The Ray Charles Video Museum is a research project, documenting live performances by The Genius.
This blog is above all a Mediagraphy. It's also a discography (or, more correctly, a trackography), aggregating all tunes that Ray sang and/or played - including the "canon" of 700 tracks listed on the official Ray Charles website, but also identifying the songs that have never been officially released, and e.g. the recordings of other artists, where Ray backed them on piano. Thirdly, this blog has evolved into a multimedia Chronology (click the years in the panel al the top of this page) of Ray's productive live.
I also try to do some justice to the more than 1,000 great musicians and singers who contributed to Ray's career (1, 2).
The Quotes page lists the wisest, craziest and funniest things that the Genius ever said. If you want to read more about Brother Ray, go here.
The availability of the streaming video and audio content on this blog is constantly under pressure. Some rights owners still think that sharing these videos damages their sales. I'm keeping disfunctional clips as placeholders - to show that the footage exists, and to replace them when new uploads appear on the Web.
The articles in this blog are continuously updated and improved. Your help is more than welcome.

Do you have a video copy of that 3-minute video? How did you download or watch it?

Dear John,

Ah, I had already spotted that great photo, and shared it on the Chronology 1984 page: http://raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.nl/2010/08/ray-charles-is-in-town-chronology-1984.html
I've just added your name to it, plus a link to the URL that you've quoted. Are you okay with that?

No, unfortunately I don't have a copy of that footage. All the Pathé archives have to offer online is 5 thumbnail-stills on this page: http://gaumontpathearchives.com/indexPopup.php?urlaction=doc&id_doc=87121&rang=2# (click the "imageur" button).
Brgrds, BOB
Does it belong to this concert? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeD-ud0hmZM
ReplyDeleteNope, to this one: http://raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.nl/2011/10/mister-ray-charles-live-in-nancy-1984.html
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? I do not think so (I could watch that 3-minute video)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm not sure what you mean... Which 3-minute video did you see?
ReplyDeleteAre you stating that the footage of Georgia that is kept in the Pathé archives was actually filmed in Nancy?
Yes, that's it. Watch it again, please: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeD-ud0hmZM
ReplyDeleteWhich frame in the Nancy clip is exactly the same as the 5th frame in the strip that I have included in the article above?
