The concept is simple. A cartoon Jimmy Carter is the visual of Ray Charles' voice singing "Georgia." It's all there in excruciating detail--the syrupy smile, the tears of sentimentality. It is laugh out loud funny and you just wish it were longer. The song by itself is wonderful just as straight audio. But the fun with using Jimmy Carter as a foil doesn't take anything from that. It's the gut punch of juxtaposition that makes it work so well. It has been years since I first saw the little gem, yet it remains as vivid as if it were yesterday. I would love to own it, just so that I could play it again like a favorite song.
