abstract
| - %22The Devil Went Down to Georgia%22 is a song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979 album Million Mile Reflections.The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower, in a tune called %22Lonesome Fiddle Blues%22. The Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e., recitation), and tell the story of a boy named Johnny, in a variant on the classic deal with the Devil. The performances of Satan and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges. The song was the band's biggest hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It is featured in the 1980 movie Urban Cowboy, whose choreographer, Patsy Swayze, claims that she set the song's tempo. %22How fast can you dance it?%22 Daniels asked. %22How fast can you play it?%22 Swayze replied.
