"'What'd I Say' is the perfect song. It had the greatest opening riff ever" - Paul McCartney, who knows a thing or three about great riffs! In fact, I think he used that riff to write 'I'm Down' :)
So we got 20 minutes left to play and no more tracks on the list? Hold my beer while I'll create a new masterpiece right here - right now.
- the one and only Ray Charles
I remember listening to this song in 1959. It was one of Ray's first hits. I was later to meet the man and as a young musician, I got to share the same stage with him. He was one of the most awesome musicians, and singers I was to meet and perform behind. He had an influence on me throughout my career as a vocalist, pianist and organist. Thank you, Ray,
you are sorely missed.
God be like: You have 4 minutes to live...choose something to do
Me: I wanna listen to ray charles what'd i say...but its 6:28 the entire song
God: Ahh shit...ill allow that
