I woke this morning with this rather nice song running through my mind, since I neglected to add a Ray Charles song yet and I like this song a lot I am picking it.
This Don Gibson composition has been covered a countless amount of times, but really whenever I think of this song it is always the Ray Charles version that comes to mind; he all but made it his own in my opinion. I love it when artists make songs that mix different and sometimes contrasting musical styles and schools of thought; you usually end up with something completely brand new and beautiful. In this one Ray Charles incorporated Country and Western into his own style to make this legendary song.
Here is a classic television performance of the song.
Here is nice live performance.
My song pick a year ago today: #426 J.S. Bach - BWV 659 - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland
My song pick two years ago today: #58 Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun
