Great biopic of Ray Charles

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2005)

Jamie Foxx was excellent as Ray Charles. This movie depicts his life story from his traumatic childhood living in poverty, getting his start in music, struggling marriage, stardom, and drugs and self-destruction. Ray is a movie every one should see, even if you're not a fan of his music. After this movie, I bought the Ray Charles Collection CD, and my whole family loved it.
Jamie Foxx deserved the Oscar for his role as Ray Charles. The resemblance was uncanny. In case nobody knew, Jamie Foxx went to a music school in his early days. It's a great start for Jamie Foxx to be in this movie because there's more to him that just a comedian. My favorite songs were "Georgia", "What'd I Say", and "Hit the Road Jack"! I give Ray 5 stars!
