Ray!: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
Soul and R&B legend Ray Charles may not have lived to see the success of Hollywood's ultimate tribute to him, but director Taylor Hackford's biopic (featuring a landmark performance by Jamie Foxx as the musical legend) will further burnish his legacy as one of the cornerstones of contemporary American music. Though it stretches from 1953's ecstatic, proto-soul "Mess Around" to a sublime, bluesy live take of "Georgia on My Mind" recorded in Japan in the mid-'70s, this 17-track song-score can only be an inviting appetizer to the singer's epochal body of work. Charles's artistry may have virtually defined soul music, yet it also triumphed in genres as far afield as blues ("Nightime Is the Right Time") and country ("I Can't Stop Loving You," "Bye Bye Love") during the '60s, the impossibly rich era from which the bulk of this soundtrack is culled. Crucially, fully a third of the cuts here are live recordings--including electrifying 1965 performances of "What'd I Say," "You Don't Know Me," and "Hallelujah I Love Her So" hand-picked for the film by Charles himself--the forum in which the singer consistently operated on a whole other artistic plateau from mere mortals. -- Jerry McCulley

At last, oldies but goodies you're not sick of the second time around..........2007-01-26

The movie Hairspray by John Waters boasts a score so good it's almost criminal! This CD contains twelve great songs that deserve much more attention than they ever received; and just one listen proves it.

The great songs on this CD include Toussaint McCall's heartrending ballad "Nothing Takes The Place Of You." Toussaint McCall sings this beautifully and the musical arrangement enhances the beauty of this number. Jan Bradley performs "Mama Didn't Lie" which is another excellent song. Jan sings about protecting her heart from boys who don't want to give her true love. "Foot Stompin'" boasts an infectious beat by The Flares as they sing about dancing to what was once known as "race" music. Excellent!

"You'll Lose A Good Thing" is a very romantic ballad by Barbara Lynn. In this song Barbara reminds her man to treat her well.

One of very favorite numbers on this album is Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity." Gene delivers this song very well; his voice is strong and energetic. The musical arrangement will stun you, too. Another excellent song is "The Madison Time" by The Ray Bryant Combo. "The Madison Time" is essentially a great instrumental number with a man telling dancers on the dance floor which steps to take. The arrangement is slick, $exy and very catchy, too.

Despite the fact that this CD boasts a fine collection of obscure oldies, the song "Hairspray" was written for the 1988 movie. "Hairspray" represents camp at its best and you will enjoy this number even if it isn't an oldie.

Other great songs on this CD include "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song);" "Shake A Tail Feather" and "The Roach (Dance)."

Some reviewers write that they wish that this CD included more music from the motion picture soundtrack. They are right. I considered making this a four star review for that reason but I concluded that the strength of this CD as it stands merits a five star review. The songs here are just so good I said "Aw, heck" to myself and so I gave it five stars anyway.

The liner notes give the songs credits and John Waters adds a brief essay about the songs on this CD. The graphics are excellent.

Overall, this CD offers a rare opportunity to hear many obscure but wonderful oldies that deserve more play time than they ever will receive. The quality of the sound is excellent even on my portable CD player. Fans of the oldies or movie soundtracks will love this album. May you enjoy this album as much as I have!

Best Song Missing.......2006-10-12

The reason this only gets 4*'s is because it's without the Bunker Hill tune, "Hide And Go Seek (Part 1)".

When the LP was first released, I picked up a copy and was also disappointed not to find the remaining songs from the movie.
For years I had been collecting the songs that brought my best memories
of my youth. Here was a chance to add a few of the rarer ones.

Since then, I've been able to complete my own collection of the tunes of Hairspray. And yes, "Hide And Go Seek" was my number one priority.

I found it on 2 different CD's. "The Golden Age Of American Rock 'n' Roll Vol. 6" on Ace and the ultra-rare, "Do You Remember? 30 Original Golden Oldies" on Mr. Maestro.

Luckily, though, "The Roach", "Footstompin'", "Mama Didn't Lie" and "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" are included in the Hairspray LP/CD, which are very much repsonsible for its 4* rating.

The only so-called weak tunes on this recording are the title track, "Hairspray" and "I Wish I Were A Princess".

where you can find the other 8 songs missing from cd.......2006-05-31

You can find the other 8 songs not on the cd at "Nina's discount records in New Jersey. I did.

Where's the rest?.......2006-04-27

I'd buy this CD in a second if it included all of the songs from the movie.

HIGH WATERS MARK.......2005-12-23

HAIRSPRAY-ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK: From outrageous cult director John Waters' most accessible comedy (starring none other than Ricki Lake, Divine, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry, and Jerry Stiller!), the audio companion to HAIRSPRAY is every bit as much grand, giddy fun as the fabulous flick, thanks to tastefully obscure song selections from the pre-Fab Four era of 60s pop and RNB. Gene Pitney's dramatic TOWN WITHOUT PITY and Barbara Lynn's YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING aside, near-forgotten classics such as Ray Bryant's swinging dance instruction tune THE MADISON TIME, the Five Du-Tones' funky frenzy SHAKE A TAIL FEATHER, and Little Peggy March's bubblegum lipsmacker I WISH I WERE A PRINCESS are crafty, blessedly abstract choices. Throw in the Ikettes' (Ike and Tina's backup singers) soul-saturated I'M BLUE (THE GONG GONG SONG), Brenda Lee-wannabe Rachel Sweet's kitschy title number, and not one, but TWO insect ditties (THE ROACH and THE BUG), and you've got a soundtrack that's pure dance nirvana. So tease yourself with HAIRSPRAY today! RATING: FIVE RAT TAIL COMBS

Exactly what I was shopping for.Great quality recording with a great selection of songs.Remember,don't buy from sellers who inflate the shipping prices,if we band together,we will make them stop ripping people off.

Ray is a shining Star.......2007-03-23

I was taking in from the beginning. Jamie Foxx has thoroughly reviewed the roll. Ray Charles has always been an inspiration and Jamie helped to shed the light.

disappointed.......2007-03-17

i was very disappointed because i bought the cd for the last track "georgia on my mind" which was sung with such passion and improvisation during the credits of the movie. i should have just reordered the dvd from netflix and played the end over and over.

Ray!.......2007-02-03

The Man and (some) of his music. He truly was a great artist! Five stars!

I absolutlely adore the songs, "The Night Time (Is The Right Time)", "Georgia On My Mind", "What I'd Say", "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Bye, Bye Love".

Composer, arranger, and producer Quincy Jones was a youthful veteran of pop, jazz, and r&b when he began creating film and television music in the late '60s, and he brought those lessons to bear on vivid, contemporary music that broke from Hollywood's dependence on conventional orchestration. Although not the first film composer to lean heavily on jazz, Jones was unusually versatile in effectively coupling jazz, blues, and soul accents as he did in the brooding, bluesy score for 1968's In The Heat Of The Night, a detective thriller starring Sidney Poitier, and noteworthy for a terrific main title song featuring Ray Charles. This double package adds the album to the film's sequel, but it's still the Night you'll want to savor. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews:

Very Grand.......2000-04-06

Quincy Jones&Ray Charles the Names Alone Speak Volumes.this Music Sounds Fantastic.Pure Genius All the Way Around.This Disc is a Classic&A Must.This is a Booming Disc.

"Mister Tibbs" is the thing........2000-03-31

For me, although "In the Heat of the Night" had a fine score, "They Call Me Mister Tibbs!" is the main attraction here. The "Main Title" is memorable, vintage Jones R&B/soul; "Soul Flower" is a mellow but swinging track that I can never listen to just once; and "Blues for Mister Tibbs" is a funky Hammond organ rendition of the title track. To me, Jones' work on this film is at least equal to Isaac Hayes' towering "Shaft." A must for anyone who appreciates Jones as a composer.

Great soundtrack, except for 3 vocal tracks.......2000-01-14

Vintage swinging-60s soundtracks with great instrumental tracks.

However, the vocal and country music tracks throw off the flow of the CD. Program out bumpkin tracks 10 (Bowlegged Polly) and 19 (Foul Owl) as well as terrible pseudo-swinging track 9 (It Sure is Groovy).

Classic techno fun.......2007-05-06

This CD brings back so many memories. It is filled with techo/dance music from the late 80's early 90's. If you like techno/house/dance club music then this is the perfect CD for you.

Real Cool Soundtrack.......2002-04-12

One of the first techno/electronica soundtracks to gain prominence was the soundtrack to Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, which garnered mixed reviews. I'm ambivalent about it myself today, but my love of the soundtrack has not diminished, but actually gained higher levels of appreciation.

David Bowie leads off with "Real Cool World" in yet another one of his chameleonic incarnations. Even though clocking in at over five minutes, its quick-beat techno rhythm is not prolonged agony. It's the next track, the Thompson Twins' "Play With Me," my favorite by the way, that is unlike anything Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie have ever done. Sure, they ruled with Here's To Future Days, but in terms of keeping with the thematic sound and feeling of the movie, this song succeeds admirably.

When are the Pet Shop Boys not the Pet Shop Boys? Answer: when Neil Tennant does lead vocals in "Disappointed," in his side project Electronic, also with Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr.

The hardest song is the Ministry's Psalm 69 song, "N.W.O." and that boosts the album as well. It's the next song, the Cult's "The Witch," which is unlike anything from the new-wavy Love or AC-DC crunch of Electric. There's an industrial buzzing punctuated by chords slightly reminiscent of Electric. Ian Astbury sounds muted by the fuzz and buzz of this song. Still worthwhile, though.

Moby contributes two songs here, "Ah Ah" and "Next Is The E." This is early Moby at his best, and his triple figure BPM and soul-tinged female vocalist is in its best in "Next Is The E."

"Do That Thang" out-kapow's "Next Is The E" in its energetic vivaciousness, hard guitar chords, funky vocals, electronic effects on overdrive chaos. I dare anyone to hear this song and not feel energized.

Sassy is the key with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, especially with the guitar crunchy "Sex On Wheelz," with its hard-driving vocals. "Her Sassy Kiss" is different, with whirly synthesizers and brassy inclusions.

The last three songs belong to the ambient category, with Pure's "Greedy," Brian Eno's "Under" and Tom Bailey's sexy and seductive "Industry And Seduction," complete with grinding metal on rock, whizzing sounds, sirens, light whips, and panting. "Under" brings about the contemplative image of staring at the stars, with the neon lights aglitter below in the never sleeping city from a high floor apartment window.

A case where the soundtrack is leagues more superior than the movie, and where the techno/industrial/ambient unity is achieved.

"Cool" Soundtrack........2002-03-06

I thought the movie was good, but this cd is great. It's pretty much a good sampler of early 90's electronica and industrial music. "David Bowie" starts with a song that's as good as anything he's done in the past 11 years. There's a couple early tracks from "Moby" that are sweet. The whole disc is suprisingly good, right to the last instrumental track, which jumps from speaker to speaker. But the real punch comes from "Ministry", "The Cult", and "My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult". Those three songs are awesome. If all soundtracks were this good, it really would be a "Cool World".

Bad movie, great soundtrack.......2001-02-18

Too often, great movies produce soundtrack albums that don't reflect the quality of the movies they come from. Sometimes, though, lousy movies have wonderful soundtracks that deserve to exist separately from the dreck that spawned them, and "Songs from The Cool World" is one such album. The movie it comes from might be weak, but the CD represents a terrific sampler of early technodance songs from the likes of Thompson Twins, Mindless, The Future Sound of London and, of course, the acknowledged master of techno, Moby; a couple of his earliest hits can be found here. There are also tunes from David Bowie (who does the lead track), Ministry and Brian Eno. My fave track, though, and the reason I bought the album in the first place, is "Sex on Wheelz," a fun, rowdy, nasty song that plays hard from beginning to end.

In short, this is a fun, varied, thoroughly danceable soundtrack CD that far exceeds the quality of the movie it's attached to. Skip "Cool World," but buy the album and dial it up.

Musical Ecstasty.......2000-04-15

This is a Must-Have soundtrack if you like New Wave, electronic/techno music - almost every song is outstanding. Especially cool tracks are Electronic's Disappointed (side project of New Order's Benard Sumner and Smith's Johnny Marr, guest vocals Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant), Moby's Ah-Ah, David Bowie's 'Real Cool World', & Future Sound of London's Papua New Guinea.

Customer Reviews:

A Great Must Have .......2005-12-29

Cabin in the Sky is an excellent, excellent black film. Very entertaining and a movie that projects the power of a conscience. I first saw Cabin in Sky on the AMC channel with my dad when I was 15 years old. I am now 32 years old and every time I watch the movie it is as if I am watching it for the first time. This is a great movie and I can't wait for the DVD version.

Perfectly remastered classic.......2001-09-18

I have to give this CD 5 stars since it provides americans the only chance to listen to the fine voice of Kenneth Spencer. It's worth buing the CD just for the one track he's singing.

Louis, Lena, Ethel, and Eddie in a classic.......2000-12-13

CABIN IN THE SKY is one of my favorite films, and the soundtrack does full justice to the score and the performers. 5 extended versions and 4 outtakes are welcome additions to this entertaining CD. The combination of jazz and inspirational tunes surpisingly come together very harmoniously in this mixture of fantasy and reality. The sound quality is fine, though a stereo remix was not possible. From the opening "Lil' Black Sheep" to "Taking a Chance on Love" the score is full of gems and anyone who loves musicals will be inspired by this soundtrack.

INCREDIBLE SOUNDTRACK.......1999-07-31

Duke Ellington, Ethel Waters & Lena Horne, what else could a musical ask for. Three giants of jazz & blues,who show us a small portion of their great indvidual talents on this soundtrack.

Duke Ellington's , Going Up, Lena's version of Ain't it the Truth, and the wonderful swinging vocals of Ethel Waters. One of the african-american divas that was there when blues and jazz started, and one of the earliest to be recorded. Makes you wonder why more musicals were not made with these great artists.Reccommend also all of Miss Waters recordings reissued on the Classics Label from 1921-1940. This cd is a must for anyone interested in jazz or blues.
