@@Irishmahn87yes and even spent time in the studio with him to learn how to play the songs. Then he wouldn’t go anywhere near the man. Ray Charles thought he didn’t like him or something. Fact was, Foxx played him at a younger age than when he met him. Had he stayed around him, we’d have seen him playing the older Ray. It was a genius move on Foxx’s part!
That hard driving horn section is so important for this song. It goes right with the force behind Ray's voice. It all comes together to make a true hit.
This list of great movies, and parts that Curtis has done will have you scroll down for a week and a half. He is like second to the king of bit parts and supporting actors. I'd say the king, but I think Paul Giamatti has been in a few more. But yeah, you add the two together, you have like a third or more movies made in the last 40+years.
I’ve been thinking this for a while, Emma stone and Ryan gosling have been touted as a “Hollywood couple” for a while, if Jamie fox and Kerry Washington make another great movie together im sure they can get the same title, im not black myself but I love seeing these two on screen together
@@dentatusdentatus1592Ray Charles. If you want to walk far in this world, there are somethings you HAVE to know even if you dont like the subject. Trust me this ability will bring anyone far away effortlessly
Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal. Ray Charles I speak, on behalf of all of us, Ray. Thank you, for inviting us to your meal! ❤ Peace be with you, Professor Ray!!! 😊
Ray is one of my favorite movies!!!! Jamie Foxx played him so fantastically well!!! Jamie Foxxx as Ray Charles is my favorite role by him!!!! Jamie Foxx is one of my favorite actors, and I love this scene so much, it's one of my favorite scenes to sing along to!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊😊
4:16 Love how it was going first with Up to Down Boogie Woogie style to straight back ally rummage Rock and Roll AristoCat Style. And the second option fits perfect as it goes perfectly with the lyrics.
Notice when he's practicing the song on the piano you can actually see the strings on the inside of the piano being hit. Very subtle, but a great way for the film to show the viewer that Jamie is actually playing, and the correct sound isn't being added in post.
It's like O Brother Where Art Thou. When Clooney sings, he was actually singing. They overdubbed Dan Tyminsky of course but it still feels authentic because of the realistic muscle and facial movements. Small details like that are my favorite.
I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ray Charles at the Hollywood Bowl. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Jaime Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles was sublime and nothing short of genius! 🎉🎉🎉 #raycharles #ray #jaimefoxx #universalpictures
@@EthanClemons-w2j I guess you're right. No matter how many times you've heard that song, when they play it in this scene you will NOT be able to resist the temptation to dance.
Ok so just watched a interview of Jammie and he said. That was Ray's voice in movie the music parts. Because I always thought it was J. But it does take away how brilliant Jammie was in this movie ❤❤❤❤

The only thing wrong with Jamie Foxx' performance in this role is that he eclipsed performances by the entire cast, from the bit parts like the radio DJ to the supporting cast of Regina King and Kerry Washington, and Curtis Armstrong in the role of Ahmed. Truly an ensemble performance.
What I don't understand this whole time is how he's had this song in his pocket and then finally waits till now to reveal it. If he already had it when he met him and signed him up.That should have been the first thing.
Ray never hated Elvis. He just didn’t appreciate him as the greatest thing in music at the time. Why should he when Elvis idols were still active making great music. Please continue to leave Elvis but dont put other artists and music down because neither Elvis nor Ray was God.
this is how the mess around was born. I like part when the guy said you could talk about the pit Bar B,Q.

Jamie Foxx transcended acting in this Role...he BECAME Ray Charles!!!
not really you can clearly tell actual blind person vs acting
@@mrpickles1243 I mean, he was functionally blind for this role. He let them glue his eyelids shut so he would have to figure everything out just like Ray did.
You’re right, there’s times when I’ve watched this movie, I actually forget that Jamie Foxx ISN’T Ray Charles
He actually met with the real Ray Charles while preparing for this role

A straight jam!
Jamie Fox played the hell out this role no will ever do it better!!!! bravo Jamie 👏👏👏
He is an amazing all round entertainer.
Curtis Armstrong should have gotten an Oscar for this in the supporting actor role. He pulled off Ahmet Ertegun with poise and flair!!!
He's a decent singer too 😅
Ahmet Etergun was basically the only person in Ray's life who never screwed him over. A lifelong friend.
True, true. And he looked quite a bit like the man as well!

Jamie and Regina absolutely killed their roles. 2 of the greatest performances ever.

20th?! Good lord i'm old
“…I like how you put things together, man. You know what, Omelet? You’re alright with me” gets me every time.
Jamie Fox deserved an oscar for his performance
He won an Oscar for this performance 😂
Yes he did. This movie was excellent
And that's why he won one!!!
Ray was a pure born genius …and Jamie did a spectacular job of playing him
Jamie also
They complain that Ray sounds like Nat King Cole and Charles Brown, but Ahmet wrote a song that's like Pete Johnson. Lol.

He won the Oscar for Best Leading Actor, you cant really get much more credit than that.

One of THE BEST Bio Docs ive ever seen. Jamie Foxx was born for this Role ❤️🌹
RIP Ray Charles 🎹
Great movie love how it shows recording process and them trying to come up with a hit / original sound for Ray
Well yeah, there would have been a LOT more stages to it then what we saw here 😂 but that’s less exciting for a movie of course

Yeah Jamie is singing in these scenes only
Funny story; the director planned to use hand doubles. He didn't even know Jamie could actually play, until Jamie told him.
Those saxes hit hard.
Hard sax

One of the greatest movie ever made (biography), everyone fit right in like a puzzle. Jamie Foxx is the best.

Jamie stretched himself well 👏
Booger really cleaned up his act.
One of her best films
tbh, this is one of my top 5 favorite moves
so much going on
well done
For those of you who don't know music theory: "Mess Around" is in the key of E flat, not G.

Too lateeeeeeee
Straight up wtf
Literally saw your message as it was happening.

I can see John Candy playing the dashboard of his car during this song.
Took me a long time to realize the guy playing Ahmet is Booger from Revenge of the Nerds! 😂😂😂
5:41 I definitely shouted.
That’s E flat! 😆 4:01
CURTIS ARMSTRONG! MY BOOGER!
John Candy in Planes Trains and Automobiles.
Key of G, that was definitely E Flat 🤣🤣

PENNIES and DOLLARS, my friend. That's the plural for "penny," and the apostrophes are incorrectly used.
@@Rodenson1314
Where u learn that from think about it
curtis has a decent voice tbh
I could be totally off base with this. So forgive me...
But the more I watch this movie, the more I think Ray Charles might have been blind.
Blind people don’t exist. So your wrong
4:01 4:33
Olivia Pope was stunningly beautiful here. So pretty
2:09
Легендарно
From Dudley "Booger" Dawson to Ahmet Ertegun. Go Curtis Armstrong.
Ikt
4:40 you can actually see them having $ signs instead of pupils
😍
This song isn't in the key of G, as Amed says. It's actually Eb.
I if Ray has seen this movie. Oh wait.
He said God damn every time Brian shows up on the 500 money worth
Still hard to believe Ahmet and Booger are the same guy.
You know, that Ray guy looks a lot like Jamie Foxx
Wow booger really grew up after college 😂
Ray wasn’t blind, he had 20/20 vision
Smoke Another 1
Why in the world did they have a 78rpm record playing at 33? What sense does that make?
Oiraeeeee
I never saw the ending of this movie. Does he get his sight back?
Idk if you know but the Real Ray Charles never regained his sight.
Yes, Bugger finds the cure right after he steals Emmett Brown's DeLorean
