Ray Charles Concert
Added 5/29/2009
This is an absolutely spectacular concert by the legend, Ray Charles. It has all of his great hits, an amazing orchestra, and the cinematography is wonderful. Even if you're just a casual fan of Ray Charles you will love this concert.

Sleepwalking
Added 1/26/2009
Sadly, the great Ray Charles delivers an uninspired performance on this DVD. He was either sick, making little effort to put feeling into the songs, or he was sleepwalking through the performance. What a disappointment!

Ray and Diane - A wonderful combination of talent
Added 1/21/2009
I love melodic tunes and Ray Charles was one of the best to give us melodies that we could whistle to.. His guest on stage, Ms. Diane Schuur who is also blind, make a dynamic duo of epic proportions. Such feeling! An absolute treat and a must-have for any musical concert collection.

Ray Charles-In Concert
Added 1/30/2007
I have always admired Ray Charles, but his performance here was far less than satisfactory. For example, when he sang, the words were slurred so bad that unless you knew the song, you had no idea what he was saying. The entire DVD was like this. I couldn't help but wonder if he was stoned during his performance.I sent it back and purchased a different DVD of a different artist.

Don't bother

Some people have complained that the sound is turned down too much on this DVD. After watching it, I wonder if they did it on purpose.
Ray Charles is in great spirits at this concert but certainly not in great voice.
The orchestra is great and Ray could certainly still play the piano just fine but his singing is pretty bad.
Diane Shur, who guest stars on two songs is very good but if you're going to get this DVD for her, you might as well get her own DVD.
Anyway, get some other Ray Charles DVD instead.
