Thomas "Georgia Tom" Dorsey wrote "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" in Chicago, in 1932, after his wife died in childbirth, and her baby died shortly afterwards. He can be heard playing the piano on
Deep Moaning Blues by Ma Rainey & the Tub Jug Washboard Band (1928).

I still remember the smell of tubes in my folks RCA hi-fi console record player playing a stack of Tennessee Ernie Ford 45’s. This song and 16 Tons were my favorites.
