LYRICS:
(Ah) 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 a-Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
(A song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in the peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
I said, Georgia, oh, Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(Georgia on my mind, oh)
Other arms a-reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still, in peaceful dreams, I see
The road leads back to you
Oh, oh
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
#RayCharles #GeorgiaOnMyMind #OfficialVideo
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!
This is Beautiful💖.

Ray Charles started 50 feet behind the starting line yet won the race.
Rest In Peace Brother Ray 🙏🏾
Great comment, man :) I love me some Ray Charles. Christmas, country, R & B; love everything he did. God bless him!
Play some good music
Sting
@williamgregory1848. Absolutely on both.
Absolutely ! His piano and soulful voice were extraordinary gifts that can only be from god.
You can hear the passion in his voice. Truly amazing.
i Just love this man. Who else?
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 believe we see each other again. But for a fact the spiritual realm exists.❤️
😪 My Dad's favorite song too
Such a bittersweet story. I am so sorry for your loss
He always with you , U feel him Always keep memories and build more with your family ❤️Love Peace and Joy
♥♥♥
It's March 2024 let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song from 1960 .Rest in peace Mr. Ray Charles.
Me
It’s time to go to Augusta so yeah
😃
Georgia Georgia
A one of, the best voice in the world ! God bless him
Nobody could sing like brother Ray,listen to that soulful man.
ua-cam.com/video/ZbZ4XGKCBf4/v-deo.html FREEDOM!!!!
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.
Ray Charles's voice moves me inside like nothing else ever has, thank you for this treasure!
i know another guy, El DE Barge, Quincy Jones, Barry, Michael, Prince... please !
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!
Music can and should always be universally enjoyed ^.^
We should love blind, still makes me smile in 2024
fais du sport si tu es trop gros ...
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
I'm 55 soon and I managed to lose 40 kilo in the past 3 years, another 20 kilo's and I'm on a 'good BMI' weight....
Me and my brother's were born in Augusta and lived in Doraville. No matter where we go, we will always be from Georgia. Thanks brother Ray
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.
This song reminds me of my Granny. Born 3/18/1921 in Union Point, Ga. This song is as beautiful and graceful as she was.
I love to read the comments and see how a particular song affected people's lives. Precious memories.
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!
Ditto. 🍁
Me too
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 😊
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.
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.
Bellissima ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ che altro dire ❤❤❤❤
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.
"Like moonlight through the pines"
Man that sounds so serene. You can almost see it and feel it
I lived in SC. Moonlight through whispering pines...there's nothing like it
you can't say enough about Ray charles . he was!!!! music . he was unbelievable!
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.
Qué maravilla de cantante!!
I'm not an American, but I can imagine how proud can be people from the state of Georgia, hearing so incredible song. Simply motherless.
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?
I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I just expressed my opinion about the music. Nothing more@@Bza1996
@@Bza1996o000p0oooooooiooik9😅😊
(Motherless) did you mean timeless?
I'm a freak with an anxiety order. But when I need to fall asleep...Ray, Georgia on my Mind. Love the backing vocals.
No such thing as a "freak with an anxiety disorder."
You sir, are a warrior.
Never forget that!
@@jdmarr2259 Thanks JD, that's means a lot. Love you brother or sister.
Having anxiety does not make you a freak, I've suffered with it for most of my life, and I'm strong and thankful. 😊
Listen to some Nat King Cole.
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.
When a Song that Appreciates a Hometown is THIS POPULAR , its IMMORTAL
Georgia couldn't be any further removed from my experience, but Ray brings the water to my eyes.
The great Ray Charles.....simply the best of the best....
Brutta canzone
Just learned that a guy named Carmichael wrote this song about missing his sister Georgia!! Yep, but Ray made it worldwide! RIP Ray💓💓💓
We miss you Ray 🙏🏼
That’s just beautiful…
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.
Je pense que c'est une chanson d d'amour
3:37
From being banned from Georgia
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.
Bumping this classic in 2023 September from 🇳🇬Nigeria
A very wonderful song. May Ray Charles rest in peace. Cheers!
He's in Heaven with Jesus and the Saints!
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!
Cheers from Northern 🍁
Just hope u don’t have to suffer through the Atlanta traffic
@SupremeQtip We did 😆. Not looking forward to it on the way back.
Ive driven across the courtry myself. Blessings from a Trump voter.
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
Vous êtes trop jeune, pour ne pas apprécier !! eh eh
You are in a right place (human)
translate .
I really like the songs as a and a chance to be a really good man ...
I get where you're coming from. I'm an old soul myself. Good music can be found in every decade.
Today, he would have been his 93rd birthday under the sun. What a tremendous voice !
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.
When you have that VOICE and natural absolute PITCH .....I think that obstacles are for others
trying desperately to emulate . !!!!!
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.
Semper fi
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
Played at my grandmas funeral. Such a special song to me. RIP Mary Alice
My aunt's name was Mary Alice. RIP Aunt Sister💕
Rest easy grandma
my grandma’s name was Mary Alice too RIP 🙏🏽
@@kenferguson5581 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
played at my dad's. he was from Alabama - huge Ray Charles fan. I remember him playing Ray on weekends - one of my earliest memories.
僕は日本人で、オーディオ業界で働き始めるまでオーディオなんてEDMしか知らなかった人間だけど
この曲を聴いてからああ、表現力っていうか、伝えたい感情を感じ取れるソウルフルな歌ってこういうことを言うんだなって実感してる
今は離れた身だけど今でも好き
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.
That’s awesome!! Great stuff!!
More like a lifetime of fame. Personally i would carry that compliment to the grave. Good on u friend
Bass guitare or Contrebasse classic ?
Coming from Ray that’s like winning multiple Grammys.
Are you fr that’s amazing could we get to know each other cause I know h got some stories to tell
My grandfather from Georgia died at around the age of 24 in 1942. I never met him, but I would have loved to. He is not forgotten.
Hi laurie, how are you?
Spirit told me to listen to Sir Ray today. Nothing like him, a real god of Soul!
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.
Watching and listening to this almost gives me chills. I guess that's what living 31 years in Georgia does.
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.
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!!!
I'm so excited for the Masters in Georgia every Spring!!!
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
Another great singer is Ray Charles. His music is loved.
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?
The best and forever!! ❤️
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!
This is like the most beautiful I’ve ever heard in my life
I’m not even from Georgia and this makes me love Georgia 💀💀
This was my grandmas favorite song and now when i listen to it, i get teary-eyed. Its such a good song.
Mr Ray Charles is the greatest jazz performer and singer ever. The GENIOUS! ❤😊
The talent of today is nothing compared to this music...the music of MY generation. Ray Charles; no one quite as soulful.
What a voice, what a live, what a career, what a achievement... what a man. I love you, Ray.
Smiles, hi Leonore 👋
Hello leonore ,how are you!!!!?
RIP Ray Charles (September 23, 1930 - June 10, 2004), aged 73
You will be remembered as a legend.
This song reminds me of my dad❤ He loves this song so much.
Grande Ray !
Hello Maria,how are you doing!!!!?
one of the greatest songs ever
"We are good friends and I have to admit that When She walked through the door, I sang Ray Charles Georgia" 😂
Georgia will always have a place in my heart. Love from Chicago, IL!
I'm 71 years old. Generation today will never really appreciate good songs
I was born in 92 brother and a good friend of mine is named Georgia and when I think of her I think of this song. On top of that I think of my family who are all mostly from Georgia but displaced to other places. My family owned and ran Bullard sausage from the 50's to the 70's which was a prominent business in that time. Even though time has passed some of us never forgot no matter how young or clueless we were.
How many young people were raised by their elders to appreciate it? Tired of hearing this from “elders
@@leocriss6354thank you
I'm 16 listening to this, it's a great song
Oh trust me I do I’m 26
Sublime Monsieur Ray Charles ❤
MERCIIi beaucoup...
Prières ferventes d AMOUR 💖
Classical legendary ICON Ray Charles!!! 🙏♥️🌹
Georgia What A BEAUTIFUL STATE 🙂
Nieustannie unosisz moja wrażliwość w prosty do gwiazd - nieba, w którym jesteś nadwornym muzykiem aniołów.
For over 12 years I had this as my alarm clock on an cd alarm clock that was loud and had stellar sound. Never got sick of waking to it and making my coffee etc. Greatest singer to ever live.
My mom and my son just left for Georgia to visit family. It’s raining here in Florida. I am sitting here crying.
essa é uma das minhas preferidas Ray. linda vóz e interpretação.
Georgia showed up and showed out Thank you Y'ALL DID THAT...Sent HERSCHEL back to Texas
I’m from Savannah GA and man I’m living in Seattle listening to this I miss home…. Everyone have a great night
MIraculous...Mellifluous...and most of all....lyrically and melodically perfect! Ray Charles is just incomparable in every way:)
Soo beautiful 😍 and emotional 😢❤
This is a master piece❤🎉😢
Hello how are you doing
Brings back memories of childhood.
@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
BLESS YOU GEORGIA
Thank you Georgia😀
Georgia.. red clay dirt roads.. Rest on Mr. Ray Charles 🕊️🤍
Thank you, Georgia!!🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Ray Charles would be the best of the best forever!!!
If you want to be as good as Ray, you might as well pack up now.
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. 💝
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 👋
Such a wonderful beautiful song.
Quando escuto o Ray, eu me emociono!
Como não se emocionar com essa música tão linda? ❤
I'm visiting Georgia for the first time ever next week. I'm so excited. I've heard great things :).
