Legacy of Ray Charles
RAY CHARLES: GENIUS LOVES COMPANY
EMI, Rs.350
This album in which the great Ray Charles teams up in duets with a host of other singers, is a delight from first to last and most aptly named. The spirit of collaboration between highly talented artistes, the sheer joy of music with heart and soul, comes through in each of the numbers. The album brings alive the musical legacy of Ray Charles, his wonderful, throaty voice, the passion behind the lyrics and the challenging, satisfying world of jazz music. The sensuous appeal hits you with the very first number, "Here We Go Again" with Norah Jones. There is the fun and passionate "Fever" in which he teams up with Natalie Cole, the touching "Sorry Seems the Hardest Word" with Elton John, the faith-filled "Heaven Help Us All" with Gladys Knight, and a stream of other fine pieces. This is an album that makes you grateful for the technology that allows us to preserve great voices for posterity.
