Ray Charles: A Gifted Person!!!!
I play piano and it was my piano teacher recommended this movie to me back when it first came out. I put off watching it for a while but finally got around to it back in 2022. I just bought the DVD just the other day and I am sure that it will be even more better then before. In addition to the DVD, I also bought the CD soundtrack as well. Ray Charles was a gifted person and he is TRULY MISSED!!!!!

Ray Charles is Explosive!
The movie Ray Charles is musically explosive! Great movie. Ray had a sad childhood. And his mother died way too young. She didn’t get to see her son become successful nor did she get to enjoy his prosperity. Nothing is more sad. No wonder he ended up using drugs to try to escape his deep seated pain! He ended up marrying a great Christian woman. I LOVED this movie! First time I saw it was 12/25/2022. This movie is great! It will make you cry, laugh and sing! Triple whammy. I grew up in San Francisco and saw RC live in the city I was born in and love. Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington should have won an Academy Award for great acting! Ray Charles will always be the “King of Blues & Gospel!” He had God given talent. Like the best of us singers.
