Gospel was found throughout black churches in the United States. Ray charles took the subject matter of modern music and put it to gospel like tunes. It quite upset people to have someone singing about sex and love to the tune of their hymns.

Georgia on My Mind Georgia was released in On My 1960 as a song to Mind remember his home state More about “Georgia On My Mind” This song was released by Ray Charles in 1960, although it was originally written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell. Ray loved Georgia and wanted to get more into country music, so he reinterpreted the song. Ironically, he was banned by the music industry there (not by the state) for life from playing in georgia, because he refused to play in a Jim Crow club*. This was revoked in 1979, when the Georgia State Assembly welcomed him and declared ““Georgia On My Mind” the state song. * Jim Crow club refers to the club’s being segregated. This type of thing lasted much longer in Georgia than anywhere else.
