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

Portrait of a Musical Legend.
Taylor Hackford, who directed An Officer and a Gentleman, Against All Odds, Everybody's All-American, Dolores Claiborne, and The Devil's Advocate brings a heartwarming, remarkable story about one of the great musical legends of the 20th century. Jamie Foxx gives an Oscar-winning portrayal of the incomparable Ray Charles (1930-2004), who overcame his blindness, the haunting memory of his brother's death, and his addiction to heroin to become one of the 20th century's greatest musical legends. Many of Ray Charles' songs are heard in the movie including Georgia on My Mind, Hit the Road, Jack, I Can't Stop Loving You, and Born to Lose. Also starring Kerry Washington, Clifton Powell, Harry Lennix, Terrence Dashon Howard, Regina King, Larenz Tate, Richard Schiff, Warwick Davis, Curtis Armstrong, Aunjanue Ellis, Sharon Warren, Wendell Pierce, Kurt Fuller, Julian Bond, and Sonny Shroyer.
