He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.
People STOP comparing! Usher wasn't trying to be better than Ray Charles.. he did an awesome tribute! He deserves mad props for choosing to sing this iconic song in front of the FIRST black president!!
I like this song so much. Usher did a excellent rendition. Wow I think he is a first class artist. To sing this song is challenging. Ray Charles a wonderful artist . Usher should be proud as he accomplished it with such confidence. Thank you so very much
I'm so proud of Usher......he is so talented and heartfelt in everything he does. I just wish it were a little louder. But thanks. I adore GA myself and its people
its just nice to hear pop singers sing these kind of classic songs where in they could prove that they could sing anykind o songs,,, hands down to this cover of usher!! you just brought me to 70s man.....
He came a long way bc at first when he came out he really couldn’t. That’s the difference betw someone that makes music and an artist - constantly improving their craft
However, Jaime was paid to be Ray I am still amazes at that performace. The new generation is Putting the "Spin " on older music...USHER is his own star .....
Yeah, who would have thought, especially sweet this morning in the USofA 😇 Here’s to you all at the dawning of a new era and new beginnings from a half a world away in New Zealand ♥️
God bless Ray, he had such amazing talent he won’t be forgotten!!! As well as Usher God bless him too and everyone in that room, you know what actually God bless the world!!!
Many artists tend to try to over sing the hits of great artists. Sometimes it wise to back off and sing a tribute to the great artist. You can't out sing them, so give honor and respect by a good rendition. Usher did that. I have listened to this multiple times because he sang it "sweet"!
Do you know why I like to over sing songs? Because I know how to sang! Sing and I did it in front of you august 28, 2023! Now pay the lady for the hair bitch! I did mine myself!
It’s always on my mind. I truly miss Columbia County Georgia. Lived there 2005-2019. But I hope to stay down there during the winter post covid. What a great best kept secret part of the country!
Hi edagdwg thanks You tube for sharing this story of what happens when you enjoy this man singing god bless him Linda j peace only God can make you feel were you come from the bless Ray Charles linda j. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
Beautiful version! He doesn't oversing it, and the band and backup singers are amazing.
Really, make me vomit . Could you kiss it any better.
It's called rehearsal 😂

No its not, its trash
These old songs get sweeter as they years go by.
How exquisitely Usher sings this. So wonderful to hear such depth beyond his amazing R&B and pop work. Gx
he reminds me of myself not lol brilliant
Usher has so much talent. Handsome, charismatic and steadily improving as an artist. He should be so much bigger than he is rn
I can’t be mad at any version of this BEAUTIFUL song.
Georgia is on all of our minds tonight
On my soul✊🏿 Democrats on the 🗺
Same here Georgia and Philadelphia
Ahhahahahahha ong
yeah yeah yeah under 1800 votes now
It's there! Thank you Georgia!
It was a very sad time for me and for millions of Ray Charles fans . Usher did a great rendition of "Geogia On My Mind."
No matter what anybody says, I think Usher did fantastic on this. The musicians also did AMAZING. Chills.
Beautyful couple @#!
Usher, you have been, you are, and always will be the Man! respect you, my brother!!!!! keep blessing the world with your gifts!
One of my favorite song of the era awesome .
yes indeed...
listening to this with hope the result will flip and turn blue anytime now..
Did it!!
Screw that
@@russellsewell4574 sore loser
@@garrett7101 that’s what u Democrats have been for the past 4 years
Howd turning blue work for you ?
Dang soo dope! Why cant musicians and vocalist play music like this today!!
It's because we've lost it, today's music has no melody or meaning,.. just sayin.
The musical arrangement on this is just perfect! There is everything.
This guy is a great singer. A tasteful, understated tribute to a master.
Two things:
1. How does this man not age?
2. Can we give some props to the orchestra? Because they killed that.
He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.
THEY SURE DID ESPECIALLY THE BASSIST!
Ballwiz 23 it’s a jazz band/ Big band. An orchestra contains largely strings and varieties from almost every musical family
Sang beautifully
Black don't crack
Yes, he put his own twist to the song, which shows his awesome talent and versatility, a true Artist! Hats off to you Usher !! 👏 🙌 👌
That piano fill at 2:08 was classy as fuck
Ohh...so good...so good...yes.
BRAZIL!!!
Jimmy B hell yeah man
this whole performance was classy as fuck
and your comment is not
Jimmy B Absolutely!!
Great Job Usher!!! He did Ray Charles justice on this cover. This song makes me wanna visit the State Of Georgia one day.
One of my favorite songs of all time, Ray's. But Usher did it justice, he did it GREAT.
People STOP comparing! Usher wasn't trying to be better than Ray Charles.. he did an awesome tribute! He deserves mad props for choosing to sing this iconic song in front of the FIRST black president!!
who said we were comparing
C&C 2014 props are things in movies.. mad is insanity
He's just not very good.
Y’all are seriously judgemental. None of you could do what Usher did....
I agree with you, what a good answer
He sang that song well and the band played well! Great job! Enjoyed listening; it ministered to my soul!
Oh my god, I just watched this, tears pouring down my cheeks, so damned good.
Wow usher this version takes my breath away. So soulful
a fireplace, a glass of merlot & this! Heaven.

Georgia Lee Beauty hola. como. estas

Maria Fernanda Jurado uuuu
This is possibly the greatest thing I'll ever see/hear in my lifetime as far as music goes.
Usher can really sing anything...Such a pure voice💖
A real true voice melts you gives me the shivers so does Ray too tho
Amazing. Performance by Usher!!💯👑
I like this song so much. Usher did a excellent rendition. Wow I think he is a first class artist. To sing this song is challenging. Ray Charles a wonderful artist . Usher should be proud as he accomplished it with such confidence. Thank you so very much
Thats one of my favourites songs! I love it! 😍😍
I'm so proud of Usher......he is so talented and heartfelt in everything he does. I just wish it were a little louder. But thanks. I adore GA myself and its people
its just nice to hear pop singers sing these kind of classic songs where in they could prove that they could sing anykind o songs,,, hands down to this cover of usher!! you just brought me to 70s man.....
So beautiful,,,Made me cry. Sang with so much passion. I pra;y that this is not the last time we will hear Usher sing this great old standard,
I love Usher and this is absolutely beautiful!
what an honor, for usher aswell as for the listeners. nostalgia hittin hard
I confess right here I'd never had thought I'd see him singing this song and so good!
Music is something soo great, can´t believe, how much connecting i feel listen to all this lovely sounds.
Let's appreciate the background singers for a bit😭💗 love usher, my booo
Munchie & Shelea!! They sing BG for Stevie Wonder too. They are amazing
Excellent Usher. I could listen to you sing this kind of music all day. I hear you Shelea in the background. It's nice to hear Usher really just sing.
it's addictive listening to these song, Unfortunately, artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music. Is this your favorite song?
Usher can sing🎼💕🎶
Usher did the damn thing! That boy can Sang!
He came a long way bc at first when he came out he really couldn’t.
That’s the difference betw someone that makes music and an artist - constantly improving their craft
Beautiful rendition!! Ray Charles would be proud of Usher.
I really don't know of any Usher songs, but wow can he sing! I love this song from many years ago, and this guy did a great job!
Obviously Jammie Foxx was born to RESING this Song,
but come on people... Usher did well
However, Jaime was paid to be Ray I am still amazes at that performace. The new generation is Putting the "Spin " on older music...USHER is his own star .....
Yaaassssss
😂😂😂 emphasis on resing
If you can sing it will be great either way, Jaime can't be everywhere to sing this song 😂
Jamie foxx didnt sing this in the movie
I started singing like 10 years ago cause usher's singing I knew I had it in me to! But, he still got it 1 time for USHER
ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST SONGS
JANETADEU DA SILVA Silva
What is that song about? Georgia as country next to the black sea or as a state ?
MiShO mIsHo Georgia, as in the southern United States.
Yeah, who would have thought, especially sweet this morning in the USofA 😇 Here’s to you all at the dawning of a new era and new beginnings from a half a world away in New Zealand ♥️
As an Atlanta native and resident, this songs means so much.
I grew up in ATL, GA. And that song literally makes me weep every time. Not much to love about the state, but that song brings back memories.
The essence of cool right there, every one of them, beautiful.
Georgia is definitely on my mind tonight.
Sang Ursher! Now who in the world would give this melody a thumbs down? He did an absolutely beautiful job.
Good rendition of the song
So cool.compose and classical
Well done usher and the orchestra band.
Music sweet nuh cook food.
I always enjoyed Usher singing better when singing from the heart ❤️ so clear & soulfully!
Georgia on my mind in the Collector: a "timeless". Love Ray (RIP) and love Usher
That voice is always on point!
He always look classy, ageless, elegant, sing effortless... King of Rb 2020... Keep singing usher....Legend forever..
Beautiful! Who knew Usher had this extraordinary range.
Thank you for sharing.

God bless Ray, he had such amazing talent he won’t be forgotten!!! As well as Usher God bless him too and everyone in that room, you know what actually God bless the world!!!

I'm here, day of the run-offs, and saying my prayers with this in background. Please oh please Georgia you sweet peach you...lets go blue
Blue all the way!!! Victory Hallelujah Jesus!!!!!
What do you expect from that?
... and, we're privileged by Providence, the good people of Georgia prevailed. Democracy Continues!
Old song never dies and the newbies are replicating them excellently,helloooo
Nice performance 👍 I remember back in the mid 90’s when young Usher was singing with Brandy ... time flies
His sober interpretation give it more force and class Usher is fantasitic in blues and R&B...and so elegant!
