Ray Charles In The History of Rock 'N' Roll (1995)

The clip below comes from one of many pop music anthologies that have come into fashion since the 1980s.
The History of Rock 'N' Roll (1995), a TV documentary series, written and directed by Andrew Solt, produced by Time-Warner belongs to the better examples. The content, as usual with this format category, consists of fragments of archival performances, and new statements - all by and about the usual suspects, including Ray Charles. But the songs are well chosen, and the interviewees all know what they talk about.
Ray got proper attention (also as an interviewee) in the episodes titled Sounds Of Soul, and The Rock 'n' Roll Explodes.
