    I read somewhere that this is a tune he made up on the spot at one of his concerts. Maybe it was this one!!! Really amazing soul. . .

      That's true, I watched one of his interviews and he said he made the song up on the spot and then put it on wax.

    If those of you that have not seen the movie "RAY", urge strongly to see it for the illustration of the genius, and the inner strength of character of the man!!
    Like us all he had a couple of flaws that were excusable.

    One of the better efforts (recordings) of the one and the only, the great Mr. Ray Charles. Only thing missing would be a forte string (violin, chello) section, a mello (legato) horn (oboe, french horn, Bassoon) section, a Harpsichord/Glockenspiel/triangle section, and a musically gifted audio mixing crew that could grant Mr. Charles the musical justice that Mr. Charles so rightfully deserves. I can already imagine hearing it in my head, knocking the Boléro by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) down a notch, and screaming "VICTORY".

    Wroth crediting that this was shot at Dublin's iconic Gaiety Theatre. Ray Charles was in Dublin for a month shooting at the Gaiety with an audience of 300 dubliners as extras provided by Irish Equity. They also filmed at Ardmore Studios. Biggest challenge for Charles was a lack of recreational materials, shall we say. That really wouldn't be a problem nowadays.

    Well, that pretty much goes for much of Hollywood then and now. Best part is when they can kick it. He told B.B. King a few months before he died, "if I knew we were going to live this long, we should have taken better care of ourselves." Course, he lived to be 73, that wasn't too bad. . .
