Reverence for Ray

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2004)

as a white teenage girl growing up in the 50's i rebeled against my peers and welcomed Ray Charles into my life of music. I continued to listen to his music in spite of everyone's dismay. I saw Ray Charles at the Newport Jazz festival in the 90's. I took my 5 year old granddaughter and introduced her to his incomparable music. Till this day I know every song he ever made. I followed his career with awe. He was my favorite singer and Jamie Foxx captured my heart in "Ray". I have also followed Jamie Foxx's career. What a great casting! I'm glad Ray Charles got to see his life portray by Jamie. I think Ray's spirit lives on in Jamie's future.
