This is a great ADULT album and it deserves the Grammy. Sympathy vote or not, this is a fine goodbye from one of the very best in music. The arrangements and the production are as good as it gets and the vocal performances are first rate. I read reviews saying that Ray's voice sounded weak but I don't agree. He still hit the high notes as well as anybody and his playfulness and emotions ring through. The only shame is that you have to wait until the last cut to hear his great duet with Van Morrisson. The younger generation may not have much appreciation for this kind of music but I'm glad that those who understand the artistry involved in this kind of endeavor voted with their hearts and ears and put it on the pedestal it deserves.
