Ray Charles

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004), better known by his shortened stage name Ray Charles, was an American musician. He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company. Frank Sinatra called Charles "the only true genius in show business."

Rolling Stone ranked Charles number 10 on their list of "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" in 2004,and number two on their November 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In honoring Charles, Billy Joel noted: "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley. I don't know if Ray was the architect of rock & roll, but he was certainly the first guy to do a lot of things . . . Who the hell ever put so many styles together and made it work?"

[New post] Captain America : THE FIGHTING AVENGER : BFX Original Short

Captain America : THE FIGHTING AVENGER : BFX Original Short

Here's an exciting short test film featuring the star-spangled Avenger, Captain America. It's a very clever short and uses the superhero sparingly, allowing him to blend believably into the setting while still making that Captain America impact that we have come to enjoy.

Much like the upcoming Summer film, this short is set during WWII and follows a small squad that stumbles upon more action than they planned to encounter. Luckily, the legendary Captain is there to lend a helping hand.
