America Song is a live television series which aired on NBC during prime time, premiering on April 21, 1948, and ending on April 25, 1949.[1] In its final four months, the program's title was American Songs.[1]

Hosted by Paul Arnold, the program presented performances of United States folk music with Nellie Fisher (who also choreographed dances)[2] and Ray Harrison as featured dancers. Each episode was 20 minutes long.[3]

America Song was produced by Fred Coe and directed by Ira Skutch.[2] Its competition included Kiernan's Corner on ABC and newscasts on CBS and DuMont.[3]

A review of the June 16, 1948, episode in the trade publication Billboard described America Song as "a simple, unassuming television program, but one which is completely satisfying".[4]
