Review title: Genius Got Gone
Product review: Genius Loves Company has Ray Charles sounding as if someone had a fistful of his liver, which wasn't far from the case when these songs were recorded. Terminally ill with degenerative liver disease, Ray was in no condition to record an album. Sadly, the people around him and several of his musical cronies advised him differently.It is impossible to reconcile the Ray Charles on Genius Loves Company with Ray Charles in his prime. The songs on this disc are a sad sendoff to one of America's few true musical geniuses. In most cases the material here sounds as if it was cut and pasted together - Ray doing duets with another artist's voice tracks. The result is insipid to the point of tragedy.If you love Ray Charles or you think that you may, do yourself a favor and pop for Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, at least on that album and many, many others, the genius still lives.
