My name is Georgia. My dad's family was from Georgia. I was born in 1941 and Daddy insisted I would be named Georgia! Many years later, I was a student at Ohio State University in Ohio and a guy dated got tickets to surprise me to see Ray Charles and the Rayettes at the Auditorium. What a show it was!! One of the best nights of my life..Ray Charles is a master of song and when he sang "Georgia On My Mind" , I had tears in my eyes..so beautiful! I'll never forget it!
Una delle mie due figlie si chiama Giorgia e mi piace sentire cantare Ray Charles, che è bravissimo,questa canzone...perché mi sembra di dedicarla a Lei e non alla sua Regione. Mi piace pensare così.❤️💋 Grazie Ray ❤️💋🙏🏻🌹
Ray Charles what a great human being. He was born dirt poor, went blind at 8 years old. His mother, not able to support him with no money, sent him away. He learned to play the piano and performed in clubs. He was booked at a club in Georgia, but refused to go on because it was segregated. He was a drug addict and kicked the habit cold turkey. After he cleaned himself up, he was welcomed to Georgia as their fellow Georgian. He went ont to become a philanthropist donating his money to poor countries. God rest his soul.
I am white,British from Liverpool,UK ,and in the 1960's my late father who was a merchant seafarer brought back a stack of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke records from a voyage he made from Liverpool to Jacksonville,Florida. I was seven years old at the time, but these two wonderful singers and their beautiful music have stayed in my heart and mind ever since. Thanks Dad,you had great taste.
I saw an interview with Billy Joel on tube. He said he (and many artists) feel/felt like Ray had the best voice and many singers wanted to sound like him. He said of all the people that tried, Joe Cocker pulled it off, more than anyone else. And that's interesting, because the two performed together and Joe even said himself that his body language is such that he tried to be like Ray... and it took on a life of its own. Anyway, I love this tune. I think it might be one of the best written (and sung) songs ever. Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World's got to be up there.
Totally agree, I scroll down while listening and pretty much always find someone whose life has been changed by a particular song. The deep human connection to music is just amazing!
I'm 57 white and kinda fat but ever since I was in my early 20s and I really started listening to a broader spectrum of music I heard Georgia on my mind and I still listen to it with anticipation. The pause when he first sings Georgia at the beginning of the song captures me every time. His voice is timeless to me!
Just because someone is over weight doesn't always mean it's a choice, sometimes it's medically! Where's your compassion, we need less of that rudeness and more heart for others @@poilochien
Playing this historically epic song while driving through Georgia. Ray Charles refused to perform at a theater in Augusta, Georgia, because the sitting arrangement was segregated.
Ray could/can SEE SO MANY THINGS That so many people with 2 perfectly working 👀's could/can NEVER SEE! Ray never spoke as if he was a blind man either! He is constantly in conversation, interviews, music, & etc, saying things like "well the way I look at it", or "as far as I can see it" when Ray spoke/speaks on Seattle which he often called/calls his second home he would/does say "when I got to Seattle I could see that it was different, I can see that there is a lot more opportunity for me to be able to get up & do my music here!" Thanks for stopping by the show here in, on, & at Seattle Sir Mr. Ray Charles! ✌️💜🎶~206
My dad knew the author in 1946. The Best Years of Our Lives. William Wyler. On film in the bar. Stone Mountain loves brother Ray. Flagler College, alumni.
Sitting here listening with my 89 year old father. It may be the last time I see him... He loves beautiful music ❤ EDIT My Father passed away peacefully on the evening of July 28. I'm so glad we listened to music together. He enjoyed it so much.
I don't hear Ray "singing" this song... I hear Ray "crying" this song, which is more than a simple song.... it is an ecstasy that pulls the thread of time, memories and life that stays, stays, stays and we are unable to recover lost time. Nothing comes back. Just Ray crying the Georgia Anthem.
I was featured electric bass player in a trio that performed Georgia on My Mind and other Ray Charles songs with Ray Charles in Charleston, West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Ray Charles told the entire orchestra during the rehearsal that, the bass player, "me", could really play. The compliment from him was the thrill of a lifetime for me. It was cool. Another 15 minutes of fame.
Hogey Carmichael gave life to this beautiful song but Ray Charles gave it its soul. As a native Alabamaian, I’m jealous that my neighboring state has such a beautiful song as its state song.
I was born in northeast Georgia. Lived in the same town for 30 years. Three months ago, I moved to Belgium. While it's better over here in some ways, nothing compares to the beautiful nature in Georgia. The trails, the animals, the rivers, the hills, playing in the forest, prinitive camping surrounded by nothing but trees and streams, the food. I live out in the countryside, but it's still so dense and flat compared to Georgia. I still miss it every day.
Please don't call yourself a freak. We all have our struggles, strengths, and I know what it's like to feel anxious now and then. You are an "Overcomer." Check out the song & video from Mandisa.
Ray was the greatest!! He had so many obstacles to confront & did not complain for a minute! He accomplished so much we should all realize that there is no obstacle we cannot overcome! Thanks you Ray for your beautiful & strong life!
Good point. He overcame obstacles, MANY man-made bullshit borne out of vanity and viciousness. Lets talk about the genesis of those obstacles for a minute.
Georgia, Georgia The whole day through (the whole day through) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said Georgia Georgia A song of you (a song of you) Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I said Georgia Oh Georgia, no peace I find (no peace I find) Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Whoa-whoa, Georgia Georgia No peace, no peace I find Just an old, sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind
Sou de Curitiba , cidade do sul do Brasil,minha filha amanhã fará 34 anos,chama se Geórgia e é profissional da música.Quando estudante de música,a professora fez questão que ela tocasse essa música.Emocionante!
Beautiful & heart touching song♥️🌹 How are you doing today? I Hope it's been a beautiful day out here? I Guess you love listening to beautiful like this? I hope to hear from you soon as you have a nice day.
Currently, my girlfriend and I are roadtripping from Michigan to Florida, and we're in Georgia.. listening to this 😄 Georgia, your highways are BEAUTIFUL! And they're so CLEAN!
It's a tradition for a graduating student at UGA to sing this during the graduation ceremony. They knock it out of the park every time. I LOVE GEORGIA. GO DAWGS
I’m 22, and you can feel the emotion, the love, the reverence, the passion in ray charles voice when it comes to his homestate. Gives me goosebumps every time i listen, it brings me back to me and my mom watching the movie after school.
I will always remember this song playing during a very sad episode of one of my favorite shows, "Quantum Leap". A great song and a super talented man. RIP, Ray.
It was 1959, I was a young Marine Cpl. stationed in Camp Koza, Okinawa; I went to a bar in four corners, Koza. Old Corps Okinawa Marines will understand. There I heard, for the first time, a recording of Ray Charles's Georgia on My Mind. It's been on my mind ever since.
I applaud this performance by brother Steven and give it a big thumbs up! Ps: Ray Charles played many instruments - trumpet, clarinet, organ, saxophone and piano. Ray Charles called Chopin, Sibelius, Duke Ellington and jazz giants Count Basie, Art Tatum and Artie Shaw his teachers. His most famous song is "Georgia on my Mind". But you sang a later one in the rock and roll style, when Ray Charles abandoned writing his own songs and interpreted the hits of those time
No se necesita ser anglófono para comprender que esta canción habla del amor al terruño, a la " patria chica" al lugar de los afectos firmes y duraderos, donde se aprendieron los valores y pricipios que son la brújula que guia nuestro caminar por el mundo. Hermoso y conmovedor homenaje .
@@kenferguson1998 Oh, really?? Bless her and bless you. I needed to hear this song just now. Thank you for commenting and making it happen. Maybe our Mary Alice’s are smiling down on us together as we listen to this gorgeous piece of music. I get way sentimental about my grandmother
I lived in Georgia for a short while and loved it when one radio signed off, "Ladies and Gentlemen, our State Song." It took a few years, but the Legislature finally agreed.
😂 bro they stole our ppl and made them love the place they took them too its wild,,but if a black boy from Georgia comes to europé he aint gonna look for no georgian people only other black people 😂😉👑🖤
No ones gonna see this probably.. but im 23 and i think i was born in the wrong era.. this classic is beautiful. That goes for all songs from 1950 to the 80s
Long before Georgia graced the state with this classic Ray Charles song, it topped the Billboard top 100 on my birthday in 1960. I love it as much now, as then. 🎹🎙🎶
My mother used to play this record when i was a child; so it engrained in my memory; unlike rest of my generation, i was lucky to have been exposed to Ray Charles, his beautiful music and violins. Loved and miss him.
I am from Georgia, a little country in Europe near the Black sea (invaded by Russia many times, last in 2008). I often listen to this song. It is great!
OMG listening to this and I’m in high school again….the best! I saw Ray Charles live at the Greek Theater in 1961 and it was magic. RIP sir and thank you for enriching my life ❤️❤️❤️
Not many people know Hoagy Carmichael wrote this song for his sister Georgia. So many think of the state, but I suppose that’s what made the song popular. Ray sings it very well, but I still prefer to hear Hoagy sing it.
It's all about what the PUBLIC likes. Ray is known worldwide. I just learned about him today. He wrote this song because he missed his sister whose name was Georgia. Soooo it's all good.
@Georgia. I'm so glad for you! I also was fortunate enough to see the incomparable Ray Charles live in SF in the 70s with the Raylettes and Merry Clayton who later sang Give me Shelter with the Stones. My granny from Georgia helped raise me when my father left when I was 3. Her favorite song was Georgia on my mind! RIP granny and Ray! GBY always. Jim
This song sends chills down my spine everytime. Makes me want to move to Georgia, name my first daughter Georgia and be as passionate about and love something as much as Ray loved Georgia. I feel like I don’t even deserve to listen to this song it’s so perfect.
Hi from the U.K. Loved this song since I first heard it as a child. Ray was one of America's finest. Thanks to my dad for listening & passing on his love of great Music. R.I.P dad & missing you. 💝
Something so moving about a black man singing a love song to a red state, particularly a blind man. I think this song touches our highest aspirations as Americans: united, grateful, but still this longing for something or somewhere. It should probably be our national anthem (if only we could all sing it like this)

He was a musical revolutionary.

To creating the official song of Georgia.....Ray you are legend❤️
Ray Charles didn’t actually write the song. He covered the song; Hoagy Carmichael was the one who wrote it in the 1930s.
May b 😂😂😂
He was banned from Georgia while his song was the state song lol
How ironic

How ironic: a blind man saw the world brighter than 99% of humanity.
Long live legend, your music will keep you alive 😢🎹

Because he didn’t see all the horrors of humanity I guess 🤷♂️

It was also the theme song for Designing Women as well however there were no lyrics involved due to how the song was performed for the show.
Me too, some brings me to tears 😊
The great Ray Charles.....simply the best of the best....
Brutta canzone
Just watched "Ray" (again)/ This brings me to tears. I was born in 1949 so this is the music of my youth.
I SAW RAY CHARLES IN AN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL IN AACHEN, GERMANY: IT WAS GREAT!!! One of the best hours in my life.

Nada disso, ele era impedido de cantar nesse estado da Geórgia, pois existe muita segregação lá.
Até hoje negros e brancos se odeiam.
So, why did white agree to keep this song as the hymn of their state?

You have great taste in music, your and old soul in a young body, and believe me ,that is a very good thing. Take care and God bless !!
Long before Georgia graced the state with this classic Ray Charles song, it topped the Billboard top 100 on my birthday in 1960. I love it as much now, as then. 🎹🎙🎶
Had to listen as I keep singing it in my head. Ray Charles is touching my soul with this one. The back up singers bring life as well. Love it!
My mother used to play this record when i was a child; so it engrained in my memory; unlike rest of my generation, i was lucky to have been exposed to Ray Charles, his beautiful music and violins. Loved and miss him.
I am from Georgia, a little country in Europe near the Black sea (invaded by Russia many times, last in 2008). I often listen to this song. It is great!
The fact that this makes you think about your homeland as well is what makes music so special….Love to you Nana. Be Safe 💯❤️
abkhazia 4 life!!
When a Song that Appreciates a Hometown is THIS POPULAR , its IMMORTAL
What a voice, what a live, what a career, what a achievement... what a man. I love you, Ray.
Smiles, hi Leonore 👋

Georgia What A BEAUTIFUL STATE 🙂
This song works 3 ways:
For a Girl named Georgia, for the state of Georgia and the country of Georgia
ნახსენები საქართველო!!!
The Ukraine girls really knock me out.
This is like the most beautiful I’ve ever heard in my life
My Mom turned me on to Ray Charles as a kid in the 60's. When we were adults, I won tickets to see him and took her! We were far from disappointed!
OMG listening to this and I’m in high school again….the best! I saw Ray Charles live at the Greek Theater in 1961 and it was magic. RIP sir and thank you for enriching my life ❤️❤️❤️
Hello how are you doing
@@LukeXuanNguyen Fine thanks
@@dianalee3059 you’re welcome…where are you from?
Extraordinario.
Hoagy Carmichael is one of the most under-appreciated composers and songwriters of all time.
Not many people know Hoagy Carmichael wrote this song for his sister Georgia. So many think of the state, but I suppose that’s what made the song popular. Ray sings it very well, but I still prefer to hear Hoagy sing it.
I agree
It's all about what the PUBLIC likes. Ray is known worldwide. I just learned about him today. He wrote this song because he missed his sister whose name was Georgia. Soooo it's all good.
By the way, Willie Nelson recorded it too!! Amazing really!!
SO TURE!!!
@Georgia. I'm so glad for you! I also was fortunate enough to see the incomparable Ray Charles live in SF in the 70s with the Raylettes and Merry Clayton who later sang Give me Shelter with the Stones. My granny from Georgia helped raise me when my father left when I was 3. Her favorite song was Georgia on my mind! RIP granny and Ray! GBY always. Jim
i love how these people turn the commnt section if these songs into a place to share stories, troubles, and commemorations. its so heart-warming.
The GOAT of Blues : Ray Charles !
The talent of today is nothing compared to this music...the music of MY generation. Ray Charles; no one quite as soulful.
I am s Welsh man and very old I only visited Georgia once but it stays in my mind a beutiful.facinating state
Nieustannie unosisz moja wrażliwość w prosty do gwiazd - nieba, w którym jesteś nadwornym muzykiem aniołów.
Classy, smooth,
elegant and beautiful….brought tears to my eyes. Classic..
Thank you, Georgia!!🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Meravigliosa, solo Ray la poteva interpretare nel modo che ascoltiamo!
Thank you Ray!!!!!❤❤❤❤ Georgia is on my mind today as well… 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
This song sends chills down my spine everytime. Makes me want to move to Georgia, name my first daughter Georgia and be as passionate about and love something as much as Ray loved Georgia. I feel like I don’t even deserve to listen to this song it’s so perfect.
Smiles, hi Shane 👋
This changed popular music forever
all love
Hi from the U.K. Loved this song since I first heard it as a child. Ray was one of America's finest. Thanks to my dad for listening & passing on his love of great Music. R.I.P dad & missing you. 💝
Música ouvida por vários Presidentes Americanos
Obra prima de Ray Charles😂❤
MIraculous...Mellifluous...and most of all....lyrically and melodically perfect! Ray Charles is just incomparable in every way:)
Something so moving about a black man singing a love song to a red state, particularly a blind man. I think this song touches our highest aspirations as Americans: united, grateful, but still this longing for something or somewhere. It should probably be our national anthem (if only we could all sing it like this)
Classical legendary ICON Ray Charles!!! 🙏♥️🌹
