If you were sitting around thinking of songs connected to The Mountain State, “Sweet Georgia Brown” probably wouldn't be on your list.It wasn't on ours either, even though we had loved and played the song for decades. But then about a dozen years ago, the late Dave Peyton dropped some song news on us at a jam session. “Hey, man,” we remember him saying with a big grin, “it's a West Virginia tune!”Of course, Brother Dave was absolutely right. Composer Maceo Pinkard, who went on to become one of the greatest composers in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s, was born in Bluefield, W.Va., where he got his education. While Pinkard wrote hundreds of tunes, including many for stage and screen, this 1925 jazz standard was his greatest one. Yes, she might have been a sweet Georgia peach, she had West Virginia roots.Bluefield BoyhoodSon of a West Virginia coal miner, Pinkard was educated at the Bluefield Colored Institute, class of 1913, and wrote his first major song — called “I'm Goin' Back Home” — the following year. (Today Bluefield State University holds a week-long festival each year in honor of its famous alumnus.)Pinkard had already formed his own orchestra and toured throughout the United States as conductor. In 1914 — at age 17 — Pinkard founded a theatrical agency in Omaha, Nebraska. Three years later found him in New York City creating Maceo Pinkard Music to sell compositions to national publishing companies.In the decade beginning in 1921, Pinkard produced a rich catalog, including such hits as “Sugar,” "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya Huh?", “Here Comes the Showboat” and “At Twilight.” Another Pinkard composition from that period — “Them There Eyes” -- was a favorite of the great Billie Holiday, who recorded in 1939 on OKeh. It was one of the legend's signature tunes when she performed at George Wein's Storyville jazz club in Boston in 1952.Meanwhile, Bix Beiderbecke, with sidemen Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman, recorded Pinkard's "I'll Be A Friend with Pleasure" in 1930.Sweet Miss Brown The song that would top Maceo Pinkard's obituary in 1962 was co-written with lyricist Ken Casey. Soon after “Sweet Georgia Brown” was composed, it was introduced by bandleader Ben Bernie. As Bernie's nationally famous orchestra did much to popularize the number, Pinkard cut Bernie in for a share of the tune's royalties by giving him a co-writer credit.While the song today is an iconic jazz standard, it was not an instant hit. Bing Crosby recorded it in April 1932 with the Isham Jones Orchestra, reaching No. 2 in the charts. Four years later, Cab Calloway sang it in the movie The Singing Kid.Other RenditionsIt wasn't until 1949, though, that “Sweet Georgia Brown” reached its peak of popularity when it was recorded by Brother Bones and His Shadows. This novelty version, complete with whistling and bone-cracking, was a huge hit, spending 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. This version is the one you might know best, because it was adopted as the theme song of The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team starting in 1952. Still today they use it for their "Magic Circle" when the players warm up, passing around the ball and displaying their techniques and dexterity.Incidentally, a decade and a half later, The Beatles even had a comic version of the song. Their rendition contains the line In Liverpool she even dared / To criticize the Beatles' hair / With their whole fan club standing there.But Who Is Miss Brown?About Miss Brown's real-life identity, as those who regularly quote the Bible like to say, well, it's a mystery. Ken Casey's original 1925 lyrics make a number of references to African American culture. His rhymes make clear he's talking about a sweet brown-skinned woman from Georgia, possibly a prostitute, some say. The second verse, for instance, begins, Brown-skin gals, you'll get the blues, Brown-skin pals, you'll surely lose.Or was Miss Brown a white lady? In 1911, Dr. George Thaddeus Brown of the Georgia House of Representatives and his wife, Avis, welcomed a baby girl. Shortly after the child's birth, the Georgia General Assembly passed a resolution stating that the baby would be named “Georgia” after the state.Years later, in the lady's obituary, The Miami Herald wrote:According to family legend, it was her father who immortalized her when he met composer Ben Bernie in New York. A medical student at the time, George Brown told the composer about his family, including his youngest daughter with one brown eye and one green eye. Bernie whipped up lyrics to a melody by Kenneth Casey and Maceo Pinkard.Lots of errors here. Besides identifying Bernie as the “composer,” note that it was the 1890s when Dr. Brown attended post-graduate medical school in New York, decades before his daughter Georgia was born. Beyond that, there is a question of propriety. Dr. Brown's offspring would have been — what? — 14 when Pinkard's song was composed. Would you really celebrate your friend's teenage daughter with a song that said, Fellas she can't get / Are fellas that she ain't met? But hey, we didn't know her, so probably we ought to just keep our opinions to ourselves…Our Take on the Tune“Sweet Georgia Brown” has been in The Flood repertoire for a very long time. For instance, as reported earlier, back in 1977, when The Flood hosted a hootenanny one summer night at the Huntington Museum of Art, an instrumental version of the song was on the set list for the performance by Joe Dobbs, Dave Peyton, Stew Schneider and Charlie Bowen. Want to hear it? Click the button below:A quarter of a century after that, the tune was still front and center when it was featured on the band's first studio album in 2001. And, as we noted in an earlier article, “Sweet Georgia Brown” was on the set list for back-to-back shows on a magical weekend in the summer of 2002. Click the button below for a sampler of the tunes we played in those gigs, featuring solos by Joe and Dave, along with Chuck Romine, Doug Chaffin and Sam St. Clair:Today, a couple decades further along, “Sweet Georgia Brown” is still a showcase for all the folks on The Flood bandstand. In this 2024 version, we feature Charlie and Sam, along with Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Jack Nuckols.Swing It S'More?Finally, if that's how you like your Flood to roll, you might want to make Radio Floodango's free Swingin' playlist part of your day today for a randomize set of similar tunes.Click here to give it a spin.

The location of the Harlem Globetrotters is now Harlem, New York. The Harlem Globetrotters are an American exhibition basketball team. They combine athleticism, theater, and comedy in their style of play. Throughout the year, the Harlem Globetrotters have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 124 countries and territories. The team's signature song is Brother Bones' whistled version of "Sweet Georgia Brown". Their mascot anthropomorphized globe named "Globie". The team plays over 450 live events worldwide each year. The team is currently owned by Herschend Family Entertainment. The executive offices for the team are located in the Atlanta suburb named Peachtree Corners, Georgia.- The Globetrotters originated on the south side of Chicago, Illinois in 1926. This was where all of the original players were raised. The Globetrotters started as the Savoy Big Five. In 1928, the basketball team of African-American players played before dances due to declining dance attendance. At the coming to the end of the year 1928 players left the Savoy Big Five team in a dispute. The players that were led by Tommy Brookins, formed a team called the Globe Trotters and toured southern Illinois. Abe Saperstein became the teams manager and promoter. In 1929, Saperstein toured Illinois and Iowa with his basketball team called the New York Harlem Globe Trotters. Saperstein selected Harlem in New York City, as part of their name since Harlem was considered the center of African American culture. But the Globetrotters did not play in Harlem until 1968, four decades after the team's formation.- The Globetrotters were perennial participants in the World Professional Basketball Tournament, winning it in 1940. In 1948, the Globetrotters made headlines when they beat one of the best white basketball teams in the country, the Minneapolis Lakers, which is now called the Los Angeles Lakers. The Globetrotters continued to win games from their Harlem ownership. That made them the best black basketball players in the country. In 1950, Harlem Globetrotter Chuck Cooper became the first black player to be drafted in the NBA by Boston. And his teammate Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton became the first African-American player to sign an NBA contract when the New York Knicks purchased his contract for $12,500. Harlem received $10,000 and Clifton received $2,500.- Reece "Goose" Tatum joined the Harlem Globetrotters in 1941 and directed the team into working comic routines into their act. These acts were incredible coordination and skillful handling of one or more basketballs, such as passing or juggling balls between players, balancing or spinning balls on their fingertips, and making unusually difficult shots.- In 1952, the Globetrotters invited Louis "Red" Klotz to create an adversary team to accompany them on their tours. The Washington Generals became the Globetrotters' primary opponents. The Globetrotters defeated the Generals in thousands of games.- In 1959, the Globetrotters played nine games in Moscow after Saperstein received an invitation from Vasily Grigoryevich, the director of Lenin Central Stadium. The team, which included Wilt Chamberlain, was welcomed enthusiastically by spectators and authorities; they met Premier Nikita Khrushchev and collectively received the Athletic Order of Lenin medal.- One report that confused spectators read: "A Soviet audience of 14,000 sat almost silently, as if in awe, through the first half of the game. It warmed up slightly in the second half when it realized the Trotters are more show than competition". The Globetrotters defeated another opponent the San Francisco Chinese Basketeers. A review in Pravda stated, "This is not basketball; it is too full of tricks" but Pravda praised the Globetrotters skills and suggested that "they have some techniques to show us".- The American press; mainly Drew Pearson, made a note that the Globetrotters were paid $4,000/game while in Moscow. But the money could only be spent only in Moscow. Du
