Correct!
One theory regarding the start of “Music City” involves the Fisk Jubilee Singers. During a tour of Great Britain and Europe in 1873, the group performed several songs for Queen Victoria. Among those songs were “Steal Away to Jesus” and “Go Down Moses.” After hearing the singers, Victoria was so impressed that she supposedly said they “must be from the music city.” However, the Jubilee Singers’ director, Paul T. Kwami, does not believe that story to be true, instead claiming that the name “Music City” can be attributed to a radio DJ who referred to Nashville using that name.
