    If it wasn't for Ray Charles taking Quincy under his wing at the age of 14 who knows where music would be today. Thats a true friendship though, Ray died 2 years after this performance, Friends for over 70 years.

      We can hear it in Ray's voice. That's decades of love, respect, friendship, etc. When he speaks at the end ~1:30; there's no keeping these eyes dry ... not a chance!

    There's so much behind the tone and the age of his voice. In a few moments a lifetime of laughs, pains, ups and downs is expressed in a little message sung by a great friend. Wow

    I just rewatched "Quincy" last night, and this tore me UP. What a love letter to his good friend, and Rashida should be more than proud of herself for a great, great doc about her dad. I cried through this part, and most of the rest of the doc. Wow! What a true renaissance man, and a genius. The people he worked with, guided and helped out along the way can never be measured. I love this man.
