Mr. Ramone is mostly known these days thanks to a multitude of the late career blockbuster galas he produced for a lot of musicians. The fact we find him on Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company should make us nod, we expect him to be there. Then again, I keep asking myself what his style of producing is. I mean, why did Ray Charles work with him back then? One could claim Mr. Ramone transformed the tunes he produced into something quite lush. There's nothing wrong with that, one notices his LPs sound expensive. However, they have to be like this, they represent most of their players' last hurrah. We can certainly sense Genius Loves Company in this view, Mr. Charles died before the platter, which celebrated his incredible career, got released.
