Ray Charles plays himself in this film where he helps blind boy David (Piers Bishop, sitting in the bumper car) in his struggle to regain his sight. Davids over-protective mother Peggy (Mary Peach) is afraid of the risks connected with restoring his sight. Ray tries to help the whole family, offering the heavy-drinking Peggys heavy-drinking partner Steve (Tom Bell) an opportunity to work with his band.
Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 June 10, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer. Among friends and fellow musicians he preferred being called " Brother Ray".
