1967 song by Ray Charles
"
Here We Go Again
" is a
country music
standard
written by
Don Lanier
and
Red Steagall
that first became notable as a
rhythm and blues
single by
Ray Charles
from his 1967 album
Ray Charles Invites You to Listen
. It was produced by Joe Adams for
ABC Records
/
Tangerine Records
. To date, this version of the song has been the biggest commercial success, spending twelve consecutive weeks on the
US
Billboard
Hot 100 chart
, peaking at number 15.
The most notable
cover version
is a duet by Charles and
Norah Jones
, which appeared on the 2004 album
Genius Loves Company
. This version has been the biggest critical success. After
Genius Loves Company
was released, "Here We Go Again" earned
Grammy Awards
for
Record of the Year
and
Best Pop Collaboration
at the
47th Grammy Awards
in February 2005, posthumously for Charles, who died before the album's release. Another notable version by
Nancy Sinatra
charted for five weeks in 1969.
Johnny Duncan
charted the song on
Billboard

Roy Clark
did so for seven weeks in 1982.
The song has been covered in a wide variety of musical genres. In total, five different versions have been listed on the music charts. Although its two most successful versions have been rhythm and blues recordings, many of its other notable covers were featured on country music albums. "Here We Go Again" was first covered in an instrumental jazz format, and many of the more recent covers have been sung as
duets
, such as one with
Willie Nelson
and Norah Jones with
Wynton Marsalis
accompanying. The song was released on their 2011
tribute album
Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles
. The song lent its name to Red Steagall's 2007 album as well. Cover versions have appeared on
compilation albums
by a number of artists, even some who did not release "Here We Go Again" as a single.
Original version
[
edit
]
In November 1959, after twelve years as a professional musician, Ray Charles signed with ABC Records, following the expiration of his
Atlantic Records
contract.
According to Will Friedwald in
A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers
, "His first four ABC albums were all primarily devoted to
standards
..."
[2]
In the 1960s, he experienced
crossover
success with both rhythm and blues and country music. Because Charles was signed to ABC as a rhythm and blues singer, he decided to wait until his contract was up for its three-year renewal before experimenting with country music, although he wanted to do so sooner. With the assistance of ABC executive
Sid Feller
, he gathered a set of country songs to record, despite the wishes of ABC.
The release of his 1962 country albums
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
and its follow-up
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2
broadened the appeal of his music to the mainstream. At this point, Charles began to appeal more to a white audience.
In 1962 he founded his own record label, Tangerine Records, which ABC-Paramount promoted and distributed.
"Here We Go Again" was recorded during a phase in Charles' career when he was focused on performing country music.
[7]
Thus, "Here We Go Again" was a country music song released by the Tangerine label ABC-Paramount, but performed in Charles' rhythm and blues style. However, his works did not bear the Tangerine label until 1968.
Feller left ABC in 1965,
but he returned to
arrange
Charles' 1967 album,
Ray Charles Invites You to Listen
.
Joe Adams produced and
engineered
the album, which included "Here We Go Again".
First released by Charles in 1967, "Here We Go Again" was written by Lanier and Steagall and published by the Dirk Music Company.
[11]
Charles recorded it at RPM International Studios, Los Angeles,
[12]
[13]
and the song was listed as the sixth of ten tracks on
Ray Charles Invites You to Listen
.
[14]
[15]
[16]
Starting in 1987, it was included in numerous
greatest hits
and compilation albums.
[17]
When
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
was reissued in 1988, the song was added as a bonus track.
[12]
[13]
It was also included on the 1988 album
Ray Charles Anthology
.
[18]
Composition
[
edit
]
According to the sheet music published by Dirk Music, "Here We Go Again" is set in 12/8 time with a slow shuffle
tempo
of sixty-nine
beats per minute
. The song is written in the
key
of
B
♭
major
.
[19]
It is primarily a country song,
[20]
but contains
gospel
influences.
[21]
According to Matthew Greenwald of
Allmusic
, "'Here We Go Again' is a soulful ballad in the Southern
blues
tradition. Lyrically, it has a resignation and pain that makes the blues, simply, what it is. The recording has a simple and sterling gospel arrangement and, in retrospect, is one of Charles' finer attempts in the studio from the 1960s."
[22]
Reception
[
edit
]
Greenwald described the original version of "Here We Go Again" as "Another excellent example of how Ray Charles was able to fuse blues and country".
[22]
In a review for the single, a writer for
Billboard
magazine wrote that the song could easily be a "blockbuster" for Charles.
[20]
The original version debuted at number 79 on the
Billboard
Hot 100 chart in the May 20, 1967, issue and number 48 on the
US
Billboard
Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles top 50 chart
on June 10, 1967.
[23]
[24]
For the weeks ending July 15, 22 and 29, the song spent three weeks at its peak position of number 15 on the Hot 100 chart.
[25]
[26]
It spent July 22 and 29 at its peak position of number 5 on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.
[27]
[28]
By August 12, it fell out the Hot 100 chart, ending a 12-week run.
[29]
It remained on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart for 13 weeks ending on September 2.
[30]
[31]
"Here We Go Again" was Charles' last single to enter the top twenty of the Hot 100.
For the year 1967 the song finished at number 80 on the
US
Billboard
Year-End
Hot 100 chart and 33 on the Year-End Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.
[33]
Abroad, it debuted on the
UK Singles Chart
top 40 at number 38 on July 8, 1967, which would be its peak.
[34]
It totalled 3 non-consecutive weeks on the chart.
[35]
[36]
In the Netherlands, "Here We Go Again" appeared on the
singles chart
at number 10 on July 15, 1967, and later peaked at number three.
[37]
According to
Will Friedwald
, this song is an example of Charles vocalizing in what would ordinarily be a generally extraneous manner for dramatic effect by using a different voice than he had ever previously exhibited. He sang "... not just using the squeak?using a whole new kind of squeak, in fact?for additional coloring on the sidelines, but making it the heart of the matter, literally squeaking out the words and notes in harmony with
the Raelettes
" (his
background singers
).

Nancy Sinatra version
[
edit
]
Nancy Sinatra
recorded a cover of the song for her 1969 album
Nancy
, which was her first album after ending her business relationship with producer
Lee Hazlewood
.
[42]
The cover, which according to programming guides had an
easy listening
and country music appeal,
[43]
was produced by
Billy Strange
.
[44]
[45]
The
B-side
to the single, "
Memories
", was written by Strange along with
Mac Davis
.
[45]
[46]
Billboard
magazine staff reviewed the song favorably, stating that the cover was a "smooth sing-a-long pop style".
[45]
They also commended Sinatra's singing, calling it a "fine" performance, noting that it would likely return her to the
Billboard
charts.
[45]
Sinatra's version was later
remastered
and reissued in 1996.

Norah Jones and Ray Charles duet version
[
edit
]
In 2004, Charles re-recorded "Here We Go Again" as a duet with American singer-songwriter
Norah Jones
, who grew up listening to his music.
[64]
During Jones'
Billboard
interview for her 2010 collaboration album
...Featuring
, which included her "Here We Go Again" duet, she said "I got a call from Ray asking if I'd be interested in singing on this duets record. I got on the next plane and I brought my mom. We went to his studio and did it live with the band. I sang it right next to Ray, watching his mouth for the phrasing. He was very sweet and put me at ease, which was great because I was petrified walking in there."
[65]
She noted in one
...Featuring
interview that the only part that was not done live was a piano overlay that she added afterwards to complement Charles' keyboard. In the same interview, she noted that she had been given the opportunity to select a song from Charles' songbook to perform as a duet and felt that this one provided the best opportunity to harmonize rather than alternate vocal verses.
[66]
On the record, the two singers vocalize,
[67]
accompanied by
Billy Preston
on
Hammond organ
,
[69]
who had at one time been the regular organist in Charles' band.
[64]
Reception
[
edit
]
As part of Charles'
Grammy Award for Album of the Year
-winning
Genius Loves Company
, the song proved to be the most popular and critically acclaimed on the album. Although the song had its early detractors,
[70]
[71]
it received mostly favorable reviews. Several reviewers noted the complementarity of Jones and Charles.
The Daily Vault
's
Jason Warburg described the song as a "jazzy, slinky
pas de deux
" in which Charles matches Jones note for note."
[72]
JazzTimes
'
Christopher Loudon said Charles "blends seamlessly with Jones on a velvet-and-
buckram
" performance.
[73]
The song was described by the
Orlando Sentinel
's
Jim Abbott as a recreation of one of the gems from Charles' country music phase of the 1960s that produced the perfect "combination of voices and instruments" with Preston's accompanying role on
Hammond B3
.
[7]
As opposed to other tracks on the album, when Charles' voice was understated, this song was said to represent his "indomitable spirit", while Jones performed as "an empathetic foil, [with] her warm, lazy vocals meshing convivially with his over a spare but funky arrangement".
[64]
Author Mike Evans wrote that "there's a mutual warmth of purpose in every breath [Charles and Jones] take" on the song.
Music Week
staff noted the timeliness of the release with the biographical film
Ray
in theaters and described the song as soulful, that finely combines Charles' "deep, honeyed growl with Jones's lighter timber", while noting Preston for his "sweeping" organ work.
[74]
The song received other specific forms of praise.
Robert Christgau
notes that Jones carried the vocal burden as did many of Charles's duet partners on the album.
[75]
USA Today
's
Steve Jones said the song "strikes an easy groove".
[69]
PopMatters
' Kevin Jagernauth says "Jones nicely compliments Charles on this beautiful opening track".
[21]
Preston's performance was favorably described by
The Washington Post
's
Richard Harrington as "smoky".
[64]
Critic Randy Lewis from the
Chicago Tribune
noted that the song's "countrified ache" represented that part of Charles' career.
[76]
When the song was included on Jones'
...Featuring
, which included three of her collaborations from Albums of the Year and several from albums that were nominees,
[77]
the song did not stand out. Few of the reviews at
Metacritic
had substantive comments on the duet when included among her group of collaborations.
[78]
While reviewing
...Featuring
, Jonathan Keefe of
Slant Magazine
wrote that the duet was a "more staid and less compelling recording" on the album.
[79]
However, Allmusic staff noted that she worked comfortably with Charles and Chris Rizik of
Soul Tracks
said the track was more than just filler.
[80]
[81]
Awards and nominations
[
edit
]
In December 2004, the Jones?Charles version of the song was nominated in two categories at the
47th Grammy Awards
.
[82]
At the February 13, 2005 awards ceremony, the duet earned the award for
Record of the Year
and
Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals
.
[83]
It was the second Record of the Year winner not to make the Hot 100 (following "
Walk On
" in 2001 by
U2
).
[84]
The song won Record of the Year, but not
Song of the Year
. Record of the Year is awarded to the artist(s), producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s), if other than artist for newly recorded material. Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter(s) of a new song or a song first achieving prominence during the eligibility year.
[85]
Steagall and Lanier are credited as the writers of this song from their work on its original version in 1967.

[130]
Although critique of this track is sparse,
Pop Matters

[135]
The
iTunes Store
describes the album as the result of a transition in eras of country music.
[136]
The song plays during the opening credit dance by Franz (
Harry Baer
) and Margarethe (
