Advantages: Ray Charles Greatest Hits ! Disadvantages: ?
...I'm angry too and I want to be left alone…This song has been the across-the-board chart-topper in 1961, and it was one of the reasons why Ray won a Grammy Award. The way Margie Hendrix sings the choruses makes her sound like she is imploring him to "hit the road"…but what makes more spicy this song is the way Charles replays, more like shouting than singing - desperately - imploring the woman not to send him away because he will change…at least this is what he is promising…but how can she listen to him when she heard this lines so many times before?!?! :- P 10/10 (1:57)
6) "I've got a woman" - is another big hit…the song got to be on the R&B top as a No. 1 in 1955. Because had such a great success, Elvis Presley had it as a cover on his RCA debut album the following year. To be sincere, I don't like it so much…I don't know why...

Advantages: Its Ray Charles Disadvantages: Its not the real Ray Charles
...RayCharles, the man was a musical Genius of this there is no doubt at all. Genuis is a far too frequently used word these days with very few deserving of the accolade.
So Genius loves company, how does it measure up? Its a nice album of duets featuring the great man and some of todays other musicians.
It is a nice album with some very nice tracks but it doesn't give a good representation of Ray at his finest.
The best three tracks for my money were:
Here we go again - Featuring Norah Jones
It was a very good year - Featuring Willie Nelson
You don't know me - Featuring Diana Krall
Genius Love Company is definately worth owning if just for these three tracks.
If you would like to experience RayCharles i would recommend that you purchase The Definitive RayCharles double CD a much more complete picture of the man....

Advantages: the master on it's best Disadvantages: to be the rael best of Ray Charles
...I am aware of some of RayCharles work but this one was the one I acquire as being the "father of soul music”. Maybe impressed that "Genius loves company" was the last album that he recorded, his music seems evolved in a "blues-esco" spirit full of nostalgic.
Composed with twelve duets, the album represents thirteen songs that with out a thought sparkles RayCharles genius and the magic of is guests. Ray’s voice it's in a terrific shape even with is age and his long disease, lets say that it is not as strong as it used to be but that way to put emotion and sentiment into his music is still there.
The songs are great...actually they are real classics...I remember to ear his voice for the first time in "You don't know" on his original track and I really loved it, a and it is today one of my favourites. With this album I had...
