jamie foxx is such a dedicated actor... how many ppl would intentionally go blind for a role? it must cause problems in his new movies but it was still worth him going blind!!
Ray chareles was blind until he was seven by a sickness called gluacoma it makes snot come out of your eyes and everything goes blurry. post a comment on my channel if you want to know more about ray charles history and death and if you if you dont want check my channel go to a bookstore and look for a book called BROTHER RAY or you can buy the movie at aclose video store near your home
ray charles. wow, he has talent. Boy a lot of talent. He knows where the notes of the piano are without making a mistake and without SEEING. He plays better then most artists that can see. He sings with such passion. He is wow.
What you just said is true, but another question could be: how could he ever see this movie? Even if he was still alive, he couldn't see this. But if he COULD see this, he'd certainly be very proud.
its incredible... how jamie stepped into the heart of ray charles... as if he was stepping into his skin... incredible performance by jamie foxx i cant say that enough times... ray charles looking beautiful in this video...
Jamie really amazed me. I didn't know who this dude was before Ray came out and after that I saw his stand-up, his other film roles in Ali and Any Given Sunday. But his potrayal of Ray Charles did it for me. He mastered the musicianship and the blindness of Ray so brillently. An Oscar for Best Actor well deserved for Jamie. You gotta see his new film The Soloist that comes out this year.
My wife bought me the DVD for my birthday. Awesome, one of those films you watch again & again.
Before long you forget that it's Jamie Foxx as he's that much of a likeness.
Ray was a genius.

that's true, but they do read the notes while playing, Ray had to play one hand on the piano one hand on the notes to read them...
