Nicholas Hickman, 18, is a Share America Scholar who is a graduate of Ringgold High School in Ringgold, Ga. He attends Dalton State College studying communications. He has performed with the ensemble SingAkadamie since age 12 and appeared in numerous musical stage productions.

"When WSB Barndance star Cotton Carrier originally wrote the lyrics to this song in 1954, he envisioned it for then pop gospel entertainer Martha Carson. With my new melody and some refreshed lyrics, I think Nicholas Hickman and the kids of SingAkadamie with director Sheri Thrower give it an amazing sound that Cotton would love." Randall Franks
