Georgia On My Mind

This song is as deep down American as the artists who have covered it over the years. Being performed by greats like Louis Armstrong and James Brown and Dean Martin and even Willie Nelson, it has been a staple in the history of Amercian music since 1930 and is still being performed today. What I appreciate the most about the song is how easily artists can mold the song to fit their sound, genre and idea of what it means to them. But it will always have those classic lines:

"Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind... "
