As mentioned here before, most black folks wanted nothing to do with country music, especially in the 60's. Ray Charles embraced the genre by putting his own soulful spin on the twangiest country songs possible, like this Buck Owens tune. It was just one of many musical styles that influenced Ray, and we all were better off for that.

Gives me an excuse to pull out the Buck Owens version. There really isn't much difference between the black man's blues and country music, only in how it's presented. Best. Steel. Guitar. Ever. https://youtu.be/cYKVb7T1n2I
