	Marion Williams Biography - AOL Music
		In her heyday she was hailed by some critics as one the greatest singers in the U.S. Williams was born in a Miami ghetto, the daughter of a West Indian butcher and a South Carolina laundry woman.
		Williams' own love of gospel music began in childhood, and she would sing and listen to it at every opportunity.
		Williams' extraordinary singing attracted considerable attention, but though attempts were made to steer her into everything from opera to the blues, she was determined to spread the gospel and by 1946 was known as the best gospel soloist in Miami.

	Central Bank of Barbados' Governor Dr Marion Williams Barbados' economic activity expanding
		Williams said economic activity would expand by between three per cent and three-and-a-half per cent this year, on the strength of increased growth in tourism, construction and wholesale and retail activity.
		Williams added that after global travel was affected by terrorist activity elsewhere, the record had shown that travel diverted to a destination like ours.
		Williams, who was speaking at a Press conference to review the January to March performance, linked the most recent economic improvement to an estimated 7.1 per cent upturn in the traded sectors, mainly tourism.

	The Other Side -- The Morning Star Sang to God by Lenore Yarger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Marion Williams's art is a ministry that gushes naturally, audaciously forth in trills, hoots, hollers, and melody, a deluge of love and inner yearning impossible to hold back.
		Marion Williams was just three years old in 1930 when she first started singing at the Pentecostal Church of God in Miami, Florida, her hometown.
		Marion Williams's words, combined with the melodic highs and lows and sensual complexities of her voice, make it obvious that something larger than life is at work here.

	Gadfly Online.
		The fact that Williams could hit the highest notes and then suddenly drop two octaves or intonate with strains of deep blues or turn her voice into a wildly improvisational instrument the way Louis Armstrong did with his trumpet all added up to an intensely dramatic redemption of spirit and soul.
		By her early teens, Williams had been introduced to such popular gospel singers of the day as the Sallie Martin Singers, the Smith Jubilee Singers, Mary Johnson Davis and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, as well as the inescapable sounds of blues and jazz; and both the sacred and the secular entered into her still‑forming singing style.
		Williams was so poor that she didn't own even one dress nice enough to sing in a northern urban church.

	Marion Williams - Gospel - Christian/Gospel - Music - www.real.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Generally considered one of the most influential Gospel singers of all time, Marion Williams sung with a full-body growl so intense that anyone who wants to dispute her right to the title had better bring along a megaphone and some throat lozenges.
		A stint with the short-lived Stars of Faith followed, and in 1965 she launched a solo career that was marked by comeback after comeback until her death in 1994.
		Regardless of where she was on the charts or in her personal life, Williams' singing was never less than spectacular and her commitment to Christ was downright inflammatory.

	No. 1-01-0963, Horace Mann Insurance Co. v. Williams
		Marion Williams demanded $200,000 in the settlement of her claim, $100,000 representing the policy limit for uninsured motorist coverage and $100,000 for underinsured motorist coverage.
		Marion Williams stated during deposition that the two interior doors in the foyer of the two-flat building were "[n]ever ever locked." She stated that the keys used to lock and unlock the interior doors were not the same keys used on the main entrance.
		Marion explained that she primarily used one particular phone line because the other phone line was the line that her sister, Shirlene, used to "operate her TDD." The phone line that Marion used rang only upstairs.

	STATE OF MICHIGAN
		Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder, MCL 750.317; MSA 28.549, three counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and five counts of possession of a firearm in the course of committing a felony.
		Although Williams saw fire jump from defendant's gun when defendant shot at him, he was not hit; nonetheless, Williams slumped over as if shot.
		Moreover, in a case in which defendant was identified by three victims as the person who committed the offense, it is highly unlikely that this evidence could have altered the outcome of the case.

	Marion Williams : Remember Me - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Gospel great Marion Williams possessed one of the strongest voices in the history of American music, and with a four-octave range coupled with her uncanny rhythmic timing and a dynamic grasp of melisma that kept it from being mere ornamentation, she stalked the gospel stage like few have before or since.
		Remember Me is a powerful retrospective of Williams' solo years, and includes several live and previously unissued tracks, all of which feature her stunning, dynamic singing.
		Similarly, her take on "O Death" changes the tone of the song from a desperate request to a flat-out demand for "another day." Williams' 1981 version of "City of Heaven" is a huge, ominous masterpiece, and the bluesy emotion in her voice is almost terrifying in its immediacy.

	James Marion Williams, Sheriff, Comanche County, Kansas

		Critics claiming Williams as the "greatest" might impress readers, but the legendary singer stated her case more eloquently than any writer could ever hope, simply by opening her mouth and cutting loose.
		Williams can soar with operatic purity, bend notes with the acuity of a soul shouter, and color phrases with the swiftness of a Shakespearean actor.
		Even though she devoutly believed in God, Williams realized that death is a mournful and terrifying prospect for those dancing with the devil.
