Hoagy Carmichael wrote Georgia on My Mind in 1930. He originally said it was written about his sister, Georgia - but later it was widely known and accepted to be about the state of Georgia. The iconic recording by Ray Charles in 1960 would become the most well-known version of the song and in 1979 it was designated as the State Song of Georgia. The soulful tune, the easy blues-y rhythm, the nostalgic lyrics and the comfortable down-home feeling all make the song a cherished jewel that holds a special sentiment for many.
