Soul and R&B legend Ray Charles may not have lived to see the success of Hollywood's ultimate tribute to him, but director Taylor Hackford's biopic (featuring a landmark performance by Jamie Foxx as the musical legend) will further burnish his legacy as one of the cornerstones of contemporary American music. Though it stretches from 1953's ecstatic, proto-soul "Mess Around" to a sublime, bluesy live take of "Georgia on My Mind" recorded in Japan in the mid-'70s, this 17-track song-score can only be an inviting appetizer to the singer's epochal body of work. Charles's artistry may have virtually defined soul music, yet it also triumphed in genres as far afield as blues ("Nightime Is the Right Time") and country ("I Can't Stop Loving You," "Bye Bye Love") during the '60s, the impossibly rich era from which the bulk of this soundtrack is culled. Crucially, fully a third of the cuts here are live recordings--including electrifying 1965 performances of "What'd I Say," "You Don't Know Me," and "Hallelujah I Love Her So" hand-picked for the film by Charles himself--the forum in which the singer consistently operated on a whole other artistic plateau from mere mortals. <I>-- Jerry McCulley</I>

Album Description

This fall Universal Pictures and Walden Media will release the feature-length biopic Ray!, the never-before-told musical biographical drama of the late American legend Ray Charles. Featuring a remarkable performance from Jamie Foxx in the central role, Ray! follows the inspiring story of a one-of-a-kind genius. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Taylor Hackford (La Bamba, An Officer And A Gentleman), the film features Foxx's uncanny lip-syncing to classic Ray Charles tracks (utilizing the artist's original master recordings). Ray! is an inspirational story about an amazing artist and human being, with Ray Charles music at the film's very core.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Ray is a shining Star.......2007-03-23

I was taking in from the beginning. Jamie Foxx has thoroughly reviewed the roll. Ray Charles has always been an inspiration and Jamie helped to shed the light.

2 out of 5 stars disappointed.......2007-03-17

i was very disappointed because i bought the cd for the last track "georgia on my mind" which was sung with such passion and improvisation during the credits of the movie. i should have just reordered the dvd from netflix and played the end over and over.

5 out of 5 stars Ray!.......2007-02-03

The Man and (some) of his music. He truly was a great artist! Five stars!

5 out of 5 stars Well Worth Bying!.......2007-01-25

I absolutlely adore the songs, "The Night Time (Is The Right Time)", "Georgia On My Mind", "What I'd Say", "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Bye, Bye Love".

The movie is great and the soundtrack makes it even better!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fenomenal.......2006-11-04

I will be short. The fact that I'm listening this CD continously for 2 months in my car and I'm still far from being bored by it. Each song is great, musicians are perfect so I could only recommend you to by it. Also, Amazon was great, because first shipment was somehow lost, and they immediatelly delivered next one. BR, Ilija
