Now, I just love it unashamedly. Ray Charles rocks.  Miss you so much, Cynaera...just the rhythm of the piano here makes this song absolutely awesome, as well as the lyrics and the rest of the music... |

Must have been because the Packers won only 6 games in '90 and followed that up with 4 wins in '91. If Ray would have played there in '92 when Holmgren & Favre got there and GB started their great 90's run, the crowd would have been more upbeat. It wasn't Ray's fault...Just a theory. |

The Beatles' Boys sounds so similar to this it's almost creepy. And I hate Boys.
This, I like very much. Here, take a 9.

Edit: ty for the link TwinEngine. I do appreciate the mark it has had on music, but I just don't think how it is played on RP is the same as how it was intended. Ray's vocals are very far in the background. I can't imagine there is a problem with my certain feed, but his vocal track is not balanced with the rest of the tracks? A.K.A. I have to strain to hear him, where the rest of it all pipes thru very well...any comments?
It's an old-time stereo recording where they put the vocals almost entirely in one channel and some other instruments in the other, rather than mixing it more down the middle. What this means is you're only hearing one channel of the stereo recording. |

That's one clever (almost magical) algorithm you've got on the PSD button Bill!
Just what I was in the mood to hear...and I didn't know it.
