The video today for Waylon and Willie Wednesday is Georgia On My Mind by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles as seen on The Willie Nelson Special with special guest Ray Charles.
Willie Nelson recorded "Georgia" 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.
A year later, Nelson won a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his version of the song. Willie sang this at Charles' funeral in 2004.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named Ray Charles' version of "Georgia on My Mind" the 44th greatest song of all time. Ray Charles' 1960 recording on The Genius Hits the Road was a major hit, reaching the number one spot for one week in November 1960 on the US Billboard Hot 100. On April 24, 1979, this became the official state song of Georgia.
