00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:32,687
25 percent.

177
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:34,092
But I'll be gettin' you
other gigs.

178
00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:37,066
All right,
next question: What do I get?

179
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:39,099
What do you need?

180
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:42,071
Double scale as leader,
plus 10 percent.

181
00:10:43,709 --> 00:10:44,733
What about the 'Bama?

182
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:47,311
He's about as green
as a blade of grass.

183
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:49,613
I can handle him.

184
00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:51,114
# Flagstaff, Arizona #

185
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:54,544
# Kingman, Barstow #

186
00:10:54,687 --> 00:10:56,177
So, Gossie,
you don't need to worry

187
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:57,789
about a hotel room
for the 'Bama.

188
00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,852
He can flop at my place.

189
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,723
Hey, y'all never change.

190
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:06,762
# Get your kicks
on Route sixty-six ##

191
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:12,097
(Marlene)
Ray, you coming back to bed?

192
00:11:14,306 --> 00:11:15,034
I'm getting some water.

193
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:18,007
I can see that,
but mama ain't finished yet.

194
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:20,642
(Oberon)
For the first time anywhere,

195
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,715
let's hear it
for The McSon Trio!

196
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:26,182
# A buzzard took the monkey
for a ride in the air #

197
00:11:26,318 --> 00:11:29,344
# The monkey thought that
everything was on the square #

198
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:30,883
(Marlene)
Ray, when you
coming out?

199
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:32,217
In a minute.

200
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:36,158
Mama's got some more
blackberry cobbler
for you, baby.

201
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:37,920
Damn.

202
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:39,257
[people chattering]

203
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:42,027
# Straighten up
and fly right #

204
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:44,796
# Cool down, papa,
don't you blow your top ##

205
00:11:45,938 --> 00:11:48,600
[all cheering]

206
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,778
(Ray)
Marlene, if you're gonna
send us out on tour,

207
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,644
we're gonna need
more than $5 a day.

208
00:11:57,783 --> 00:11:59,774
How come we can't get paid
after each gig?

209
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:01,816
Because you boys will spend
everything you make.

210
00:12:01,954 --> 00:12:04,787
The club sends the checks
to me, so as I can bank them.

211
00:12:04,924 --> 00:12:07,256
I just want to see
my own checks, that's all.

212
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:10,191
You don't see, Ray.
You're blind, baby.

213
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:11,956
Or did you forget?

214
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:16,062
Now, you want to go out
on your own
and see how well you do?

215
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,838
(Quincy)
Ray! Hey, Marlene,
where's Ray?

216
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:29,846
(Marlene)
He's in the back bedroom.
And wipe your feet.

217
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,817
[gasps]

218
00:12:35,788 --> 00:12:39,724
Ray, uh, six-nine,
where you at?
Six-nine. Six-nine.

219
00:12:39,859 --> 00:12:40,860
[panting]

220
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,192
Lionel Hampton just asked me
to go on the road
with him, man!

221
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:44,819
Lionel Hampton, man!

222
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:46,866
Sure he did.
Then why you still here?

223
00:12:46,866 --> 00:12:50,903
And dig this:
His wife, she kicked me off
the tour bus.

224
00:12:50,903 --> 00:12:53,872
Told me to come back
when I started shaving.
You believe that?

225
00:12:54,406 --> 00:12:56,874
Uh... uh, Seven-oh, could you
do me a favor, man,
and close that bag for me?

226
00:12:57,009 --> 00:12:59,273
What's wrong?
You got two hands.
You can close it yourself.

227
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:01,106
I got two feet, too.
Could you close it?

228
00:13:01,247 --> 00:13:03,772
[chuckling]
I got it.

229
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:06,384
Excuse me, sir!

230
00:13:07,887 --> 00:13:09,980
Man, we're gonna be late.

231
00:13:10,489 --> 00:13:13,322
I got to get
my own place, Gossie.

232
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:16,996
Why? I mean,
you got free rent right now.

233
00:13:16,996 --> 00:13:18,896
Like hell it's free rent.

234
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:21,927
[laughing]

235
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:24,262
Oh, come on, Ray.

236
00:13:24,403 --> 00:13:26,234
Why you gonna mess
with a good thing?

237
00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:28,806
All I'm saying is you keep
layin' that pipe with Marlene,

238
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:30,806
and I bet you she's gonna
make us all rich.

239
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:32,706
Hey, sir, excuse me!

240
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:35,412
[people chattering]

241
00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:40,812
# Straighten up
and fly right #

242
00:13:41,787 --> 00:13:43,982
# Straighten up
and stay right #

243
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:46,387
# Straighten up
and fly right #

244
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:47,856
# Cool down, papa #

245
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:52,794
# Don't you blow your top ##

246
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:57,059
[all cheering]

00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:59,767
[man whistling]

248
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:01,873
(Oberon)
Just back from their
triumphant tour

249
00:14:02,007 --> 00:14:05,135
of the Yakima Valley,
The McSon Trio!

250
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:06,946
They'll be back right here,

251
00:14:06,946 --> 00:14:09,141
same time, same place,
next week.

252
00:14:09,281 --> 00:14:11,010
[people chattering]

253
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,949
Hey, baby, you sound
more like Nat
than the King himself.

254
00:14:19,491 --> 00:14:19,923
What's your name?

255
00:14:20,059 --> 00:14:21,026
Ray Robinson.

256
00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:22,385
Ray Robinson?

257
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,996
I'm Jack Lauderdale,
Swing Time Records.

258
00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:27,997
Oh, hey... hey, hey, Jack!
How you doing, man?

259
00:14:28,133 --> 00:14:29,259
Good.
Oh, good.

260
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:30,959
How about us makin'
a record together?

261
00:14:31,103 --> 00:14:33,094
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Hell, yeah! Let's do that.

262
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:34,365
Can I help you?

263
00:14:34,506 --> 00:14:35,473
I don't think so.

264
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,977
We're just talking
a little business.

265
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:41,071
Then you need to talk to me,
'cause I'm his manager.

266
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,015
Whichever way
the wind blows.

267
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,073
It's blowing.

268
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:45,911
Jack Lauderdale,
Swing Time Records.

269
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:47,848
Marlene Andres.
Marlene?

270
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,215
(Gossie)
Gossie McGee.
Gossie McGee.

271
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:50,481
Great set, baby.

272
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:52,523
We're going to talk
with Mr. Lauderdale here.

273
00:14:52,858 --> 00:14:53,916
Come on, Jack.
I'm buying.

274
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:55,424
I'm coming in, uh,
to talk to him.

275
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:57,552
You are doing
a fabulous job!

276
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:58,864
Yes, man.

277
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:00,932
Eh, look, let's talk to him
about this record.

278
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:03,035
Hey, no, no, we're gonna
let Marlene handle that.

279
00:15:03,035 --> 00:15:05,037
You get Oberon
to call you a cab, all right.

280
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:06,527
(man)
Great set, Ray.

281
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,067
Goss!

282
00:15:10,075 --> 00:15:11,007
(Oberon)
Hey, daddy-o, want a smoke?

283
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:13,544
I got some gage,
fresh off the boat.

284
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:15,073
It's clean and seedless.

285
00:15:15,214 --> 00:15:17,182
So that's how it is, huh?

286
00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:20,452
You keep me high
while they talk the business?

287
00:15:20,452 --> 00:15:22,920
I ain't the one
playing you, man.

288
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:24,913
Oberon, listen...

289
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:30,119
You know, Marlene and Gossie
are the ones running
the game on you, Ray.

290
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,598
They sliced up the pie
the first night you played.

291
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,400
35 percent off the top.

292
00:15:35,534 --> 00:15:37,502
Plus Gossie's
double scale as leader.

293
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:41,465
I'm the one
that's the leader.

294
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:43,303
Forget the bo' humps.
You know what?

295
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:44,932
l... I'm... I'm gonna go
my own way.

296
00:15:45,077 --> 00:15:46,874
Who's gonna
book your gigs?

297
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:48,910
Marlene's got you locked up.

298
00:15:49,048 --> 00:15:51,573
And she ain't gonna give up
her golden goose.

299
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,385
# Straighten up
and fly right #

300
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,988
# Cool down, papa,
don't you blow your top ##

301
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:59,249
Hey, Ray Robinson,
you are fantastic.

302
00:16:00,225 --> 00:16:02,455
There you go.
Give me some skin.

303
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:05,153
(Ray)
What's that?

304
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:06,389
Jack's card.

305
00:16:06,565 --> 00:16:08,590
I got his number
at the hotel.

306
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:11,197
##[trumpet playing]

307
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:16,373
(Ray)
Come on, Q.
It's not that complicated.

308
00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:17,975
Now let's just play it again.

309
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:19,873
That's a B flat,
C 7, scale it up,

310
00:16:20,012 --> 00:16:21,877
and triple it off
the back end.

311
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,139
Yeah, nigger!
Yeah, that's it.

312
00:16:27,953 --> 00:16:30,945
Ray, what did I tell you
about cookin' in the dark?

313
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:32,489
Are you tryin'
to burn the house down?

314
00:16:32,624 --> 00:16:35,092
Think about it, Marlene.
Uh... uh, What do I need
the light for?

315
00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:37,161
Well, you don't need
to be cookin' anyway.

316
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:38,561
We brought you
takeout from Oscar's.

317
00:16:38,697 --> 00:16:39,891
Well, get your money back.

318
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:41,124
I got fried chicken
right here.

319
00:16:41,266 --> 00:16:42,494
Come on, Seven-oh,
try this.

320
00:16:42,634 --> 00:16:44,067
(Quincy)
Yeah! About time.

321
00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:47,934
Hey, that's home-cooked,
right there.

322
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,108
Mmm, no, thank you.

323
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:50,439
This chicken
is the mostest, huh.

324
00:16:50,576 --> 00:16:52,976
Just needs a little hot sauce
and it'll be perfect.

325
00:16:53,112 --> 00:16:55,080
Yeah. So, what did
Jack Lauderdale have to say?

326
00:16:55,314 --> 00:16:56,542
Oh, I clocked him
comin' out the gate.

327
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,081
He's a two-bit hustler.

328
00:16:58,317 --> 00:16:59,113
Oh, I see.

329
00:16:59,251 --> 00:17:01,913
Yeah, turns out the only hit
that Swing Time ever had

330
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:04,123
was Open the Door, Richard,
which was a joke record.

331
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:06,114
Uh... uh... uh, what about him
recordin' me?

332
00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:08,353
Oh, he'll record you,
if we pay the freight.

333
00:17:08,594 --> 00:17:10,152
Scratch a liar,
find a thief.

334
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:12,991
What's that
supposed to mean?

335
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:14,064
This.

336
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:16,694
(Ray)
You see I saw
Jack Lauderdale tonight,

337
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:19,004
and he gave me a $500
advance on my record.

338
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:21,129
He also said he'll put me
on the road with Lowell Fulson

339
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:22,934
and pay me three times
what you pay.

340
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:24,133
Now, that's a lie!

341
00:17:24,676 --> 00:17:27,440
Hey, no way he's not gonna
put some blind man
on the road. Think about it.

342
00:17:27,579 --> 00:17:29,444
I mean, you... you need
watchin' out for.

343
00:17:29,581 --> 00:17:31,947
And he ain't got the time
to look after you
the way I do.

344
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:34,245
Is that what
you've been doing, Gossie?
Watchin' out for me?

345
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,183
Is that why you get
paid double what I do?

346
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,087
Who told you that?

347
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:40,159
It's true, ain't it?

348
00:17:40,159 --> 00:17:42,093
You two have been
gaming me since I got here.

349
00:17:42,227 --> 00:17:44,127
Ray, baby, listen...
I ain't listening to you!

350
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:46,595
Ray, I've... I've been
meaning to talk to you
about that.

351
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,723
Then why aren't you talkin'?

352
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:53,331
Um, look, Ray, Ray,
let's not do nothin' stupid.

353
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:55,167
I might be blind,
but I ain't stupid!

354
00:17:55,307 --> 00:17:57,138
Q., get my bag
from upstairs.

355
00:17:57,376 --> 00:17:58,138
What?
Get it!

356
00:17:58,277 --> 00:17:59,710
Wha... right now?
Now.

357
00:18:00,045 --> 00:18:02,240

through a whole lot.

Ray, now wait a minute.
I can explain everything.

359
00:18:05,184 --> 00:18:07,015
(Gossie)
Think about what you're doing.

360
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:08,744
Ray, Ray, now you're makin'
a big mistake.

That clown is spoutin'
promises that he can't keep.

You'd be a fool
to follow him.

363
00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:14,193
Ray, Ray,
we'll make a new deal!

00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:15,251
Whatever makes you happy!

365
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:17,259
The deal is
you can lay the pipe now.

00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:20,763
You'll break your neck
going down these stairs
by yourself. Hang on.

do nothing like that, man.

have you lost your mind?

00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:55,528
Eula, you promised to split
every wash basket with me,
fair and square!

378

And I did!

379

(Aretha)
Hell, you did!

You charge white folks
one thing and pay me another.

00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:01,534
Now who's gonna
wash these?

Y'all got to learn

for people like that.

Sugar Ray got the Robinson

Ray Charles,

Ow! Damn! I'm gonna use that
on the album cover.

He's really
the sensation.

l... I love your music,
Mr. Fulson.

Uh, the man's got taste.

Hey, and the man ain't
been on the road

423

to rehearse the band.

These are some
lazy-ass bastards,

that they don't slough off.

until he feels like
comin' out.

515
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:42,631
All right, damn you.

516
00:26:44,836 --> 00:26:46,929
$284, $285...

517
00:26:47,072 --> 00:26:49,836
Listen, man, I ain't
no damn seein'-eye dog.

518
00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:53,536
# You know
ain't nobody worried
about me #

519
00:26:54,980 --> 00:27:00,646
# I don't see nobody,
nobody cryin' ##

520
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:02,686
[people chattering]

521
00:27:07,225 --> 00:27:09,056
Fathead, open up. Open up.
I got to take a leak.

522
00:27:09,194 --> 00:27:10,821
[men chattering]

523
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,860
Hey, what you doing, man?
Close the door, Fat!

524
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:17,600
Say, Ray, we'll be in here
for a little while.

525
00:27:17,736 --> 00:27:20,261
Use the women's can,
down there on your right.

526
00:27:20,605 --> 00:27:21,902
I don't want to use
the women's can.

527
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,007
This way.

528
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:24,130
[door closes]

529
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:25,674
[men chattering]

530
00:27:35,887 --> 00:27:37,616
[men chattering]

531
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:42,725
[grunts]

532
00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:44,123
Oh, God!

533
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:46,927
Say, Ray,
you all right?

534
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:49,827
Yeah, I must have slipped
on the wet.

535
00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:50,992
There's a pipe broke.

536
00:27:51,136 --> 00:27:52,771
There's water everywhere.
You see it?

537
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:54,864
(Jimmy)
Let's go, man.
Close the door.

538
00:27:55,807 --> 00:27:56,068
All right,
quit playing, Ray.

539
00:27:56,207 --> 00:27:58,777
We'll be in here a while.
Now go on now!

540
00:27:58,777 --> 00:27:59,835
[door closes]

541
00:28:00,245 --> 00:28:01,735
[men chattering]

542
00:28:07,719 --> 00:28:09,154
(Ray)
North Florida.

543
00:28:09,154 --> 00:28:10,781
Oh, North Florida boy.

544
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:12,281
Your people
still down there?

545
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:13,783
No.

546
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:15,917
(Jeff)
All right.

547
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:17,957
Hey, uh, pardon me
for askin',

548
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:19,927
but how do you
get around so good

549
00:28:20,065 --> 00:28:21,896
without a cane
or a dog?

550
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:25,769
How do you get around so good
without a cane or dog?

551
00:28:26,237 --> 00:28:27,761
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.

552
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:31,933
My ears got to be
my eyes, man. Its...

553
00:28:32,811 --> 00:28:34,005
Everything sounds different.

554
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:36,136
You know that's why
I wear hard-soled shoes,

555
00:28:36,281 --> 00:28:38,215
so I can hear my footsteps
echo off the wall.

556
00:28:38,349 --> 00:28:41,716
So when I pass by
an open doorway,
the sound changes.

557
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:43,012
Wow. That's cool.

558
00:28:43,755 --> 00:28:47,088
You know you got to learn
pretty quick if you want
to get around on your own.

559
00:28:47,225 --> 00:28:48,283
Yeah.

560
00:28:48,993 --> 00:28:51,188
You know, during the war,
there was a whole lot

561
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:53,661
I had to learn fast,
or I wouldn't be here.

562
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:58,626
Seein' that much death
ain't natural.

563
00:29:00,371 --> 00:29:02,839
Yeah, seein' death
ain't natural.

564
00:29:04,442 --> 00:29:06,239
[cow mooing]

565
00:29:07,178 --> 00:29:09,112
Boys, get from
'round that still.

566
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:10,771
Y'all know
better than that.

567
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:12,075
Come on, catch me.

568
00:29:12,217 --> 00:29:13,115
[chuckling]

569
00:29:17,489 --> 00:29:19,821
Stay from 'round this fire
and get clean.

570
00:29:20,024 --> 00:29:21,286
Dinner will be ready soon.

571
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:22,859
Hear me, Ray?

572
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:25,885
I got you.
I got you.

573
00:29:26,030 --> 00:29:27,327
No, you didn't.
You missed me.

574
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,932
Stop cheatin', Ray.

575
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:31,391
Okay, you got me.

576
00:29:31,736 --> 00:29:33,203
But I got you back.

577
00:29:33,338 --> 00:29:34,999
I'm not playin' no more.

578
00:29:35,306 --> 00:29:36,432
Sissy!

579
00:29:38,209 --> 00:29:40,700
(George)
Come on, Ray.
Let's go swimmin'.

580
00:29:42,947 --> 00:29:45,211
Let's go swim
in Mama's washtub.

581
00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:48,343
Ray, come on, Ray,
play with me.

582
00:29:48,887 --> 00:29:50,912
You better get down
before Mama sees you.

583
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:52,252
I'm a giant!

584
00:29:53,224 --> 00:29:54,282
[chuckling]

585
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:57,860
Some giant.

586
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:01,966
Come on, George.
I ain't playin' this game.

587
00:30:03,401 --> 00:30:04,299
That ain't funny.

588
00:30:04,936 --> 00:30:06,304
[rooster crowing]

589
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:08,898
Boys, I got some field peas
and rice cooking.

590
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,770
And there's that smothered
corn left from yesterday.

591
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:15,846
And if you're real good,
I might have two pieces
of peach cobbler.

592
00:30:16,447 --> 00:30:19,075
Ray, didn't I tell you
to get in this house?

593
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:24,078
Dear God, no!

594
00:30:24,989 --> 00:30:26,820
[man shouting]

595
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:31,490
(Aretha)
Breathe, baby, breathe.

596
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:34,958
Just breathe, baby, breathe.
Let it out!

597
00:30:35,099 --> 00:30:37,035
Let it out, please!

598
00:30:37,035 --> 00:30:38,332
(man)
Breathe for your mama, now.

599
00:30:38,469 --> 00:30:39,936
Come on, George.

600
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:42,097
Why didn't you do somethin'?

601
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:44,034
Why didn't you call me?

602
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:47,276
(woman)
Help us, Lord!

603
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:48,970
The Lord done took him home.

604
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:51,237
[woman screaming]

605
00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:57,481
[tires screeching]

606
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:00,324
(Wilbur)
All right.

607
00:31:00,491 --> 00:31:02,857
Food and piss stop.
Open it up.

608
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:08,863
The food is hot.
You've got 45 minutes.

609
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:11,135
I could eat a horse.
Where's it?

610
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,304
Follow your nose.
Right over there.

611
00:31:14,072 --> 00:31:15,130
Wilbur.

612
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:16,262
(Wilbur)
What?

613
00:31:16,407 --> 00:31:18,841
45 minutes
ain't enough time.

614
00:31:18,977 --> 00:31:20,205
We need more
than that, Jack.

615
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:22,013
Not to eat,
you don't.

616
00:31:22,013 --> 00:31:24,038
Now if you got other business,
you better choose,

617
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:25,843
because this bus
is rollin' on time.

618
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:28,953
Come on, Mercedes got
a washroom in the back.

619
00:31:29,354 --> 00:31:32,346
And you,
you can smell it.

620
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:34,558
Jeff.

621
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:35,825
Yes, sir?

622
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,949
Uh, could you help me
in there?

623
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:38,426
Sure thing, Ray.

624
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:39,530
(Wilbur)
Hey, Mercedes.

625
00:31:39,864 --> 00:31:42,389
Hey, baby.
I hope you wiped your feet
before you came in here.

626
00:31:42,533 --> 00:31:44,035
There you go. Come on.
Take that.

627
00:31:44,035 --> 00:31:46,060
The bathroom's right there
in front of you.

628
00:31:47,005 --> 00:31:47,071
You want me
to fix you a plate?

629
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:49,567
Uh, no, I'm... I'm fine.

630
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:51,031
All right.

631
00:31:51,175 --> 00:31:52,972
Sweet potato pie it is.

632
00:31:54,479 --> 00:31:55,537
(Jimmy)
Whoo, let's go, man.

633
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,370
That was a long
bus ride, wasn't it?

634
00:31:57,515 --> 00:31:58,539
Oh, come on, man.

635
00:31:58,883 --> 00:32:01,909
Hey, man!
The can's down the hall.

636
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:03,850
I know where the can is.
What y'all doing?

637
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:05,353
Do yourself a favor
and leave.

638
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:07,287
I'll leave when
I'm gettin' ready to leave.

639
00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:09,027
Come on, Fathead,
I want in.

640
00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:10,858
This ain't no weed, Ray.

641
00:32:11,062 --> 00:32:12,927
And we ain't
snorting no bitch.

642
00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:14,031
This is boy.

643
00:32:14,165 --> 00:32:16,565
Boy'll make your ass
null and void.

644
00:32:16,901 --> 00:32:18,232
So get on out of here, man.

645
00:32:18,369 --> 00:32:20,132
Null and void,
just like my life.

646
00:32:20,271 --> 00:32:22,034
I'll be right at home.

647
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:23,598
Look, I ain't gonna
wait all night.

648
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:25,374
Hell, it's his funeral, man.

649
00:32:27,512 --> 00:32:29,480
Ray, let's go get
something to eat.

650
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,138
I'll leave
when I get a taste.

651
00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:32,408
Ray, what you gonna do, man?

652
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,052
This train's pullin' out,
brother.

653
00:32:34,052 --> 00:32:36,020
I ain't having nothin'
to do with this.

654
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:37,585
I warned you, Ray.
Come on, man.

655
00:32:37,922 --> 00:32:39,048
I been warned.

656
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:40,182
Sit down, Ray. Right there.

657
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:41,986
I'm gonna take you
on a little ride.

658
00:32:42,126 --> 00:32:44,526
It'll cost you, though.
You got some cash?

659
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:46,027
Will this do?

660
00:32:47,065 --> 00:32:47,997
That'll do.

661
00:32:50,101 --> 00:32:52,126
Where you been?
Where them other fools?

662
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:53,433
Come on,
get it while it's hot!

663
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:57,132
(Jimmy)
You're going to feel
a little pinch.

664
00:33:00,078 --> 00:33:01,409
I ain't givin'
up on you, boy.

665
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:04,376
(Jimmy)
Feel it, baby?

666
00:33:05,616 --> 00:33:07,345
Just take the ride.

667
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:10,316
It's better than sex.

668
00:33:10,955 --> 00:33:13,014
There ain't nothin'
better than sex.

669
00:33:18,529 --> 00:33:20,554
# We will walk #

670
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:25,601

693
00:35:10,341 --> 00:35:13,310
Ray, come on, let me put
this salve on I got
from Dr. McLeod.

694
00:35:13,444 --> 00:35:15,105
No, I don't like it.
It stings.

695
00:35:15,246 --> 00:35:16,440
Boy, get up here.

696
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:20,114
I paid a whole dollar for it.
It better work.

697
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:22,479
Now hold up your head,
like the doctor says.

698
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:24,520
This is gonna
make you feel better.

[thunder rumbling]
And stop rubbin' those eyes.

702
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:47,478
Ray, I won't beat around
the bush with you.

703
00:35:47,612 --> 00:35:48,806
You're goin' blind.

704
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:52,241
The doctor's sayin'
there's nothing they can do,
so we got to do it ourselves.

705
00:35:52,383 --> 00:35:53,372
Yes, ma'am, I know, but...

706
00:35:53,518 --> 00:35:54,416
Stop it.

707
00:35:54,552 --> 00:35:56,247
Stop it right now.

708
00:35:56,754 --> 00:35:58,244
We ain't got no time
for no tears.

709
00:35:58,756 --> 00:35:59,780
Ain't nobody gonna
have no pity on you

710
00:36:00,124 --> 00:36:01,292
just 'cause
you're goin' blind.

711
00:36:01,292 --> 00:36:02,384
Now wipe them eyes.

712
00:36:02,527 --> 00:36:04,051
Yes, ma'am.

713
00:36:06,130 --> 00:36:08,299
Okay, I'll show you
how to do something once.

714
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:10,062
I'll help you
if you mess up twice.

715
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:11,634
But the third time,
you're on your own,

716
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:14,260
'cause that's the way
it is in the world.

717
00:36:14,772 --> 00:36:15,636
All right,
now get up.

718
00:36:17,542 --> 00:36:20,705
Remember, you goin' blind,
but you ain't stupid.

719
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,370
Remember how many stairs
there were?

720
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:25,777
Four.

721
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:29,353
Good. You're gonna
have to learn
how to use your memory.

722
00:36:29,487 --> 00:36:30,579
Now turn around.

723
00:36:30,721 --> 00:36:32,586
I want you
to hold out your hands,

724
00:36:32,723 --> 00:36:35,590
and use them as your eyes,
and find the door.

725
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:39,830
Good.
That's real good, baby.

This fool makes one record,

Well, he's got somethin',
ain't he?

His wax won't
even hit the charts.

No, man, she's fine.
She's fine.
You leave her alone.

You see that?

744
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:01,407
He feels her wrist
'cause he figures

745
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:03,573
that's the way to tell
if she's good-looking or not.

to Null and Void?

You're just gonna

What's the matter with you,

$50 ain't good enough for you?

768

That ain't $50. Keep counting.

769
00:39:20,558 --> 00:39:23,823

of yours ain't selling.

Shut up, Wilbur!
Ray, from now on,
I'll handle your pay myself.

It's cold out there.

a moment of your time?

I'm sorry.
I'll come back later.

You're here now.
What do you want?

803
00:40:42,706 --> 00:40:44,765
My company, Atlantic Records,
has acquired

804

from Swing Time.

to discuss your future.

You see, Mr. Charles,

809
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:01,516
Jack Lauderdale
has found himself,

810
00:41:02,593 --> 00:41:03,582
shall we say,
a little overextended,

811
00:41:04,094 --> 00:41:06,824
and has had to
unload some of his talent.

812
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:08,864
When your name
came up, I jumped at

813
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:10,864
the chance to work with you.
I'm a big fan.

814
00:41:11,001 --> 00:41:12,832
What if I want to go
to another company?

815
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:15,530
There's a guy out there
right now that is willing
to pay me

816
00:41:15,739 --> 00:41:17,764
seven cents a record.
Can you do that?

817
00:41:18,209 --> 00:41:20,939
Man, I could promise you
15 cents a record,

818
00:41:21,846 --> 00:41:25,407
but you won't get it
any more than
he'll pay you seven.

819
00:41:27,017 --> 00:41:30,111
What I will do
is promise you
five cents a record

820
00:41:30,554 --> 00:41:32,579
and pay you five cents
a record.

821
00:41:33,624 --> 00:41:36,616
If you think pennies,
Mr. Charles, you get pennies.

You think dollars,

823
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:41,829
you get dollars.

things together, man.

Well, you know what?

I guess
Jack Lauderdale's bad luck
is my good fortune.

00:43:27,171 --> 00:43:30,504
not because you sound like
Nat Cole or Charles Brown.

861
00:43:30,641 --> 00:43:32,199
I thought you like what I do.

862
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:34,208
We... we love the timbre
of your voice,

863
00:43:34,345 --> 00:43:36,711
we like your virtuosity,
your energy...

864
00:43:37,214 --> 00:43:37,839
But not my music.

865
00:43:37,982 --> 00:43:39,540
Come on, man,
I didn't say that.

866
00:43:39,917 --> 00:43:41,885
Ahmet, this is what I do, man.

867
00:43:42,019 --> 00:43:44,078
I gotta make a living.
This is what the people want.

868
00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:45,745
I don't know no other way.

869
00:43:45,889 --> 00:43:47,754
We got to help you find one.

870
00:43:48,759 --> 00:43:49,953
Look, let's try a little
change of pace, okay?

871
00:43:50,094 --> 00:43:51,618
You're familiar
with stride piano?

872
00:43:51,762 --> 00:43:54,788
You kidding me, man?
The man who I learned the
piano from is a stride player.

873
00:43:54,932 --> 00:43:57,901
Okay, I got a song.
It's called The Mess Around.

874
00:43:58,035 --> 00:43:59,798
The Mess Around.
Cute title. Who wrote it?

875
00:43:59,937 --> 00:44:01,268
I did.

876
00:44:01,772 --> 00:44:02,932
Ah, you wrote it.

877
00:44:03,073 --> 00:44:04,005
Yeah.

878
00:44:04,675 --> 00:44:05,767
Well, sing it to me, man.

879
00:44:06,110 --> 00:44:07,202
Sing it?
Yeah.

880
00:44:07,344 --> 00:44:08,936
It ain't like
I can read the lyrics.

881
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:11,749
Okay.
Well, it's the key of G.

882
00:44:11,749 --> 00:44:13,114
Okay. Key of G.

883
00:44:13,250 --> 00:44:14,182
##[piano playing]

884
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:15,250
Uh-huh.

885
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,052
Yeah.

886
00:44:17,287 --> 00:44:20,051
Yeah, but it's a kind of
Pete Johnson thing.

887
00:44:20,224 --> 00:44:21,714
Pete Johnson.

888
00:44:23,394 --> 00:44:24,986
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

889
00:44:25,162 --> 00:44:27,153
You like that?
Here we go. Two, three, four.

890
00:44:27,297 --> 00:44:30,733
# You can talk
about the pit barbecue #

891
00:44:30,934 --> 00:44:32,834
# The band was jumpin',
the people, too #

892
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:34,904
# They're doin'
the mess around #

893
00:44:35,806 --> 00:44:37,774
# They're doin'

# They're doin'

00:44:41,278 --> 00:44:42,780
# Everybody doin'
the mess around ##

896
00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:44,873
All right, that's good.
Let me take it from here.

897
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:48,712
# Now this band's gonna
play from nine to one #

898
00:44:48,852 --> 00:44:51,184
# Everybody here's gonna
have some fun #

899
00:44:51,355 --> 00:44:53,050
# Doin' the mess around #

900
00:44:53,891 --> 00:44:56,052
# Ah, doin' the mess around #

901
00:44:58,295 --> 00:44:59,853
# They doin' the mess around #

902
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:02,055
# Everybody doin'
the mess around #

903
00:45:04,268 --> 00:45:07,897
# Now you see that girl
with that diamond ring #

904
00:45:08,338 --> 00:45:11,068
# She knows
how to shake that thing #

905
00:45:11,809 --> 00:45:13,071
# Mess around #

906
00:45:13,977 --> 00:45:15,808
# I declare
she can mess around #

907
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:18,942
# Ah, mess around #

908
00:45:19,416 --> 00:45:22,749
# Everybody do
the mess around ##

909
00:45:27,858 --> 00:45:29,325
Now we got something!

910
00:45:29,460 --> 00:45:30,893
That's all right there.

911
00:45:32,463 --> 00:45:33,862
(Ray)
What do you think, Ahmet?

912
00:45:34,898 --> 00:45:35,956
Unbelievable!

913
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:37,124
Who's that?

914
00:45:38,202 --> 00:45:40,329
Ray, I want you to meet
my new partner, Jerry.

915
00:45:40,704 --> 00:45:42,001
Mr. Ray Charles,
Jerry Wexler.

916
00:45:42,139 --> 00:45:43,071
Hey.

917
00:45:43,207 --> 00:45:46,199
Don't worry, Ray.
I'm going to step back,
I'm gonna watch,

918
00:45:46,343 --> 00:45:48,903
I'm gonna learn
how to produce a record.
I'm in awe.

919
00:45:50,114 --> 00:45:51,843
That's some running
and riffing, man!

920
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:53,843
Well,
this'll make you shout, man.

921
00:45:53,984 --> 00:45:55,747
##[piano playing]

922
00:46:02,025 --> 00:46:04,862
(King Bee)
We're listening to that
new recording, Mess Around

923
00:46:04,862 --> 00:46:07,092
by Atlantic recording artist,
Ray Charles.

924
00:46:07,231 --> 00:46:10,860
And we have the gentleman
live here in the KCOH studios.

925
00:46:11,368 --> 00:46:13,802
So, Ray, when you're not
making your own music,
what do you listen to?

926
00:46:13,937 --> 00:46:17,737
You know what, the fact is,
King Bee, I really
and truly love gospel.

927
00:46:17,875 --> 00:46:20,708
One of my favorite groups
is from right here in Houston:

928
00:46:20,844 --> 00:46:22,436
the Cecil Shaw Singers.

929
00:46:22,913 --> 00:46:26,178
You heard it:
Ray Charles endorses
Houston's own Cecil Shaw.

930
00:46:26,316 --> 00:46:28,181
We'll be playing
gospel all day Sunday

931
00:46:28,318 --> 00:46:29,945
but right now,
let's hear some more

932
00:46:30,087 --> 00:46:31,850
of that Mess Around
by Ray Charles.

933
00:46:32,055 --> 00:46:33,044
(technician)
K.B., line 1.

934

00:46:35,492 --> 00:46:37,824
King Bee.

936
00:46:38,762 --> 00:46:39,694
Mmm-hmm.

937
00:46:40,764 --> 00:46:42,163
Yeah, he's right here.

938
00:46:43,934 --> 00:46:45,367
Miss Della Antwine
of the Cecil Shaw Singers.

939
00:46:48,906 --> 00:46:50,874
Hello, Miss Antwine.

940
00:46:51,141 --> 00:46:53,837
You sung tenor in
Jesus Is My Shepherd, right?

941
00:46:53,977 --> 00:46:55,137
Yes.

942
00:46:56,013 --> 00:46:57,913
How did you pick me out?

943
00:46:58,415 --> 00:47:01,248
Actually,
l... I hear like you see.

944
00:47:01,785 --> 00:47:04,777
Like that hummingbird
outside the window,
for instance.

945
00:47:11,094 --> 00:47:12,026
I can't hear her.

946
00:47:12,162 --> 00:47:13,356
You have to listen.

947
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:27,142
[whirring]

948
00:47:31,481 --> 00:47:32,470
Yes.

949
00:47:32,816 --> 00:47:33,748
Yeah.

950
00:47:34,451 --> 00:47:34,974
Yes, you can.

951
00:47:35,118 --> 00:47:36,085
OH-OH.

952
00:47:36,220 --> 00:47:37,152
You hear that?

953
00:47:37,287 --> 00:47:38,254
What?

954
00:47:39,056 --> 00:47:41,149
Her heart just
skipped a beat.

955
00:47:43,460 --> 00:47:45,257
Oh, did you like my record?

956
00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:47,922
The one that King Bee
was playin'?

957
00:47:49,433 --> 00:47:50,991
It was very nice.

958
00:47:51,301 --> 00:47:53,428
Different than the others.

959
00:47:54,071 --> 00:47:55,936
I've heard
a lot of your music.

960
00:47:56,073 --> 00:47:57,768
Was it very nice, too?

961
00:47:57,908 --> 00:47:59,899
Look, Miss Antwine, if you
don't really like the record,

962
00:48:00,043 --> 00:48:03,376
you ain't got to
beat around the bush with me.
I mean, my mama never did.

963
00:48:03,513 --> 00:48:05,947
It's not that I don't
enjoy your music.

964
00:48:06,149 --> 00:48:08,140
It's just that I feel
I've heard it before.

965
00:48:08,285 --> 00:48:10,947
I keep wondering
what the real Ray Charles
sound like.

966
00:48:11,154 --> 00:48:12,314
Ray Charles? Who's he?

967
00:48:12,456 --> 00:48:14,287
Nobody,
if you don't know.

968
00:48:14,424 --> 00:48:15,356
Huh?

969
00:48:16,226 --> 00:48:18,820
Sorry. I should have
kept my mouth shut.

970
00:48:18,962 --> 00:48:21,897
Oh, no, no.
Then you wouldn't be you.

971
00:48:22,165 --> 00:48:24,497
You know, it's not
like I haven't heard
that before.

972
00:48:24,635 --> 00:48:28,405
I guess I just, uh, never
really listened, that's all.

973
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:29,997
[people chattering]

974
00:48:30,173 --> 00:48:33,074
Ain't nobody ever put
it that sweet, I guess.

975
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,191
(Ray)
You know what,
Miss Della Bea Antwine?

976
00:48:52,329 --> 00:48:54,388
You really are a country girl.
You know that?

977
00:48:54,531 --> 00:48:56,431
Yes.
How'd you know?

978
00:48:56,566 --> 00:48:58,557
I could tell by
the way you ordered.

979
00:48:58,902 --> 00:49:00,995
[mimicking]
"Let me get molasses
with my cornbread."

980
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:02,000
[laughs]

981
00:49:02,105 --> 00:49:03,936
Were you raised
on a farm?

982
00:49:04,074 --> 00:49:06,838
My mother did
a little sharecropping
in Florida.

983
00:49:06,977 --> 00:49:08,205
Is she still there?

984
00:49:08,345 --> 00:49:11,109
God bless her heart,
she passed away
when I went to school.

985
00:49:11,248 --> 00:49:12,875
Ray, I'm sorry.

986
00:49:13,216 --> 00:49:15,047
(Ray)
She never was
real healthy.

987
00:49:15,552 --> 00:49:17,486
She just worked
herself to death,
poor thing.

988
00:49:17,654 --> 00:49:20,350
That's why she didn't
want me carrying around
no tin cup.

989
00:49:20,490 --> 00:49:22,151
The kids
I went to school with,

990
00:49:22,292 --> 00:49:25,420
they were doing basket-weavin'
and wickerwork.

991
00:49:26,063 --> 00:49:28,088
But not you.
Because of your gift.

992
00:49:28,265 --> 00:49:30,028
Because of my ears.

993
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,031
See, I can mimic
damn near anybody,

994
00:49:32,169 --> 00:49:35,002
and l... l... l... I make
a pretty decent
living at it.

995
00:49:35,138 --> 00:49:37,074
It's just, if I
change my style up

996
00:49:37,074 --> 00:49:38,541
and people
really don't dig it,

997
00:49:38,675 --> 00:49:41,075
I mean, what am I
left with, you know?

998
00:49:41,178 --> 00:49:43,476
I mean, when you're blind,
Miss Antwine,

999
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,910
you ain't got
that many choices.

1000
00:49:47,584 --> 00:49:49,449
Seem to me
like you got all
the choices in the world.

1001
00:49:49,586 --> 00:49:50,553
[chuckles]

1002
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:52,416
God gave you
the gift to sound

1003
00:49:52,556 --> 00:49:54,990
like anybody you please,
even yourself.

1004
00:49:56,593 --> 00:49:58,925
(Della)
We're here.
This is where I live.

1005
00:49:59,062 --> 00:49:59,994
[birds chirping]

1006
00:50:00,130 --> 00:50:01,893
Well, you think
the preacher'd let me in?

1007
00:50:02,032 --> 00:50:04,091
I mean, uh, I'm a sinner,
but I need a little prayer.

1008
00:50:04,234 --> 00:50:06,668
His wife don't like
me having male company.

1009
00:50:07,037 --> 00:50:10,097
Well, tell him there's
a soul out here
that needs savin'.

1010
00:50:10,741 --> 00:50:14,074
(Ray)
You know what, Miss Antwine,
you really got me thinkin'.

1011
00:50:16,179 --> 00:50:17,373
About what?

1012
00:50:17,547 --> 00:50:21,005
About my life.
About my music.

1013
00:50:23,186 --> 00:50:24,414
About everything.

1014
00:50:26,723 --> 00:50:30,159
Ray, don't... don't you think
we're movin' a little fast?

1015
00:50:32,162 --> 00:50:34,062
Listen, I'm... I'm gonna
go to New York

1016
00:50:34,197 --> 00:50:36,427
for a couple of weeks,
and when I get back,

1017
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:39,295
you can take it as
slow as you want.

1018
00:50:42,305 --> 00:50:44,000
All right, Mr. Charles.

1019
00:50:45,242 --> 00:50:47,142
All right, Miss Antwine.

1020
00:50:47,411 --> 00:50:49,174
I'll see you
in a couple of weeks.

1021
00:50:50,180 --> 00:50:51,078
Well, hold on, now.
Let me call you a cab.

1022
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:53,045
(Ray)
I got it. Three blocks up,

1023
00:50:53,183 --> 00:50:55,617
left for two, right for one.

1024
00:50:55,786 --> 00:50:57,413
Fifteen giant steps,

1025
00:50:57,554 --> 00:50:59,419
and I'm at the
Crystal White Hotel. Hello.

1026
00:50:59,556 --> 00:51:00,580
[chuckles]

1027
00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:09,255
(Ahmet)
Mess Around was
a positive step for us, Ray.

1028
00:51:09,399 --> 00:51:10,457
We're making progress.

1029
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,693
(Ray)
Oh, come on, Ahmet.
Now, you've been nice to me.

1030
00:51:13,036 --> 00:51:14,526
But I haven't given
you guys any hits.

1031
00:51:14,671 --> 00:51:16,161
Atlantic Records
has been good to me,

1032
00:51:16,306 --> 00:51:18,137
but if you want me to do
something special,

1033
00:51:18,341 --> 00:51:19,365
I'm gonna need my own band.

1034
00:51:20,110 --> 00:51:23,213
Oh, man. Taking a band
out on the road
costs a mint, Ray.

1035
00:51:23,213 --> 00:51:26,205
I mean, even Joe Morris
is struggling. His band's
had a hit record.

1036
00:51:26,349 --> 00:51:28,112
But, Ahmet, listen,
I'm not Joe Morris.

1037
00:51:28,251 --> 00:51:30,446
Man, you told me if I think
pennies, I get pennies.

1038
00:51:30,587 --> 00:51:32,418
I'm thinking dollars,
man.

1039
00:51:33,824 --> 00:51:36,588
Ruth Brown's got
a tour booked in Georgia.

1040
00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:39,126
She needs a band.

1041
00:51:39,262 --> 00:51:40,194
(Ray)
l... I'll take it.

1042
00:51:41,231 --> 00:51:43,028
I could write the charts
for her, l... I could do backup,

1043
00:51:43,166 --> 00:51:45,157
and also be an openin' act.

1044
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:48,037
[sighs]

1045
00:51:48,171 --> 00:51:49,263
Okay.

1046
00:51:49,439 --> 00:51:51,634
(Ahmet)
But you're going to be
financially responsible.

1047
00:51:51,775 --> 00:51:53,640
You're gonna have
to make it work, Ray.

1048
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:56,245
[chuckling]
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna make it
do what it do, baby.

1049
00:51:56,379 --> 00:51:57,676
[chuckling]
Yeah.

1050
00:52:06,857 --> 00:52:08,290
[bicycle bell rings]

1051
00:52:10,093 --> 00:52:11,025
Ray!

1052
00:52:11,394 --> 00:52:13,487
Miss Antwine,
it's been two weeks.

1053
00:52:13,630 --> 00:52:15,291
It's been three.

1054
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:18,399
[grunting]

1055
00:52:21,238 --> 00:52:23,433
Now, where's the preacher at?
And the wife?

1056
00:52:23,607 --> 00:52:25,632
They in Dallas till Monday.

1057
00:52:25,775 --> 00:52:27,470
(Ray)
Well, hallelujah!

1058
00:52:37,754 --> 00:52:39,312
Della Bea.

1059
00:52:40,223 --> 00:52:41,747
Kind of like a honey bee,
right?

1060
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:43,091
[giggles]

1061
00:52:45,762 --> 00:52:47,354
Can I call you Bea?

1062
00:52:48,431 --> 00:52:50,661
Yeah, I'd like that.

1063
00:52:53,603 --> 00:52:57,369
There's only been two cats
that I ever really
trusted in my life.

1064
00:52:59,242 --> 00:53:02,643
There's Jeff Brown,
he's going to be
my tour manager,

1065
00:53:03,246 --> 00:53:05,305
Fathead Newman,
my tenor man

1066
00:53:07,551 --> 00:53:09,143
and now you.

1067
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,250
But you gotta
do me a favor.

1068
00:53:18,461 --> 00:53:20,224
Bea, you gotta
always tell me the truth.

1069
00:53:20,363 --> 00:53:22,422
Oh, yeah. Just like
you did before.

1070
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:26,301
Don't feel sorry for me
just 'cause I'm blind.

1071
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:30,098
How could I pity
someone I admire?

1072
00:53:35,178 --> 00:53:36,406
Can I play
something for you?

1073
00:53:36,546 --> 00:53:38,275
Now?
Yeah.

1074
00:53:38,481 --> 00:53:39,277
No, Ray.

1075
00:53:39,416 --> 00:53:41,281
Yeah, right now.
Right now. I'm gonna...

1076
00:53:41,418 --> 00:53:42,476
(Della)
Ray!

1077
00:53:43,486 --> 00:53:44,453
[murmurs]

1078
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:46,287
[Della sighs]

1079
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:48,254
It's right there.
You got it.

1080
00:53:48,425 --> 00:53:49,551
(Ray)
Okay.

1081
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,853
Yeah, yeah,
this will work.

1082
00:53:51,194 --> 00:53:52,161
[Ray clears throat]

1083
00:53:52,295 --> 00:53:54,354
Now you go ahead
and play. I'm gonna
close these drapes.

1084
00:53:54,497 --> 00:53:55,429
All right.

1085
00:53:55,565 --> 00:53:57,226
I don't want no
neighbors looking in.

1086
00:53:57,367 --> 00:53:58,527
# Well #

1087
00:53:59,336 --> 00:54:00,701
# I got a woman #

1088
00:54:01,738 --> 00:54:03,296
# way over town #

1089
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,674
# She's good to me #

1090
00:54:08,378 --> 00:54:09,811
# I got a woman #

1091
00:54:10,747 --> 00:54:12,339
# Way over town #

1092
00:54:12,849 --> 00:54:13,350
Ray.

1093
00:54:13,350 --> 00:54:14,544
# She's good to me #

1094
00:54:15,552 --> 00:54:16,849
# Oh, yeah #

1095
00:54:17,220 --> 00:54:18,152
Ray!

1096
00:54:18,288 --> 00:54:19,277
# She give me money #

1097
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:20,855
Ray. Ray, that's
sacrilegious.

1098
00:54:20,991 --> 00:54:22,151
# When I'm in need ##

1099
00:54:22,292 --> 00:54:23,360
What... what?

1100
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,191
It's a gospel song.

1101
00:54:25,795 --> 00:54:27,786
I know what it is.
I wrote it.

1102
00:54:28,498 --> 00:54:30,898
I mean, you told me
to find my own voice.

1103
00:54:31,234 --> 00:54:32,565
Well, Bea, this is it.

1104
00:54:32,702 --> 00:54:36,763
But it... it ain't... It ain't
right to be changing
gospel music into this.

1105
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:38,737
Into what? Is it...
Is it devil music?

1106
00:54:38,875 --> 00:54:41,844
Evil music? Do you think...
Do you think I'm evil, Bea?

1107
00:54:42,512 --> 00:54:44,673
[stammering]
Look, I've been
performing gospel

1108
00:54:44,814 --> 00:54:46,941
and blues all my life.
It's who I am.

1109
00:54:47,584 --> 00:54:51,247
And if I'm gonna
do my own thing,
l... I gotta be natural, right?

1110
00:54:52,689 --> 00:54:55,385
I'm singing about
my feelings for you.

1111
00:54:55,725 --> 00:54:57,317
About how I love you.

1112
00:54:59,929 --> 00:55:02,329
What could be more
natural than that?

1113
00:55:03,433 --> 00:55:04,627
Huh, Bea?

1114
00:55:05,468 --> 00:55:06,526
Tell me.

1115
00:55:07,671 --> 00:55:09,662
More natural
than me and you.

1116
00:55:10,473 --> 00:55:11,405
Ray.

1117
00:55:15,812 --> 00:55:17,609
# I got a woman #

1118
00:55:18,915 --> 00:55:20,746
# Way over town #

1119
00:55:22,018 --> 00:55:23,383
# good to me #

1120
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:24,714
[Ray chuckles]

1121
00:55:24,888 --> 00:55:26,219
# Oh, yeah ##

1122
00:55:26,356 --> 00:55:26,947
[both chuckling]

1123
00:55:27,524 --> 00:55:29,890
(Jerry)
So we bite the bullet,
we cancel the tour dates.

1124
00:55:30,026 --> 00:55:31,823
But what the hell
are we gonna tell Ray?

1125
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:33,724
(Ahmet)
We just have
to tell him the truth:

1126
00:55:33,863 --> 00:55:35,592
Ruth Brown's pregnant,
so there's no tour.

1127
00:55:35,732 --> 00:55:37,461
What about LaVern Baker?

1128
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:39,568
Get LaVern Baker
to take the tour.

1129
00:55:39,703 --> 00:55:41,830
She doesn't have a record.
There's nothing to promote.

1130
00:55:41,971 --> 00:55:44,269
You and Jesse get up there,
write a couple of songs,

1131
00:55:44,407 --> 00:55:45,533
let's get her in the studio.

1132
00:55:45,675 --> 00:55:47,444
It's gonna take
a month to do that...

1133
00:55:47,444 --> 00:55:49,479
What are we gonna do?
We got to do somethin'.

1134
00:55:49,479 --> 00:55:51,276
Ray's got a whole
new band up there.

1135
00:55:51,414 --> 00:55:53,473
(Jerry)
How the hell did he put
together a band so fast?

1136
00:55:53,616 --> 00:55:55,982
Boss! Boss,
they're here.

1137
00:55:56,319 --> 00:55:58,844
[Ray stammering]
Come on. Let's get together
so we can show 'em this.

1138
00:55:58,988 --> 00:55:59,977
(Jerry)
...break this to Ray.

1139
00:56:00,323 --> 00:56:02,382
(Ahmet)
Oh, you're gonna let
me break it to Ray?

1140
00:56:02,525 --> 00:56:03,423
Why me?

1141
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:04,857
Because Ruth Brown
was your idea.

1142
00:56:04,994 --> 00:56:08,395
Ruth Brown is a good idea,
Ruth Brown was a good idea,
and still is a good idea.

1143
00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:09,463
Shh!

1144
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:10,759
# That's good to me #

1145
00:56:11,568 --> 00:56:13,035
# Oh, yeah #

1146
00:56:13,837 --> 00:56:15,805
# I got a woman #

1147
00:56:16,706 --> 00:56:19,109
# Way over town #

1148
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:20,542
# Good to me #

1149
00:56:21,611 --> 00:56:23,272
# Whoa, yeah #

1150
00:56:23,546 --> 00:56:25,411
# She give me money #

1151
00:56:26,383 --> 00:56:28,510
# When I'm in need #

1152
00:56:28,718 --> 00:56:30,652
# Yeah, she's the kind of #

1153
00:56:31,554 --> 00:56:32,782
# friend indeed #

1154
00:56:33,623 --> 00:56:34,851
# I got a woman #

1155
00:56:35,024 --> 00:56:35,956
Ahmet.

1156
00:56:36,459 --> 00:56:37,448
Yeah.

1157
00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:39,389
We gotta get this on wax.

1158
00:56:39,796 --> 00:56:40,820
Oh, yeah.

1159
00:56:41,398 --> 00:56:42,330
# Oh, yeah #

1160
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,728
Hear that, New York?
The sound is huge!

1161
00:56:45,869 --> 00:56:48,497
But there's only seven cats
on this record.

1162
00:56:48,638 --> 00:56:51,334
This is the new
Ray Charles, baby,

1163
00:56:51,474 --> 00:56:53,499
and there's nothing
out there like it!

1164
00:56:54,544 --> 00:56:56,512
And you heard it first
on The Moondog Show!

1165
00:56:58,014 --> 00:56:59,606
# Just for me #

1166
00:57:01,017 --> 00:57:01,847
# Oh, yeah #

1167
00:57:02,685 --> 00:57:04,084
# She give me money ##

1168
00:57:05,422 --> 00:57:07,822
The Shaw Agency's
the best booker
on the Chitlin' Circuit,

1169
00:57:07,957 --> 00:57:09,390
that's my opinion.

1170
00:57:09,526 --> 00:57:11,494
(Ahmet)
Milt Shaw, meet Ray Charles.

1171
00:57:11,694 --> 00:57:13,389
Ray, It was
Milt's dad, Billy,

1172
00:57:13,530 --> 00:57:15,862
who first drew my attention
to a certain blind pianist

1173
00:57:15,999 --> 00:57:17,933
when he was
booking Lowell Fulson.

1174
00:57:18,067 --> 00:57:20,570
Ray Charles.
We believe in your talent.

1175
00:57:20,570 --> 00:57:23,095
We wanna be
in the Ray Charles business.

1176
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,601
We've already got you
booked on a 10-city tour

1177
00:57:25,742 --> 00:57:27,369
with Roy Milton's
Solid Senders...

1178
00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:28,578
Oh, Roy Milton,
I love him.

1179
00:57:28,578 --> 00:57:31,648
...and Tangula
the Exotic Shake Dancer.

1180
00:57:31,648 --> 00:57:34,344
She is gorgeous.

1181
00:57:34,551 --> 00:57:35,575
Ray,
I gotta tell you,

1182
00:57:35,718 --> 00:57:38,346
we think you're onto
something very big here.

1183
00:57:38,488 --> 00:57:41,514
Nobody's ever combined
R&B and gospel before.

1184
00:57:41,724 --> 00:57:42,782
I've Got A Woman is a smash.

1185
00:57:42,926 --> 00:57:45,690
You better start thinking
about a follow-up, my friend.
Right now.

1186
00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:47,922
You know, this sounds good.
I gotta run to Texas

1187
00:57:48,064 --> 00:57:50,589
and take care
of some business,
and, I'll be right back.

1188
00:57:50,733 --> 00:57:53,463
Well, make it fast. I'm ready
to sell, sell, sell.

1189
00:57:53,603 --> 00:57:56,595
A-a-as long as you book
me in front of Tangula.

1190
00:57:56,739 --> 00:57:58,575
(Jeff)
Della, hold on!
Let me get my camera.

1191
00:57:58,575 --> 00:57:59,837
Let me get one picture.

1192
00:57:59,976 --> 00:58:02,069
Y'all, y'all,
stay right there! Ray!

1193
00:58:03,112 --> 00:58:04,670
Della, let me
get one picture!

1194
00:58:04,814 --> 00:58:06,782
Come on. One picture, Della!
Come on, now.

1195
00:58:06,916 --> 00:58:07,974
[people clamoring]

1196
00:58:08,117 --> 00:58:09,414
(Fathead)
Be careful, Ray.

1197
00:58:09,552 --> 00:58:10,951
These are your last steps
of freedom, man.

1198
00:58:11,087 --> 00:58:12,520
Don't open that door.

1199
00:58:12,655 --> 00:58:15,419
(Jeff)
Ray, you gotta carry her
over the threshold.

1200
00:58:22,832 --> 00:58:25,130
To the right, Ray!
To the right, now!

1201
00:58:25,602 --> 00:58:26,899
[people shouting]

1202
00:58:28,538 --> 00:58:30,028
(Fathead)
Ray, you need some help?

1203
00:58:30,173 --> 00:58:31,936
You sure you know
what you're doing?

1204
00:58:32,075 --> 00:58:34,407
# He knows a woman's place #

1205
00:58:34,544 --> 00:58:35,841
# Right there now,
in her home #

1206
00:58:35,979 --> 00:58:37,571
# I got a woman ##

1207
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:44,051
(Della)
Ray.

1208
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:45,586
[knocking on door]

1209
00:58:45,922 --> 00:58:46,854
Ray.

1210
00:58:47,023 --> 00:58:48,183
[knocking on door]

1211
00:58:48,525 --> 00:58:49,924
Can I come in?

1212
00:58:51,261 --> 00:58:52,751
H-H-Hold on.

1213
00:58:52,962 --> 00:58:54,953
What's goin' on, Ray?

1214
00:58:58,801 --> 00:59:00,598
Open this door.

1215
00:59:01,671 --> 00:59:03,640
Why are you
locking doors
on me, Ray?

1216
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,629
[Della laughs]

1217
00:59:04,774 --> 00:59:05,900
You know
the place is small.

1218
00:59:06,042 --> 00:59:07,566
We gotta have
a little privacy.

1219
00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:09,871
Uh, what we need is
a little more room.

1220
00:59:10,013 --> 00:59:13,210
You know, we're gonna
need some space
while we start a family.

1221
00:59:14,817 --> 00:59:17,650
Well, Bea, you know
I'm gonna be on the road
for most of the year.

1222
00:59:17,787 --> 00:59:18,719
Ray.

1223
00:59:20,123 --> 00:59:23,092
I'm just thinking,
what if I'm not
a good father?

1224
00:59:23,693 --> 00:59:25,183
My daddy
was never around.

1225
00:59:25,528 --> 00:59:27,621
And he had
three different families.

1226
00:59:29,666 --> 00:59:30,633
Well,

1227
00:59:31,801 --> 00:59:34,895
you are gonna have one,
starting right now.

1228
00:59:35,038 --> 00:59:35,970
Right now?

1229
00:59:36,105 --> 00:59:37,037
Mmm-hmm.

1230
00:59:37,974 --> 00:59:39,498
Well, what do you think?

1231
00:59:39,642 --> 00:59:40,631
[Della giggles]

1232
00:59:40,843 --> 00:59:41,673
That's all is
what I know.

1233
00:59:43,012 --> 00:59:44,502
# I know #

1234
00:59:45,181 --> 00:59:46,648
# Hallelujah,
I just love her so #

1235
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:08,694
# Now, if I call her
on the telephone #

1236
01:00:09,339 --> 01:00:11,500
# And tell her
that I'm all alone #

1237
01:00:12,275 --> 01:00:14,675
# By the time I count
from one to four #

1238
01:00:15,211 --> 01:00:16,178
# I hear her #

1239
01:00:16,879 --> 01:00:17,675
# on my door #

1240
01:00:18,748 --> 01:00:20,682
(man)
Stop it!
Y'all done lost your minds!

1241
01:00:20,883 --> 01:00:21,751
Stop all this stuff!

1242
01:00:21,751 --> 01:00:22,740
You need to be saved!

1243
01:00:22,885 --> 01:00:24,147
I can't take it
no more. Stop it!

1244
01:00:24,287 --> 01:00:25,276
I can't take it!

1245
01:00:25,622 --> 01:00:27,055
Hold on. Now,
wait a minute, man.

1246
01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:28,680
Take your hands off me!

1247
01:00:28,891 --> 01:00:30,256
This ain't right!

1248
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:32,787
(Jeff)
Just let the people
hear the music.

1249
01:00:33,162 --> 01:00:36,029
Y'all sitting here,
listenin' to this devil!

1250
01:00:36,165 --> 01:00:39,259
You're just givin'
your money to Satan,
that's what you're doin'.

1251
01:00:39,602 --> 01:00:41,297
Hold on,
y-you got a problem?

1252
01:00:41,638 --> 01:00:42,969
Yeah, I got a problem!

1253
01:00:43,106 --> 01:00:44,869
That's gospel
you're singin'!

1254
01:00:45,008 --> 01:00:47,067
You're turning
God's music into sex.

1255
01:00:47,210 --> 01:00:49,144
You're making
money off the Lord!

1256
01:00:49,278 --> 01:00:52,042
Don't y'all smile at me!
All of y'all are in it, too!

1257
01:00:52,181 --> 01:00:54,172
All of y'all are
going straight to hell!

1258
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:55,284
She's right.

1259
01:00:55,618 --> 01:00:56,915
[chattering]

1260
01:00:57,053 --> 01:00:58,145
No, this here's wrong.

1261
01:00:58,287 --> 01:00:59,618
The whole thing's wrong.

1262
01:00:59,756 --> 01:01:00,745
[woman shouting]

1263
01:01:01,257 --> 01:01:02,622
(Ray)
It's okay. It's okay.
Let... let him go.

1264
01:01:02,759 --> 01:01:03,726
[angry man shouting]

1265
01:01:03,926 --> 01:01:05,587
You got a right to believe
in what you believe.

1266
01:01:05,728 --> 01:01:07,764
You can go
to hell by yourself!

1267
01:01:07,764 --> 01:01:09,231
Boss, you want
to cancel the show?

1268
01:01:09,365 --> 01:01:10,800
Uh, no. I'm not gonna
cancel the show.

1269
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,290
Just find me
a bari player by tomorrow.

1270
01:01:12,635 --> 01:01:14,728
I just want to ask
the folks right now:

1271
01:01:14,871 --> 01:01:17,806
If all of y'all want me
to keep playing,
let me hear you say "Amen."

1272
01:01:17,940 --> 01:01:19,874
(crowd)
Amen!

1273
01:01:20,009 --> 01:01:21,738
And while you're at it,
find me a girl

1274
01:01:21,878 --> 01:01:23,573
with church-training
that can sing

1275
01:01:23,713 --> 01:01:24,771
but without
the church attitude.

1276
01:01:25,882 --> 01:01:28,077
Let's go, y'all.
Keep it going, here we go...

1277
01:01:28,217 --> 01:01:29,309
Come on.

1278
01:01:36,325 --> 01:01:38,293
# Let me tell you
'bout a girl I know #

1279
01:01:39,062 --> 01:01:41,724
# She is my baby
and she lives next door ##

1280
01:01:42,832 --> 01:01:43,924
[horn honks]

1281
01:01:46,436 --> 01:01:47,801
(Della)
Ray, you got your watch?

1282
01:01:47,937 --> 01:01:48,904
(Ray)
Yeah.

1283
01:01:49,038 --> 01:01:52,804
(Della)
Good. All right, baby,
your blue shirts are on top,

1284
01:01:53,309 --> 01:01:56,107
the pants in between,
and the white shirts are
on the bottom.

1285
01:01:56,779 --> 01:01:59,179
Here's your glasses.
There you go.

1286
01:01:59,882 --> 01:02:00,780
[car horn honking]

1287
01:02:00,917 --> 01:02:01,849
Bea.

1288
01:02:02,385 --> 01:02:04,819
Why don't you come,
go on the road with us?

1289
01:02:05,321 --> 01:02:06,788
Look, baby, what would
I do on the road?

1290
01:02:06,923 --> 01:02:09,221
You'd do what I say
you do, that's what
you're gonna do.

1291
01:02:09,358 --> 01:02:10,290
[giggles]

1292
01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:14,157
I've been trying
to get a female voice
in the band, anyway.

1293
01:02:14,297 --> 01:02:17,061
Can't you just
picture me wobbling
around on that stage,

1294
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:18,360
big as a house?

1295
01:02:18,701 --> 01:02:20,635
Well, I can't picture you,
you know that.

1296
01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:21,998
But I know
what I can do.

1297
01:02:22,138 --> 01:02:23,070
[giggles]

1298
01:02:24,006 --> 01:02:26,634
Come on, now.
Don't start nothing
you can't finish.

1299
01:02:26,776 --> 01:02:27,936
Jeff is waiting.

1300
01:02:28,077 --> 01:02:29,009
[giggles]

1301
01:02:29,479 --> 01:02:31,811
You know I can't go
on the road with you,

1302
01:02:32,014 --> 01:02:33,174
not with your baby inside me.

1303
01:02:33,316 --> 01:02:34,283
Mmm-hmm.

1304
01:02:34,417 --> 01:02:36,317
I'm gonna get
your shaving kit.

1305
01:02:37,386 --> 01:02:39,149
Uh, Bea,
l... I got it.

1306
01:02:39,856 --> 01:02:41,414
Bea, hold... hold on.

1307
01:02:45,895 --> 01:02:47,385
Bea, let me get it.

1308
01:02:48,498 --> 01:02:50,989
How long you been
hiding this from me?

1309
01:02:52,502 --> 01:02:53,434
Ray!

1310
01:02:54,937 --> 01:02:56,199
I'm your wife!

1311
01:02:56,372 --> 01:02:58,169
Bea, l... I was just so
excited to see you.

1312
01:02:58,307 --> 01:03:00,741
I forgot to leave it
back there with the band,
that's all.

1313
01:03:00,877 --> 01:03:01,935
Let me...
Let me get it.

1314
01:03:02,078 --> 01:03:04,239
Oh, it's just
a little medicine,
that's all, baby.

1315
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:05,882
That ain't medicine
to nobody, Ray.

1316
01:03:05,882 --> 01:03:07,179
Don't be lyin' to yourself.

1317
01:03:07,316 --> 01:03:08,840
It ain't like I'm
dealing it, baby.

1318
01:03:08,985 --> 01:03:10,418
I just use it
to get a little taste.

1319
01:03:10,753 --> 01:03:12,243
You don't taste poison,
Ray. It kills you.

1320
01:03:12,388 --> 01:03:13,355
Now, you got to stop.

1321
01:03:13,489 --> 01:03:15,787
I ain't got to do
a goddamn thing!

1322
01:03:16,125 --> 01:03:17,092
[stutters]

1323
01:03:17,226 --> 01:03:20,530
What about me?
What about your baby?

1324
01:03:20,530 --> 01:03:21,462
Bea.

1325
01:03:22,064 --> 01:03:23,929
It ain't like
I'm new to this.

1326
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:27,128
If I felt like
this was jeopardizing
my music, or you,

1327
01:03:27,270 --> 01:03:28,794
or providing
for that baby,

1328
01:03:28,938 --> 01:03:30,940
I would stop in a minute.
But I know it won't.

1329
01:03:30,940 --> 01:03:33,408
How do you know that,
Ray? How do...
How do you know that?

1330
01:03:33,543 --> 01:03:35,909
You know what?
You can talk till
you're blue in the face,

1331
01:03:36,045 --> 01:03:37,876
it don't matter.
I'm not gonna stop.

1332
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:38,876
Then I'm comin'
with you.

1333
01:03:40,416 --> 01:03:40,848
Well, Ray,
you just said...

1334
01:03:40,983 --> 01:03:42,746
No. No.
You know what it is, Bea.

1335
01:03:42,885 --> 01:03:44,716
l... I think
it's like you said.

1336
01:03:45,021 --> 01:03:48,252
I don't think that
the road is a place
for you and the baby.

1337
01:03:50,927 --> 01:03:52,895
What are you
saying to me, Ray?

1338
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:54,960
What I'm sayin' is
that when I get home,

1339
01:03:55,097 --> 01:03:57,361
I hope that you're
here at my house.

1340
01:03:59,202 --> 01:04:00,464
Your house?

1341
01:04:05,107 --> 01:04:06,976
(Ray)
Jeff, come get this bag.

1342
01:04:06,976 --> 01:04:08,443
(Jeff)
All right, Ray.

1343
01:04:10,813 --> 01:04:12,041
Hey, Della Bea.

1344
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:19,382
You all right?

1345
01:04:39,008 --> 01:04:39,804

# It brings a tear #

1348
01:04:46,148 --> 01:04:48,378
# to my eyes #

1349
01:04:48,951 --> 01:04:50,213
# When I began #

1350
01:04:51,020 --> 01:04:53,318
# to realize #

1351
01:04:53,856 --> 01:04:55,346
That's good,
thank you.

1352
01:04:55,491 --> 01:04:56,981
How does she look?

1353
01:04:57,493 --> 01:04:58,482
Very pretty.
Brown skin.

1354
01:04:58,895 --> 01:05:03,093
# I guess I'll drown
in my own tears #

1355
01:05:03,232 --> 01:05:04,563
Yeah, yeah.

1356
01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:07,529
Uh, oh, yeah, that's great.
I really dig your sound.

1357
01:05:07,937 --> 01:05:09,404
Uh, what was
your name again,
sweetheart?

1358
01:05:09,538 --> 01:05:12,029
Oh, Mary Ann.
Mary Ann Fisher.

1359
01:05:12,208 --> 01:05:13,266
(Ray)
Mary Ann Fisher.

1360
01:05:13,409 --> 01:05:14,967
Uh, Mary Ann,
how would you feel

1361
01:05:16,045 --> 01:05:17,342
if I asked you to sing
a torch song
with a gospel feel to it?

1362
01:05:17,513 --> 01:05:18,480
[sighs]

1363
01:05:18,614 --> 01:05:21,014
Well, Gospel's all about
love anyway, isn't it?

1364
01:05:21,150 --> 01:05:22,082
Oh, yeah.

1365
01:05:22,218 --> 01:05:25,187
[clears throat]
Would it make you
feel like a sinner?

1366
01:05:25,388 --> 01:05:26,355

Well, Mr. Charles,
I love the Lord,
the Lord loves me.

But I ain't no hypocrite.

1369

Hello. You know what?
It's hard to fool me,

1370
01:05:35,164 --> 01:05:38,224
but it's impossible
to fool the Almighty,
ain't it?

1371
01:05:38,634 --> 01:05:41,037
Why don't we rehearse
the song a little bit?

Okay.

1541
01:15:26,822 --> 01:15:27,846
# Get in trouble #

1542
01:15:27,990 --> 01:15:31,084
# Say you better
leave my woman alone #

1543
01:15:31,226 --> 01:15:34,195
# Well, I know
you are a playboy #

1544
01:15:35,664 --> 01:15:37,598
# And you've got women
all over town #

1545
01:15:38,066 --> 01:15:41,670
# But, listen buddy,
if you ever sweet-talk
my little girl #

1546
01:15:41,670 --> 01:15:44,537
# I'm gonna
lay your body down #

1547
01:15:44,973 --> 01:15:47,601
# If you don't want
you don't have to #

1548
01:15:47,743 --> 01:15:48,710
# Get in trouble #

1549
01:15:48,844 --> 01:15:50,141
# You know you don't want #

1550
01:15:50,279 --> 01:15:51,680
# Oh yeah #

1551
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,511
# If you don't want
you don't have to #

1552
01:15:53,649 --> 01:15:55,048
Jesus, he's on fire, huh?

1553
01:15:56,618 --> 01:15:58,643
Maybe we should
sign these girls up.

1554
01:15:59,087 --> 01:16:01,021
If I know Ray,
we won't get a chance.

1555
01:16:02,558 --> 01:16:03,855
# You better leave #

1556
01:16:03,992 --> 01:16:04,981
# You better leave #

1557
01:16:05,127 --> 01:16:06,151
# Woman alone #

1558
01:16:06,295 --> 01:16:07,660
# Woman alone #

1559
01:16:08,130 --> 01:16:08,697
# I'm sayin' #

1560
01:16:08,697 --> 01:16:09,595
# Leave woman alone #

1561
01:16:09,765 --> 01:16:10,663
# You better leave #

1562
01:16:10,799 --> 01:16:12,027
# Woman alone #

1563
01:16:12,167 --> 01:16:15,830
# My woman alone #

1564
01:16:15,971 --> 01:16:18,667
# If you don't want
you don't have to #
