Ray is the never-before-told musical biographical drama of American legend Ray Charles. Featuring a remarkable performance from Jamie Foxx in the central role, Ray follows the inspiring story of a one-of-a-kind genius.

Born in a poor town in Georgia, Ray Charles went blind when he was 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. The soulful singer gained worldwide fame when he pioneered incorporating gospel, rock and roll, country, jazz and orchestral influences into his inimitable style. As he revolutionized the way people appreciated music, he simultaneously fought segregation in the clubs that launched him and championed artists’ rights within the corporate music business.

Ray provides an unflinching portrait of Charles’ musical genius as he overcomes drug addiction while transforming into one of this country’s most beloved performers.
