Cons: Why do people have to die for thm to be noticed and have a movie made. Honor people while they are alive.
The already popular Ray Charles is finally being repopularized. Piano and lyrics are one of a kind.

Pro Reviews: Ray [Original Soundtrack]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Unlike the soundtrack for his Jerry Lee Lewis biopic Great Balls of Fire, director Taylor Hackford didn't have Ray Charles rerecord his classic songs for the soundtrack of his Charles biopic, Ray Instead, he selected 17 songs of Ray at his '50s and '60s peak, skillfully balancing selections from both Atlantic and ABC to create a surprisingly successful and thoroughly entertaining overview. While 17 tracks can't contain all of his best work there's not too much of his jazz playing and just a little bit of his countrysoul recordings, plus singles from "Lonely Avenue" to "Busted" are MIA it does hit all of the bestknown songs ("I Got a Woman," "(Night Time Is) The Right Time," "Georgia on My Mind," "Hit the Road Jack"), mixing in a couple of relatively obscure tracks (such as barnburning, transcendent early RB cut "Mess Around") and adding excellent live renditions of such staples as "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "What'd I Say," and "I Can't Stop Loving You." The end result may not be definitive, but it surely is a good introduction that will no doubt whet the appetites of listeners who were turned onto Ray Charles because of Hackford's film. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: everything
Cons: perhaps even more songs.
Sopmeone asked," Why do they have to wait till someone dies before they make a movie about them?"
They started this movie way before he died. In fact, Jamie Foxx met with Ray on a few occasions. Despite that, the CD is great and I can't wait to see the movie.
