29 Black Music Milestones: Ray Charles' 'Georgia' Becomes State Song. While the song Georgia On My Mind had been around for thirty years when Ray Charles -- at the suggestion of his driver -- learned the words and recorded it in 1960, it wasn't until the piano man sang the tune that it became a hit... and the official Georgia state song. On March 7, 1979, Georgia On My Mind became Georgia's state song. To celebrate the moment, Charles was invited to perform it for state legislators, their wives and children at the state capital building in Atlanta.
A seven-minute edited version of Papa Was a Rollin' Stone was released as a single in September 1972. For this mix, congas were added to bolster the song's sparse percussion; this version appeared on the 1973 Anthology triple LP. As soon as they finished, the Temptations responded by singing the Tops' hit,  Baby I Need Your Loving 2  . The rap group Run-D.M.C. re-worked and sampled Papa Was A Rollin' Stone for their song Papa Crazy, off their 1988 album Tougher Than Leather.
