Language of the film version shown in the current academic year:
The film tells the story of Ray Charles. By the early 1960's Ray Charles had accomplished his dream. The hit records "Georgia" and "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the top of the charts. He'd made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960, had taken virtually every form of popular music and broken through its boundaries with awe inspiring achievements. Rhythm & 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.
