Blazing Saddles pops into my head every time I hear this song. Thank you Mel.

He wrote so many great iconic songs it's hard to think of American music without thinking of Stephen Collins Foster!

Player Say what!?, Stephen Foster has a most famous song sung by thousands the first Saturday every May at the Kentucky Derby...My Old Kentucky Home. Makes me cry every year. Go mint juleps!

Vincent Sablan
I had to sing the song to get the answer!!!

Player Say what!?
Rarely hear Steven Foster songs anymore. An important part of our history I hope doesn't disappear forever.

Stephen Fosters sister married James Buchanan's brother, John, and when Foster came up to visit his sister in Pennsylvania, he would play his songs for their guests.

Everytime I heard his songs I just assumed it was related to the South. Never guess he came from Pennsylvania.
