(9:18pm) Nice version of "Georgia On My Mind" sung by Gladys Knight. There may be a misconception that Ray Charles sung this song at this Ceremony. Maybe he did sing at this or some other Olympic Ceremony. Can anyone explain this? Hosted by Dick Enberg & Bob Costas in Atlanta, Georgia, USA July 19th, 1996.

  • I love to hear the explanation for the solitary dislike! WTF??

  • WOW!! what else is there to say?

  • this is truly amazing

  • This is a beautiful rendition song by Gladys Knight. I remember seeing this live on Tv. I just love this version so much!

  • Look at the expression she has just in her left hand @ 2:55 - What a singer!

    There are very few if any who can do what she does - that good.

  • LOVE HER SHE'S SO CLASSY

  • The reason Ray Charles did not sing it at the Opening Ceremony is because Ray had done it for a Pepsi commercial as well. The Olympics are Coke territory; so no way was a Pepsi spokesperson going to crash a Coke party!!

  • How could they not? They conducted about 2 years' research on what should go into the Ceremony.

  • So elegant

  • cool music
