Marion Williams (29 August 1927 – 2 July 1994) was an American gospel singer.
Calling
She stayed with gospel in spite of pressure to switch to popular blues tunes or the opera. – Wikipedia

She could have found ample reward
From secular choices
Afforded to voices, –
But she opted to sing for the Lord.
