Synopsis
Ray is the never-before-told, musical biographical drama of American legend Ray Charles. Born in a poor town in Georgia, Ray Charles went blind at the age of seven, shortly after witnessing his younger brother’s accidental death. Inspired by a fiercely independent mother who insisted he make his own way in the world, Charles found his calling and his gift behind a piano keyboard. He combined gospel, country, jazz and orchestral influences into his inimitable style, simultaneously fighting segregation in the very clubs that launched him, and championing artists’ rights within the corporate music business.
