Samenvatting
Ray Charles Robinson, beter bekend als Ray Charles, werd in 1930 geboren in Albany, Georgia. Twee tragische gebeurtenissen hebben een grote invloed gehad op zijn carrière: hij werd blind op zijn zevende en op zijn vijftiende verloor hij zijn ouders. Hij leerde op een blindenschool klarinet, piano en saxofoon spelen. Nu wordt hij gezien als één van de vaders van de soulmuziek.Credits
