Driving home last Friday I got to hear an interview with Robert Darden on the history of gospel music. Worth going back and listening to again. One of Darden's favorite singers, and mine, is Marion Williams. Of all her recordings, my favorite is probably her gosptel rendition of Hare Krishna, which is practically impossible to find these days. They play it occasionally over on WFMU though. (This link will take you to the playlist for Douglas' Rubarb Cake show from 11.16.00, and from there you can listen to the entire show with RealPlayer. The entire show is well worth listening to! Williams' rendition of Hare Krishna is right near the end of the stream, 2 hours 47 minutes and 35 seconds into the show. Don't be alarmed by anything you might hear before or after Williams' number!)
