"Georgia on My Mind" is a song written in 1930 by Stuart Gorrell (lyrics) and Hoagy Carmichael (music). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael [1]. However, the lyrics of the song are written ambiguously enough as to refer to the state or to a woman named "Georgia." Carmichael's 1965 autobiography, Sometimes I Wonder, records the origin: a friend suggested: "Why don't you write a song called 'Georgia?' Nobody lost much writing about the South."
The song is best known as sung by Ray Charles, who first recorded the song in 1960. It became Georgia's state song in 1979.
At the beginning of World War II, the song was used for a short time by Lord Haw-Haw on the English-language German radio; it is possible that it was a recording of musician and singer Jack Teagarden.
The song has been covered by many artists, significant among them: Ella Fitzgerald, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Fats Waller, Andrzej Zaucha, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Nat Gonella and his Georgians, The Band, Django Reinhardt, Priya Mahendra, Mina, Wes Montgomery,Offenbach, Jerry Lee Lewis, Willie Nelson, The Righteous Brothers, Michael Bolton, Widespread Panic, David Bromberg, Kurt Hartel, Van Morrison, and the British groups Coldplay and the Spencer Davis Group (with Steve Winwood on vocals) among others.
A popular version is by Australian pub rock band "Cold Chisel" with Ian Moss on vocals. This version can be found on the Barking Spiders Live: 1983 album.
The song was also sampled in 2005 by Field Mob, Ludacris, and Jamie Foxx.
Georgia is the signature song of the Spirit Drum and Bugle Corps.
It was not until Ray Charles' 1960 recording on The Genius Hits the Road that the song became a major hit. On March 7, 1979, in a mutual symbol of reconciliation after conflict over civil rights issues he performed it before the Georgia General Assembly. After this performance, the connection to the state was firmly made, and the Georgia General Assembly officially adopted it one month later as the state song on April 24, 1979. This version of the song is played with a video montage each time that Georgia Public Television goes off the air (now generally only late on Sunday nights, instead of nightly).
The song was used as the theme song to the CBS sitcom Designing Women, initially as an instrumental (performed by Doc Severinsen), and later in a recording by Ray Charles. Charles' version was also sampled for rap group Field Mob's 2005 single, "Georgia", featuring Jamie Foxx and Ludacris.
Sometime after 2000, Charles invited Italian singer Giorgia to sing the song with him after learning that she was named in honor of the song.
In 2003, Rolling Stone named "Georgia on My Mind" the 44th greatest song of all time.
The title of the song was used as the state of Georgia's license plate slogan exclusively from January 1997 through November 2003, with some of these plates remaining valid through at least December 2009.
The song is referenced in The Beatles' "Back in the USSR", with the line "Georgia's always on my mind" referring to Soviet Georgia.
The song is strongly featured in the Stone Mountain Laser Show that runs each summer outside Atlanta.
The song was one of the songs of the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
Lil Wayne samples parts of the song in "Georgia Bush".
In the television show Quantum Leap, the Ray Charles version of the song is used in several episodes, as it was the song which played at the wedding of supporting character Al Calavicci. The license was limited, and when the series was eventually released on DVD in the USA, producers decided they could not afford to renew the rights, and the song was replaced with generic instrumental music. As the song was used in several extremely emotional scenes, fans were upset at this decision.

Peter Cupples http://www.pertercupples.com performed this track to a small group of friends in Brisbane Australia in October 2007. Peter opened for Frank Sinatra when in 1988 Sanctuary Cove Resort Opened, the first gated tourism and residential precinct in Australia. Frank Sinatra, Peter Allen, and Whitney Houston sang at the complex's lavish opening in 1988, an event that placed it squarely on the map.
One of Australia's leading singer songwriters Peter Cupples was the lead singer of the 70's hit band Stylus.
Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. When introduced by Felicia Sanders on the cabaret circuit, it was originally titled "In Other Words". The song became popularly called "Fly Me to the Moon" from its first line, but it took a few years for the publishers to change the title officially.
It was first recorded in 1954 by Kaye Ballard (of the television show The Mothers-in-Law). Ballard's 1954 version was released by Decca Records as catalog number 29114. In 1956 it was recorded by Portia Nelson for her album, Let Me Love You. The same year, Johnny Mathis recorded the song, the first time the title "Fly Me to the Moon" appeared on a record label.
Felicia Sanders, the original singer of the song (best known for her vocal on the Percy Faith Orchestra's "Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)"), finally got around to recording the song in 1959. It was released on Decca Records as catalog number 30937.
In 1962, an instrumental version was recorded as "Fly Me to the Moon -- Bossa Nova" by Joe Harnell, which became the biggest chart hit version of the song, reaching #14 on the U.S. pop singles charts.
Frank Sinatra recorded the song in 1964 on his It Might as Well Be Swing collaboration with Count Basie, and this became the rendition that many people identified the song with.
Tony Bennett recorded the song in 1965 and had a minor hit with it. In subsequent years through the 2000s, he often performed the song in concert without using any amplification or sound system.
It has also been performed by Paul Anka, Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Bobby Darin, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Groove Armada, Joni James, Jack Jones, Julie London, Bobby Womack, Al Hirt, Diana Krall, Mabel Mercer (1960), Wes Montgomery, Anita O'Day, KT Sullivan (1997), Sarah Vaughn, Tom Jones, the Irish boyband Westlife, Nancy Wilson (1959), Matt Dusk, Agnetha Fältskog, Paul Gilbert, Claire Littley (the original ending theme of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion), Utada Hikaru, Astrud Gilberto, hellogoodbye, Ray Quinn, Dinah Washington, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Haden, Michael Bolton, Paula Toller and many others.
In film, "Fly Me to the Moon" was used as the theme song of Oliver Stone's Wall Street (1987), under the last frames of Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys (2000) (in Sinatra's version), and was performed by Jay Mohr in Eddie Murphy's The Adventures of Pluto Nash. It is also the main song of the 1991 film "Once Around", starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter and Danny Aiello, who also performs a rendition during the wedding scene.
Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame) recorded his version in 1997 on the album Live Concert.
The song is also the ending theme of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, in several remixed versions and performed by multiple people, most notably the famous Japanese seiyū Megumi Hayashibara and Yuko Miyamura (all in English). The song has been remixed again and sung by Utada Hikaru for the trailer of the first movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series of films, You Are (Not) Alone.
In episode 369 of the The Simpsons, "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story", "Fly Me to the Moon" is played during Moe and Edna's love montage, and Moe later refers to it as their song.
On American Idol season 6, Top 20 contestant, Nick Pedro sang a rendition of "Fly Me To The Moon" at his audition in New York.
In the series finale of 3rd Rock From the Sun, Elvis Costello sang "Fly Me to the Moon" at a farewell party the aliens threw for themselves.
Versions of song by Frank Sinatra and Felicia Sanders were played simultaneously in Down With Love as Barbara (Renée Zellweger) and Zip (Ewan McGregor) got ready for their date with each other.
