Ray Charles at his best just blows me away. What a great version of the song.

I feel I should just mention that Charles was clean by this time (1970).

Why bother to allegorize Ray’s version of the song? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar–and scary love is just scary love. (And if there’s a need to do a biographical reading, why not start with Ray’s rather intense lovelife?)

Wow.

As someone who likes the original version and loves all things Ray Charles, this really hits that sweet spot.

Thanks for sharing!

I’ve got this on vinyl and the whole album is amazing.
