Freshman at Virgina Intermont College when this song came out. In the spring of 1970, we'd be out on the roof of the Student Union, in our Bikini's, glistening with baby oil, trying to get a tan. I specifically recall that this song was on...To think, my biggest heart ache back in those days was not having the boy I loved...HA!!!
Anyway, I've had a lot of good in my life too, so no complaints. Love this song more now than ever.
Remember my dad would begin singing this and of course the rest of the family would join in. Thankfully, Brook Benton never heard us butcher his song. We each had our own interpretation.
Tonight, it's going to be a "Rainy Night In Georgia". What other song would be more appropriate, I ask? NONE!! Ain't nothin' better than a classic from Brook Benton...
My least favorite era in music is circa 1970. I prefer fast songs to slow ones. And rarely do I pay attention to lyrics. But this one has given me chills for 42 years - the instrumental, the voice, and the words. The perfect storm.
I Love this song but most of all the man who sing it because he was my grand Fathers sis son so RIP .CUZ whit LOVE [Richard Hollis sr] New York 1/10/2012
Was just back in the states from the P.I. Station in Wyoming at F. E. Warren. When i first heared this song. Brings alot of things to mind. Went to Viet Nam and some of the guys i knew at F. E. i met again. Hope all is well. Your old Bud.
I love your whole music list. I was searching for some Otis Redding (Was itching to hear "That's how strong my love is") but stayed for the rest. Thanks for putting this together!
Never been to Georgia,but I sure do love this song.

I wonder who recorded this first Brook Benton or David Ruffin?

This song was written by Tony Joe White. The Jazz Crusaders have a great version of this tune.

Beautiful song and makes me think of the blaxploitation movie House On Skull Mountain (1974).

I'm in Georgia, and it is indeed a rainy night as I type this. Just felt like hearing this song for that reason!

This song makes me think of my Dad, he could sing the mess out of this song and he loved this song too. He was from Georgia.
