Tagline: “Soul is a way of life, but it is always the hard way.” -Ray Charles If a life is merely the sum of its parts, then the story of Ray Charles might read as a tale of personal highs and lows behind a lengthy, award-winning career in the music business.   But for a man who synthesized his struggles, pain and personal darkness as effectively as he incorporated a myriad of musical styles-Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Rock and Roll, Gospel, Country & Western-into his art, the story reads much differently, transformed from a sequence of events and accomplishments into a compelling and ultimately inspiring journey of a one-of-a-kind genius with a distinct vision…who, along the way, gave the world a new way to hear. Ray is the never-before-told, musical biographical drama of American legend Ray Charles, brought to the big screen following a 15-year journey by award-winning filmmaker Taylor Hackford and featuring a remarkable performance from the multifaceted Jamie Foxx. Director Hackford  (The Devil's Advocate, Dolores Claiborne, An Officer and a Gentleman)-who, along with producing partner Stuart Benjamin (La Bamba, The Long Walk Home, Everybody's All-American), spent the last 15 years developing this story with Ray Charles-presents a well defined portrait of an artist who turned his personal encounters with darkness into a burning light.
