(MORE CLIPS FROM THE MOVIE "Ray" • Ray - Hit The Road Jac... ) Jamie Foxx stars as the one-of-a-kind innovator of soul, Ray Charles, who overcame impossible odds and humble beginnings to become an extraordinary music legend.
This will be the 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the making of this classic it came out in the month of October.I wonder if they tried to put the movie out on the birthday of Ray he was born 9-23-30
Ahmet treated Ray right and was proud of him when he got a better deal with Atlantic. James Brown handled his own business for most of his h he hay day, produced his own records, and went straight to DJs to get around payola. There was MoTown as well. Not everything was exploitation but it often was.
Ray is the one singing every song in this film and anyone who suggests it wasn't is mistaken. Foxx is a great actor but NOBODY sings like Ray Charles except RayCharles
Yea baby. New York style. Nothing like cash in your pocket. I was born in 1954 and always carry a couple hundred in my left pocket. My dad, Queens we are from, told me not to put all your cash in your wallet. You never know so be prepared.
“Anytime” by Eddy Arnold I love that scene, but I can’t find it on RU-vid. That was Ray auditioning for the Florida Playboys before he moved to Seattle.
@John Conway He used that hook as a chorus for one of his songs, everyone got credit including ray, his music is not in the public domain so he def got paid, around should be around 20% Kanye also had the song ft. Jamie Fox who song the vocals in that song (the same guy playing ray Charles in this movie) How did is squash creativity.... Kanye was one of the most creative producers of our generation I dislike his ideals and personality but he is talented and just about any musician you know in the business would agree. " less risky and less expensive" if you know Kanye's backstory you would know that no one supported him in becoming an artist they just wanted him to make simple beats for Jay Z and his label, it wasn't until after Kanye got into a car accident and broke his jaw that he decided, "fuck it I'm gonna do this on my own since no one is helping me" Produced, written and recorded by himself his first solo song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AE8y25CcE6s.html (Literally song it with his mouth wired shut) and his song became number 1 on billboard
