cxl. CARMICHAEL, Hoagy (1899-1981) and CHARLES, Ray (1930-2004)
Georgia On My Mind (1930)
1. CARMICHAEL, Hoagy, vocals
Chauncey Morehouse, drums
Bud Freeman, tenor saxophone
Jimmy Dorsey, alto saxophone
Jack Teagarden, trombone
Joe Venuti, violin
Eddie Lang, guitar
Bix Beiderbecke, cornet

2. CHARLES, Ray, vocals, piano
Edgar Willis, bass

Of course, though the still from To Have And Have Not (1944) has nothing to do with the song, it's still nice to see Hoagy and Ms. Bacall.
Charles -- smart string arrangement, and unobtrusive background vocals -- sings with all the soul he is known for ... what a tune! Written over 90 years ago ...
The chromatic descending bass line in bars 13-14 (D/C#/C/B) is a beautiful touch.
