Just when it seemed like he'd spend the remainder of his recording career as a Ray Charles impressionist, he put together Unpredictable, his second solo album. He appeared on the Any Given Sunday soundtrack, made a minor breakthrough on Twista and Kanye West's 'Slow Jamz,' and then became a superstar with his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray. Though he didn't release any albums during the intervening years, Foxx was determined to stay active in music and collaborated with Adina Howard, Gladys Knight, and Melvin Riley.

His acting career has exploded and he even runs his own satellite radio station, so if Best Night of My Life is just part of the bigger Foxx picture, rather than an item from his sideline career, it’s still an above-average celebrity album.
