Showtime’s lineup today is spearheaded by Ray Donovan. A drama series that follows a professional “fixer” who completes tasks for the wealthy and powerful. It’s usually renting himself out as a hitman but is mainly known for his ability to get rid of problems.

The ShowTime show has been in production since 2013 and has recently surpassed over 50 episodes and with new seasons both on air and in development it’s a show with a massive appeal. So can you stream the show at all on Netflix?

Well, the answer is yes, but only if you’re in certain regions. Xforce for autocad 2016 download. Right now, you’re able to stream at least 3 seasons of Ray Donovan in many of the European countries (excluding UK and Ireland), South American countries and many African countries too. They receive regular season updates mostly in July/August just before a new season starts airing over in the states.

Ray is a 2004 American biographical film focusing on 30 years in the life of rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles. The independently produced film was written, produced, and directed by Taylor Hackford, and stars Jamie Foxx in the title role. There is exactly one great moment in Ray, director Taylor Hackford’s openhearted but literal-minded biopic of Ray Charles.It occurs midway through the film. By then, we’ve seen how thoroughly.

So, what about the states? Why isn’t it streaming on their Netflix? As of right now, Ray Donovan is part of the exclusive arrangement between Showtime and Hulu as an additional subscription on top of Hulu Plus. You’re also able to stream some of the latest episodes on Showtime’s own streaming platform. As of right now, you can only watch Ray Donovan with your Netflix subscription if you have the DVD rental service which offers the DVD boxset.

Given the exclusive arrangement between Hulu and Showtime, we doubt we’ll ever see Ray Donovan come to streaming. All star yakyuken battle psp share download.

As for the United Kingdom, sadly it’s only available through NowTV for streaming which is owned by Sky. Ray Donovan is one of the headline shows in Sky Atlantic’s catalogue and for the moment, it doesn’t look like that’ll change.

We’ll be sure to update you if anything changes but for the moment it looks like the streaming plans for the show are all locked up.

One could argue that the most influential man in country music's worldwide success was a blind, black R&B pianist from Georgia.

'When Ray did I Can't Stop Loving You, that was probably the time when country music was heard by more people than ever before,' says Willie Nelson. 'He kicked country music forward 50 years. Before him, a lot of people had probably never heard of songs by Don Gibson or Hank Williams.'

That impact is the backbone of the I Can't Stop Loving You: Ray Charles and Country Music exhibit that opens for a 21-month run next weekend at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

The 5,000-square-foot display charts the course of Brother Ray's love of the musical genre, from the earliest days of his career to his genre-busting, two-volume Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music in 1962 to his mid-'80s country duets album, Friendship, and beyond.

Coming on the heels of the Hall of Fame's groundbreaking Night Train to Nashville salute to Music City's R&B scene, this may seem out of whack .. until you realize the depth of Charles' contributions: Not only did he give his worldwide voice to country songs, but he also gave his blessing to the Nashville songbook.

'He's got to be there,' says Nelson, who not only finds an exhibit appropriate, but also believes Charles' plaque should decorate the wall of the institution, alongside himself, Patsy Cline, the Carter Family and Charley Pride. 'He belongs there as much as anybody else. He's done as much as any of us to progress country music and let it be heard around the world and give it the respect it deserves.'

Ray's country roots

On his Web site, www.raycharles.com, the late Charles described country music's entry into his life: 'My mom would let me stay up and listen to the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday night. That's the only time I got to stay up late.'

His first musical loves were gospel and country. From the former he learned of salvation and heavenly hosts. The latter taught him of desperation and earthly desires. He reveled in all those lessons.

Longtime pal and R&B/jazz star Hank Crawford, who left Tennessee State University to join Charles' outfit, says country music was a part of the bond the men shared.

'We had the same background, man,' says Crawford. 'I'm a Southerner myself, like him. And when we were growing up, at 6 a.m. in the morning, the only thing we'd hear on the radio was either gospel or country and western.

'We grew up with Grandpa Jones and Eddy Arnold. A lot of the songs we liked because of the stories,' says Crawford, whose sax-playing was a part of Charles' first recorded country foray, a 1959 R&B take on Hank Snow's I'm Movin' On.

Charles conquest of Nashville was completed in 1983, when he left his big band back in L.A. and came to Music Row to play with country superstars and a room filled with Nashville cats on Friendship. That duets album yielded Charles' first No. 1 country chart-topper, Seven Spanish Angels, which launched a powerful friendship with Nelson, his partner on that song.

The artifacts, computer-interactive displays and memories in the Hall of Fame salue Charles' pioneering musical life, while putting particular focus on what he gave to and what he got from Nashville.

One video displayed is from the old Johnny Cash TV show, with the beaming host saying 'They love you, Ray' when Charles is greeted by wild applause.

'I love them, too,' responds Charles, before filling Ryman Auditorium with a soulful version of Ring of Fire.

It was Sept. 23, 1970. Charles' 40th birthday. In addition to wishing the singer a happy birthday, cash, speaking on behalf of the Country Music Association, says: 'Thanks for takin' country music around the world.'

Taking country in new directions

Country's thread runs through the tapestry of Charles' career. As a teenager he played 'hillbilly music' in Florida roadhouses. His last official visit to Nashville was in 2003 to perform Behind Closed Coors for CMT's 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music special.

Liver disease and other ailments ended his magnificent life June 10, 2004, before the 'Ray nostalgia' fueled by Jamie Foxx's Academy Award-winning portrayal in the feature film Ray. That has a beginning and an ending and can be stored on a DVD shelf. Brother Ray's influence on Nashville remains vibrant, vital.

'Ray Charles had such a phenomenal impact on country music,' says Music Row legend Buddy Killen. 'It was amazing what happened when he did Busted (a Harlan Howard gem) and all of those Hank Williams songs.'

Charles' classic interpretations of those country songs led to Modern Sounds selling a million copies in months. A sequel was quickly ordered. Because of that success, the doors were blown off Acuff-Rose and other publishing houses. 'Ray took country music far beyond where it was before. He introduced the world to songs like no one else had ever done,' Killen says.

'What Ray did, just by doing that whole big package of country songs, he had a tremendous impact on country music, especially the country songwriter.'

Killen says Friendship, the Billy Sherrill-produced duets album, was a 'great idea, you were introducing all of these country acts to Ray's audience. And you were introducing Ray to the country audience.'

The payoff for Nashville was simple, according to Sherrill: 'Ray Charles .. brought fans to country music that otherwise wouldn't be here today. And now that he's gone, they're still here. .. He has done as much for country music as just about anybody I know.'
