  • Description

    "America's greatest singer." - PULSE
    "The greatest gospel singer of her generation." - TIME
    "...the greatest singer ever." - ROLLING STONE

    No other singer of any genre of music has ever had such amazing praise as is reflected in the above quotes and in hundreds of other superlative reviews. Her performances have been featured in such high profile vehicles as the highly successful film "Fried Green Tomatoes," Bill Moyer's PBS specials and the movie "Mama Flora's Family."

    Tracks include: "Packin' Up," an exceedingly rare live recording of Marion, accompanied by The Famous Ward Singers - the opening choruses alone reveal that she was a powerful influence on Little Richard, The Isley Brothers, James Brown and many others, "Press On," featuring the great organist Herbert Pickard, "I'm A Stranger," and many other undiscovered treasures.
