Review by RYAN MARC ARCES

Marion Williams' album Negro Spirituals is a powerful and moving collection of songs that showcases her incredible vocal range and emotional depth. From the hauntingly beautiful "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" to the joyful "I Want Jesus to Walk with Me," Williams' performance on this album is nothing short of breathtaking.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Wade in the Water," which features Williams' soulful voice soaring over a lively gospel choir. The song's message of hope and redemption is both uplifting and inspiring, and Williams' delivery is nothing short of electrifying.

Another highlight of the album is "Go Down Moses," a traditional spiritual that Williams imbues with a sense of urgency and passion. Her voice is at once powerful and tender, conveying the deep emotion and spiritual resonance of the song.

For the next 15 years, she toured widely, singing in concert halls, theaters, and in nightclubs in the United States, Africa, and the West Indies, on television and at jazz festivals, and most of all at dozens of colleges across the county. Her recording of "How I Got Over" sold more than a million copies. In The Gospel Sound, Tony Heilbut's critical and comprehensive study of gospel music, acclaims Marion Williams as quite simply "the most lyrical and imaginative singer gospel has produced." In her long distinguished career, which took her throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa, she brought together the best of the many different traditions that make up gospel music--the directness of , the wit of , the fervor of , and the grandeur of and --and produced a unique personal sound that has had a major impact throughout American music from jazz to blues, from rock to soul, on instrumentalists and vocalists alike. Her growling, hollering hands-on-the-hips vocal style made her the most undisputed star. Her performances astonished all, quickly becoming famous for their rhythmic control, perfect timing, and remarkable use of portamento, falsetto, and ornamentation. In 1958, she and other members of the Ward group formed the , an ensemble most famous for inspiring the creation of Black Nativity, the first gospel musical which also boasted a commissioned book by Langston Hughes. It was well-received on Broadway, but in Europe, they toured for three years throughout Great Britain, Scandinavia, and the Continent.
