Ray & Willie’s Sad & Timeless Tale
One of the most powerful songs in all of country music history is “Seven Spanish Angels,” made famous as a duet between Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. The song tells the sad tale of an outlaw and his lover who meet a heartbreaking fate after being pursued by a bunch of lawmen.
It was a tale that country fans found themselves listening to over and over again, and it topped the charts in both the U.S. and Canada as a result.
Over three decades since “Seven Spanish Angels” was released, artists continue to bring its sad story to life. New covers of the song emerge on the daily, with one taking place on the set of the new competition series Real Country.
