    Do you remember Paul Williams, one of the founding members and the original lead singer of the Motown group the Temptations? He was the son of Sophia and Rufus Williams, a gospel singer in the gospel music vocal group called the Ensley Jubilee Singers.

    Let's see there were 1,2,3-4,5,6,7 of them were in the group according to the Birmingham News (anold newspaper clipping). They were familiar to Birmingham audiences both live and on radio. Silas Wooley, Lon hanlpr, Rufus Williams, James Williams (the leader), Marshall Johnson, Tommy Walton, and Morris Ridley. Ridgely played the guitar. They were well known at the church and performed old plantation numbers and appeared in the auditorium.

    You can hear the Ensley Jubilee Singers on YouTube, and see a photo of them in the video. I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Gospel Greats Podcast.
