Directed by: Taylor Hackford
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Regina King, Clifton Powell
Visible crew/equipment: When Ray is in his new recording room, there's a shot of a white man near a TV, and the reflection of the camera is visible on the TV.
Visible crew/equipment: After Ray's been given the first offer to make an album, he starts to discuss with Oberon. On one of Ray's two lenses a white screen used for lighting is reflected, on the other Oberon's stand in (who looks nothing like him) is seen. (01:17:15)
Factual error: When Ray and several others are riding in an automobile they pass underneath a railroad bridge. Passing over them on the bridge is a modern day container type train, a train of the era that the film portrays would be made up mainly of boxcars, tank cars, etc. not shipping containers.
Ray Charles: Man, you told me if I think pennies, I get pennies. I'm thinking dollars, man.
Trivia: It's shown in the film that Ray turns up to a protest outside the concert and then refuses to play before a segregated crowd in Georgia, which earns him a lifetime ban from the state. Ray Charles did cancel his concert but only paid compensation and was never banned from Georgia. There was also no protest outside the concert hall.
Question: What was that tune that Ray was playing on the piano just after he offered his 3 backup singers $30 a week?
