Ray Charles. Brother Ray. You almost
don't have to say anything else. Singer, pianist, arranger,
saxophonist, pop star, R&B
star, country star... Genius. Ray single-handedly brought
soul music to the world when he blended the gospel music
of his youth with pop music in the late 1950's. Music was
never the same, for which we owe Brother Ray our eternal
gratitude.
In 2003, Ray began working on a CD
of duets with a number of his favorite musicians. Released
in August 2004, "Genius
Love Company" quickly went multi-platinum and won eight
Grammys, including Best Album and Best Song (“Here
We Go Again” with Norah Jones).
We were invited to a number of the recording sessions by our
friend Terry Howard, Ray's engineer for the past 20 years.
Terry was kind enough to let us take some photos for Session
Photo's, which we share with you in these pages.
