Ray
Charles Robinson (commonly known as Ray Charles; 1930 – 2004) was
an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer who is
sometimes referred to as "The Genius.”
Ray
Charles, a native of Georgia state of USA, recorded the song"Georgia
on My Mind" in 1960. The song became a major hit, reaching the
number one spot for one week in November 1960 on the U.S. Billboard
Hot 100. Ray Charles performed it before the Georgia General Assembly
(the state legislature) on March 7, 1979, in a mutual symbol of
reconciliation after conflict over civil rights issues. After this
performance, the connection to the state was firmly made, and the
Assembly adopted it as the state song on April 24.
