Great Song !
I consider myself very privileged to have seen and heard Mr. Charles in concert !
I find it incredible that Hip Hop or whatever it may be called today can be compared to the music of Giants like Mr. Charles and others like him .
Thanks for this, I am going to make a point of listening to some Ray Charles this very weekend .
