RAY: THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK

Chiar daca Ray Charles a plecat dintre noi, muzica sa ramane nemuritoare. Acest lucru este confirmat si de coloana sonora Ray: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack care insoteste productia cinematografica regizata de catre Taylor Hackford si care il are in rolul principal pe Jamie Foxx. Filmul Ray a fost lansat in Statele Unite la sfarsitul lunii octombrie a acestui an.

Albumul Ray: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack il celebreaza pe legendarul Charles prin 16 dintre piesele clasice ale artistului, precum "I've Got A Woman", "(Night Time Is) The Right Time", "Georgia On My Mind", "Hit The Road Jack", and "Let The Good Times Roll".

Ray: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack include piese de pe albume precum Ray Charles (cunoscut si dub numele de Hallelujah I Love Her So), The Genius Sings The Blues si Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music.

Colectia numara deasemenea versiuni de studio ale piselor "Mess Around", "Georgia On My Mind", "I've Got A Woman", "(Night Time Is) The Right Time", "Drown In My Own Tears", "Mary Ann", "Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I)", "Hit The Road Jack", "Unchain My Heart", "Born To Lose" si "Bye Bye, Love".

Trecut in nefiinta in data de 10 iunie a acestui an, Ray Charles insusi s-a implicat in realizarea filmului, alegand trei din cele sase piese live care apar pe soundtrack: "Hallelujah I Love Her So", "What'd I Say" si "You Don't Know Me". Acestea au fost culese de la un concert desfasurat in 1964 la Shrine Auditorium din Los Angeles si au fost incluse pe albumul Ray Charles Live In Concert din 1965. Pe album se mai gasesc versuini live ale pieselor "Georgia On My Mind", "I Can't Stop Loving You" si "Let The Good Times Roll".
