March 24th: On This Day ????

In 1985, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson hit #1 on the US country chart with the powerful duet “Seven Spanish Angels.” Written by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser, the song became the most successful of Ray Charles’ eight entries on the country charts.

Blending Ray Charles’ soulful gospel roots with Willie Nelson’s unmistakable country style, the song tells a haunting story of love, sacrifice, and fate in the Old West. Its emotional depth and storytelling struck a chord with listeners, helping it remain one of the most memorable collaborations in country music history.

“Seven Spanish Angels” also showcased Ray Charles’ incredible versatility — proving once again that great music knows no boundaries between genres.

Decades later, the song still resonates, standing as a timeless reminder of the magic that happens when two legends come together.
