Come Live With Me represents a creative peak that sounds fresher in 2025 than it may have in 1974. The fi rst album on his Crossover label, it lives up to the label’s name by showcasing the man’s singular ability to cross over to any audience by making songs from any time or genre undeniably his own.
Each side of Come Live With Me sets a seamless mood: Side 1 is a romantic suite of lush, late-
night ballads, while a non-stop soul party is cooking on side 2. This two-sides-of-a- Saturday-night concept lets Ray Charles blend modern sounds and timeless traditions in ways no other artist ever could.
Removed from the trappings and tropes of the mid-’70s music scene, and fully restored and remastered in cooperation with the Ray Charles Foundation, Come Live With Me is fi nally ready to be appreciated as the masterpiece it always was.
