There is so much emotional complexity in Ray’s delivery. My vote for the greatest reading of a patriotic tune ever recorded.

I can't hera the name Ray Charles and I laugh remembering Flip Wilson's "Chris Gonna Find Ray Charles" routine. Here's a clip of him doing Geraldine with Ray.

But back to the music. No one could do it like Ray. Great rendition.

I guess I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to these things.
