Gorrell, Stuart. "Georgia on My Mind." Composed by Hoagy Carmichael. Performed by Ray Charles. The Genius Hits the Road. ABC Records, 1960.

I went into the neighborhood in that State in which I was raised, where my mother and only sister were buried, and from which I had been absent about fifteen years. That part of the country is, within itself, as unpoetical as any spot of the earth; but still, seeing it and its objects and inhabitants aroused feelings in me which were certainly poetry; though whether my expression of those feelings is poetry is quite another question.
