Game 14
A State Name in the Title
Fall 1960
A video by Ray Charles
The game's question
Listen to the title first—it names a place. Then take the clues one at a time.
Fall 1960. The leaves are turning, the evenings are getting shorter, and a slow, soulful song plays on the radio. Its title carries the name of a state: “Georgia on My Mind.” It reached No. 1 on November 14, 1960. Which name goes with that voice?
- Marvin Gaye
- Ray Charles
- Roy Orbison
Need a hint?
His first name has three letters, like a beam of sunshine. Humming “Georgia on My Mind” slowly may bring the rest.
See the answer
Answer: Ray Charles—“Georgia on My Mind,” No. 1 on November 14, 1960.
Why this game : One slow song can bring a whole season with it: the radio in the evening, the voices at home, the early dark on the walk home.
