Sweet Georgia Brown
"Sweet Georgia Brown" is a jazz standard and pop tune written in 1925 by Ben Bernie & Maceo Pinkard (music) and Kenneth Casey (lyrics).
The tune was first recorded in 1926 by bandleader Ben Bernie, resulting in a five-week No. 1 for Ben Bernie & his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra.[1] As Bernie's then nationally famous orchestra featuring the number 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 to the song.
Today it is known by many as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team.
