好的音乐是没有类型限制，没有所谓的主流或是跨界之类的区隔，只要是传达歌者灵魂深处的情感的歌声就是好的音乐，能做到此一境界的艺人并不多见，Ray Charles肯定是其中之一，传奇巨星法兰克辛纳屈尊称他为“天才The Genius”，乐坛给予他“开创灵魂乐的先锋”的定位，乐迷推崇他是“当代最伟大的流人”“最真实的美国音乐原味”，听过他那综合了节奏蓝调与福音感觉的灵魂乐嗓音，你会发现，最虔诚的灵魂乐莫过于此。 2004年6月10号，Ray Charles因肝病的并发症病逝于加州，享年73岁。灵魂乐教母Aretha Franklin闻讯后，感慨的表示，‘一个伟大的灵魂将受到永远的爱戴…他有一副让人终身难忘的歌声。’出生于乔治亚州的Ray Charles，6岁时因发生青光眼症状导致终身失明，童年在一个乡村、蓝调、灵魂、爵士、Big Band音乐五味杂陈的音乐环境下长大，1954年，他所灌唱的歌曲“I Got A Woman”无疑就是他接受音乐环境薰陶的最佳写照，而这首歌后来就被乐界视为首支灵魂乐作品，1979年，他所灌唱的老歌“Georgia On My Mind”被选为乔治亚州的州歌，1986年入选摇滚名人堂，1988年获颁葛莱美奖的终身成就奖，表彰这位灵魂之父在他的演唱中将灵魂乐的真实本质全然的个人化，2004年，洛杉矶宣布将Ray Charles的录音室规划为历史地标。无论是百事可乐广告片中那位坐在钢琴边说出“you've got the right one baby, uh-huh!”的老顽童，还是在援非饥荒义唱曲“We Are The World”中与工人皇帝Bruce Springsteen神情专注的对唱，或是他赢得个人第12座葛莱美奖时的得奖作品“A Song For You”，Ray Charles歌声中的灵魂本质永远是那么触动人心，他的歌声启发了披头四、史提夫汪达、乔库克以及无数的灵乐手，简单的说，听Ray Charles的音乐，就像是听一个心无杂念的灵魂在唱歌一样，世上再也没有什么比这样的人的了!
“Genius Loves Company”让我们感受到--流行音乐没有所谓的跨界与否的问题，完全在乎于你有没有唱出你的灵魂罢了！
雷·查尔斯曾经荣获过13项格莱美大奖，被称作“灵魂乐之父”，著名《滚石/Rolling Stone》杂志将他评选为历史上最伟大的10位音乐家之一。他6岁时因发生青光眼症状导致终身失明，对他来说，没有色彩的世界里更多的是音乐的陪伴，他说：“打从我出生，音乐就在我的内心滋长，音乐就是我身体的一部分，就像是我的血液一样。”从童年时代他就深受乡村、蓝调、灵魂、爵士、Big Band等不同风格的音乐影响。
1954年，雷·查尔斯录制的歌曲《I Got A Woman》被认为是首支灵魂乐作品，1979年，他的老歌《Georgia On My Mind》被选为乔治亚州的州歌，1986年他入选摇滚名人堂，1988年获颁格莱美终身成就奖，2004年，洛杉矶宣布将雷·查尔斯的录音室规划为历史地标。雷·查尔斯被人称为当代最伟大的流行艺人、开创灵魂乐的先锋，歌迷认为他的音乐代表了最真实的原味美国音乐，他的嗓音融合了节奏蓝调与福音感觉，显得无比虔诚。今年6月，雷·查尔斯因肝病的并发症病逝于加州，享年73岁。
