						<p>Georgia sure is on everyone&#8217;s mind — John Legend included.</p>
<p>The 41-year-old musician shared an emotional a cappella cover of the old Hoagy Carmichael song, &#8220;Georgia on My Mind,&#8221; made famous by Ray Charles, just as <strong>Joe Biden appeared to pull ahead</strong> in the crucial state early Friday morning.</p>
<p>The soulful cover had 3.2 million views as of Friday morning, with Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/MimsWriter/status/1324648807146115073?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">commenters thanking the singer</a> for putting a tune to the pivotal moment.</p>
<p>As votes continued to be counted, Biden gained a lead over President Trump by just 917 votes Friday morning, along with more ground in <strong>other key states such as Nevada and Pennsylvania</strong>.</p>
<p>Poll workers continue to count legitimate mail-in ballots, <strong>which were expected to lean in Biden&#8217;s favor</strong> prior to Election Day, as neither candidate has officially reached the necessary 270 Electoral College votes needed.</p>
<p>Legend has been on the campaign trail along with his wife, model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen, 34, <strong>despite their recent pregnancy loss</strong>.</p>
<p>Ray Charles&#8217; version of the tune is Georgia&#8217;s official state song. In recent days, it has become an unofficial anthem for nervous election-watchers, since the outcome of the state&#8217;s votes will help determine the winner of the election. Other social-media users shared the song, lyrics and <a href="https://twitter.com/EdwardChampion/status/1324700903253909506?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">their own versions</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love you, Georgia,&#8221; Legend cooed after the song.</p>
<p>Teigen later <a href="https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/1324646448038768642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1324646448038768642%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&amp;amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Farticle%2Fjohn-legend-georgia-on-my-mind-election%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shared that her husband</a> had been waiting hours to share the cover with his followers.</p>
