They called Richard "the white Ray Charles"....... RIP
I had the honor of sitting front row left at a Philadelphia concert by The Band in 1971! I can't even tell you what it was like sitting only yards from Richard Manuel and his piano! He just glowed... he had an aura that was just amazing! They played everything from their first three albums except for "All La Glory" and "Whispering Pines" haha the 2 songs I wanted most to hear them perform "live"!!! They also played "Don"t Do It" and a few other non-studio songs. RIP Richard.
What a voice and a talent with a short life. Richard you are sure missed .

"You Don't Know Me".....Ray Charles was the Master of this timeless tune he made famous backed up by the fabulous Ray Charles Singers... But Richard Manuel brings me to tears everytime I listen to his voice singing this song; Why?.....U can even hear Ray in his voice.....Richard did what Jimi Hendrix often said what beautiful music had the power to do,...reach down in and touches your very soul. A beautiful song sung by a beautiful person ❤ who left us too soon. Your soul is at peace Richard. Missing you still in 2021.

"and life is brief'
there was something in his singing that's beyond words.....his sound , the feeling....missed so much.
I just got a pair of noise cancelling headphones and this was my choice to test them, I wasn't let down in the least. Richard Manuel is one of singers that can give me chills just listening and this is him at his finest.
once you hear Richard do this, you never forget it. How you were loved and how you are missed, well you don't know. Thank you for giving this gift.
I love everything about this song as it plays out. As the one you have a crush on walks by and doesn't even know my name. But especially watching the footage of Richard Manuel passionately singing away, really hits a soft spot in my core. Listening to the other Band members playing their instruments as to say..... Richard..... It's all you! It's your time to Shine! ⭐🌟
That Man has one of the All Time greatest soulful voices I have ever listened to!!
Wow! What a performance. I've heard this a hundred times by Ray Charles -- fabulous -- but this is the first time I understood the story and heartbreak in the song. Thank you Richard.

First time you understood ??? Why
Look at his eyes and if you can't by some strange lack of empathy hear it in his voice, it's there in his eyes, how deeply he feels what he is singing.
I am turning 64 next month .. I have loved Richard and the Band since they first started .. west coast od Canada and we still knew how special they were, and still are .. best way to learn, and know, that is just to listen ... thanks brian600lyle ..
Love Neil Young,love Joni,but Richard is the best singer Canada has ever produced.And a pretty good dobro player,organ player ,guitarist,sax player,pianist,drummer in the 2nd rhythm section,and someone who generally inspires awe among musicians.
What can anyone else add to the thoughts and comments about Richard? The very best. A couple of little smokes--a couple of JD's --a couple of tears........RIP and God bless you........never to be forgotton
RIP Richard Manuel you still inspire people with your soulful voice each day x
I loved The Band and especially Richard who I thought was so underated. Listen to that amazing voice. So so very beautiful...! Sadly missed.
The Band; Robbie and four of the sweetest souls and best musicians in my collection.Richard's voice was so good it will never die; living on my headphones where it belongs.
How good is this!? Miss God's gift of your voice, Richie...
Just the raw emotion.
Richard, you were just too soulful. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Man, what a voice and what soul!
He was, and is, incredible. Thank you, Richard.
Beautiful sad. What a great musician and especially great songwriter. I'll never forget him.
To this day,I still miss Richard Manual. RIP!

Any performance by Richard or Levon or Rick is a time capsule never to be repeated on this earth. To run them down is a view into a narrow mind that does not see the brilliance that was bestowed upon us for so brief a time.
This song, with Richard pouring his heart out, makes my heart break.

Brilliant. Jimi Hendrix said, "Music can reach in and touch your very soul"....not every singer can do that.....but Richard did just that. He makes me want to cry, i don't know why.

Widely acknowledged as the Band’s (one of the great vocal groups) principal singer...comparisons are unnecessary & irrelevant. The use of the word “underrated” in public forums is in fact “criminally” overrated !

after,this! he said thank you very mach, also i love him very mach!
Talk about pouring your heart out in a song ...
When I saw the band perform at Stratford, Ontario just a few months before Richard Manuel died, I didn't have half the appreciation for their depth and versatility that I later gained. I don't remember if he performed this song or not, can you believe it. But "I Shall Be Released" was transcendent.
no words but amazing!!!
God knows how I loved these guys- I was 19 or 20 when the Band made it clear what greatness was upon us.........Richard's voice was truly somethin' else R.I.P fellas & Thank you!
Incredible voice. Heartbreaking really...
It is very sad that so many singers have problems with alcohol and drugs that ruin their lives. They do not understand how much joy they bring to their audience.
