Premise: This is a story of how a young man,
Ray Charles (Foxx), from a poor family in Albany, Georgia, who
went from glaucoma at the age of 6, overcame the obstacles life
placed in his way and became a famous pianist and rock and roll
performer. Getting out of Albany was just the start, however,
as Charles had to deal with racism, romantic letdowns, and his
own heroin abuse. The two loves of his life that this film will
most focus on are his wife, Della (Washington), who stood by his
side even as Charles cheated on her with his long-time mistress,
Margie Hendrix (King), who had a child by him before eventually
dying of a drug overdose. (Krumholtz and Wisdom plays Charles'
managers; Schiff plays his record company boss; Armstrong plays
famed producer Ahmet Ertegun).
