Friday Music

This harmony-rich tune written by songwriter James B. Coats has been covered by a collection of artists too long to list.  The song is about a mother’s visit to her imprisoned son. 

She did not bring to him parole or pardon/She brought no silver, no pomp nor style/It was a halo sent down from heaven, the sweetest gift, a mother’s smile. 

It earned Coats an entry in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. 

Real American music sung by three heavenly angels…
