The Rev.
Andrew W.
Jenkins (November 26, 1885 – April 25, 1957) was a leading composer of American country, folk and gospel songs.
He is credited with more than 800 compositions, about a third of which were nonsacred.
He and his stepchildren performed as the Jenkins Family, a group considered to be the first family act to record country music, while Jenkins himself was among the most important country composers of the 1920s.
