Ray Charles and “Oh, Happy Day”

New York City is literally flooded today and people are having a miserable time and all is gloomy and I found this on At Sunnyside and just had to post it to cheer folks up a bit and give us a blessing of joy.

I’m so sorry you are flooded and miserable…but I love Ray Charles and you cheered me up immediately. Hope he did the same thing for you and it lasts all night long. Thank you so much. Hope the flooding goes away soon.

Thanks for the song of happiness, Ellen. In my 13 years living in Manhattan, I never experienced this phenomenon of extreme weather you now deal with. Hope you are staying dry on high ground.

  Yes, we are okay, thanks, and by now it must have cooled off there, I hope.

    A little cooler, with a breeze to mask the heat.

Floods happen. Misery is part of life. But to be able to sing with such power and promise is a gift we all can use every day. Thanks for this, El. Beauty is always there if we just look for it.
