India.Arie released a surprise record; “Georgia On My Mind”, helping ESPN kick off their 2020 Masters Golf Tournament. “Georgia On My Mind”, the official state song of Georgia, was made popular by Ray Charles who covered the 1930 record in 1960.
JANET JACKSON NEW ALBUM “BLACK DIAMOND”
India.Arie joins over 100 artist who’ve officially covered the jazz standard, but as one of only a few Black Women to’ve covered it. Billy Holiday, Ella Fitz Gerald, and Gospel singer Sista Monica Parker are some of the few Black Women who’ve covered “Georgia On My Mind” creating popular versions.
India.Arie, who’s latest album “Worthy” is still making waves on the radio, brings her warm tone to “Georgia On My Mind” with a performative approach.
Simply put, here’s my new favorite version of this classic record.
