My guitar instructor in college played with Ray Charles. He once told me about a time where he had forgotten his pass and security at a venue didn’t believe he was Ray’s guitarist. At the same time he was arguing with security, Ray was being walked past them. So my teacher says “Ask Ray, he’ll tell you who I am” Without thinking, the security guard asks Ray: “have you seen this guy before?” Without missing a beat, Ray says “I haven’t seen that man a day in my life....yeah that’s my guitar player, let him in.” 😂
This is fucking cool!
That’s what we call a bruh moment
Dope!👏🏾 seems like his personality was always a fun guy to be around
Asking the blind guy if he’s ever seen somebody before...
That is literally the dictionary definition of “epic fail”.
Almost as bad as the video with the guy trying to shake the hand of the Armless Archer!
He deserved that oscar
Yeah just like bohemian Rhapsody
Been saying this for over 10 years 👏 👏
@@nayantirankar no?????? willem dafoe deserved that oscar 100 times more than rami malek
Hamu3L that’s your opinion
yes he did
Jamie Foxx deserved that Oscar for that brilliant portrayal of the legendary and iconic genius Ray Charles.
Most definitely he deserved that Oscar.!! Jamie became Mr. Ray Charles.💯💯🎼🎤🎧
what do you mean? he did get the Oscar for best performance actor.
Awesome performance in a biopic... he really got into the part... he lived it and made us love it...
@@felipe87912 that's exactly what he is saying. "he deserved that oscar", meaning the Oscar that he DID get. If he hadn't received an oscar, you would say "he deserved THE oscar".
Good on Jamie Foxx
3:35 That handshake was smooooooooth
🤣🤣🤣😂 i was like whet and then i saw
bro handshakes before Lebron is even born.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts....
Gimme some skin, can ya dig it 😎
"What the hell is going on?"
"Just a bunch of kids on stage dancing"
*"Well let em dance that's what they here for!"*
Banger of a quote
I was thinking the exact same thing!
But don't let the black people dance with the white people 🤣
@@kbanghart ?
@@Myhandleisasecret123 LOL I was referring to the other parts of the movie, where he got in trouble regarding integration. This was one of those events where the white kids got on stage with him.
Can I just point out the he actually looks and sounds like ray
Well he did lip sync all the performances
@@atcb5702 well that makes a lot of sense
@@atcb5702 I don't think he did, Jamie Foxx is a really good singer naturally tbh, there was probably some post-production fine tuning that's all
Digital_Auora he lip synced all of his performances
@@atcb5702I'll believe you for this film but he is a great singer tbf
If Ray could see Jamie's performance, he would be proud!
Too soon
Ironic
Uhm
He already did
LOL if he could "see"
Jamie Foxx really committed to this role by gluing his eyes shut throughout the filming of this movie, which is awesome imo. I think after a party or after filming, they accidentally left without him on set, forgetting that he couldn't see.
@@kreshaun true story is was the glue
Source: Trust me Bro
He didn't glue his eyes shut, they tried and it didn't work. So he had silicone prosthetics that he wore for 12 hours a day
He did trying the eye glue. But it was mostly prosthetics. The glue was uncomfortable for him
Can confirm, there's interviews where fellow cast and crew admit to forgetting Foxx couldn't see and they accidentally left him behind at lunch breaks.
Key of G
*Plays in Eb*
Damn you, film makers...
I was thinking that didn't sound like G...
true, so true!
Appearently Curtis Armstrong couldn’t sing it those two steps up.
Details, baby, details... maybe it was intentional?
lmao, my initial thoughts too as a person with perfect pitch
5:03 I love this moment because it establishes a humanity while also keeping him 100% professional. Of course he was blind, with no way he could tell the mic was backwards. Still he fixed it literally without missing a beat.
With no way he could tell? Bud SOUND was different. Prolly felt different too. And with other senses being heightened to make up for the lack of vision, it makes perfect sense...
@@michaelgill387 he very obviously meant he couldn’t tell BEFORE he started singing.
Wow I've seen this movie so many times and never noticed that! Excellent observation!
He felt that the mic was backwards tho.
It's a real moment from a live album of Ray's, from the 1960's.
The fact he could trust his band to follow him when he came up with "What I Say" on the spot speaks to the quality of musicians he toured with.

Ray Charles +Jamie Fox = legends
Word up
Mike Tyson + Jamie Fox = Icons
@@UniverseF5 Can't Wait For That One
Ray Charles +Jamie Fox = 2 legends ;)
i made it 1,000
I watched this movie so many times and I'm just realizing how much he embodied the legendary Ray Charles
Oh btw Michael b Jordan is a extra in this movie.
Where is Michael B Jordan
@@kennithjames1581 idk u tell me boys
@Anthony Tsatsis thanks
Where u see him at??
Anthony Tsatsis at what time?
4:34 “What’d I Say” was Ray Charles’s first Top 10 pop single and the greatest improvised song in rock & roll history. After playing every song he knew and still having 12 minutes to fill, Ray Charles composed this amazing piece of music, on the fly, at a club in Brownsville, Pennsylvania during December 1958. The depiction in the movie is quite accurate. Genius.....
4:36- 6:47 now that's talent! Do you know how insync this man was with his band for him to make up a song on the spot and everyone is on point like they already rehearsed it.
Improvisation at its finest love that scene❤️
one of the greatest musicians of all time. Definetely top three for me.
What song is that called?
@@jacobtablet what'd I say
If that’s how it really went down
100 billion reasons why he deserved that Oscar. JF didn't just _channel_ Ray Charles he _became_ him in front of our very eyes.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
In my opinion probably most deserved Oscar ever given was this one
It's scary how accurate this is
It's odd for me, that you would use the word "scary ", because I've always used scary to describe the affect on me regarding how "very" much Jamie Fox resembles Ray Charles,....a doppelganger even !!
7:30 That voice is outstanding. Didn't know it was possible to sound so raw.
FOR REAL
Ye that was mad
thats not an actress singin tho
😂❤hi it's wonderful to find your comment here. Our parents mother father of all creation have always been on earth and is incarnate in physical body as we speak, playing this song for us in the most awesome messenger group chat to wake humanity up❤ love to hear from you in these urgent n BOLD moments! Luna
I love how much heart she puts into 'Hit the Road Jack'
My guy you have swastika on your pfp. Better change it before YT notices.
@@kirya7177 thats not swastika, if it is then every guy with ukraine flag on pfp should change it too
I do too! She is DEFINITELY pissed OFF & feelin it!
I can't think or imagine Ray Charles now without Jamie Foxx
Preach
@333berylbeams Malak Eliyahu ban yasharahla yahawdah b
In the mess around scene he looks EXACTLY like him holy shit
Like Chris Rock said in the Oscars:
Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles so well, that they went to the hospital and unplugged the real Ray.
We don't need two of these
@@efrainrodarte6395 lol
Oooohhh!
Damn, that's vicious!
@@TheLastSamoan yeah more vicious then the time will slap chris
At this point I don’t even see Jamie Foxx anymore, all I see is Ray Charlies. A true embodiment of what an actor should be. A complete transformation of the soul.
That scene with the kids dancing on the stage gives me chills every time. The look on the girls faces when they realise how great it’s going.
Michael b Jordan at 9:04
@@mrfrog5427 nuh uh
@@josiahcarby6286 It is him lmao
Jamie can act, sing, do stand-up and hit the road jack
So let 'em dance, that's what they came for.. a real musician gets it
Jamie Foxx gets all the credit for this film, and he deserves it. But rarely is director Taylor Hackford mentioned for his outstanding direction, and he also deserves it.
“It doesn’t exist yet , I will tell Ray should record it “ illustrate the talent of Ray ❤️
Pretty certain the Hadeeth says that Abdools will go to hell for listening to music 😂😂😂
“I’m gonna pretend like I didn’t see that”
Exactly what I was thinking
lol
SEE WHAT
@@m2mb6s0nly issa meme
@@capo9769 you didn’t get the joke I made 💀
Jamie is the GOAT of entertainment!! True Triple Threat!!! Checking in August 2023!!! He embodied the soul of the great Ray Charles!!!
jamie foxx is the most talented human being who ever lived
I’ll take Prince any day.
@@Weshopwizard, you beat me to it!
Not being funny he can do stand-up ,act drama ,impressions ,sing in his voice and imitate others and hes in great shape ,shit he one of the rare blessed men on earth
Imagine the amount of fun Jamie is having to act as one of the greatest musicians to ever live on this earth...
“Ray” and “The temptation” are the best movie portrayals about the musicians. Master pieces! But Ray is in my opinion the best biopic movie about a musician ever! Plus the casting is on point!!!
You gotta add "Walk the Line" to that list though!
Never knew there was a movie about The Temptations, I'll have to check it out
@@ellithejoker1046 it’s a mini series. It’s really good! Highly recommend watching it!
@@ellithejoker1046 its free on tubi if you wanna watch it and dont wanna pay
@@kikigam7113 Thank you, I never knew of that, now I’ll know where to look for free shows. I’ll check out the show!
Man this movie was BRILLIANT
It’s insane how closely he was able to embody Ray...
"hell let em dance, that's what they came for"
6:50 Hit the hoad jack
Felipe Sousa thank you
Thanks
Very few actors who portray a musician can give you chills like Foxx did as Ray
It's a legend that he improvised "what I say". Amazing song. Is this verified as true or a myth surrounding the legend of Ray?
Its very true. Remember, Ray was actually there during the making of this film. Its all True.
@@kevc21 i
It is a 100% true story, Ray Charles himself said that he wrote the song in the spot one night when they finished the set 20 minutes early so in order to fulfill the contract he played What’d I Say on the spot. After playing it couple more nights he called Atlantic Records and told them he had been playing this song on the road and that they needed to record it as soon as possible because people were going crazy for it.
7:31 Even when she's pissed at Ray, she continues to sing.
That "Don't care if you do" note gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it
I'll be honest I didn't even know this was Jamie Foxx until the scene where he dreams seeing his mother when he was still a child. He did an amazing job portraying him so much
You only get goose bumps when it’s the right time. Ray Charles just does that to me every time, he broke so many boundaries as a musician and as a man.
That mess around part always gives me chills.
Wonder if it happened like that ? If it did just too cool!!!! Terrific movie .
@@andyb439 Yeah just the energy he instilled. Unbelievable.
Jamie deserve every piece of the Oscar award. Give it to him neowwww!!!!
Watching this 😢Jamie was absolutely brilliant in this, praying for his healing 🙏🏽
The "What'd I Say" Scene is easily my favorite. He basically just improvised what became an All-Time Classic on the Spot!
I wonder if it happened like that ? If it did, just too cool !!!
@@andyb439 What I'd Say was indeed an improvised song
"20 minutes left? Gimme a sec, I'll improvise and do an instant classic...."
creates the 9th best song in history
Maybe one of the best individual performances by an actor in cinema.
jamie foxx is the most talented human being ever lived. He can act like an oscar winning actor, sings like a grammy award winning artist, and a world class comedian
Jamie Fox channelled Ray in this performance, he really did
4.30: absolute chills, spitting sound of him 😳🤩
Jamie Foxx is absolutely fantastic
He really sounds like the real Ray Charles !! Who's listening at this I'm 2021 with me !! 💕💕💕👌👌 y'all classic !! Much respect !!
The detail of Charles turning the mic around at 5:05 makes it really feel like it's Jamie singing it instead of a lip sync
I noticed that to!
I'm pretty sure some of the songs actually used Jamie's voice instead of a playback.
@@yesman8514 Ive heard people say Jamie sang and others say it was actually Ray Charles I have no idea
@@jaydensmith443 I looked it up and they only used Ray Charles' recordings. So Jamie was just lip synching :(
@@yesman8514 Yeah I saw that but I have also seen things saying it could have been Jamie only the director knows I guess
Ray's voice is probably one of the best I've ever heard in my life! Just superb 👌

Excellent performance by Jamie Fox.
Jamie Foxx deserves every award there is...golden globe, Oscar and whatever else is available...wow what a great performance....Jamie had Ray Charles moves and voice down , amazing 👌👍👏😎
If that is actually Jamie singing, he may win the greatest biopic portrayal ever
@Genius no
Jamie is a great singer but I am quite sure that they used playback for the movie :)
That is Not Jamie singing. They just do a very good job in making it look that way otherwise the movie would not work. No One and I mean No One Ever and Never Will Sing Like Ray Charles!
@@KnockOffBeingFat james brown🤔
Ya know Jamie fix is a musician besides an actor. Music came first. Ya fried
Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented people in the face of the planet
I can’t stop watching this 😭
He deserved that Oscar
if there is such a place as heaven I hope Ray Charles gets in. Him and Freddie Mercury have got to be some of the best singers and performers to ever live.
Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles is the definition of perfection acting!
Ray was revolutionary in music history...one of the all time greatest musicians. Foxx has done an amazing job playing him!
Miss thoses old vibes
(i mean i miss them even if i never lived in that era 😂)
Same
It's called Anemoia!

He definitely knocked this role out the park best musical performance so awesome
Jammie fox is an amazing, way underrated ,talented....epic actor
Jamie FOx is a legend, played him so well
Jamie Foxx played him so well in dis movie
He really embodied Ray Charles ❤
4:48 The performance, the whole scene was pure goosebumps !
no matter how loud you put the speakers, it still awesome
Salute To Ahmet Ertegun; The Man That Supported Ray Charles... Loves From Turkey... :)
Jamie Foxx' s greatest performance. Masterpiece of a film.
the best real-life adaptation. After seeing this film I knew that oscar was his, he killed it.
Man the way he moves while he sings, exactly like Ray. Great performance by Fox
The greatest portrayal EVER!! While watching this movie I forgot all about that was Jamie.
Nobody could have played a better Ray point blank period try and name one...... I'll wait
Jaime is such an underrated performer over all acting music and so much more give him his flowers now before he’s no longer here
Jamie foxx my favorite actor. Man is so good ❤️💯
One of my favorite biopic ever
"What I'd say" absolutely SLAPS!
7:46 one of the best transitions possible
Jamie is something else. Did Ray right. Salute 🙏
just watched this yesterday on the plane and for sure a 10/10 film. 8-202-2023
1:42 that handshake gets me every single time!
One of the best performances of all time in cinema.
This should not have been possible... Jamie Foxx managed the performance of a hundred lifetimes. I'll never see him the same way again.
Jamie did that to the highest of perfection. 😍
Hit the road jack is my favorite.
Oldie but goodie. A awesome way to tune in and drop out.
I COULD WATCH THE MOVIE RAY OVER & OVER.
Thank you Mr Ray Charles for blessing my dad's music taste with soul
8:15 The significance of this scene is that Ray Charles had broken through the racial barrier that segregated white from colored music in the 1960’s.
@krvnjrcbs but he was
@@anthonygarcia5375 😂 nice
Had the whites clubs jumping back in the day
@krvnjrcbs You must be fun at parties!
@krvnjrcbs Idk, I've got 2 friends with Aspergers and they are really fun to hang out with!
Dude is a legend. From Ray to Walter McMillian, and now to Mike Tyson!
Jamie was the bomb!!!!
The goosebumps I had throughout the whole movie the first time a watched it are too many to count. Jamie is insane in this.
How have I only just discovered this!!!! What a legend Jamie Foxx is! 🔥🔥🔥
the greatest entertainer that ever lived RAY CHARLES
Absolutely
NO Name * Chuck Berry
I am not a Jamie fox fan at all but if u watch this and watch Ray Charles hit the road jack 1996 u can't tell me the difference. Well done Jamie on this 1
