    I love the subtlety of Ahmet telling Ray (Jamie) that the song is in the key of G, he plays a slow ballad, then Ahmet say “no a kind of Pete Johnson thing” and Ray instantly plays a whole different tune lol true musicians get how awesome that is 😂

And all the stuff that Jamie Foxx went through to play this character I mean, the director who was Ray Charles son, said that there were times during the filming that you would look at Jamie Foxx and one minute he would look like Ray and the next minute he looked like Jamie Foxx and when you get that lost in your persona that we can't tell who you are, thats acting on a whole new level.

      I've seen this scene a few times now and still believe that even though the song lyrics were written by the producer Ahmet Ertegun and the style of playing was influenced by Pete Johnson, it still allowed Ray to see that there was a different way of writing and performing that he didn't consider previously. Somewhat similar to what Elton John found when the first record company he tried to get a contract with paired him with Bernie Taupin to write lyrics. I don't think Elton John would be as big as he is today without Bernie and I don't think Ray would have been as successful as he was without this moment.

I loved Ray Charles, which is a little unusual for my age group, but I play guitar and I think that's makes a person more open minded and attracted to talent. Another very strong point is Jamie Foxx. After just a few minutes into the movie, I thought it was really Ray. Jaime actually played piano in a bunch of parts. He was genius.

    amazing how curtis armstrong went from booger to ahmet ertegun!.
    was just watching "revenge of the nerds" and realized
    he's the guy that plays "booger" as for "RAY"
    it is simply a masterpiece!

    JF well deserved academy award 🏆 as father of a blind child I noticed how every time the door opens he starts talking to Ahmet. And as soon as he hears a voice he didn't know was there, he asks immediately. Also Curtis Armstrong (don't refer to him as booger plz, does him a bit of a disservice) nailed his role as Ahmet Ertegun as well.

    You know the interesting, deep and profound thing about this scene is that if it weren't for the fact that Ray Charles mastered and internalized masters like King Cole and Charles Brown, and Pete Johnson etc. he wouldn't even have been able to come up with his own thing.
