How much would you pay to be in the nightclub in Ray where Mr. Charles was jamming on this and everybody was getting their groove on?

You can bet he did. Brother Ray didn't work cheap. |

Oh, just got it, Joe Cocker!!!!!!!
Actually, it was the late John Belushi who did both Charles and Cocker parodies on SNL. RIP. |

I like this bouncy version but it just reminds me how long its been since i heard the Cocker version all full of drunken remorse as it is.

So simple, and yet you had to be a genius like Mr. Charles to come up with that. 9 ahh, who's that guy that sings only covers, ummm, ooh I forget, James Belushi did a parody of him right next to him on Saturday Night Live —— anyway he did a great cover of this - in slower motion.

I think I'm going to have to start listening to Lionel Richie before someone makes a movie about HIM!
Lol. I think you're pretty safe in giving Lionel a wide berth. Pass. Seriously. |

Can there really be 4 people in the world who are foolish/tone deaf/ignorant enough to give this song a "1" rating? I think the same idiot voted 4 times. That almost makes sense. Nahh...  |

If you lost the fatally irritating background vocals, this would be better. A little.

Pronunciation: -"lIk
Function: adjective
: resembling or having the qualities of God or a god : DIVINE
1 a) similar in nature or likeness to Ray Charles

There are a lot of artists that you hear about over and over and being a young'un (26) I don't take the time to investigate - and then the artist dies or a movie comes out and I pick my head up and listen and kick myself for not doing so earlier. This applies to Ray, Johnny Cash, Sublime etc...

WOW!
Lots of things are called classics- few are. This is.
Even more enjoyable after seeing RAY and knowing a bit about how it came about.
You are missed, Ray.
