Ray Charles Explaining Why He Wasn't Impressed With Elvis Presley.

When black folks start off with this, just know, we don't agree lol

Feeling like this is the perfect anthem for Autumn! 🥰 Nat King Cole songs always hit the mark - I love singing them! WDYT? Should I do the whole thing? #autumnleaves #NatKingCole #FallVibes #JazzClassics #coversong #music #Singing #SmoothJazz

It's nothing new. Not to mention, there was a lot of music during that time that was being stolen from black folks and given to white men but carry-on😒. He just couldn't word it like that.

Basically a vanilla ice of his time smh

But, who is still The King? Here's a hint. It ain't Ray Charles.

These AI subtitles are killing me

Ray is the best!

@Normanjam67 I remember a commentary article in Jet or Ebony about black singers' responses to the Beatles so probably 1964 or thereabouts; there was a lot of long-winded humming and hawing, but at the foot of a column Ben E King commented, 'To each his own'. No messing there!

So Elvis was the Eminem/ Vanilla Ice of his era. Able to do black music with a face white would be comfortable with. It’s the same thing with Drake, white people flock to white people.

Straight up facts.
