I have been on this earth 57 years, and have listened to gospel music since before I could walk. And yet, today is the first time I have heard of Marion Wiliams. What a pity.
I been trying to wake up people as to how great this woman really was glad somebody is notice. We always thought it was just mahalia but she was just as good
As a child between the age of 12~13, I had what I know now, was a privilege to sing n take voice lessons with the late, great Professor ALEX BRADFORD.He had a studio/office on Clinton Ave. In Newark, N.J.
im sure ive watched this a hundred times and it sends me in everytime!! OMG!!! you could feel her conviction and anointing kicking in around 3:05 - 3:45 those are two major elements of Gospel singing! wish she was around to sing like that now!!! i love her!!!
our purpose is to minsiter with song and music is to praise the lord. God gave her that voice for us to rejoice and to uplift. amen praise ye the lord!
3:04 Great moments captured here from "I don't know about you tonight . . ." then her great shouts, and bouncing on her feet with "with my, with my", to the end, when she folds her hands in prayer, suddenly inside herself . . . She died, of surgery caused by blood poisoning, as I recall, just after she had received a MacArthur Genius fellowship
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. My sin-oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!- My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul! And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.
Contemporary musicians could learn alot from this woman and not just about singing. I don't need anyone to tell me to like this all I had to do was listen.
that woman know she sung this one!!! OMG!!!!! and when she started expressing in her voice what she was feeling toward the end, that took me out of here!!! thanks for posting it!
If you do not know the origins of this piece of music and how it came to be composed, I encourage those watching to look it up. When you know the backstory this rendition takes on an even greater depth.
Little Richard credits her as one of his influences. LR said he got his "woo woo" from Marion Williams. Start listening about 3:10, to not miss how she belts it out, then the "wooo" at about 3:18.
Heard her on same tour, in London (Black Nativity). Included Alex Bradford & also Madeleine Bell who settled here. Marion was 5 foot nothing, stocky and an amazing singer.
in spite of the hell the black folk faced..at the end of the day "it was still well with their souls" because in the end when all this big bruhaha is finished with, It is the "soul"..that electromagnetic force within us that will see us thru.
aww thank yo everyone for the beautiful comments, that is my grandmother, and even though she is no longer with us, her presence is always felt...
in VERY loving memory of Mrs. Marion Williams (1927 - 1994 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
She ain trying to be cute like ppl today. It aint a show. This is real!! She put everything into her singing!!!
3:16 powerful growled (squalled) G5 followed by an explosive head note (C#6) with that insane vibrato. What a voice.
I have been on this earth 57 years, and have listened to gospel music since before I could walk. And yet, today is the first time I have heard of Marion Wiliams. What a pity.
That voice ... her voice 🔥 vocal ranges.... powerful 💥 👸🏼
Marion Williams is the only singer that can express this thing I have in my heart.
I have never heard this sung with such raw and unabated passion and power, beautiful!
Listening to Mama Marion makes you truly understand that a voice is a gift from GOD.
One of the greatest gospel singers of all time!!
I been trying to wake up people as to how great this woman really was glad somebody is notice. We always thought it was just mahalia but she was just as good
I had never heard of her until I saw a clip on Tiktok. She was nothing short of phenomenal.
What a blessing God has given her, she sings as soft as cotton or she belt out another note that kind make you shiver
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you at this moment?
Incomparable. Spirit filled brilliance
Songs like this confirmed that Angels are singing in heaven and we soon be there
The heavens opened and I was in awe of the beauty, Marian Williams.
Powerful voice. She sang from the heart.
The lord must be enjoying her voice up in heaven
She is one of the greatest Sopranos
Halleluyah ! Is it well with your soul? If it is not well with your soul, you can make it well with your soul right now as Sis. Williams sings.
What a voice what an anointing.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hats off to Ms Marion Williams....Well Done, Well Done indeed. It truly is well with my Soul.
Wow I love her vocal range
I'm watchin this over and over, I think I'm just gonna try downloading it.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin-oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!-
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
Some voices just stop you in your tracks and put you under arrest......
