Huey Williams, longtime lead singer of the legendary gospel group the Jackson Southernaires, has died. He was 86.
Williams, whose powerful vocals helped define the group’s signature sound, passed away March 24, 2025. The Mississippi native dedicated his life to spreading the gospel in song, inspiring generations of quartet singers—including his younger brothers Leonard, Melvin, and Doug—and earning the respect of his peers in the industry. Huey’s younger brother, Frank Williams, was also a key member of the Jackson Southernaires before founding the Mississippi Mass Choir.
Fans and fellow gospel artists have taken to social media with condolences and tributes.
A musical celebration will be held on Friday, March 28, at 6 p.m., followed by a celebration of life service on Saturday, March 29, at 1 p.m. Both services will take place at East Fernwood Missionary Baptist Church in McComb, MS.
GMF extends sincere condolences to the entire Williams family as well as the Jackson Southernaires.
