Ray Charles - In Concert

Summary: He Can't Be Topped
Review: Ray Charles is one of the few music personalities that lives up to the word, phenomenon! He doesn't perform a song he doesn't feel, and it is contagious. I found myself captivated by this performance. The highlight for me,was when Ray picks up a cold Alto Saxophone on the song, "All I Ever Need Is You,"and plays a wonderful solo. He is truly, a "natural." Be it blues,country,rock and roll,jazz,standards or gospel, Ray's infectious enthusiasm and natural ability, make the songs his own. Buy it, you will love it!!!

Summary: Thank Your Lucky Stars
Review: A short and sweet comment: We lost a national treasure in the recent passing of Ray Charles. Here's a suggestion for a cold or rainy weekend. Take in the fine new film 'Ray' and then come home, light a fire, a candle or something else and play this dvd. Stunning video and sound, Ray at his best, Diane Schuur at hers, and an overall selection and pacing that both highlights his artistry and control. Rest in Peace Ray. Thank you.

Summary: Ray Converts a New Fan!
Review: I have never been much of a Ray Charles fan...just not my era. But given Ray's classic rendition of "America the Beautiful" I decided to check this DVD out. Boy, I found out what I have been missing! I was mesmorized! The DVD quality is great, the song selection is excellent, the orchestra is superb, and even my three year old daughter loves Ray's rendition of America! It is truly awe inspiring and definitely worth having in a DVD collection.

Summary: A crown jewel!
Review: What can I say? Ray Charles is a jewel in the crown of American music. I saw him do a similar show in Kansas City with their symphony. Seventy-three and performing circles around artists one-third his age. An excellent performance and excellent sound. Do yourself a favor - BUY IT!!
