A Little History
Frank
Williams, founder of the group, began singing gospel music in churches
as a child, spending his evenings immersed in the sounds and ways
of the gospel under the guiding hand of his father, Leon. Frank
performed with his brothers in an act know as The Williams Brothers,
later joining the Jackson Southernaires. After many years
of touring as an artist, Frank had a vision that the great and soulful
voices of Mississippi needed to be captured in choir. For nine years
this idea grew in his mind until he could contain it no longer.
He approached his gospel-writing friend, David Curry, with his ambitions
and the rest is history! The two sent audition announcements via
radio across the state of Mississippi and tapes began pouring in.
With great enthusiasm, the people of Mississippi thrust themselves
into the mission of this choir, to serve God through song. Redefining
the choir experience, each concert is like a rousing church service,
with a Reverend at the helm. Skillfully weaving a scriptural message
into the soul-stirring, roof-raising gospel sounds of the singers,
Reverend Benjamin Cone, the choir's spiritual advisor, delivers
with the authority of one who knows God personally. His presence
on stage commands attention, his deep articulate voice bears listening.
By the end of the concert, there is no one left who has remained
in their seat throughout, no voice unsung, no hands left hanging
limply at anyone's side, and no one who hasn't felt a mountain move
within them by what they have just experienced. The Mississippi
Mass Choir moves the masses.
