Moreover, the AFC's cylinder recording of H. Wylie shows that we have no need of such a story.

Breen originally did not want to record the song, as she thought it was "kitschy, like a campfire song [or] 'Kumbaya' or something." [ 1 ] Since Heather Payne departed from the group in 2008, they have performed the song "Keep the Candle Burning" as a medley with "The Great Divide," and "You Are the Answer" as a medley with "I'll Be Believing."
A man works a cornfield on St. Helena Island, where "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" was first attested. "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" (also called "Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore", "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore", or "Michael, Row That Gospel Boat") is a traditional spiritual first noted during the American Civil War at St. Helena Island, one of the Sea Islands of South Carolina.
