Yes Indeed! Ray Charles – A Photographic Retrospective at The GRAMMY Museum®

to Join Some of Charles’ Friends and Colleagues for Intimate Panel Discussion

 

WHO:       Some of Ray Charles’ closest friends and colleagues whose experiences provide priceless and enlightening insight into the life of the legendary musician.  Moderated by Bob Santelli, Executive Director of The GRAMMY Museum, panelists will include former Raelett, Dr. Mable John, who performed countless times with Charles; Victor Vanacore, Charles’ music director from 1991-2004;  Charles’ biographer and world famous author David Ritz; Valerie Ervin, President of the Ray Charles Foundation; and Tony Gumina, President of the Ray Charles Marketing Group.

 

WHAT:     Hosted by GENESIS PUBLICATIONS and The GRAMMY Museum, in association with the Ray Charles Marketing Group and the Ray Charles Foundation, to launch Genesis’ newest limited edition book Ray Charles – Yes Indeed! Photographs by Joe Adams, some of Charles’ friends and colleagues will join together for an intimate discussion about the legendary musician with rare video and photographs.  With topics ranging from Charles’ self perception, working with Charles in the office and doing business with him, creating music with Charles to performing on stage with him, the panelists will provide an insightful look into the life of the legend and musical “genius.”  Accompanying the discussion will be rare video footage from various performances by Charles as well as photos from the book.  Biographer David Ritz will be on hand to sign and personalize purchased copies of Yes Indeed!, following the discussion.

OTHER:     Ray Charles – Yes Indeed! Photographs by Joe Adams celebrates the life of the legendary Ray Charles in a collection of never before seen photos and text on the life of the musician, featuring commentary by Bill Wyman, Willie Nelson, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Tom Waits and David Ritz.  As one of Charles’ closes confidants and advisors during his rise to fame, Charles’ manager and longtime friend Joe Adams was known as “the man behind the man.” For 45 years, Adams nurtured the icon’s career as a manager and captured his time with Charles at work, on stage and in the studio, as documented with over 125 remarkable photos in this high-end, limited edition book, published by Genesis Publications.  Included in the release is a DVD of rare footage from Charles’ many television performances.   The book is available through Genesis Publications at www.genesis-publications.com and The GRAMMY Museum gift shop for £235 (approx. $340.00 USD).  A selection of more Genesis books can be found in retail outlets throughout the United States including:  Paul Smith, Marc by Marc Jacobs (Los Angeles), James Perse, John Varvatos, Taschen (Beverly Hills & SoHo NY), Morrison Hotel Galleries and San Francisco Art Exchange.
