Ray Charles and The Grateful Dead

I never thought I’d hear the Grateful Dead while listening to Ray Charles, but Ray has a song called “Feel So Bad” which appears on the 2006 remix, Ray Sings, Basie Swings, that sounds hauntingly like “Turn on Your Love Light”, especially the old version that Pigpen used to sing. The chord progression is nearly identical as well as the freestyle vocals in the middle of the song. It’s close enough to have a freaky déjà vu affect. It’s nice to hear the threads of influence across artists and even genres. Ray Charles is great and his influence is broad.
