From the DVD "Willie Nelson and Friends - Live & Kickin", it was Willie Nelson's 70th birthday party at New York City's famed Beacon Theatre on April 9, 2003. Leon and Willie take a verse, of this Leon Russell original, and let Ray finish it up, as only Ray (one-take) could. He died not long after this. Thanks Ray.

  • I heard about this ...

    I heard about this video on You Tube, and finally had time to check it out.

    Let me just say, OMG.... This song gave me the biggest lump in my throat and my eyes got all watery. Ray Charles died a few months after this was done. I think Willie might have known that Ray was sick and dying, that's why he tears up in the song. Everybody probably teared up in the audience. Ray Charles can do that to anyone. He is truely a genius and greatly missed.

  • It's early on a ...

    It's early on a Saturday morning, still dark outside. My husband is away on business and I woke up thinking about this song for some reason. I starting checking YouTube for performances. I just stumbled on this one, and it has me in tears, as it always does when I hear Ray sing it. Russell wrote a little masterpiece, & Ray brought his genius to it. My favorite phrase starts "I love you in a place where there's no space or time...."

    Thank you for posting this, it made my day!
