I can barely listen to anything Ray Charles does without tearing up. There's no one who can pack so much into one song, one phrase even, like he did. And anyone who think Willie Nelson is just a hick singer, just doesn't get it.

Ray is smiling because he knows he is blessed to be doing what he truly loves.... it is a rare blessing. I would have paid any amount of money to have seen this live. These two do not have the best voices in the world, but they are legends because they love the music... and every song is from the heart, sung with passion. I am truly envious of those who were lucky to see this, and I am thankful for youtube, so I could at least witness it on video.

Both of these immortals have left their signature stamps on "Georgia". Ray's is probably better known, but in my most humble opinion, both versions are essential. Both are incredibly soulful---once either of these singers touched a song, it was NEVER the same. The best evidence of the greatness of both? Both geniuses clearly LOVE the other's interpretation, neither having to compromise their individual style to fit the other's.

May our nation begin to heal, rebuild and move forward!

I seen Ray and the Raylettes in the 'Palais des Festivals' in Cannes in 1986. I was there on a American week in juli and got 1 of the last tickets :) We walked the red carpet to a AMAZINGLY GOOD vocal concert and great piano play. When i came back home the first thing i did was buying his audio cassette. His songs were magic to my ears, also his movements and little jokes. No 1 could sing 'Georgia On My Mind' like Ray did. Sadly this concert was not recorded for audience.
