For me, hands down Willie Nelson. I just happen to love his version of this song.

They are so close but if I had to pick I'd say Ray Charles.

Ray all day. Especially given its history and meaning in his life.

It will always be Ray Charles' version for me. I watch reruns of Designing Women on Antenna TV, and some of the seasons open with Ray Charles singing it as the women gather around the piano.

Both, no way to choose between them and that is rare in itself.
