Where to Watch Ray
- Jay Marie BaileyJune 6, 2026An interesting biopic, didn't know about some of the demons Ray suffered with. How Jamie managed to portray Ray was fabulous it felt like I was actually watching the real Ray Charles. The vocals from some of those backing singers gave me chills. The 4k Blu-Ray is stunning. The fact they used the audio recordings from the original performances helped with authenticity, was interesting seeing some of the inspiration to some of his lyrics
