When singer Ray Charles died, all of his children were given a million dollars apiece. Ray’s children were not the only ones taken care of. Girlfriends, secretaries and assistants were all given gifts, but one man was left out. For 44 years, Vernon Troupe served as the eyes of Ray Charles. Troupe devoted his life to Charles. Charles never used a guide dog or cane because he always had Troupe. The Ray Charles estate is worth almost $100 million, but Troupe was left out. According to published reports Troupe has no money, no income, no pension and no health insurance. Will Troupe die broke? Will the executors of the estate take care of the man who took care of Ray Charles for most of his life?

Is this the same person Clifton Powell played in the movie? I can't remember the character's name.
