Andrew W. Jenkins (born November 26, 1885, Jenkinsburg, Georgia - died April 25, 1957, Thomaston, Georgia[1]) 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.[2] 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.[3][4]
