If you say to me, do I think I am a genius - I'm not a fool," [Ray Charles Robinson] said. "First of all, I know I'm not a genius. At least not in my own mind. If you say I was a gifted human being, I would think you are right. I'm gifted in the sense that I can do a lot of things in music well.

CHER NOT GOING COUNTRY AFTER ALL Mark Bright, who has produced the likes of Reba McEntire, Rascal Flats, Carrie Underwood and other country stars said in January that that he was in the process of producing a country album with Cher in Nashville.
