Genius to legend, not just talking

A genius to a legend is more than just hard work! Ray said, all these efforts do not depart from the help his mother gave him. The mother's cruelty and strictness have created who I am today—from being talented, working hard to being a genius, and then from being a genius to a legend of soul... all of this Efforts and processes are all very hard, from the failure at the beginning, to the pride after becoming famous, and then to the indifferent at the end... No one can understand the hardships~ I have experienced too much, and understood too much. Too much... the good and evil of human nature, indifferent... the music is pure! There is a soul! So ~ Soul Singer

  • Oberon: You know, Marlene and Gossie's the ones running the game on you, Ray. They sliced up the pie the first night you played. Thirty-five percent off the top. Plus Gossie's double scale as leader.

    Ray Charles: Leader. If anyone's leadin' the band I'm the leader! You know what? Forget the bohumps. I'm goin' my own way.

    Oberon: Who's gonna book your gigs? Marlene's got you locked up and she ain't about to let her golden goose go.

    Lady in Rain: [singing] Straighten up and fly right. Cool down papa don't you blow your top.

    [Speaking]

    Lady in Rain: Ray Robinson you are fan-tastic.

    Oberon: There you go man. Gimme some skin.

    Ray Charles: [Feels card in his hand] What's this?

    Oberon: Jack's card. I got his number at the hotel

  • Jack Lauderdale: So Ray, we got to talk about your name, man. Robinson. I mean, Sugar Ray got to Robinson franchise all sewed up. So I'm thinking we go with your middle name: Charles. As in "Ray Charles."

    Ray Charles: I don't care what you call me, man, just as long as my name is on the record.
