Composer: Earl E. McCord

Earl E. McCord was born May 27, 1892, at Palatka, Arkansas. He attended two music normals held in Palatka by Will Slater and S. J. Oslin, and later attended a normal at the Vaughn School of music in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Both Earl and his brother Calvin E. McCord became well known as song leaders among the Churches of Christ in Arkansas. Earl estimated that he had led the singing for more than one hundred gospel meetings, and had taught at least that many singing schools in multiple states. He died in Corning, Arkansas in 1985.
