Ray Charles - Australian Bits (1962 - 1998)

Reelin' In The Years has several pieces of footage, covering some interviews, press conferences and airport arrivals (probably all of them from Australia):
  • Interview (3:08) and backstage footage (4:36) filmed on 1 June 1962.
  • Interview (2:23) and press conference (0:43) from 13 May 1963. As good as sure the footage of the interview he did the day before in London. Cf. this.
  • Airport arrival (0:13) and interview (1:00) in Australia from January 1964.
  • Airport arrival in Australia from September 1964 (0:27).  
  • Arrival at a hotel from 30 October 1969 (0:34).
  • Interview filmed In Sydney on 11 October 1975 (0:43).  
  • And an interview from 1976 (2:30); probably the same as the footage described here, and then produced by CTC 7 (station ACT, Canberra).
  • On 25 April 1998 Channel 9 covered Ray Charles' arrival at Sydney Airport, where he "talks to crowd" (ID 19980425008; source here). "Ray Charles has arrived in Sydney for his concert tonight at the Opera House. He was expected to arrive yesterday but missed his flight."
