    I don't care where you come from or what you do, Jamie Foxx nailed the holy shit out of this role. He embodied everything about Ray Charles from the voice, the movements, his genius, every damn thing. Most certainly a well deserved Oscar to a brilliant multi talented man.

    My dad taught me to play "What'd I say" when I was 7 and attending classical piano classes. Every time my piano teacher left me to practice some classical tune she returned and saw me playing this and she got mad :) When I was graduating the music school 7 years later my teacher asked me to play this for the final graduation concert instead of playing the piece by Frederic Chopin :)The audience got crazy.

    At 1:02 when he started to sing but the voice was low so he had to flip the microphone to where the speakers are at so he can be heard... It was an extremely small detail but it was well accounted for since they're using real recordings of Ray Charles singing, so however the recordings are when they use it, it's what it is without altering it. So instead of changing it or doctoring it, they created the scene a certain way to fit the original recording that made total sense... How Brilliant Was That?!?!

    The second time I watched this film I actually forgot I was watching Jamie fox playing Ray Charles, he played him so damn well. Ray Charles was a musical genius, and Jamie fox was amazing in this.

    Jamie Foxx did a fantastic job in portraying this man. He embodied everything about Ray Charles from his voice, his mannerisms, and the smallest things he does. Even Ray Charles himself was impressed with the way he brought his life story to life. He most definitely earned that Oscar.

    Watching the interview on the Howard Stern show it wasn't actually Jamie singing he said he wanted Ray's voice but Jamie was playing the howitzer and piano.

    I remember watching Ray Charles on a black and white TV perform this song (not necessarily the one shown in this video). Anyway it was during a Bar-B-Q that a bunch of Army military families were having. In the afternoon, after everyone had eaten, the adults were chatting and the kids messing around, and the TV started playing Ray Charles playing this song. I kid you not, everything stopped and everyone watched this song. I do not remember the show, but I remember the impact that this song had.

    The end part of the scene in the studio with Atlantic president Ahmet Ertegun and producer Jerry Wexler is also authentic in that they eventually decided to issue the song as a single with half the song on each side. Instead of shortening it they came up with a creative and somewhat weird solution. Having to flip the single over mid-song after all was way better than issuing a watered down version of the song. "I'm telling you, that's a hit!"

    This is one of the best bio-pics I've ever seen. And I'm a historian, I've seen a few more of these than most folks.
    For absolutely capturing everything I know about the subject, 'Ray' has only two other equals: Daniel Day Lewis in 'Lincoln' and Bruno Ganz in 'Der Untergang/Downfall'. I give those latter two movies a very slight edge because I will never think of Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler without hearing Lewis' and Ganz' voice respectively. The key difference is that Ray Charles left a full and vibrant record of his voice and mannerisms at almost every stage of his career. That made Jamie Foxx's job just that much harder. But lawd have mercy what a job he did with it!
