about

A jazz standard written in 1925 by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard, with lyrics by Kenneth Casey. It was first recorded that year by band leader Bernie, leading to five weeks at No. 1 for his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra. One of the most popular recordings was in 1949 by Brother Bones and His Shadows. Later, in 1952, it was adopted as the theme song of The Harlem Globe Trotters basketball team.
An anecdote floated around that back in 1911 just prior to the birth of the daughter of Dr. George Thaddeus Brown, a longtime member of the Georgia House of Representatives, the House declared that the child would be named after the state. The line "Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia Brown", references that story.
