Plot



The three-minute film features a clay-animated Jimmy Carter (who was U.S. President at the time) singing 'Georgia on My Mind', referencing his birth state. He is accompanied by a choir of Mr. Peanut lookalikes, and gazes at the moon at night. Ray Charles' rendition of the song is used on the soundtrack.[https://www.bcdb.com/cartoon/38922-Jimmy-The-C BCDB][https://archive.org/details/jimmythec_201702 Internet Archive][https://www.animatormag.com/video/entertaining/jimmy-the-c-james-picker/ Jimmy the C by Jimmy Picker (1976)|Animation Mag - Animation from the Web][https://www.lambiek.net/artists/g/grossman_robert.htm Robert Grossman - Lambiek Comicclopedia]
