Marion is hitting those amazing notes, the vocal equivalent of a swinging guitar. It's killing how she takes breaths between notes thereby making it sound as if she's hitting a keyboard or a fretboard, not merely using her throat. This Lucy Smith composition became a big hit in the white gospel field, as did several other Ward classics. But that was the early 1950s, apartheid America. So the Wards never traveled to the Grand Ole Opry.

I believe that is Mrs. Willa hitting them high notes. I think. lol. If it is, she is doing this some wonderful and beautiful justice.
