Ray Charles - Georgia on my Mind










'Georgia on my Mind' is a classic blues song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930 and sung by Ray Charles in 1960. The song was originally written for Georgia Carmichael, however, it is universally believed to have been written about the state of Georgia and thus is now the official state song for Georgia. 

Ray Charles is one of the classic blues artists along side of people like Otis Redding, Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone. If you are a fan of blues or jazz have a listen to this song and his other songs.
