Ray Charles was one of the true pioneers of soul music. Born in Georgia in 1930 he was one of the first performers to mix gospel, R & B and jazz to create a new form of black pop music that would come to be known as soul. His voice and delivery were strikingly different and instantly recognisable. He had his first hits in the early 50's and was still hitting the charts into the 21st century. His death in June 2004 from liver disease was front page news around the world.
This concert was filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 19, 1997 and features Ray Charles and his orchestra, led by sax player Al Jackson, and of course The Raelettes.
The full performance is available on the Eagle Vision DVD "Live at Montreux 1997", out now. - Hudba
This man is blind, playing a piano, singing, entertaining, and leading his band... Nothing is impossible.
He's amazing
If you can do it,you can achieve it
Breathing without a Space suit on the moon is impossible.
Kanye west gold digger
I played with him a couple of years before passing away, he was puré energy.
who's here waiting on Georgia's election results for 2020? Sing it brother Ray Charles, RIP to one of the greatest of our time.
Me!
Me too!
That why I'm here!
Lol me
Absolutely.
if you notice hes not singing, hes literally just speaking from his heart and melody follows those words.
Can you imagine being a boy in the Midwest, in the 50's and 60's, blind and African American, creating your own musical genre, because there was no music like that, addicted to drugs, discriminated against for your color and disowned for your music???
Dont do it???
Well, it's another day at the office for *Ray Charles Robinson*
Fly high "Brother Ray", and may the Lord be with you
The best ever! I saw him perform in London and was the greatest concert I have ever seen in my life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song hit # 1 in 1960. Ray Charles won 17 Grammy awards. One of the BIG BOSSES!
Hello Maria how are you doing
Hello Maria, I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
legend...
Cool !
This song is definitely one of my favorite songs
It's sad knowing that Ray was once banned from doing shows in his home state of Georgia, because he refused to play segregated shows. This is his gift to the people that once shunned him, a gift returned to him when the Georgia State legislature decided to name his version of this song their official state song.
This actually never happened. While the movie portrays it that way, Ray was actually never banned from performing in Georgia
Lotuzz lmfao
@@williammartin5455 what's so funny about lotuzz comment?
@@lotuzz7409 lol
Just so you know, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1930 and is about Hoagy's sister, named Georgia (he himself was a native of Indiana). Although a romantic and very inspirational story; it is not the truth.
Ray Charles started 50 feet behind the starting line yet won the race.
Rest In Peace Brother Ray 🙏🏾
He is an inspiration to every human being.
Had this at my daughter Georgia’s funeral, used to play this to her in my belly and she would kick me so gently, I’m sure she knew it was her song. Such a beautiful song, sadly never thought the lyrics would now haunt me so beautifully. ‘other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly, still In peaceful dreams i see, a road leads back to you’ will treasure this song for always 👼🏻🤍
God Bless you
Hello I happiness ❤all around you, can I please share from it?
I pray that God who loves and cares for you will bring you through the hard times lady---He will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg I am so sorry for you'r loss but she always will be in your heart
❤❤❤
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
Америка,нам же нравится ваша культура .Почему вы не считаетесь с нашей?
@@user-gi6yd7ub7c I like Russian culture ❤ 🇷🇺
Facts I had to share just to prove my point ❤
Happy Heavenly 93rd Birthday Ray Charles September 23 1930 - June 10 2004
Georgia 💙🙏💙 on my mind...love from Ohio!
He Was Definitely An Incredible Man, Blind And One Of The Talented Musician Of All Times, Also Stevie Wonder!!! ❤❤
Ray Charles would have turned 90 on September 23. 2020. That's why I've listened to almost all of his videos on CZcams and now I know why I became a jazz musician: I'm 78 years old. In the 50`s and 60`s there was a program on "Radio Luxemburg" between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in which mostly R&B with Ray Charles was played. I was totally electrified and never missed a program. I then learned the saxophone and double bass autodactically and later played with many well-known jazz musicians in Germany and Europe, so I can look back on a very fulfilled life with countless and unique experiences.
Thank you Ray,
You were my mentor and
"BLACK LIVES BETTER"
Long life with good health and happiness for you 🙂🤲💪❤
Woke up to Georgia going blue... needed to hear some sweet Ray this Am.
Yep
Tomorrow and days following until the ballots are all counted is going to be extra intense.
Georgia will always in my our mind
Muchos Gracias Maestro Mr. Charles, Ray.

The evolution of his voice and his piano skills never stopped. Like that little weep in his voice adds so much texture.

Ray Charles passed away in Beverly Hills, California but when you listen to this you know that Georgia got her son back
That really hit me.
Ray Charles was from Jacksonville, Fl.
George Neidorf he was born in Albany Georgia
@@yeezus3960. You're correct, thanks.
Very well said.
Georgia especially on my mind today--after their magnificent turnout for the runoff. Love you, Georgia!
Hello dear how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day today ?
Still, to this day and every time, cannot watch this without a few tears falling. Such a masterpiece
Agreed! this man comes once in a lifetime
Steve Fiorey .same here it's just so beautiful every time I listen tears amazing 👏 ❤
Did that to me to. Dunno why
Shit makes me emotional he was crying 😭 out for Georgia
Es y será un genio!!una maravilla!!!!
My father's home state just went Blue for the first time since the 80's
Forever tied to you through my blood...... Thankful for you this morning. I love you, Georgia
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It went blue in the 90s. It was blue statewide till 2000s.
@@selfishcapitalist3523 as somebody who has lived and traveled through many parts of Georgia my whole life, I can say that Georgia is a purple state for sure. Atlanta and some of the other urban areas are very progressive, but the rural areas are FUCKED. literally less than a month ago I was riding through southern-ish macon and saw a huge confederate flag hung from a ~50 foot flag pole. the building that was flying it was a business that damn near looked abandoned it was in such bad shape, much like any house that waves that flag.
but Atlanta is a bastion of progress in the swamp that is the deep south, and the sheer amount of people concentrated in the Atlanta area is enough to cancel out the cracker-ass rural areas
Georgia on EVERYONES mind today... Keep the hope ❤️✊
Hello Rosa how are you doing
Hello pretty lady how are you doing today?)
special is not what he does, but how he does...
Hello beautiful how was your day 😙
Yes, Ray, Georgia is on my mind. Rev. Warnock and Stacey Abrams will be getting a donation from me today. RIP.
Brother Ray, giving us that melody
Love all his songs, one of my favorite songs, he's a true genius
What do you admire most about Ray Charles?
Georgia on my mind, your mind, the national mind and the world's mind this election 2020. Ray Charles sure could see into the future that this day would come. We give thanks for his prophetic song.
You make me proud to be an American...
get the vote out for the senate run off
Greetings from Switzerland
Yes
Yeah. His singing of this song had NOTHING to do with any election ever. It's a song.
Who’s here right now? Georgia just turned blue 2020
We remember this song for all Georgia Republicans from time immemorial.. Georgia is a brave Red state
Get the vote out for the senate run off and turn the senate BLUE!

Hello Lisa, I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
Ray Charles the great, also Jamie did a phenomenal job playing his role in the movie.
That moment when
, black actor got an Oscar not because he is black... Sorry 4 my english.
With respect to all races.
YES
He can play any role.
Great that the did the film so people got to know more about him
He sure did...fantastic movie!
Love that song and love him. As a student at Ole Miss in 1967, I was fortunate to see him in concert at the Ole Miss Coliseum. Long time ago, but I remember how great he was to this day!
I was also an Ole Miss Rebel in the 1960's and I saw Ray in New Orleans as he was always one of my favorite musicians. He always sang from his heart and soul, and we will always have a part of, and memory of ray, through his special life and his everlasting gift to humanity through his music.

This song holds a special place in my heart, as it brings back memories of Sunday mornings spent with my family, who are currently far away from me. I miss them terribly.
Hello how are you
Back because Georgia can change everything. Again. ❤️Thank you guys !!! Blessings .
On election night I was playing this song over and over as if it was my mantra. Now I find myself back here. Georgia's on my mind.
Watching this on runoff day. Flip the senate! Flip it and reverse it :) Blue wave! Go Atlanta! 💙
Man this song really hits me, I remember when I used to drive over the road as a trucker. I've always smile looking at the welcoming sign entering Georgia.
Savannah,Ga here!!!
and the sound of the largest GMRS repeater network lighting up my scanner radio like crazy.
Here in 2024 listening to my all time favorite.....
Im from Georgia, but not state of America. She’s small country and that is one of the best song about Georgia by ray
Georgia Just flipped blue!!
GEORGIA JUST FLIPPED. THIS IS FOR YOU BROTHER LEWIS! THIS IS FOR YOU STACEY ABRAMS!

One of the greatest artists of all time man. He always found the keys. RIP Ray. He's playing music in heaven now and serenading souls with that legendary jazz and soul music.
I just searched ray and this came up. And I was here at this festival and saw this. Was amazing.

Didn't know he could make this song even better. What a true legend in music.
Ya
Thinking about you tonight Georgia. Please save us Georgia..!
This tune brings back a special memory and played a part in my deciding not to reenlist in the Navy. I was due to be discharged in less than a month and had just returned to the staging area after a week or so of long range recon. Someone had tuned the radio to Armed Forces radio and I heard the DJ say "This is for you Georgia boys" and I then heard Georgia On My Mind for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes and gave me a case of homesickness I couldn't shake.
This song played on the radio when my cousins SSGT. Jude R. Jonaus body was returned to us from Iraqi freedom. He was stationed out in GA. Glad you did not reenlist
I Love this song, it has a special place in my heart❤. Can I ask you a question please?@Earl Towery

Hello can I ask you a question?
Hello margarita, I see happiness all around you, can I please share it?
It's not just a song about Georgia. It's really about having left your home location, but acknowledging the pull and memories of your home town/country/state etc.
Thank you brothers and sisters of Georgia, from the bottom of my heart. Yet, the work is not done. YOU MUST WIN BOTH SENATE RACES COME JANUARY AND TRANSFORM THE WORLD!!!

Hello how are you doing today 😇
I've been to Georgia once and let me tell you, this song brings me back there every time I hear it. Great song!
Great song great soul
How are you doing?
I visited Atlanta Georgia in 1984 and I was told that it was not a great idea for me to visit stone mountain, at that time without a tour group, I learned a very valuable lesson about what could happen to me as a young woman of color? I then understood why this song has such significance for people of color!
My dad was born in a hick town near Savanah .

Richard Marshall Bowman we get it you watched the movie
@American Paisa Thanos, 2018.
The rule of law belongs to a Satanic System because it comes under the guise of real law the law belongs and comes from the most high, Elohiym the first and last remember the world was handed over unto the wicked because of our ancestor's contrary walk against our Father Yahuah it's written Deuteronomy 28. Look up 5$ Indians.
There is none above the most high and no balance in between!!!!! See czcams.com/video/Cv8TcHHLngo/video.html
