    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!

      Ray Charles didn’t actually write the song. He covered the song; Hoagy Carmichael was the one who wrote it in the 1930s.

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.

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

    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.

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.

    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.

    Something so moving about a black man singing a love song to a red state, particularly a blind man.
