Mrs. Williams was from my hometown and has a park named after her there in Danville, Virginia she was an awesome person from what I hear from my grandparents and others that heard her sing in earlier years. R.I.P. I'm glad that she was able to be highly recognized while she lived!
This is my first time every hearing about such a dynamic woman, Opera Singer, teacher etc. I'm truly excited about finding out about 'The Opera Singer Camilla Wiliams!'
thank you so much for making this. I am taken away by hearing her singing Beau Soir. I regret that I never knew about her until today, when I saw the obit. Not just a terrific artist, but an important artist.
Thank you so much for this ... hearing of her death, I remembered meeting her and was curious to finally hear her voice. She was truly a great artist, and although it is much-delayed, I deeply appreciate and honor her work and her accomplishment. Thank you again, dear friend.
Very nice tribute, but the image of King does not come from the 1963 March on Washington. It comes from an earlier rally at the mall called the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in 1957. Notice that King is wearing the pastoral robe; at the march he wore his business suit.
Ms. Williams was a great artist and gave so much to those around here, not only musically. I will always remember her appearances at rehearsals of the New York All City Concert Choir conducted by her dear friend John L. Motley.
What an incredible talent and obviously a wonderful person. Thank you so much for schooling the younger generation. Before I really started to dig deep into the opera world, I only knew Marian Anderson through history books. Price, Norman and Battle I know because of their long careers in opera. Actually, Ms. Battle may have taken a few pages from Ms. Williams' book. Thank you for sharing!

... this is a wonderful video. I heard her at The City Center (Opera) many years ago. I was young and just learning about opera but i always remembered her performances. (Since i used to "sneak in") I never heard the first act of "anything". Ah- those were wonderful days.
I was privileged to study with Miss Williams while at IU. She has been one of the greatest influences on my life and I will be forever grateful to her for her masterful teaching, the passion for music and life she shared, and her love. A truly remarkable woman!
Miss Williams is a real treat. She lives here in Bloomington Indiana and I see her quite often. She eats at all the local reastaurants but her favorite is Red Lobster.
Thank you for such a wonderful detailed biography on Miss Williams. I had the honor of studying voice with her at her lovely apartment on the upper east side in NYC for two years before she left for Indiana. We still speak to each year and she is as gracious and loving as ever.
Thanks so much for making this video! I worked on a Masters in Piano at IU and worked with the voice teachers there. I remember Camilla Williams being very gracious, funny, and beautiful. A shout out to all IU music school graduates!!!!!
