MV: Ray (2004)
PL: Ray Charles has the distinction of being both a national treasure and an
PL: international phenomenon. By the early 1960's Ray Charles had accomplished
PL: his dream. He'd come of age musically. He'd made it to Carnegie Hall. The
PL: hit records "Georgia," "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the top
PL: of the charts. He'd made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960
PL: (a feat which, except for 1965, he's repeated at least once a year ever
PL: since). He had taken virtually every form of popular music and broken
PL: through its boundaries with such awe inspiring achievements as the LP's
PL: "Genius Plus Soul Equals Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country & Western."
PL: Rhythm & blues (or "race music" as it had been called) became universally
PL: respectable through his efforts. Jazz found a mainstream audience it had
PL: never previously enjoyed. And country & western music began to chart an
PL: unexpected course to general acceptance, then worldwide popularity. And
PL: along the way Ray Charles was instrumental in the invention of rock & roll.
PL: Jamie Foxx (Any Given Sunday, Ali) is Ray Charles in this high-energy
PL: portrait of an exceptional man who has become an American icon. Born in a
PL: poor African American town in central Florida, Ray Charles went blind at
PL: the age of 7. With the staunch support of his determined single mother, he
PL: developed the fierce resolve, wit and incredible talent that would
PL: eventually enable him to overcome not only Jim Crow Racism and the cruel
PL: prejudices against the blind, but also discover his own sound which
PL: revolutionized American popular music. Nonetheless, as Ray's unprecedented
PL: fame grew, so did his weakness for drugs and women, until they threatened
PL: to strip away the very things he held most dear. This little known story of
PL: Ray Charles' meteoric rise from humble beginnings, his successful struggle
PL: to excel in a sighted world and his eventual defeat of his own personal
PL: demons make for an inspiring and unforgettable true story of human triumph.
