I Can't Stop Loving You by Ray Charles | Reviewer: Art ------ About the song I Can't Stop Loving You performed by Ray Charles This song makes me think of someone I badly miss, though I never even knew him or lived his time period (yes, I'm a girl)...I actually start crying when I realize that he's never going to appear again on earth, so all I can do is dwell on amazing acting skills and how much a good person he was.

I could never remember 'in a calm objective opinion', but after was easy 'cause Kansas fit into the song perfectly. I'm in college now &, after 14yrs since I learned this great song, I still remember it! My choir teacher would be so proud, even just to know I still sing- though I'm not sure on the state, since I moved to Oregon. Kansas' still my favorite by a long shot lol awesome | Reviewer: Locita ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles this is an amazing song...i learned it like 4th or 5th grade and i still know it word for word and i graduated high school a year ago and am in college i cant believe i remember it...its an great way to show your patriotism for your country also its a catchy fun sing along..... how many ststes in the u.s.a ? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles I loved to sing this song in third grade. Everyone in my class had to learn it for flag day. I could not believe that I would ever learn and memorize this song. Some times I would just lip sing but finally I got it. Now it helps me in social studies. If my teacher says: "quick how many states are there in the u.s.a?" I would say "50 of course." So helpful | Reviewer: (: ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles I remember back in fifth grade we had to sing this. I did memorize it but after a year or so - I'm going into eight grade - I forgot the order past Montana and I'm trying to remember it again. This is a great song, though. I learned this song in 3rd grade....... | Reviewer: lili ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles Well in 3rd grade we had to learn this song! It was so hard at first but we got the hang of it. Also we had to hold up the signs to make it easier. But that made it way easier to learn it was really fun. My teacher was the nicest to learn at. chorus | Reviewer: Mags ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles I love this song because I have to sing it in chorus. I'm trying out for the solo and I'm not that nervous because I already got a solo for a different song this year. The solo part is... in a calm objective opinion Rhode Island is the best of the...I have to sing in front of my whole chorus to try out! It may not seem big but we have 110 kids in our chorus! Its a Leon Russell Written song | Reviewer: Soul Nutts ------ About the song A Song For You performed by Ray Charles I admit Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway give this song its haunting potency...but who deserves more credit? The guy that wrote the lyrics or the one that sang it? i dont know, i couldnt say, but you have to admit that song writing, like poetry in the 20th century had become a self-indulgent activity, and chances are that, while beautifully sang and in ways- convinient to those that sang it and their life situations, the most true reality of the circumstance was felt by the one that first penned it...thats significant. Russell was a musical heavy wieght himself, and i guess he deserves as much credit as Ray and Donny. I have to learn this song... | Reviewer: Someone ------ About the song Fifty Nifty United States performed by Ray Charles This song is a great song. As the 4th grader Im in 5th grade and I have to learn this song for chorus, but I think its a really cool song and i'll be able to learn all the states in a nice song which is really really cool I cant wait till my school concert and the rest of the chorus and I being able to sing all of the states in front of the whole school. So itll be real cool.
