    After his unexpected death, Ray charles left 60 years of his time on his record label, making timeless music, with mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, country, soul, and rock ’n‘ roll. There was something very memorable about his unforgettable performances, he truely inspired alot of modern artists with his music. This new released album is duet album...every song is a duet with the worlds hottest soul/jazz singers: Nelson, Norah Jones, Natalie Cole, Bonnie Raitt and many more. it has to be said that he does shine the most with his duets, for example of a very heart moving duet is "Here We Go ... more

    I am aware of some of Ray Charles 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.

    Advantages Advantages Its Ray Charles

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Its not the real Ray Charles

    Ray Charles, 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 ... more
