16, and I love him, his music make me happy! :) Not like today's teens music, shit for mases.

[@TheDreDog1979]

Yes. "The King of Soul" indeed! Such a genius!!!

[@LionKing1130]

seeing this makes me cry when i see my generations hit/pop music.

[@sergioalves9080]

É impossível ficar parado ouvindo o som deste que sem dúvida, é o "RAY" da Soul Music. Cresci ouvindo as músicas desta "fera" por influencia da minha família, e até hoje, nas nossas reuniões aos finais de semana, é som obrigatório. É o inventor do Samba-Rock.Tenho 64 anos e frequento bailes nos salões da cidade de Sampa, onde se curte música de qualidade como estas por exemplo. Abraços a todos os que curtem e aos que não curtem também.

[@deeway1963]

The Man! Never will be another Ray Charles-ever!

[@JebediahGoldstriker]

Listening to this made me the most joyous i have been in a long time.That's What I Say.

[@theccrbandakathecajuncount3747]

Even when he fucks around he sound better than most musicians.

[@Nuunu88]

Wooooh!!! That intro!!! :'D Almost cried with joy :'D ! WOOH!!!

[@brilliantmojo]

I proved hes is the best rock musician to my friend via this vid

[@antoni7515]

this is possibly the best thing ive ever seen! Ray is a Genius BIG TIME!

[@jontz888]

now this is music...

[@lgndnhswnmnd]

Music The Common Denominator. Ray Charles a Master of Expressing Himself.

[@murph5438]

Ray never did a song the same way at his soul he was a jazz man ---- this version was so great --- even after all the years he just reinvents the song and creates something new and has fun with it -- I miss you Ray you were the greatest popular music performer in the 20 eth century your music will never die

[@TheDsauce]

how did race pop up? he reigned supreme over all.!!! he is one of a kind!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1961 {February 22nd} Ray Charles performed "What'd I Say" on the NBC-TV program 'The Perry Como Show'...

[@Perryfan001]

This song is amazing. One's i read in a magazine about this song and it said "Is it gospel, is it R&B, is it blues,..." Now I see, they were right and that is an achievement in world history.

[@RNMARQUES]

I almost could fly to anywhere listening this jazz piano!!!!!

[@MotionBlurPictures]

I Have No Words. He Is a Legend In a World of Sounds. Perfect!!!!!

[@B00flstc]

Eugenios~ Even I can see the man is blind. He probably was, but just didn't know. Pure genius!

[@littlecake101]

Ray was one of the coolest kats in the game ya dig. Would have killed to see him live.

[@Shakedoctorsblues]

At about 1:05, I start to get major chills. One of THE best ever!!

[@OXPuppylover25OX]

Ray Charles was a damn genius. End of story.

[@NightFlasher34]

The best version of this song

[@hariharasoonu2855]

The best jazz song, ever.

[@TheGWC1946]

Just close your eyes and listen.One of a Kind Thanks Ray

[@Janssenjasper0316]

that man keeps on giving me chills and keeps make me moving ..even when im in a senior home and turn this one on when im spinning records of the good ol days ... old but young people all know who Ray is ... He's a man with such a big soul in his voice and body language .... may he rest in peace now and may his music not rest and let it swing till the earth explodes ...God Bless

[@RazerxImbah]

I'd go out of my mind to be in the same room as Ray Charles he's a living legend

[@rlg826]

YES SIR!!! THERE WAS NONE LIKE HIM ............ NEVER WILL BE ANY LIKE HIM!!!! RAY CHARLES, LADIES & GENTS!!

[@yim.o5082]

i so wish i could someday play guitar as brilliantly as he played all his music!!!

[@joaomamede1142]

I don't think Ray Charles played the guitar :p (Blind people have sensitive fingers, usually it's the instrument to avoid for a blind person)

[@yim.o5082]

João Mamede i know, but i can play this song on guitar and I'm just saying i hope to play it as well as he could play instruments/music.

[@richedward6536]

João Mamede ? 30 percent of the best guitar players of all time were blind!

[@Lafayettebluesman]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe this, I'm actually crying. I didn't think a song like this would have that effect on me. I love this song so so much.

[@giorgioadams]

This man was a true ledgen artist just amaz ing.. may he RIP... There was only Ray Charles.... bless him.. his music lives on forever... great talent..Thank you for the video.... 13bisrecords... bless you.. peace love....

[@fucu41]

[@GeoZeppelin1979]

[@KKEVSTERR]

We saw Ray, September 2000, ... Glad we saw this legend live. Thanks for posting.

[@mkl62]

A #1 hit for Ray Charles and His Orchestra on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 50th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.

[@god29042008]

Ray Charles genio , yo ni con los ojos al 100% aprendo a tocar piano, teclados, saxo alto, nada de eso. por eso lo admiro.

[@manuelsalcedo1332]

There is something sure, I was born in the wrong time and the wrong place. This is music, period. Ray Charles is the Man.

[@onnie9summers]

I've never seen the original drum lick performed anywhere but the record, probably because it's so good no-one can cover it.
