I think this was the first song I heard on my transister radio; listening up in the attic 'cause Daddy did not allow Rock music in the house.
i love this song
For those that want to know secret of the passion behind these lyrics...
Ray was having a affair with one of the backup singers/ friend, and broke her heart, the secret was ANGER...
Dude and dudettes ;) this is my favorite song!!! Xlol ;)
Wasn't he blind......t h e y female vocalists are amazing...so o o o much passion behind they're lyrics

MY FAVORITE SONG EVER!!!!! I LOVE RAY CHARLES!!!!
HEAR THAT SACHO
get on
Great tune!
I said this to my ex on the day our divorce was final :D
Did he write it?
love this song!
One of the greatest R&B classics in history. It's a shame that Ray, who was unbelieveabl y tallented, spent so much time exploring jazz and country sounds in the later part of the sixties...th i s is the genre where he shines the brightest.
