Martin Luther King and Willa Dorsey
Willa Dorsey was friends with Martin Luther King. As a matter of fact, she lived next door to him in Atlanta. She was also friends with his mother. Sister Dorsey told me about when, after she had traveled all around the world, she went back and told his mother that in cities all around the world, she saw streets and boulevards named after him, from the Philippines to Holland, from Europe to Asia. Sister Dorsey told me, Mrs. King was so blessed by that news, so thankful that her son had made an impression all over the world.

Searching for videos of Willa Dorsey!
Singing with joy for Jesus!
I am searching for videos of Willa Dorsey – besides the ones on YouTube, we have copies of all of those. These would be videos of her singing in your church or on TV, such as signing off Channel 8 in Portland (remember when she did that in the 70s?) or when she was on the religious channel in Portland, her Christmas special or the musical special she did with Dr. Tom, the pianist. I read about a TV interview when she spoke about living next door to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Do you have any videos of Willa Dorsey?
We are collecting them for her son, Billy, who has no videos of his mom. Thank you and God Bless You.
Share your memories
This is a great place for you to share your memories of Willa Dorsey. I am thinking of the first time I met her. I was so touched by how much she loved Jesus and how she was not afraid to express her love for Him! Her voice was so tender and loving. She truly wanted everyone to know and love her Jesus as much as she did, to rely on Him for everything.

Willa Dorsey Song of the Day
Today it’s “Fill My Cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord, come and quench the thirsting of my soul!”
“Like the woman at the well, I was seeking for things that could not satisfy. And then I heard the Savior speaking, ‘Draw from my well that never will run dry.’”
