Incredible lesson !

Damn yeah!
This is the happiest person I've ever seem in my life.
In no way did he have a "happy" life simplistically speaking. Takes something special to persevere though

True
Its a shame he couldnt see if you are a happy person
The fact that he was blind and still playing and singing perfectly is true talent.
I mean, being blind lets your other senses get stronger
@@RivalHades-mk1xl Matt Murdock agrees
@@theexodus539 haha thats so funny!
you dont need your eyes to sing, and most people don't look at the instrument while playing anyways
I can sing without looking at my mouth.....
The way he moves his body, his feet, his hands to catch the rhythm and tempo is next level.
What a legend he is
Also blind yet doesn't lose track of his surroundings, knocking the piano or mic, so much to it. Amazin!
yes friend
Love this. ❤❤❤

That hits you where you live
Uno G Ray also said he has never seen “p”, but I know what it is! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i didn't know that he was blind.
Just figured it out that he meant beside being blind and cant see anything, you are in good hand, you can do everything you like if you have the will for it. Took me 2 weeks to understand it. How stupid.
I remember when I visited my grandmother in our small town, She dropped some serious wisdom on me. She said "Grandson, one day some people will waste their time reading your comment.
There are NO up-and-coming singers who can fill this man's shoes.

Exactly! The Red singers Shine!

shut up
I promise you 😢
💯 such an iconic legend of R&B
It's MEN. LEGEND.
Es un rey de la musica
This sounds like it was recorded in the studio. It’s just insane to me how they is not even trying and it just sounds so good.
Smooth, real old school musician. A performance is just another rehearsal that happens to have a crowd. Do again tomorrow even better.
That is the skill! Practice your craft so much until it looks effortless. I bet a lot of rehearsals made the performance look like they’re not even trying on the night!
They are professionals unlike the posers these days
He was Old but filled with energy and happiness

He was really ALIVE...maybe all we need that kind of energy...

Heroin is one hell of a drug

I saw him once when he was getting pretty old. He was led to the piano, as usual to his lack of sight, but he wasn't having an easy time walking and seemed pretty frail. But once he started playing and singing, it's like he lit up and was a like a young man again.
that's beautiful but sad at the same time :(
Happy for a blind guy

It's not related, but years ago when I worked in a care home I saw something similar. Those people were in such bad condition, but after getting glass of wine suddenly back to life.
They’re all gone now. All the real icons and giants of rock’n’roll. We won’t see anything like them again.
True :(

I was 5 years old, dancing like a mofo on this, bouncing around the whole house. What a time, the 90s were. Want to point out that being at that age in the 90s, the elders would listen to 60s-70s-80s music. I'm still in love with each and every song to this day. Hate pop music, starting from the 2010s, when they stopped making real music.
I miss his charisma and charm. Look at this performance. It must have been amazing to be with such a legendary human.

My grandma was lucky enough to go to one of his concerts
If I can just have 10% of Ray's talent I'd be the happiest man alive.
Not in this world you wouldn't .. This world is not meant for exceptions like Mr Charles. He was far too kind, far too good to be in this world as we know it. People like Ray Charles would be far more appreciated about 120 years back
He had his demons, a childhood trauma and a severe drug addiction that he battle for a long time. Talent is all well and good, but it takes a lot of work and talent does not make you happy!
