Marion Williams sings George Harrison’s ’My Sweet Lord’ (1971)

Marion Williams was an American gospel singer, widely considered to have possessed one of the greatest natural singing voices of the century. She rejected many offers to record popular music and even from opera companies. Here in one of the few commercial albums she did record, she sings a gospel-styled version of George Harrison’s famous 1970 hit ’My Sweet Lord’. With the exception of the beginning, this arrangement bears little resemblance to the original song. Photos: Left: Marion W
