Ray is playing a Wurlitzer 200A 64-Key Electric Piano aka Stage Piano. I had one back in the day. He did not trust the tuning to be correct on the vintage uprights available at most road house bar gigs. He was a true genius on any keyboard.

The best "act" by far, was Ray and his entire entouarge - the big band, the Raelettes, etc.
I made sure I saw both his performances every night. He sometimes played twqo weeks and once, a month. Incredible every time.
My daughter says my tombstone will say "He got to hear Ray every night, twice a night, for a month (and James Brown, too)."

I had some friends who used to work at a well-known instrument shop outside of Washington, DC. Ray Charles knew the owner and some of the long-time staff, and would often stop by when touring.

To give him and his band some privacy while they were checking out new instruments, the shop would close for a few hours when they came by.

Of course, all the staff would want to be there at the time, and the owner would let them, with a caution to the new staff to "be cool" and not bug or fawn over the guys. And then, as a special treat, he'd ask for a volunteer from among the newer staff to demo whatever new keyboard they had at the time for Ray.

The lucky guy would be introduced to Ray, who would have a seat at the keyboard and politely nod and say "Mm-hmm" and "Yeah" while this guy explained the keyboard's main functions and where they were.

And when this guy finished his description of the features, Ray would move his head as if he were looking it over, and then fix his gaze at a corner of the controls, point his finger and say, "What about that orange button there, what's that do?"

Of course, Ray and the owner had worked this out beforehand ("point to an orange button right over the F above low C"), but the look on the employee's face must have been priceless as he tried to "be cool" in front of Ray Charles and his entourage while thinking he had just learned that Ray could actually see!

My friends at the shop told me that Ray Charles was an incredibly nice guy and had a wicked sense of humor, to boot.

What do I think?  That 176 BPM is hardly slow-rolling, but maybe I am showing my age. Kids these days...

Although initial response was mixed and some stations banned it Atlantic persevered on pushing the record. Eventually it became a big hit, Billboard #1 on R&B and #6 on Hot 100. Atlantic was a very cool label and the partnership between the management and Ray Charles created some very great music.

In Robert Gordon's "Respect Yourself," his history of Stax Records, Jim Stewart (the ST in STax—Estelle AXton was the other), attributes his "R&B awakening" to hearing this song on WDIA in Memphis. He was a country fiddler and had never heard anything like it.

Yes, in many ways American Idol is the worst thing to happen to popular music since mandatory playlists for radio stations in the late 1970s.  It's done even more damage than MTV did.

Years ago (ALMOST 40!), there was a classic SNL bit where John Belushi was doing a bit as Beethoven on the piano.  Gilda Radner (as Mrs. B.) is of course screaming at him, because Ludwig can't hear a damn thing.

After Gilda and Laraine Newman depart, Ludwig takes a couple of snorts of coke, and then slips on some sunglasses.  He proceeds to do a great Ray C. impersonation of this song.  IT KILLED!

I actually saw Ray Charles at a concert at a high school auditorium in Neenah, Wisconsin around 1990(?) or so.
He was awesome but the crowd was very white, conservative and uptight.
WE had a great time, regardless.

 
Must have been because the Packers won only 6 games in '90 and followed that up with 4 wins in '91.  If Ray would have played there in '92 when Holmgren & Favre got there and GB started their great 90's run, the crowd would have been more upbeat.  It wasn't Ray's fault...Just a theory.
