Joe Hill, born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund in Gävle, Sweden, and also known as Joseph Hillström (October 7, 1879 – November 19, 1915) was a Swedish-American labor activist, songwriter, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, familiarly called the «Wobblies ). A native Swedish speaker, he learned English during the early 1900s, while working various jobs from New York to San Francisco. Hill, an immigrant worker frequently facing unemployment and underemployment, became a popular songwriter and cartoonist for the union. His most famous songs include The Preacher and the Slave (in which he coined the phrase pie in the sky ), The Tramp , There is Power in a Union , The Rebel Girl , and Casey Jones—the Union Scab , which express the harsh and combative life of itinerant workers, and call for workers to organize their efforts to improve working conditions. • I Dreamed I saw Joe Hill Last Night • Hill was memorialized in a tribute poem written about him c. 1930 by Alfred Hayes titled I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night , sometimes referred to simply as Joe Hill . Hayes's lyrics were turned into a song in 1936 by Earl Robinson, who wrote in 1986, 'Joe Hill' was written in Camp Unity in the summer of 1936 in New York State, for a campfire program celebrating him and his songs... Hayes gave a copy of his poem to fellow camp staffer Robinson, who wrote the tune in 40 minutes. • Paul Robeson and Pete Seeger often performed this song and are associated with it, along with Irish folk group The Dubliners. Joan Baez's Woodstock performance of Joe Hill in 1969 (documented on the 1970 documentary and corresponding soundtrack album) is one of the best known recordings. She also recorded the song numerous times, including a live version on her 2005 album Bowery Songs. Scott Walker recorded a version for his album The Moviegoer. In May 2014, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their concert in Tampa, Florida with the song. • More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hill • Source: Archive Org. CC 1.0
