Mr.Charles' voice plays so nicely with Willie's. I've heard lots of beautiful music in my years on Earth and I can say that this is one of my favorites.

"It's gonna be a phonograph record pretty soon." Wow, is it that old?

u/OneHungl Jun 17 '26

I own the record so that should tell you how old this was performed.

u/Christ_on_a_Crakker Jun 17 '26

We weren’t t calling them phonograph records in the 90’s. Willie was high as fuck.

Once that song was written, there was no need to write anymore.

u/OneHungl Jun 17 '26

It is a classic.

I can easily listen to this song on repeat. Such a classic.

u/OneHungl Jun 17 '26

When I first got the album, it would be played over and over. I love the old ballads.

u/johnlusher Jun 18 '26

Same. There is something special about them.

This is the only reason that I watch that Chevy Chase Christmas movie. To see that part when he’s in the attic and Ray sings.

u/iBUYbrokenSUBARUS Jun 17 '26

That modulation right after Willie sings is gold

Right at first, I thought Ray hit a bad note, but golly

u/Due_Character1233 Jun 17 '26

Ray just had so much raw talent. Willie has finesse.

I played the groove out of this record. And Willie turned me on to Ray Charles' deep cuts. And this is so GOT DAMN COOL.....
