Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Ray Charles performing his cover of country singer Don Gibson's song "I Can't Stop Lovin You" live.
Kitty Wells made a hit out of the song in 1958.

Song background
"This was written and originally recorded by a country singer named Don Gibson in 1958. His version was released as the B-side of his #7 hit "Oh Lonesome Me," which he wrote the same day. Kitty Wells, who was a very popular country singer, recorded this later in 1958. Her version was a huge country hit, and was on the carts at the same time as Gibson's version.
Charles was known as a gospel and R&B singer, but he defied convention and decided to record an album of country and western songs. His producer, Sid Feller, put together tapes containing about 150 classic country songs so Charles could choose which ones to record. Included on the tapes was "I Can't Stop Loving You," which Charles remembered from when he would listen to The Grand Ole Opry."

"I Can't Stop Loving You" written by Don Gibson
Lyrics
"I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)"
