I watched this movie in two nights. After listening to R&B for two nights, my ears were overwhelmed by black music. In fact, it's not just my ears, but even my heart jumps with blue music. RAY has pursued the highest realm of music all his life. What we see is talent and talent, and we also feel the ups and downs of his life. Leaving a single mother, suffering from an eye disease, and coming to the city alone, I am afraid that I relied on the words of my mother in my heart. On the road of life, he is a lonely traveler, so he will rely on drugs and female companions to cope with the terrible loneliness. Even in the final scene of the film, he is still held high by his mother.

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.

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.
