Georgia on My Mind (Ray Charles)

Hoagy Carmichael wrote the music to "Georgia on My Mind" in 1930. His friend Stuart Gorrell wrote the lyrics. There is no doubt that Georgia native Ray Charles elevated the song to a new level when he recorded his rendition of it in 1960. In 1979, the State of Georgia designated Ray Charles' version the official state song. So here's lookin' at you Georgia. We're singing your song today!
