Arkansongs - When The Saints Go Marching In

When the Saints Go Marching In

“When the Saints Go Marching In” is one of those ubiquitous songs that cross over from mass popularity into becoming part of the fabric of American culture. People all over the world know the song, but few know of the Faulkner County-born “Saints” lyricist Luther G. Presley and his connections to Little Rock and White County. Performed by everyone from James Brown to Judy Garland to Dolly Parton to Homer Simpson, it’s “When the Saints Go Marching In” on this week’s “Arkansongs.”
