Ein tolles Photo: Ray Charles smoking ...
... und ein Hinweis auf mein Lieblingslied von Jerome Kern "Just the Way You Look Tonight" - in einer sehr schönen Interpretation von Ray Charles: Live im Pariser Olympia im Jahre 2000. Die Geschichte dazu:
This concert was supposed to be a very emotional moment for Ray Charles. It was his 70th birthday, it was his first tour in this new millenium. This night, Ray Charles was supposed to play with his big band and his raelettes but due to an air traffic controllers lightning strike in Lisbon, his famous Big Band and The raelettes were stuck at the airport. So, the day of the concert, Ray arrived in Paris with a drummer, a guitar player and a bass player. They worked out a new show, set list and arrangements in the hotel room and came on stage late.

Ich mag ja auch Rod Stewarts Interpretation...
