Ray/Ray Charles - Gospelkonzert [2 DVDs] - Solfire Media

DVD 1: "Ray"
Um als professioneller Musiker zu arbeiten, musste Ray Charles drei Hürden zu Beginn seiner Karriere nehmen, als er 1947 auf eigene Faust von Florida nach Seattle reiste: Er war blind, arm und schwarz. Als Leader einer kleinen Tingel-Band und bald Chartsensation gelingt es ihm, auch das weiße Publikum zu begeistern.

DVD 2: "Ray Charles With The Voices Of Jubilation Choir"
"I Was Born With Music Inside Me"
In an exciting move that marked music history, legendary superstar Ray Charles was joined by the world famous "Voices Of Jubilation Gospel Choir" of Newark New Jersey for this first-ever Christmas Music Special. They combine their talents in this unprecendented musical showcase not only to entertain but also to spread positive messages to a wide audience.
What makes this endeavor so special is that 12 time Grammy winner Charles has never performed gospel music in a live setting before. In this spectacular performance, Ray returns to his gospel roots and the music that gave him his start. Of course, Ray Charles brings his own personal jazz/rhythm and blues interpretation to many holiday favorites as well. This unique marriage of gospel and holiday music will touch your soul.
