  • Famous Song-"Precious Lord" Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:40
    Famous Song-"Precious Lord" Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:40 Thomas A. Dorsey In our last issue (3-28-09) this wonderful Story stated that the song’s author was Tommy Dorsey, a band leader in the 30’s and 40’s. Thanks to Holly Lake Ranch resident, Don Teems, we want to give you the rest of the story. It was Thomas A. Dorsey, a black musician, who was the real composer of Precious Lord and hundreds of other gospel hymns. W.C. THE BIRTH OF THE SONG ‘PRECIOUS LORD' ‘Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn, Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light, Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home.' When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near, When my life is almost gone, Hear my cry, hear my call, Hold my hand lest I fall: Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home. When the darkness appears And the night draws near, And the day is past and gone, At the river I stand, Guide my feet, hold my hand: 1 / 3 Famous Song-"Precious Lord" Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:40 Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home.' The Lord gave me these words and melody. He also healed my spirit. I learned that when we are in our deepest grief, when we feel farthest from God, this is when He is closest, and when we are most open to His restoring power.

South Side Story Starring Barack Obama, Emmett Till, Richard Wright, Mahalia Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., Muddy Waters, Harold Washington, Richard J. Daley And a Cast of Thousands By Wil Haygood Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, October 5, 2008; M01 CHICAGO The figures are stilled in lovely black-and-white portraits along the walls of Josephine Wade's soul food restaurant here on the South Side. There's Lou Rawls. And Aretha Franklin. "I do all of Aretha's cooking when she comes to town," Wade says. There's the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., from 1966, sitting next to the Rev. A.R. Leak, Wade's godfather. Both men are in suits and thin ties and grinning broadly. There's Harold Washington, the city's first black mayor, who died in office in 1987 and remains a mythic figure across this city. The Captain's Hard Time eatery, despite its name, is a swanky place, with pink napkins and white table linen. A waitress in soft-soled shoes glides by -- slowly, no need to rush -- carrying a plate of chicken wings, collard greens, candied yams and corn bread. "A good many of the judges elected in Chicago got elected right here in my dining room," says Wade. She's talking about the schmoozing, the dealmaking, the quest for endorsements and votes that draws aspiring pols here come election time. The South Side never had the silky ties to whites and international celebrities like Harlem and its famed literary renaissance.
