    It's amazing how much attention Ray gives Dick. He is 110% engaged in the conversation and I love seeing him laugh and smile the the way I wish other celebrity's would. The man is totally fearless, and I am so glad that he was able to just be himself everywhere he went.

    Top class act. His look at his own life and not just the talent but the dignity this man had is overblowing.

    Wow. And I'm watching "Ray" currently on Netflix and I'm just overblown by him completely ❤ his soul is so full of love and joy and respect and humor. I'm so happy that he can see now and rest of peace. I mean that with all of my heart. ❤

      It's so fortunate he lived long enough to be apart of the production process and kinda show Jamie Foxx a bit of how he performs and generally acts. I think it really helped him get his mannerisms and to properly show how good a pianist he was. R.I.P to the legend Ray Charles gone but never forgotten 🙏.

      @@nappyk96 Amen! I watched them together too on UA-cam watching how Jamie prepared for the role. It was gold 💯 he actually looked intimidated of Ray. That was probably just his nerves and stuff but they got more and more comfortable with each other

    The great Ray Charles, a wonderful talk show guest, a warm, charming man and, for anyone who saw him perform live as I was privileged enough to do many years ago, a magnetic, outstanding performer.

    I just love Dick's show! as a director of TV program in China, I really want to do a show like his in those days. It's hard to imagine that he can invite so many guests and let everyone fully express themselves in his show.
