    I proudly had the Pastor sing this song at my Mom's funeral service 11/16/2024. She was born in 1929 and her name was Georgia. It was the highlight of the service. and now whenever they hear this song they will think of this tribute to my Mom.

    Can you imagine being a boy in the Midwest, in the 50's and 60's, blind and African American, creating your own musical genre, because there was no music like that, addicted to drugs, discriminated against for your color and disowned for your music???
    Dont do it???

    Had this at my daughter Georgia’s funeral, used to play this to her in my belly and she would kick me so gently, I’m sure she knew it was her song. Such a beautiful song, sadly never thought the lyrics would now haunt me so beautifully. ‘other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly, still In peaceful dreams i see, a road leads back to you’ will treasure this song for always 👼🏻🤍

    It's sad knowing that Ray was once banned from doing shows in his home state of Georgia, because he refused to play segregated shows. This is his gift to the people that once shunned him, a gift returned to him when the Georgia State legislature decided to name his version of this song their official state song.

      Just so you know, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1930 and is about Hoagy's sister, named Georgia (he himself was a native of Indiana). Although a romantic and very inspirational story; it is not the truth.

    Ray Charles would have turned 90 on September 23. 2020. That's why I've listened to almost all of his videos on TH-cam and now I know why I became a jazz musician: I'm 78 years old. In the 50`s and 60`s there was a program on "Radio Luxemburg" between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in which mostly R&B with Ray Charles was played. I was totally electrified and never missed a program. I then learned the saxophone and double bass autodactically and later played with many well-known jazz musicians in Germany and Europe, so I can look back on a very fulfilled life with countless and unique experiences.
    Thank you Ray,
    You were my mentor and
    "BLACK LIVES BETTER"

    Makes me cry whenever I hear it. I had the privilege of standing next to Ray at his piano in 1965 when he played a concert at Northwestern University. This was in 1965, olden times, and the girl had to be back in their dorms by 11pm. Ray was several hour late. There were not many people left at the end. I walked down to his piano, didn't touch him but said "I love you man". The genius .... RAY CHARLES!

    This tune brings back a special memory and played a part in my deciding not to reenlist in the Navy. I was due to be discharged in less than a month and had just returned to the staging area after a week or so of long range recon. Someone had tuned the radio to Armed Forces radio and I heard the DJ say "This is for you Georgia boys" and I then heard Georgia On My Mind for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes and gave me a case of homesickness I couldn't shake.

    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

      ​@@selfishcapitalist3523 as somebody who has lived and traveled through many parts of Georgia my whole life, I can say that Georgia is a purple state for sure. Atlanta and some of the other urban areas are very progressive, but the rural areas are FUCKED. literally less than a month ago I was riding through southern-ish macon and saw a huge confederate flag hung from a ~50 foot flag pole. the building that was flying it was a business that damn near looked abandoned it was in such bad shape, much like any house that waves that flag.
      but Atlanta is a bastion of progress in the swamp that is the deep south, and the sheer amount of people concentrated in the Atlanta area is enough to cancel out the cracker-ass rural areas
