We All Have a Song
Accompanied by neighborhood children in her home town of Chicago, Illinois, Ginni Clemmens (1936–2003) sings traditional, cover, and original songs including “We All Have a Song,” “the first song [she] ever wrote.” Clemmens covers George Harrison’s “Blackbird” and two songs (“Sneaky Snake” and “I Care”) written by Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Tom T.
