Ray

ÖZET

Ray is the triumphant and remarkable story of one of America's true musical geniuses, Ray Charles (Jamie Foxx), from his humble beginnings in the South through his meteoric rise to the top of American music charts.
Born in a poor town in Georgia, Ray Charles (Jamie Foxx) 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. Touring across the Southern musical circuit, the soulful singer gained a reputation and then exploded with worldwide fame when he pioneered incorporating gospel, country, jazz, and orchestral influences into his inimitable style. As he revolutionized the way people appreciated music, he simultaneously fought segregation in the very clubs that launched him and championed artists' rights within the corporate music business.
