Synopsis

Undoubtedly, the story of legendary rhythm-and-blues musician Ray Charles is unique. Born into an impoverished family, Ray Charles had to cope with his brother's death by drowning: a terrible shock that irreparably affected his eyesight, leaving him blind by the age of seven. However, music and sounds were always Ray Charles' refuge--the loss of his mother motivated Ray to fight for his dream. Indeed, Ray's dynamic personality and tremendous talent were an explosive combination. As a result, Ray took 1940s and 1950s America by surprise. As a true pioneer, Ray Charles started a musical revolution with his emotional interpretations, the characteristic suit, and the big smile on his face.
