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.
Elvis Presley recorded his version of Always on My Mind on March 29, 1972, a few weeks after his February separation from wife Priscilla.The song received immense fame and critical appreciation and is considered one of the standout songs of the '70s for Elvis.hile Brenda Lee's version had stalled at #45 on the country charts in 1972, other performers would reach the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley in 1972; John Wesley Ryles in 1979; Willie Nelson 's Grammy Award winning version in 1982; Pet Shop Boys in 1987.
