Rest in Peace, Ray Charles. I know some people like only the traditional performances of ATB, but IMHO Ray’s funky soulful version is one of the best.

God bless our troops.

Agreed. Even aside from that performance, Ray Charles spread a lot of love. That’s a good resume to take to the pearly gates.

I really liked this version of ATB ever since Mark Levin plays this every Friday. The late great Ray Charles REALLY KNEW how to present a song that is so beloved.

Seeing Ray Charles singing this song live was on my bucket list. My 11 year old daughter was with me. I told her how special this was and to always remember it. She is 32 now and recently told me she remembers and still knows it was special.
