Odell McLeod (1916-2003), known affectionately as Mac Odell, was a country-gospel singer, radio entertainer, and songwriter. His early influences included the likes of Skillet Lickers, Deford Bailey, and Jimmie Rodgers. He began his professional career working with Slim Basset as Mac and Slim in the 1930s. After marrying Addie in 1939, the husband wife duo went on to become a much-loved radio team, known as Mac and Little Addie, on WJJD in Chicago's Suppertime Frolic. Even after decades of success, Mac and Addie continued to tour the globe as the renowned gospel duo A.G. and Kate.
The sheet music's cover displays an illustration of the Three Wise Men following the star to Bethlehem to find the newly born King, in navy blue hues, complemented by an inset portrait of Andy Wilson. Preserved in a protective sleeve, it is in excellent condition without any rips or tears.
