Yolanda Adams - Georgia On My Mind - Live Kennedy Center Honors James Brown

My Dailymotion Channel www.dailymotio... "Georgia on My Mind" is a 1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that year. It has often been associated with Ray Charles, a native of the U.S. state of Georgia, who recorded it for his 1960 album The Genius Hits the Road. In 1979, the State of Georgia designated it the official state song.
Ray Charles, a native of Georgia, recorded a version that went to No. 1 on the Billboard magazine[4] Hot 100. On March 7, 1979, in a symbol of reconciliation in the aftermath of years of activism and national legislation resulting from the Civil Rights Movement, he performed the song before the Georgia General Assembly. After this performance, the Assembly adopted it as the state song on April 24.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named the Ray Charles version of "Georgia on My Mind" the 44th greatest song of all time.
Willie Nelson recorded the song[4] on Stardust, his 1978 album of standards. It was released as single, peaked at No. 1 for a single week, and ranked for sixteen weeks on a country chart.[8] A year later, Nelson won a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his version.
