Some 40 years after an inmate at Parchman Farm Prison in Mississippi named James Carter was recorded singing a work song, it was used in the opening of the 2000 movie “O! Brother Where Art Thou?”. When Carter received a $20,000 royalty check, he didn’t even remember singing the tune.

While Ray Charles did get a special viewing of the movie “Ray” based on his life, he died just four months before its release. The movie was an award-winning box-office hit.
