She had huge hits with the introduction of jazz standards such as "Dinah", "Stormy Weather" and "Am I Blue?", all three of which were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Lyrics
(Original)
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky,
Stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere,
Stormy weather,
Just can't get my poorself together,
I'm weary all the time, the time,
So weary all the time.
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me.
All I do is pray the lord above will let me, walk in the sun once more.
Can't go on, all I have in life is gone,
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad.
Night comes around and I'm still feelin' bad.
Rain pouring down, blindin' every hope I had.
Pitterin', patterin', beatin' and splatterin' drives me mad.
Love, love, love, love.
This misery is just too much for me.
Can't go on, all I have in life is gone,
Stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky,
Stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere,
Stormy weather,
Just can't get my poorself together,
I'm weary all the time, the time,
So weary all the time.
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me.
All I do is pray the lord above will let me, walk in the sun once more.
Can't go on, all I have in life is gone,
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad.
Night comes around and I'm still feelin' bad.
Rain pouring down, blindin' every hope I had.
Pitterin', patterin', beatin' and splatterin' drives me mad.
Love, love, love, love.
This misery is just too much for me.
Can't go on, all I have in life is gone,
Stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Keeps rainin' all the time.

Lyrics
She just got here yesterday,
Things are hot here now they say,
There's a new gal in town.
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt.
All the guys just rave about
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say;
Chorus:
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down.
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met.
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
All you gals will get the blues,
all you pals will surely lose.
And, there's but one excuse.
Now I've told you who she was,
and I've told you what she does,
Still, give this gal her dues.
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
Chorus:
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down.
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats. Oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Who's that mister, tain't her sister, It's Sweet Georgia Brown
Things are hot here now they say,
