From the New York Times...

 

 

 

 

Even if this wasn't originally released for a movie, this soundtrack stands out as a tribute to the genius. Ray is a really a greatest hits album; though not a definitive one, it contains the essential songs drawing from his prime period: "I've Got a Woman, Night Time is the Right Time," "Hit the Road Jack," "Unchain My Heart," and "Georgia On My Mind." And if one need proof of how great Charles was on stage need to look no further than the several live tracks here in "What I'd Say," "Let the Good Times Roll," and "Georgia. The many people who got his final album Genius Loves Company will discover through this how the legend got started.
