والاس ويليس (بالإنجليزية: Wallace Willis) هو كاتب أغاني أمريكي، (و. 1828 م). (ar) Wallace Willis était un ancien esclave indien choctaw qui fut affranchi par testament par son maitre en 1860. Il a ensuite vécu dans le Territoire indien. C'est cet ancien esclave qui en 1862 a composé le negro spiritual Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Pour ce negro spiritual, il s'est inspiré de la rivière Rouge au Mississippi, qui lui rappelait le Jourdain, et du prophète Élie qui aurait rejoint le paradis dans un chariot. Wallace Willis est né en 1820 et mort en 1880[réf. nécessaire]. Les lieux de naissance et de décès restent encore inconnus. (fr) Wallace Willis was a Choctaw freedman living in the Indian Territory, in what is now Choctaw County, near the city of Hugo, Oklahoma, US. His dates are unclear: perhaps 1820 to 1880. He is credited with composing (probably before 1860) several Negro spirituals. Willis received his name from his owner, Britt Willis, probably in Mississippi, the ancestral home of the Choctaws. He died, probably in what is now Atoka County, Oklahoma, as his unmarked grave is located there. Before the Civil War Willis and his wife, Aunt Minerva, were sent by their owner to work at the Spencer Academy where the superintendent, Reverend Alexander Reid, heard them singing. In 1871 Reid was at a performance of the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University and thought the songs he had heard the Willises singing were better than those of the Jubilee Singers. He furnished them to the group, which performed them in the United States and Europe. Many are now famous, including "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Steal Away To Jesus". It is sometimes said that the songs credited to Willis had actually been written by unknown composers, but there is no record of any of the songs until they were performed by the Jubilee Singers.
