Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 – June 26, 1952) was an American composer and publisher of gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South.
He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total.
[1] Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee.
