Sweet Georgia Brown

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia brown
Two left feet but oh so neat, has sweet Georgia brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet Georgia brown
I'll tell you why, you know I don't lie, much

Its been said she knocks em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she coos em down
Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia brown
