I had the great privledge of being the PR guy at NJ's Latin Casino when I was but 20 (in the late 60's). I met and worked with all the greats of the time, from Sinatra (whom I met though he never played the Latin). to everybody else.
The best "act" by far, was Ray and his entire entouarge - the big band, the Raelettes, etc.
I made sure I saw both his performances every night. He sometimes played twqo weeks and once, a month. Incredible every time.
My daughter says my tombstone will say "He got to hear Ray every night, twice a night, for a month (and James Brown, too)."
I'd be good with that. He was the best of the best.
What a great time and place to be in your twenties.

My friends at the shop told me that Ray Charles was an incredibly nice guy and had a wicked sense of humor, to boot.
Unless you were late to practice...
Love the story.

Though the music has a kind of slow rolling boogie sound, I'm trying to think of how many songs rocked this hard prior to its release (and I'm emphasizing the word rock in the sense of full power release). Not Elvis, maybe Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard, and though he's closer to the rock and roll sound, probably not Chuck Berry. I'm probably missing a lot. What do you think?
I think you are waaaayyyy off. No rockin' before 1961? Preposterous!

Me and my best friend were 14 years old when the Blues Brothers movie came out. Result: we would put on black suits and black ties from our dads and go out dressed like that in the small village in Switzerland where I lived back then. And we spent all our pocket money on Ray Charles LPs. And on cigarettes...

To give him and his band some privacy while they were checking out new instruments, the shop would close for a few hours when they came by.
Of course, all the staff would want to be there at the time, and the owner would let them, with a caution to the new staff to "be cool" and not bug or fawn over the guys. And then, as a special treat, he'd ask for a volunteer from among the newer staff to demo whatever new keyboard they had at the time for Ray.
The lucky guy would be introduced to Ray, who would have a seat at the keyboard and politely nod and say "Mm-hmm" and "Yeah" while this guy explained the keyboard's main functions and where they were.
And when this guy finished his description of the features, Ray would move his head as if he were looking it over, and then fix his gaze at a corner of the controls, point his finger and say, "What about that orange button there, what's that do?"
Of course, Ray and the owner had worked this out beforehand ("point to an orange button right over the F above low C"), but the look on the employee's face must have been priceless as he tried to "be cool" in front of Ray Charles and his entourage while thinking he had just learned that Ray could actually see!
My friends at the shop told me that Ray Charles was an incredibly nice guy and had a wicked sense of humor, to boot.

What do I think? That 176 BPM is hardly slow-rolling, but maybe I am showing my age. Kids these days...

10
Milt Turner - he variously described it as a "faux rhumba" and a conga rhythm. It's one-of-a-kind, that's for sure.
This 10 track really gets me playing some "desktop air piano" at work. And while my piano playing days are behind me, I still think I could figure out the left hand pretty quickly. This guy was sooo good!
She can do the Birdland all night long...
Right on!
YES!
Awwwwwww yeahhhhhhh!

Stars aligned, and the match was made in Heaven.
Although initial response was mixed and some stations banned it Atlantic persevered on pushing the record. Eventually it became a big hit, Billboard #1 on R&B and #6 on Hot 100. Atlantic was a very cool label and the partnership between the management and Ray Charles created some very great music.
I feel all right.

Raw talent that didn't need American Idol to become "famous."
Yes, in many ways American Idol is the worst thing to happen to popular music since mandatory playlists for radio stations in the late 1970s. It's done even more damage than MTV did.
After Gilda and Laraine Newman depart, Ludwig takes a couple of snorts of coke, and then slips on some sunglasses. He proceeds to do a great Ray C. impersonation of this song. IT KILLED!
![{#Bananapiano} {#Bananapiano}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/bananapiano.gif)
Yeah that would be it
Raw talent that didn't need American Idol to become "famous."
Nobody needs American Idol
ps he would have been bombed straight off at the first auditions.
Edit two minutes later: 'Lyrics' button says its an instrumental² chuckle, chuckle, chuckle ....

just the rhythm of the piano here makes this song absolutely awesome, as well as the lyrics and the rest of the music...
He was awesome but the crowd was very white, conservative and uptight.
WE had a great time, regardless.
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.
Same here. Listening to Ray ABBA. I took the chance. ;-)
So that makes it at least the three of us. Very unusual. A glitch in metadata or programming?
