Ray/Genius - A Night for Ray Charles

A double bill of soul. 'Ray' is the Oscar-winning biopic of the legendary blues, soul and jazz musician.

Even though he had lost his sight as a young boy and grew up in a segregated, racist society, Ray Charles (Jamie Foxx) is determined to follow his love of music and begins a successful tour of the American south.

With a career that begins to grow beyond all expectations throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Ray starts struggling with drug addiction and with failed relationships that take their toll on his health.

But throughout all this, he never loses his love of music, eventually becoming a Grammy Award-winning icon and one of the most popular musicians of the century. 'Genius - A Night For Ray Charles' (2004) is a tribute to the late king of soul featuring performances by contemporary artists including Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Al Green and Mary J.
