The Blues Brothers is one of the greatest films ever made for many reasons, but the disparity in acting skill amongst the various rhythm and blues legends that make up the supporting cast is very good. Matt "Guitar" Murphy is reading his lines like they're being held up on cue cards whilst Aretha Franklin wipes the floor with him. Donald "Duck" Dunn is certainly saying things, but that's between him and the subtitles. We don't need to give Blue Lou any lines, you see, he has hair!
James Brown? Cab Calloway? Ray Charles? Zero notes.

Today We Honor Ray Charles
In just about every Hall of Fame that has anything to do with music, be it Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, Rock & Roll, Gospel or Country & Western, Ray Charles’ name is very prominently displayed.
Probably the strongest element in Ray Charles’ life, and the most concentrated driving force, was music.
Charles combined blues, gospel, R&B, rock, country music and jazz to create groundbreaking hits such as “Unchain My Heart,” “I’ve Got A Woman,“ “What I’d Say,” “Georgia On My Mind,” “Hit The Road Jack,” and “America The Beautiful.” But Ray’s catalog also includes a huge collection of other “classically Ray” recordings that may not be as well known such as “Come Live With Me,” “A Song For You” and many others.
His impressive multi award winning 50-year career left an indelible mark on music all over the world.
Ray often said, “I was born with music inside me. That’s the only explanation I know.”
