Peace in the Valley
1939 song by Thomas A. Dorsey
"There'll Be Peace in the Valley for Me" is a 1939 song written by Thomas A. Dorsey, originally for Mahalia Jackson.[1][3] It was copyrighted by Dorsey under this title on January 25, 1939, though it often appears informally as "Peace in the Valley".[1] [2]
The song was a hit in 1951 for Red Foley and the Sunshine Boys, reaching number seven on the Country & Western Best Seller chart.[4] It was among the first gospel recordings to sell one million copies. Foley's version was a 2006 entry into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.[5]
