The song of the day for Wednesday, December 13, 2017 is “De Glory Road.”

About This Song

“De Glory Road” began as a poem written by a white, socialist, native of Alabama lawyer and writer named Clement Wood, who published the poem in 1928. Wood is also the author of the Clement Wood Rhyming Dictionary, the 1939 edition of which is Stephen Sondheim’s preferred rhyming dictionary. The music was written by Jacques Wolfe.
