This semi-autobiographical pic showed another side of Prince that I had never seen. I've been following this guy since 1977, and for the first time, I was pleased to see him smile and actually have more than two words to say. Music is awesome!

This movie idea changed hands for 20 years. It finally got into the right ones - Spike Lee - and as usual, he put his stamp on it. Add Denzel Washington to the mix and you've got one HELL of a movie. GREAT FLICK...from beginning to end.

I love the music of Ray Charles. The soundtrack alone is worth watching the movie for. Jaime Foxx deserved every accolade he received for his portrayal of this musical genius.
