The Legendary Marion Williams (1)
Marion is a powerful documentary on the life of an American Gospel Icon whose success inspired not only her generation but many generations to come. Marion singing helped make the Ward Singers nationally popular when they began recording in 1948, and also inspired rock and roll pioneer Little Richard's signature wail. In addition as a strong singer with a preternaturally broad range, she was able to reach the highest registers of the soprano range without losing either purity or volume, she could also swoop down to growling low notes in the style of a country preacher.
