Precious Memories is a traditional gospel hymn credited to J.B.F. Wright in 1925. However, records indicate the song may have been around as early as 1877. It has been performed by a wide variety of famous recording artists including Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, and Bob Dylan. It was also the last song on the soundtrack of the 1979-film 'Hard Core', then performed by Susan Raye.
