You'll have Ray Charles on your mind.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

A truly excellent film, Very well directed by Taylor Hackford. Jamie Foxx gives a mesmerizing performance has the great musics-an Ray Charles. He didn't just act like Ray Charles, he was Ray Charles, when those camera started rolling Jamie Foxx was gone, and he turned himself into Ray Charles. He had everything about the man down pat. The way he moves and laughs. The movie examines his life, his going blind when he was very young, becoming a successful singer, and his wild times. It is sad that Ray Charles died before the films big release, but I'm glad to hear he did see(in his own way) the finished version. And I heard he was proud of it. Everybody else in the picture did very well, and gave excellent performances. But It was Jamie Foxx that pretty much took the whole picture. I can't imagine anybody else playing the role with such truth and honesty has Jamie Foxx did
