VIDEO: BD Wong on His Involvement in the 'Georgia On My Mind' Rendition in Honor of the Georgia Senate Runoff Elections
The single is released by Broadway Records, and is available wherever digital music is sold and on BroadwayRecords.com.
Broadway's BD Wong recently appeared on MSNBC Live: Weekends, to talk about his appearance in the recently-released rendition of 'Georgia On My Mind' to mark the first day of voting for the January 5th Georgia Senate runoff elections.
"Four years ago we sang a song called 'What The World Needs Now Is Love' and sang it at the Democratic National Convention," Wong said. "That same group kind of developed a mechanism for reaching out to Broadway stars and performers and putting together this video."
"All attention is on this little run-off election, and I think my excitement to be involved in any way came about through the whole election process, where I was more involved than I usually am," he said.
