sorry if this is a dumb sounding question. I'm not sure. Did Jamie Foxx lipsynch to Ray Charles?
Also, did Jamie Foxx do any piano playing? Is it his playing heard in the film? Is it Jamie Foxx singing or Ray Charles or a mixture? Does anyone of you sweet folks out there know? Please post soon. thanks much:)

Posted: 3/19/05 at 9:40pmIt is a combination of sound clips from Charles performing, and Foxx performing.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 3/19/05 at 9:41pmI believe Jamie played all of the piano but lip-synched to most of Charles' vocals. He did do bits and pieces himself, though.

Posted: 3/20/05 at 12:10amNo, he lip-synched.....since this wasn't a "true" musical, but rather a biographical movie about Ray Charles, I think it's okay since you can't beat the real thing....
