Ray Charles - On Your Toes Lyrics
See the pretty apple, top of the tree,
The higher up, the sweeter it grows.
Picking fruit you've got to be
Up on your toes!
See the pretty penthouse, top of the roof,
Get that dough, don't be a goof;
Up on your toes!
They climb the clouds
To come through with airmail.
The dancing crowds
Look up to some rare male
Like that Astaire male.
See the pretty lady, top of the crop.
You want to know the way the wind blows?
Then, my boy, you'd better hop
Up on your toes!
Remember the youth 'mid snow and ice
Who bore the banner with the strange device:
"Excelsior!"
This motto applies to folks who dwell in
Richmond Hill or New Rochelle, in Chelsea or
In Sutton Place.
You've got to reach the heights to win the race.

Ray Charles On Your Toes Comments
Iconic classic movie R.I.P John Belushi and Ray Charles y'all legacy's will live on forever kings 👑❤😎🎹🔥🎶🕺💃💯🙌
I'm here cause I love good music no matter how old it is
That little girl at 2:04 is just adorable! I love the racial mix of this and our most Awesome Ray Charles. Brothers and sisters come together as Americans. Color be damned! I love the color of my skin and you do too! But we are Americans! My family is like a box of crayons. I think all we need is an Oriental and we'll have the whole set ha ha .May God bless us all brothers and sisters DDDave
Were the 70s like this?
Only the movies...
Were there brightly colored pants?
@Bryant Mejia Yeah, those they had.
Good music is a thing of the past.
😎😎😎
40 years on and this classic still makes you get up and dance - how can 2200 people vote this down what is wrong with them.
Where did Thriller's dance steps come from? This.
Joey Diaz brot me here
الزمان الجميل انا الان عمري خمسين اذكر اول مره شفت الفلم

Grande mestre Ray Charles, fazia qualquer piano falar a língua dos anjos, você faz muita falta grande guerreiro.
I'm fighting for my rights to smoke weed as well
We got legalization and recreational weed in public
Dumbest movie ever made.
Shut up, clown.
I think its good.
Perfect. 💓
This was filmed in October '79 at a quiet low temperature (outside)! FYI
Universel ….! 2020 .
I don't know what to say... this whole movie is full of classics... i wouldn't be surprised if i go somewhere where they're watching this movie and i see people dancing... it's just excellent 👍👍👍
I love this movie
Blues Brothers sollten noch ihre Fpö Geschäfte mit Filipov bereinigen
Still listening in 2020 -- this song never gets old!!

Un film époustouflant par sa music
Les acteurs
Impossible de faire mieux
La plus grande aventure musical
👍👍👍👍🇫🇷
I love the Blues Brothers
This is the very first movie I saw on a VCR! W O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite childhood film
Excuse me! I might be blind, but you're still standing in my way, guy.
Bruh when there was actual joy and happiness doing dances while now people who do them just laugh for its "memeness"
Some of the greatest songs by some of the greatest musicians and some of the funniest scenes by two of the funniest men ever. Such a great movie to watch.
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi doing their own dance stunts
God our Music was SOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!
The BEST EVER! MERCI BEAUCOUP from Paris France
Shame to think that most of these people will pass within my lifetime
From my point of view it was like a movement during its early-mid stage of soul, blues and jazz( the good one) which were revolutionary. People like Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis came up with the new outlandish skills and signing at a point where people listened to the same type of music which I believe it was Country for decades or opera like. Now in the 2000's I guess we have reached a point where people don't create any new genres that don't involve electronics.
Scorpion [C]os] I belive we have reached a point where intended originality reaches lawsuit for breaching copyright laws. There are only so many notes. I agree that it would be nice to hear something without synthesised sounds for a change but music has evolved so much that it would probably be more expensive to try make music without a pc than with it
@joseph skillen That too.
Rubbish song
Never got all this mass music stuff.

Ce film est une pépite avec des grands de la musique, et le nombre de cascade le meilleur film peut être.
I love the old white haired guy dancing in the street. XD
I was the Lead Singer/Frontman for the TRUE BLUES BAND in OKC FOR YEARS.only white dude in the band. Let me educate you.Famous Jamous,our drummer always said Revvin'Kevin (me) wasn't white his mom's from N'Awlins! How right he was.!😎🎶🎹🗽⭐🍺
Still my favorite movie
Epic Blues Brothers are Epic
You can be sure your piano's gonna have lots of action left in it if Ray sells it to ya. :D
Loves the blues brothers
I love this movie, but I like this part the best.
So much talent in those movies.
proper men
This is a so Happy and Feel Good song 😁 My favorite movie of all Times 👍
I was just at that locatipn today working nearby, the mural is very faded but everything looks pretty much the same
God I wished john Belushi lived longer and made a movie with Chris Farley
Shake your tail-mlp eg song 1:08
How is this not a broadway musical yet ?!?!!
Film impossible to redo today, with all those talks about rights and majors company who want to keep the image of their stars under absolute control.
That bass is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
The Blues Brothers.iprayed so hard that the two boys obeyed the ten commandments came as two theifes with failthty mouths and bad attitudes.don't come back until you redeems yourselves.boys that no way to talk to a nun.
Haaa se l italia avesse queste musiche mica sfera e basta
Whoops, almost forgot to watch this today
I defy you to not dance when you watch this. It is not possible.
I don't care how old you are, you need to see this movie or else you wont ever get a mission from God
Landis is a genius!
You can practically feel the energy coming off of this song
I love seeing songs where everyone is contributing to the energy of a song. Nowadays when you see a music video, most of the focus is on the singer.
твист? шейк...
it's always nice to see these films also because they are cheerful and carefree and the music is very beautiful
