The historical marker of R.E. Winsett, gospel music producer and hymnodist, is part of the Tennessee Music Pathways.
Winsett composed many sacred songs, including his most well-known, Jesus Is Coming Soon, which was recorded by several artists, including the Oak Ridge Boys. Born in 1876, Winsett began writing hymns when he was only seven years old. His 1908 collection of hymns, Songs of Pentecostal Power, became his first widely-distributed hymnal. His songs became one of the cornerstones of Southern sacred music. His Best of All hymnal is considered one of the top-selling hymnals of all time.
The marker is located at 3095 Main St, Pikeville, TN 37367.
