Items related to Brother Ray: Ray Charles' Own Story
Ray Charles is one of the most gifted and influential musicians of our century. By combining gospel, jazz, blues, and country, he helped invent what would become known as soul. An "unsparingly personal document that bears a striking resemblance to Ray Charles sitting around with close friends rapping" ( L.A. Times ), Brother Ray is as engaging, frank, and soulful as Charles' music.
