Honoring the music of Ray Charles: Forever Ray

Forever Ray is a masterful tribute to the one and only Ray Charles—pianist, singer, composer, and groundbreaking entertainer known as “The Genius.” Credited with shaping the sound of soul by blending gospel, rhythm & blues, and jazz, Ray Charles' influence continues to inspire generations of artists.

Starring Shulton Whitley as the voice of Ray Charles, the show also features powerhouse performances from former Raylette Angela Workman, Harlem Gospel Choir’s Chyna Grant, and rising star Samantha Joy—who shares the stage with her father, Shulton. Backed by a dynamic, precision-driven band, Forever Ray captures the heart and soul of Ray Charles’ greatest hits, including “I Got a Woman,” “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Georgia on My Mind,” “What’d I Say,” and “Unchain My Heart.”
