Plot: Ray Charles has the distinction of being both a national treasure and an international phenomenon. By the early 1960s, Ray Charles had accomplished his dream. He had come of age musically and had made it to Carnegie Hall. The hit records "Georgia on My Mind" and "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the top of the charts. He had made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960 (a feat which, except for 1965, he has repeated at least once a year ever since). He had taken virtually every form of popular music and broken through its boundaries with such awe inspiring achievements as the LP's "Genius Plus Soul Equals Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country & Western". Rhythm and blues (or "race music" as it had been called) became universally respectable through his efforts. Jazz found a mainstream audience it had never previously enjoyed. And country and western music began to chart an unexpected course to general acceptance, then worldwide popularity. And along the way, Ray Charles was instrumental in the invention of rock and roll. Born in a poor African American town in central Florida, Ray Charles went blind at age seven. With the staunch support of his determined single mother, he developed the fierce resolve, wit and incredible talent that would eventually enable him to overcome not only Jim Crow Racism and the cruel prejudices against the blind, but also discover his own sound which revolutionized American popular music. Nonetheless, as Ray's unprecedented fame grew, so did his weakness for drugs and women, until they threatened to strip away the very things he held most dear. This little known story of Ray Charles' meteoric rise from humble beginnings, his successful struggle to excel in a sighted world and his eventual defeat of his own personal demons make for an inspiring and unforgettable true story of human triumph.

Milt Shaw: You know, Ray, your contract with Atlantic expires in 4 months.::Ray Charles: Yeah, I know. Ahmet and Jerry sent me my new contract. They're gonna double my royalties.::Milt Shaw: Before we go down that road again I thought I'd check and see what else was out there.::Ray Charles: Now, who told you to do that? Atlantic is family. Just like the Shaw agency.::Milt Shaw: Ray, my job is to find you the best deal out there. Now, I had a very productive meeting with the folks at ABC Paramount and they are very interested.::Ray Charles: No. How interested?::Milt Shaw: How about a 50 thousand dollar advance every year for the first three years? You choose your own music. They'll deduct recording costs and pay you 75 percent. Now, look, Ahmet and Jerry are flying in tomorrow night. Will you at least put them off until I have a chance to talk to the boys at ABC?::Ray Charles: Well, my mama always said there was nothin' wrong with talkin'.

I ain't for sale.::Ahmet Ertegun: May I sit down?::[Sits in chair]::Ahmet Ertegun: You see it seems that Jack Lauderdale has found himself, shall we say, a little over extended and has had to unload some of his talent. When your name came up I jumped at the chance to work with you. I'm a big fan.::Ray Charles: What if I want to go to another company? There's a guy out there right now that's willing to pay me seven cents a record. Can you do that?::Ahmet Ertegun: Man, I could promise you fifteen cents a record but you won't get it. Anymore than he'll pay you seven. What I will do is promise you five cents a record and pay you five cents a record. You think pennies, Mr. Charles, you get pennies. You think dollars, you get dollars.::Ray Charles: I like the way you put things together. Omlet, you're alright with me.::Ahmet Ertegun: Ahmet.::Ray Charles: Ahmet.

[Starts laughing] It ain't Turkish.

[talking about Jack Lauderdale]::Gossie McKee: You need watching out for and he ain't got time to look after you the way I been looking after you.::Ray Charles: Is that what you been doing, Gossie, watching out for me? Is that why you get paid double what I do?::Gossie McKee: Who told you that?::Ray Charles: Well it's true, ain't it? You and Marlene been gaming me ever since I got here.::Marlene: Ray, baby, listen...::Ray Charles: I ain't got to listen to you!::Gossie McKee: Listen Ray, I been meaning to talk to you about that.::Ray Charles: Then why aren't you talking?::Gossie McKee: Look Ray, let's not do nothing stupid.::Ray Charles: I might be blind, but I ain't stupid!

Aretha Robinson: If you want to do something to make your mama proud, promise me. Promise me you won't let nobody turn you into no cripple, you won't become no charity case, and you'll stand on your own two feet.::Young Ray Robinson: I promise.::Aretha Robinson: I love you, baby. I'm so proud of you.
