On April 24, 1979, this became the official state song of Georgia, replacing a song title 'Georgia.' Ray Charles performed the song the ceremony that day, where it was decreed: The song 'Georgia on My Mind,' with lyrics by Mr. Stuart Gorrell and music by Mr. Hoagy Carmichael, has an enduring quality that has made it one of the best loved songs in America for many years. Although 'Georgia on My Mind' describes a Georgian's love for his state, its beautiful melody and lyrics have given the song a worldwide appeal.

'Georgia on My Mind' has been recorded by many outstanding artists, but the rendition by Mr. Ray Charles, a native Georgian, which was first recorded in 1958, has been greatly enjoyed by music lovers throughout the world. It is appropriate that the official State song should be a beautiful song that has wide appeal throughout the country, and 'Georgia on My Mind' is an outstanding example of these qualities.

Ray's recordings with his Orchestra were an inspiration to British pop R&B singers and musicians like myself in the 60s. Saw Ray live at the Victoria Theatre London 1964. Unfortunatly Ray did too much jazzy improvisation on 'Georgia On My Mind' and in my mind ruined it. The trouble with many famous artistes is maybe not being satisfied with the recorded version that is imprinted in our minds and messing about with notes and tempo's etc. Elvis for one. That said Brilliant talents that get it right on vynil. Amen Terry - Wakefield, United Kingdom. Toast Titanium Divx Codec Mac there.

I didn't know anything about the composers of 'Georgia on My Mind'--or that one of them, Hoagy Carmichael, had a sister named Georgia--until I found this site, but it was always clear to me that the song was originally about a woman, even though the U.S. State of Georgia later adopted it as its official song.

I was a Beatles fan before I'd heard of Ray Charles, but I learned that the band was influenced by Charles and other R&B artists. Paul McCartney's reference to 'Georgia on My Mind' in 'Back in the U.S.S.R'--rendered as 'and Georgia's always on my mind'--is both a reference to the former Soviet republic of Georgia, and a tribute to Ray Charles.

'Back in the U.S.S.R' is a tribute to the Beach Boys & 'California Girls', of course. Helen - Campbell, Ca.

This song has absolutely NOTHING to do with the state of Georgia. Hoagy Carmichael was born just north of my hometown of Kokomo, Indiana in Peru, Indiana, not in Georgia and attended Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana! He wrote this song when he was in New York City writing a score for a Broadway musical. The song is, in deed, dedicated to his sister Georgia who he was very close to and missed while he was in New York City. My parents were friends of Hoagy Carmichael and he told them how and why this song was written! (thanks - Stormy Werbe, Kokomo, Indiana) Stormy - Kokomo, In.
