    I can't believe that this movie was made in 2004, I thought that it was made in 2018 or something, the quality is wonderful along with the editing! What a wonderful movie and an amazing director! Ray Charles was such a wonderful character!

      From Wikipedia:
      “In the scene in which Charles is about to enter a segregated music hall in Augusta, Georgia, in 1961, a group of civil rights activists protesting just outside the hall successfully persuade him not to perform; Charles then declares that he will no longer perform in segregated public facilities and in response, the Georgia state legislature passes a resolution banning Charles from ever performing again in the state. In reality, a group of civil rights activists did successfully persuade Charles to reject this invitation, but the advice came in the form of a telegram rather than a street protest;[14] Charles also did make up for the gig later, and was never banned from performing in Georgia and still accepted invitations to perform at segregated public facilities.[14]”

    Don’t believe everything that you see in the movies. This incident never actually happened the way it’s portrayed in this scene.
    From Wikipedia:
    “In the scene in which Charles is about to enter a segregated music hall in Augusta, Georgia, in 1961, a group of civil rights activists protesting just outside the hall successfully persuade him not to perform; Charles then declares that he will no longer perform in segregated public facilities and in response, the Georgia state legislature passes a resolution banning Charles from ever performing again in the state.

      Partly incorrect. Ray was not banned from playing in Georgia but refused to play in Georgia for many years due to segregation. He never made up the concert ,that is false. He paid 757 dollars in compensation from a court ruling for not playing due to segregation. In 1979 Georgia issues a state apology to Ray in person for the ruling and he became the first person to be born in Georgia inducted into the Georgia state music hall of fame. His song Georgia on my mind also became the states song that same date.
