I've heard nothing but great things about this movie...I haven't had the time to see it...hopefully it will still be playing in a couple of weeks when I will have time... (I've heard speculation of academy award nomination for Jamie Fox)

Saw this show the other day and I loved it.  I am pretty ignorant of R&B/Jazz/Blues history and came away from this movie wanting to find all the Ray Charles info I could find.  I quickly decided that I wasmost interested in his early Atlantic work.  It has inspired me to learn som piano. Jaimie Fox is a dead ringer for Ray. Good flick !

I was hoping for "Quincy" - I saw a commercial just today for an up coming doc about Q - I think it's this coming weekend on network TV. Yeah, Jamie Fox WAS Ray Charles in this movie - fantastic

There is a lot of great stuff on Q available already although more would of course be welcome.  His audio book autobiography is one of a kind. The movie Listen Up is also phenomenal.  Both of these feature Ray Charles talking about his experiences with Q by the way.
