"Pather Panchali", "Aparajito (The Unvanquished)", and "Apur Sansar (The World of Apu)" make up Satyajit Ray's trilogy of films about a young man growing up in '20 era India. Although not originally intended as a trilogy, the films, which took eight years to complete, were a cultural breakthrough that showed the rest of the world a different side of worldclass Indian cinema. Ray's ability to transfer a poetic justice to the life trajectory of Apu from a good-hearted child to a responsible adult, and father to his son, comes through in the director's patient and all-encompassing embrace of the mysteries of life. Set in Bengal, the engrossing trilogy transports the viewer into another world that we come to know and accept as our own. Ravi Shankar created the music for this unforgettable masterpiece of humanist cinema filmed by the incomparable cinematographer Subrata Mitra.

2008 four CD box set containing all of brother Ray's released recordings between 1949 and 1956. 94 tracks include classics such as 'Mess Around', 'I Got A Woman' and 'Hallelujah, I Love Her So'. This landmark set comes with a 44 page booklet that tells the story of this genius and contains session details and rare period photos. He was Ray Charles, a hero to the black community of such exalted status that no other popular entertainer, with the possible exception of Louis Armstrong, has ever achieved. Charles was the Bishop, the Right Reverend, The High Priest of Soul. Atlantic Records proclaimed him the Genius, a title he has born for over fifty years. As a singer who seduced the world with his voice, composer, bandleader, arranger, pianist, alto saxophonist, record producer and performer whose marriage of gospel and R & B helped prepare the basis for soul music, his prolific work deserves no other praise.

Modern Times portrays Chaplin as a factory worker employed on an assembly line. There, he is subjected to such indignities as being force-fed by a "modern" feeding machine and an accelerating assembly line where he screws nuts at an ever-increasing rate onto pieces of machinery. He finally suffers a nervous breakdown…
