Georgia On My Mind

Georgia on My Mind was written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). Though often associated with Ray Charles, especially for his iconic 1960 recording, the song was originally written about Hoagy Carmichaels sister, Georgia. However, over time, it has come to be a symbol for the state of Georgia, USA, and was designated as the state song in 1979.
