Sharrie Williams is considered the uncrowned queen of soul, funk and gospel. Her musical style has its roots in gospel choirs, but a difficult childhood as an orphan gave her an understanding of the blues. Her unique style has been influenced by Tina Turner, Etta James, KoKo Taylor and Billie Holiday. She has performed together with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Guy, Larry McCray, KoKo Taylor, Bobby Blue Bland, Joanna Conner, Delbert McClinton, Debra Coleman, Shemika Copland, Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal and Honey Boy Edwards.
