Ray Charles vs Southern All Stars (サザンオールスターズ ) - Ellie My Love (いとしのエリー)
Rey Charles singing “Ellie My Love“. An English version of Southern All Stars’
いとしのエリー.
This video captures one of the very cool and rare events to have occurred. A famous Western musician performing an English version of a song originally written in Japanese.
For anyone that lived in Japan during the Bubble era, Ray Charles’ version of the Southern All Stars classic became an instant classic. Thank you, Suntory, for helping make it happen!
And Japan’s love of Ray Charles and his music actually gave him a tune that became part of his legacy.
Not to be lost in the shuffle, the Southern All Stars’ original song, which gave them credibility and gravitas when it came out in the late ’70s, found a new audience, shining light on the amazing group that is the Southern All Stars.
Enjoy Ray Charles singing the English version. And then listen to the Japanese version from which it came!!
Absolute awesomeness!!
