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.
I've cried like a baby listening to this... I've thought about their fantastic friendship and mine with my buddy... Life is nothing without our friends, they are like angels in our life
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!
@@crystalj9725 Literally watching it now and yup. To be aware of our history is to be proud and grateful...so many did so much. When Colin Powell came out and saluted those Tuskegee Airmen...yeah, I was done.
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 thought about this song when I watched the Quincy documentary and how much it got me at the time. I watch it now and it still gets me. Their friendship was beautiful in every facet.
talk about depth. wow what a song. the look in Quincy's face, he travelled back in time in his mind to them as young men doing their thing and exploring their creativity and being close pals.
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.
Everytime i cry like a baby watching this and thinking to their wonderful friendship..like quincy helped ray and how Ray helped Quincy...stunning performance by a genius,my Brother Ray.
After watching Quincy Jones Special i had to start and continue studying and loving the music that my grandfather left me. Thank you Mr.Quincy and Mr.Ray for showing me that the way i love my friends is not bad but instead is the only way......... God bless you guys... and i love you guys
Like many others I came here from watching the documentary. From the moment he says "Hey Quincy" my eyes got filled with tears. This was the hardest 1:45 of time I had to endure. What a BEAUTIFUL Tribute!! I miss Ray Charles. But I miss My Mom~My Buddy even more.
Like many others in this comment section, this song makes me feel connected to a lost loved one. It reminds me of my grandpa and I hope he understand that his buddy misses him! I’m glad that we all feel and share the emotion expressed in this song and it’s something not bitter sweet but endearing and reminiscent.
I somehow feel this track is the last goodbye between two best friends and both EPIC LEGENDS in their own time - Full of strong, strong emotions (it got a tear rolling) - Wow! - RESPECT to both these heroes of mine & many others - RESPECT
Quincy, que a escuchado muchas canciones y compuesto para muchos artistas, vino a quebrarse con una progresión sencilla tengo un solo amigo, lo considero mi mejor amigo, aunque el no lo sabe, pero el tiene a sus mejores amigos, solo queda decirle lo que dice Ray : I love you man, I love you esto es para ti, esta canción, mi amigo
I came right to this after watching the Quincy Jones documentary. I felt this was a beautiful and touching moment
So did I..
This hits me so hard
Me too! Lovely
💛
I went searching for this after I saw the documentary also and couldn't find it. So I uploaded it, as it is a real gem.
This is the ultimate bro moment
I am japanese,
I watched the Quincy documentary and was moved by this scene. Tears did not stop. Two amazing people!
That's amazing love.
Telling your friends you love them is the ultimate showing of maturity.
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.
70 years! Amazing, I didn't know that. Thanks for that. No wonder this song cuts so deep.
Wow everybody coming here after seeing that doc... something special happened here.
Hey, Dave, it's Jared from work. Fancy seeing you here. This moment was incredible. I can't stop thinking about it.
You too, cool it brought similar people together ;) :)
How can people give this song a thumbs down we live in a fucked up world...
I've cried like a baby listening to this... I've thought about their fantastic friendship and mine with my buddy... Life is nothing without our friends, they are like angels in our life
Me too 😩
That song was 22 words and it said more than most songs ever will.
no kiddin
Man this made me cry.
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!
damn those last 20 minutes of quincy jones documentary.... all the invisible onion-cutting ninjas.
Right!! They always seem to find me lol.
The second Ray started singing I was in a pool of tears!!!!

Ray was 18 and Quincy was 14 when they met in Seattle. Life can be amazing!!!
I’m crying right now bcouse of this two legendary ray charles and Quincy jones.. 2023 still counting..live long Quincy jones..rest on king ray charles
CDLM, Been a migrant is so hard, I miss my buddy so hard
Nothing stronger than Love & Friendship
Possibly the greatest bromance of all time
This song makes me want to check in on the homies. Legendary brotherhood Quincy and Ray had, can hear the emotion in each word he sings.
If you can watch this without tearing up, call a coroner because you’re friggin dead inside bro.
A classic "I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!" moment...
I thought about this song when I watched the Quincy documentary and how much it got me at the time. I watch it now and it still gets me. Their friendship was beautiful in every facet.
Rays voice omg. I can't help but cry. One of THE greatest vocalist ever. Ohh I miss him
Great documentary on Quincy as well
When Ray Charles said my buddy my heart went in my throat
Rest easy Dylan love you forever my buddy
talk about depth. wow what a song. the look in Quincy's face, he travelled back in time in his mind to them as young men doing their thing and exploring their creativity and being close pals.
You can tell there's so much more than any song between them. So many years.
