Oley Speaks (June 28, 1874 – August 7, 1948) was an American composer and songwriter.[1] His compositions include many religious songs, as well as his best-known success, "On the Road to Mandalay", which takes its lyrics from the poem "Mandalay" by Rudyard Kipling. The Canal Winchester Area Historical Society Museum has exhibits about the life of Oley Speaks, including original sheet music written by him.[2] Source de l'extrait biographique : Wikipedia
