    Yes, I've seen that movie. Jamie Foxx did an excellent job. He is a classically trained pianist and actually played in the movie, but he said he had to practice a lot to get Ray Charles' technique.

    I had no idea Fox was a classic pianist. And yes he did a good k=job playing Charles.

    I mistakenly thought he sung in the movie, too, but he did not. He lip-synched Mr. Charles.

    I had to make many corrections to these lyrics. The folks that publish them are often careless.



    Of all of the people that I used to know
    Most never adjusted to the great big world
    I see 'em lurking in book stores
    Working for the Public Radio
    Carrying babies around in a sack on their back
    Moving careful and slow
    • It's money that matters
      Hear what I say
      It's money that matters
      In the USA

      All of these people are much brighter than I
      In any fair system they would flourish and thrive
      But they barely survive
      They eke out a living
    • They barely survive

      When I was a young boy, maybe thirteen
      I took a hard look around me and asked what does it mean?
      So I talked to my father
    • He didn't know
      I talked to my friend
    • He didn't know
      I talked to my brother
    • He didn't know
      I talked to everybody that I knew

      It's money that matters
      Now you know that it's true
      It's money that matters
      Whatever you do

      Then I talked to a man lived up on the county line
      I was washing his car with a friend of mine
      He was a little fat guy in a red jumpsuit
      I said "That looks kind of funny"
      He said "I know it does too"

      "But I got a great big house on the hill here
      And a great big blonde wife inside it
      And a great big pool in my backyard and another great big pool beside it
      Sonny it's money that matters, hear what I say
      It's money that matters in the USA
      It's money that matters
      Now you know that it's true
      It's money that matters whatever you do.

    The first record I purchased was from these guys in 1962, a 45 for $.99 in.
