Willie and Wynton Pay Tribute to Ray Charles
Many consider the late Ray Charles one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Two of his biggest fans are entertainment icons 1 themselves, Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis. The pair pay tribute to their musical hero with "Here We Go Again: Celebrating The Genius Of Ray Charles."
A Ray Charles classic from the 1960s, "Busted 2" features the unlikely vocal 3 pairing of country veteran Willie Nelson and jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Of course, Ray was a pioneer when it came to mixing musical genres 4, so it's no surprise that these two modern innovators decided 5 to join forces on a tribute album dedicated 6 to the man known simply as the "Genius."
This isn't the first time Willie and Wynton performed together. In 2007, they collaborated 7 on the Number One jazz album "Two Men With the Blues," recorded live at Lincoln Center in New York City. Two years later, they teamed up again on their salute 8 to Ray Charles, also recorded in concert at Lincoln Center. They were supported by a five-piece band and a special guest vocalist.
Ten-time Grammy winner Norah Jones joins the Ray Charles tribute on "Come Rain Or Come Shine." Ray recorded a version of this Harold Arlen-Johnny Mercer hit for his 1959 album, "The Genius of Ray Charles."
Norah also sings a duet with Willie Nelson on the title track "Here We Go Again," as well as the ballads 9 "Cryin' Time," and "You Don't Know Me." All three stars, Willie, Wynton and Norah, sing the Ray Charles favorites "What I'd Say" and "Hit The Road Jack 10."
