Henry Clay Work (October 1, 1832 – June 8, 1884) was an American composer and songwriter. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. Work produced much of his best material during the American Civil War. In 1865 he wrote his greatest hit, "Marching Through Georgia", inspired by Sherman's march to the sea at the end of the previous year. A massive hit was "My Grandfather's Clock", published in 1876. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Henry+Clay+Work">Read more on Last.fm</a>
