Behind the Scenes of Genious Loves Company "Getting to record with Ray has been a lifelong dream, and being part of this project has been one of the proudest and most moving moments in my life." -Bonnie Raitt "The Genius of Soul, the King of the Blues, the fifth Beatle -- not the least bit intimidating, I think it happened with virtually everybody who hadn't worked with him before. But it didn't last too long. He respected all these artists." -Producer John Burk on working with Ray Charles, B.B. King and Billy Preston. "He is not just an ordinary singer, musician or icon. He's the best of the best." -Johnny Mathis on Ray Charles "The emotion in the room when we were recording that track was overwhelming,There wasn't a dry eye in the control room-and these are very experienced people who have seen a lot of things." -John Burk describes recording with Ray "I was so excited to be singing with Ray and when I sat down next to him with an 80-piece orchestra I was struck by what an awesome event it was." -Michael Mcdonald recalls his work on "Genius"
