"When the Saints Go Marching In", often referred to as simply "The Saints", is a traditional black spiritual.It originated as a Christian hymn, but is often played by jazz bands: this song, indeed, was famously recorded on May 13, 1938, by Louis Armstrong and his orchestra.

The song is sometimes confused with a similarly titled composition: "When the Saints Are Marching In", a song from 1896 by Katharine Purvis (lyrics) and James Milton Black (music).

The origins of this song are unclear.It apparently evolved in the early 1900s from a number of similarly titled gospel songs, including "When the Saints Are Marching In" (1896) and "When the Saints March In for Crowning" (1908).The first known recorded version was in 1923 by the Paramount Jubilee Singers. Although the title given on the label is "When All the Saints Come Marching In", the group sings the modern lyrics beginning with "When the saints go marching in". No author is shown on the label. Several other gospel versions were recorded in the 1920s, with slightly varying titles but using the same lyrics, including versions by The Four Harmony Kings (1924), Elkins-Payne Jubilee Singers (1924), Wheat Street Female Quartet (1925), Bo Weavil Jackson (1926), Deaconess Alexander (1926), Rev. E. D. Campbell (1927), Robert Hicks (AKA Barbecue Bob, 1927), Blind Willie Davis (1928), and the Pace Jubilee Singers (1928).

The earliest versions were slow and stately, but as time passed, the recordings became more rhythmic, including a distinctly up-tempo version by the Sanctified Singers on British Parlophone in 1931.

Even though the song had folk roots, a number of composers claimed copyright in it in later years, including Luther G. Presley[6] and Virgil Oliver Stamps,R. E. Winsett.The tune is particularly associated with the city of New Orleans. A jazz standard, it has been recorded by many jazz and pop artists.
