Red Foley - Peace In The Valley free for downloading

Superb sound quality. Thanks for the upload.

found out the name of the guitar player the late Grady Martin

This song would be the last song Red Foley would ever sing in his life live. He died in his sleep just hours after the performance.

The producer and director of Decca in Nashville, Paul Cohen hated this song. He didn't want Red Foley to record it, he walked out, and Owen Bradley the then engineer finished the session, and took over Paul Cohen's role as head of Decca's Nashville operations. And the best selling Decca artist then, and this classic sold 1,000,000 copies on 78 and 45 RPM, the first gospel record to ever do this.

This the first gospel song recording to sell a million records.   Words and music by Thomas Dorsey.

who played that pretty opening guitar part. written by the same man who wrote Take My Hand Precious Lord

Every afternoon The Red Foley Show would come on the radio and this was the theme song...I remember it even though I listened to it nearly 75 years ago. Oh me.

listening to this song makes my heart melt. praise God!

Such beauty and majesty. The spiritual everyone we've ever loved who we've lost heard in their ascension to the heavens.

As a small boy, afternoons on the radio, this was the theme song of a country music program. Maybe Bill Mack out of Wichita Falls, Txs. Wonderful time in my life.
