Summary:
Ray Charles went blind at the age of seven. Inspired by his mother, who insisted he make his own way, he found his calling at the keyboard. Follow Ray as he overcomes drug addiction while becoming one of the country's most beloved performers. "'Ray' is the rare Hollywood biopic that does justice to the heroism, as well as the demons, of an American genius."--Entertainment Weekly "The film leaves us with an impression that Ray Charles was one of the artists who mattered most in the history of recorded music."--Aisle Seat "***...fantastic, toe-tapping, heart-pumping R&B. Recommended."--Video Librarian "What makes Foxx's performance so remarkable is that he doesn't just get into the skin of this music icon, but into the man's very soul."--Jam! Movies
