Plot: Directed by Taylor Hackford, this biopic profiles the life of legendary musician Ray Charles. Despite humble beginnings and the loss of his eyesight due to glaucoma at the age of six, Charles, depicted by Jamie Foxx, would nonetheless become an icon in both the music industry and the civil rights era. While the film delves into his problems with drugs and women, the bulk of the story details his career; among the highlights of that career are 12 Grammy awards and 11 R&B chart-toppers, such as Unchain My Heart, Hit the Road, Jack, Georgia, Doin' the Mess Around, and Hallelujah I Just Love Her So. Also among the cast are Larenz Tate as Quincy Jones, as well as Regina King, Kerry Washington, and Clifton Powell. Charles' son, Ray Charles Jr. helped produce the film. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Ray Charles was quite a man; this movie not only knows it, but understands it. Jamie Foxx gives a landmark performance in this movie. It takes all of five seconds, tops, to believe that Jamie Foxx is Ray Charles. This movie is amazing.

Ray, the movie

I really enjoyed this movie, I saw it on television months ago, but wanted to see it again. I'm glad I have my own copy now, I can watch it whenever I want to.

IN THE FIFTIES . . . when the other kids were out-

side, playing, I was inside . . . Listening to Yhe

Great RAY CHARLES. It came to be, that the more I

heard about him --- the more I wanted to hear about him.

IN the Year 2000 . . . in Akron OHIO, I finally got

to see -- in person --- MY Childhood Idol. This movie

makes losing him,some Fifty years later, bearable . . .

"Ray is first rate"

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was one of the most revered figures in the history of rhythm & blues music-Frank Sinatra was once quoted as saying that "Ray Charles is the only genius in our business"-That's high praise indeed-Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Charles is outstanding-He nailed everything to perfection-The soundtrack includes these all-time classics:"Hit The Road Jack","Unchain My Heart" & "What'd I Say"-Foxx definitely earned his Best Actor award-If you're a Ray Charles aficionado or someone who enjoys vintage R&B music,this movie's for you.
