'Yes Indeed!' Wins A Grammy Launch Night

On Tuesday (12th May) a private audience of GRAMMY members and Genesis subscribers were treated to an evening dedicated to the new limited edition book, 'Ray Charles, Yes Indeed!' Hosted at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles it featured a presentation of rare footage and music and was preceded by a panel discussion with Dr. Mable John, lead singer of The Raeletts and co-writer & producer of over 52 songs with Ray Charles; Ray's Musical Director, Victor A. Vanacore; John Burk, award-winning producer (Genius Loves Company) who has worked with artists such as Paul McCartney, James Taylor and Norah Jones; and Ray's biographer, David Ritz, who has added the Afterword to 'Yes Indeed!' All were available to sign books afterwards.

Every copy from the sale of this new limited edition benefits children with hearing disabilities. This charitable work is overseen by Valerie Ervin, President of The Ray Charles Foundation who was in attendance with Tony Gumina, President of The Ray Charles Marketing Group.

After a night of warm stories and moving recollections the book proved to be a hit with the GRAMMY audience. A limited number of deluxe copies remain available - click here to order your copy.
