      @@lshepherd6137the movie was a bit too fast paced for my liking. He met and then was ostracised from people in 4 minutes at times. Literally just rewatched it. Another thing was they made a big deal about Ray refusing to play in front of a segregated audience in Georgia and said how he got an award and pardon in 1979 because of it. But also fail to mention that Ray then went to Sun City in South Africa in 1981 and played infront of an entirely segregated audience in a country with the worst racial segregation laws ever. So… that’s a bit of a swing and a miss there.

    I'm closer to 60 then 50. I've loved Ray for as long as I can remember. I'm bothered and confused why I never seeked him out live. What a fool.

    The footage of Ray Charles playing behind Jamie Fox's basic blues pattern is INCREDIBLE! There's a lot of his recordings, but not a lot of him just sitting solo at the piano improvising like that. He died just before the release of this film - the recording he made of Drown In My Own Tears for this is some of the best I've ever heard him play. He channeled blues piano - as if he gave it birth. I'm damn glad I got to see him play live before he died
    I can remember the excitement I had hearing this movie was being made. It's one of my all time favorites. The footage of him playing the Chitling Circuit w/Lowell Fulsom is worth the ticket alone. There aren't enough movies that cover the R&B era before rock and roll

    GLORY TO GOD FOR Jamie Foxx's performance...it was so real that you couldnt tell that Jamie wasnt Ray. Thats true acting. I believe God used Jamie to show us all a different perspective of how persistence repeatition and perseverance plays a great role in staying anchored and overcoming tough obstacles in which that was Rays whole life.

    Director: “Ahh Jamie you should play the piano. That's a problem.
    Jamie: I've been playing the piano since I was a kid."
    Tarantino: Oh Jamie. You have to ride a horse, that's a problem.
    Jamie: I've got a lot of my own horses, bro. Can I bring it to the set?" 😅

    Watching Jamie perform the way he did was transcendent, it was like rebirthing the gift of Ray Charles to the public in a way no other actor could ever do. From everything to the mannerisms to the voice. It just is simply superb and stunning. And what a way to homage to an absolute immortalized legend of Ray Charles
