Very interesting! Paul McCartney has said that he had Ray Charles in mind when he wrote this song. Fits Ray like a glove, of course.

McCartney DID think of Ray Charles when writing this song...this is why he debated to himself if there should be orchestration or not...McCartney pushed to have the album "Get Back" and this would be one of the songs on it. But...music politics hindered McCartney's artistic vision...Allen Klein had Phil Spector add an orchestra on this track without McCartney's permission...this made McCartney say "that's it...i'm out"!

Sing King Ray Charles. Rest in Paradise 🌹🌹🌹

My favorite Beatles cover ❤️ Ray added an extra element of soul to this already magical McCartney track

What a honor to be covered by Mr Ray Charles!,

This version arrangement is very interesting with big band, bluesy touch with jazz chords progressions. The vocal presentation is very soulful. Rest in peace Ray Charles. You've left us a pool of tears.

Ray Charles is legendary, good taste in a song to cover from the greatest ever: The Beatles.

I can't believe I'm listening to a Beatles' song covered by RAY CHARLES! This is like the greatest thing. So beautiful!

Same. I never would have thought?? Beautiful.

Wow. First time I've heard this version. Damn you Ray. You made me cry.

"Doesn't matter who wrote it, when Ray gets hold of it, it ain't no more their song." Quote from Daniel M. From a KZread commentator.

Ray Charles and The Beatles, one heart!

Ray Charles is one of those men that God gave us not as a perfect man but a soulful singer to our hearts. May he rest in peace 🙏

Was there ever anyone better, his vocal stylings were brilliant. Almost brought me to tears

Next to the Beatles' original versions, Brother Ray's are my other favorites. Always did these great songs justice in his own style

One of the greatest...love his version of this song

Thank you from the bottom of my Heart. This song brings my Papa close. I just lost him in March of 2010.

Paul comments in the doc get back that ray charles was in his head when he wrote this song. So cool that Ray covered it

Very stirring! What a great voice! Ray was also handsome. Look at that pic from when he was young.

This sounds nice... love the bass!

And I think Paul got it! A brilliant song sung by a genious...

The Beatles original version is still my favorite. Because I heard it as a teenager when it was released. But George Benson version is brilliant. Also, Billy Ocean version is great too. Brother Ray has a great style of his own and adds his own unique style of magic to any song.

DAMN! THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!

Ray sings as if carrying all the pain of the world

Ray Charles, the greatest artist of all time.

I loved!

Simply splendid.

the magical Ray ...... beautiful rendition of a song that was already great. A luxurious interpretation only he could devise and perform with such warmth.

I had this album in '71. This was one of my favorites on it. I just came from listening to my other favorite song from that album a few minutes ago...Wichita Lineman. Which got me to search for this song. Thank you for posting it. Sounds a good as ever. Definitely stands the test of time.

Legal,é que o Paul criou esta musica,imaginando a voz do Ray Charles

Brilliant!

Ray the best ❤️

RAY CHARLESSS QUERIDOOOOOO!

Ray Charles covering a Beatles song that covers Ray music

Ray Charles is probably the ONLY SINGER besides the Beatles who could do justice to this song!
