Ray Charles America, a documentary I worked on earlier this year, debuts tonight on the Biography Channel at 8 pm Eastern / 5 pm Pacific (and then promptly repeats three times in a row). I’m credited as “consulting producer,” which means that I helped in various ways, including interviewing a half-dozen or so of the talking heads. (The talented Alexis Spraic is the director; the estimable Morgan Neville the producer; David Duchovny narrates.) We had unfettered access to the Ray Charles archives, and interviews with people ranging from Tom Waits to Bill Cosby; I think it all came out pretty damn great. The editing is particularly brilliant, for which I can claim no credit whatsoever. Check it out.
