I loved it when he sang Georgia on my mind.

Some years ago, the Georgia General Assembly decided to drop the , by then, too quaint song, "Sweet Georgia Brown".

They selected "Georgia On My Mind" as sung by Ray Charles.

Not Willie Nelson, not Britney Spears, not by just anybody.

Ray Charles and nobody else.
Quite possibly the greatest "phrasist" of all time...even surpassing Sinatra.

Georgia on my mind - one of my favorites.

R.I.P.
