One of his most famous songs is “Seven Spanish Angels,” a duet with Ray Charles that was released in 1984. This emotional ballad tells the story of two lovers who have been separated by death, but are reunited in heaven.

She sings about how she never thought they would be separated so soon, but now that she is with him again in heaven, she knows that their love will last forever. Together, Nelson and Charles create a beautiful and poignant tribute to true love and sacrifice.
