Ray Charles - Genius loves company album cover | |
Genius Loves Company is a 2004 album by Ray Charles, consisting of duets between Charles and musicians. The contributing artists were personally chosen by Ray Charles. It was the last album he completed before his death. At the Grammys on February 14, 2005, it won eight awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for the song "Here We Go Again".
Genius Loves Company was produced as a collaboration of Concord Records and Hear Music, the music label of the coffee chain Starbucks. It was the first original (non-compilation) release by Hear Music. The great commercial success of the album (over 5.5 million copies were sold worldwide up to 2007) has been attributed in part to it being distributed and promoted via Starbucks coffeehouses.
