Ray Charles and Jamie Foxx - Stepping Into The Part (2004)

They are like twins.

Jamie was born to play that role

He went to college with a classical piano scholarship? ... ok now he has to be making stuff up now.

wow, that was beautiful.

Это прекрасно

Can someone tell me the name of the song Ray Charles played on the keyboard at 1min 45sec?

I f**ken love Ray Charles

I LOVE HOW EXCITED RAY GETS!!!

Bravo Jamie and thank u

A great artist playing a great artist!

FUCK AN OSCAR.....this is worth so much more...omg

Hiring Jamie Foxx and not knowing he is a musician is crazy xD

Love this.
Well done, Jamie, on an amazing film.
And well done, Ray, on an amazing life. RIP

Pretty sure Ray died a few months after that interaction

They needed to create a whole new award for Jamie in this role. Like a platinum oscar. Unreal

전설의 시작

Beautiful

Jamie gave Ray Charles such joy because he knew at this point that Jamie would portray him so well: 9.33 - 9.39. I find this sooo beautiful 💖

Wow. Did not know Jamie was a talented musician as well. We all have a special gift, but when it is in the arts, it really stands out - it's what human-beings do best.

Jamie’s portrayal was masterful…Like you could get lost in the movie and forget that it was Jamie and not Mr Charles

I was very fortunate I grew up in an era where music by legends such as Ray Charles was soothing on my soul during Apartheid in South Africa. The portrayal of Ray by Jamie Foxx can never be matched❤❤❤

said it many times before,,,jamie foxx playing "RAY" ,,,ray charles reincarnated

That is a beautiful scene and a lesson to learn to everyone that how you preserve legacy Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx, Legacy

Jamie fox is an Alien 👽

The footage of Ray Charles playing behind Jamie Fox's basic blues pattern is INCREDIBLE! There's a lot of his recordings, but not a lot of him just sitting solo at the piano improvising like that. He died just before the release of this film - the recording he made of Drown In My Own Tears for this is some of the best I've ever heard him play. He channeled blues piano - as if he gave it birth. I'm damn glad I got to see him play live before he died

I can remember the excitement I had hearing this movie was being made. It's one of my all time favorites. The footage of him playing the Chitling Circuit w/Lowell Fulsom is worth the ticket alone. There aren't enough movies that cover the R&B era before rock and roll

<333

I just loved the movie, Jammie was the best!!! He honestly dug deep to find Ray Charles!!! God bless you!!!

This is my favorite movie. Jamie embodied this role. He’s a genius. What a man Jamie is

Man!!!!! Jamie Foxx sounds just like Ray Charles!! He did amazing in the movie!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

目が見えないとは。

一体、どんな世界何なんだろう？
はかり知ることは出来ないだろう。

でも、彼は、どう観ても「人生を楽しいんでいる」

逆に、彼にとって「目が見えない」とゆう弊害が、逆に彼の魂を「成長」させているようにさえ思う。

感じる…………

Having Ray says "The boy got it" about you is an achievement that's worth to be carved on your tombstone.

If you ever wonder.. if acting is easy than it looks.. just think of Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles.. the amount of skill that went into that Role is honestly unlike any other..

Jamie fox was the sooo good in this movie

Very cool video !

The BEST movie of a LEGEND I have ever seen in my long happy life.

Jammie is just an exceptional actor and a performer.

Them standing side by side is like seeing before and after, older and younger. So perfect.

Incredible !

Muito bom!!!!

That's crazy how that day playing is when Jamie became Ray and didnt even know. 😢

good. thanks

It's almost like Ray knew he was in the twilight of his life, and wanted to leave us with something good to remember him by.

There will never be another biopic that comes close to this performance.
Ever.

Idk I can just look at Ray Charles laughing and it's enough for me

Ray having the time of his life love to see it

Amazing

Lmao so they based the entire performance on a clip of Ray stoned his fuck on heroin?
