Forever Ray: A Tribute to Ray Charles

Forever Ray pays tribute to the pianist, singer, composer, bandleader and ground-breaking entertainer endowed with the moniker “the Genius.” Credited with the early development of soul music, a style based on a melding of gospel, rhythm and blues and jazz music, Ray Charles’ influence echoes through generations of rock and soul singers.

Forever Ray features Shulton Whitley as the voice of Ray Charles, along with former Raylette, Angela Workman, vocalist Chyna Grant from the Harlem Gospel Choir, and Samantha Joy, who comes by her talent naturally thanks to her father, lead singer Shulton Whitley. They are backed by a multi-talented, musically exacting band which embodies the music of Ray Charles like none other.

Forever Ray brings Ray Charles’ timeless hits to life including: “I Got a Woman,” “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” “I Can't Stop Loving You,” “Georgia on My Mind,” “What I Say,” and “Unchain My Heart.”
