Was Jamie Foxx singing?
Was Jamie Foxx singing all the songs in the movie. Like the Mess Around and such, because if he was, he has some amazing talent...

Yes he was.
shareNot the recorded songs like "Unchain My Heart." However, for the others, yes. Jamie demonstrated his singing and piano playing talents way back when he was on "In Living Color." The man is extremely talented. I think his comedic skills and imitate people served him well in this movie.
shareI'm confused - weren't all the songs recorded? Do you mean the songs that were shown being recorded in studio? Because in the movie "Unchain My Heart" was performed live on stage.
shareHe only sang two of the songs. One of them was "Straighten Up And Fly Right". They asked him to do a singing impression of Ray Charles and obviously he could. But he said, "There's only one Ray Charles and his music should be used - not an impression". So all the music except for 2 songs is Ray Charles recordings.

Yes. Pretty good, huh? :) (I'm watching it now on Amazon Streaming. Just got it two days ago.)
