Ray Charles Robinson singing a Leon Russell song in 1999, in Frankfurt Germany. He was about 70 years old then. He hadn’t lost anything off his fastball.
There’s a convergence of material and audience and performer on display that’s pretty rare. You can hear a pin drop while he’s singing. You couldn’t hear a plane land when he’s finished.

Wow. Thanks for posting this. I love the smiles on the band from time to time.
So what ya got is Charles Robinson singing a song by Hank Wilson.
(I’m feeling nit-picky today.)
It’s still good, tho…
