Tony Joe White - "Rainy Night In Georgia" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@crlguitar1]

What a voice! Incredible talent. There was a LOT more to this man than 'Poke Salad Annie'......

[@graemeyetts3465]

Great writer, terrible singer.

[@paanne1013]

@@graemeyetts3465 - You are so wrong, his voice is amazing...so much soul.

[@drohegda]

In my humble opinionone of the Most Beautiful Songs Every Written, Thanks for the Video. 🎸🎸👍

[@kalk1966]

I'm a late bloomer catching on to Tony....after 75 years , he's one of the best ...hope he comes back.

[@haldanisbister4179]

Sorry, but he's dead. Don't worry, he didn't stop being him until the end. I've just found him too, so glad I'll be able to delve through so much richly authentic music

[@toniwilliams2708]

I'm 76yrs. young and I not only learned who wrote this beautiful song, but actual the story behind it as told by Tony Joe White himself. He has a beautiful soulful voice ❤❤❤❤❤

I have loved his music since I was a kid. He ain’t coming back though, he’s dead.

[@alfrednawrocki8061]

​@@wassabillyOne of my all time favorite tunes!! Brooke Benton and , of course TJ, both did ir justice !!!

[@steveavant9727]

The blues is written from the heart. This blues song comes from the heart of a man missing his woman, blues from a lonely heart. TJ White wrote the song, Brooke Benton made it famous, TJ put his heart and soul into the performance. I still get chills when I listen to it. Thank you, TJ White.

Doesn’t get any better than this! Thank you Tony Joe, you will not be forgotten.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

RIP You were fantastic, an authentic blues man.

[@joeyricci7168]

Gotta love the way Tony Joe plays that old Fender Stratocaster like it was a natural part of him.... He made it look so easy.... Even while playin’ that ole harp, too!

[@lyndamcardle4123]

..indeed and he's singing the song in between as well !

[@wendellstafford8447]

It is a rainy night in Georgia, even Heaven is crying over the loss of Tony Joe.

[@bretkindell6887]

You ain't lying Wendell, a legend indeed. Loved the dude down here in texas

[@katiaengel1]

true soo sad !

[@joeyricci7168]

This song was originally recorded and released by him in 1969. It was laid out differently, but it was non-the less great! This 1980 live version is nothing short of perfection.

[@ACOUSTIC_4LOVE]

Soulful Voice , Tasty Guitar and Harmonica. Tony Blessed us with wonderful songwriting and He truly did his own thing. Never Flashy,just down to Earth southern Soul Blues 🇺🇸 RIP TJW

[@bjble]

R.I.P. Tony...thanks for the music

[@earnestprole9461]

As masterful as the greatest artists.

[@bloozedaddy9965]

I love the mellow relaxing vibe of this performance.

[@kt9166]

I first heard this song, like most of us, by Brook Benton, then I backtracked to find out who wrote this masterpiece. Lord, what a songwriter, what a singer. I miss you so much, my friend. I feel like it's raining all over the world.

[@coldroses5337]

Same Agreed Cheers 🍷

[@wjniemi]

The harmonica is upside down, I've never seen that done before. What a talent. Love this version.

[@paanne1013]

It is his version, he wrote the song.

[@wjniemi]

@@paanne1013 yeah, I know. My band covered the Brook Benton version back in the day.

[@jadezee6316]

VERY FORTUNATE THAT Brook Benton...decided to make this song immortal..

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

Tony was a masterpiece. I know of no one like this today.

[@robertstultz2260]

One of the best songs ever written while setting in a dump truck!!! Tony Joe we miss your swamp music buddy!!! Rest in peace !!!

[@WhocaresWhy44]

Tony was great. One of my relatives had a conversation with Brooke Benton at the NCO club in London.

[@drjwbriand]

no matter how many times you hear this song, it speaks to ya each time, so sad he's gone-

[@murrygandy]

What a great talent. He slipped away too early. He deserved more recognition before he left.

[@straydawgofficial6888]

Most beautiful. Thank you Tony Joe!

[@genestepp5066]

WE LOST A GREAT ONE, I SEEN HIM ON ONCE BACK IN THE 70'S AT A PACKAGE SHOW IN K.C.K. WOW, WHAT A SHOW, R.I.P. TONY!!!!!

[@landebadalge2641]

What a great cool voice.!

[@RaiderLeo1]

I saw him perform this live at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide South Australia in 2017. Third time I had seen him perform there. His voice and style; he could have performed forever. Widely played on Adelaide radio in the 70s. RIP

[@risingwolf]

A classic song that will never die. RIP TJ

[@brileyblackburn3253]

As a kid I always heard Polk salad Annie on the radio and loved the song. I ordered the greatest hits package from a local music store. I was stunned when I saw he wasn't black

Tony Joe White - his own version of Rainy Night in Georgia - Excellent Version too!

[@joeyricci7168]

Tony Trotta - It’s the best version I have ever heard him play live, with a real vintage Fender Stratocaster! His guitar 🎸 playing was unique, as his singing 🎤. He was and is a true legend.

The late Tony Joe White would have been 76 today-i got his first album,1969's Black and White when it came out-his biggest hit,Polk Salad Annie, was on it-it went to #8 on Billboard.He wrote it and this one also.Haven't listened to him in years-i just learned that he died last year.When he sings those low notes,i get goosebumps.I'd forgotten how great he was.R.I.P.,Tony.

[@mindandhand9499]

I realize he wrote this fabulous song but the way Brook Benton sang it took it to another level. Just like Glen Campbell did the same with Gentle On My Mind. Respect to the songwriters but certain people are just born to sing certain songs.
