Ray Charles a great duet album
Review of Genius Loves Company [SACD] - Ray Charles by gudheart taken from ciao.co.uk

...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 Again" feat the new shining talent Nora Jones, a soul beat ballad, a beautifull romantic recreation. The duet with James Taylor "Sweet Potato" which shifts into neo-soul sounds, with gitar riffs and the very unmissable saxaphone. "You... Read review

Advantages Ray Charles Greatest Hits !
Disadvantages ?

..."As long as I can remember, music has always been something extraordinary in my life." Ray Charles On September 23, 1930 a star was born. This star is to blame because I'm writing a review about his music today…Ray Charles Robinson. I think everybody knows who Ray Charles is, or at least saw the recent movie about his life, RayRay Charles Ray was born in Albany, Georgia and grew up in Greenville, Florida…maybe his childhood could be a normal happy one if it was not to happen for his brother to die and him to be there to see it.

RAY OF LIGHT--- RAY CHARLES, The movie.
Review of Ray DVD by tomi111 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Really innovative. One of the best reenactment of a legend
Disadvantages Some unneccesary Inclusion.

...Ray Charles.... The act...... One of the best reenactment of a legend I have ever watched. It's really touching. When I was watching the advert alone, I was moved. :" The story of a man who fought harder and went farther than anyone thought possible". That's really true. And the man who reenacted this legend? Oh! Jammie Foxx did a really great job, he really transformed himself into Ray Charles. He brought out perfectly the life and career of him,made an incredible performance,and made the movie generally a worthwhile one. Jammie himself went far than anyone thought possible in this partiular movie, having to really go blind by wearing prosthetics for many hours, just to make himself be like the real Ray, he attended classes at the Braille institute to play the role better. Why, he even played the piano in all scenes HIMSELF... Read review
