Description:



Ray Charles has the distinction of being both a national treasure and an international phenomenon.

By the early 1960's Ray Charles had accomplished his dream. He'd come of age musically. He'd made

it to Carnegie Hall. The hit records "Georgia," "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the

top of the charts. He'd made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960 (a feat which, except

for 1965, he's repeated at least once a year ever since). He had taken virtually every form of popular

music and broken through its boundaries with such awe inspiring achievements as the LP's "Genius Plus

Soul Equals Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country & Western." Rhythm & blues (or "race music" as it had

been called) became universally respectable through his efforts. Jazz found a mainstream audience it

had never previously enjoyed. And country & western music began to chart an unexpected course to

general acceptance, then worldwide popularity. And along the way Ray Charles was instrumental in the

invention of rock & roll. Born in a poor African American town in central Florida, Ray Charles went

blind at the age of 7. With the staunch support of his determined single mother, he developed the

fierce resolve, wit and incredible talent that would eventually enable him to overcome not only Jim

Crow Racism and the cruel prejudices against the blind, but also discover his own sound which

revolutionized American popular music. Nonetheless, as Ray's unprecedented fame grew, so did his

weakness for drugs and women, until they threatened to strip away the very things he held most dear.

This little known story of Ray Charles' meteoric rise from humble beginnings, his successful struggle

to excel in a sighted world and his eventual defeat of his own personal demons make for an inspiring

and unforgettable true story of human triumph.
