GMF founder and editor Libra Boyd spoke with Lee Williams this weekend. Gospel’s iceman was prepping to greet fans, perform a concert later that evening, and promote the Spiritual QCs’ new CD, Living on the Lord’s Side.
Followers of his ministry can’t get enough of Williams and his group’s soul-drenched gospel. It’s only natural that fans have become concerned by the ongoing questions surrounding his health. GMF wanted to hear straight from the source if he plans to call it quits with the QC’s anytime soon.
“That’s not my choice,” offers the debonair frontman of few words. “That’s not up to me; that’s up to God.” While the decision does not rest with him, he adds that he intends to sing for as long as God allows him and the group to carry the much needed message of hope and encouragement.
And all the rumors about his health?
“If I had a nickel for every time someone has asked me that,” he asserts, “I wouldn’t have to sing anymore; I’d be a rich man.” Pointing to heaven, he maintains, “That’s not up to me either. Like I said, as long as He lets me…”
Williams wants his supporters to know that he genuinely appreciates their concern and prayers, and he looks forward to coming their way to have a “good time.”

I'm wishing lee-williams good health and for GOD to keep his arms around him 24-7.I know he's a GOD fearing man.last I finally got to see him for the first time.I didn't like seeing him this way but,seeing him made my day,
I love Lee William's and the Qc"s. I pray Lee gets well soon. You are definitely a child of God. I remember when I heard the group for the first time. I was at Bucks Chapel, a church in Maury City Tn.It has been right at 25 years or better. He was and still is AWESOME!!
Dr. Williams
Your music has truly touched my life, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.. This is only an attack of the enemy….. God will always have your back no matter what. ..
I was introduced to Mr. Lee Williams about 6-8 months ago via Facebook.I found myself playing the post often. Then months later, I went on line to find him and his music. I couldn't stop listening to him because his singing and his person made my heart glad and his songs spoke to my soul. I then tried to find out as much information about him, and ran across a few posts that he had died. I was heart broken because it appeared that he had come to me in spirit around the same time it was stated that he had died. Well, I NOW feel that he has been brought back from the dead and he has risen to continue to praise God in this world because I heard on radio that Lee Williams and his group will be singing on April 22, 2018 at the Scripture Cathedral in MD. I will be there and I feel so blessed that God has given me this opportunity to see him in person because I sincerely know him in Spirit. THANK YOU FATHER!!!
I'm glad you learned that those posts you ran across were false rumors. Ever so often, someone decides to spread this ugly lie. The fact is that almost every weekend you can find a supporter airing live videos of Lee and the group on social media. I'm happy to hear you'll be seeing the group live soon yourself!
Mr. Williams I'm praying for you and the QC's. Speak God's word only, everyday. He's already made a way for all of his children, love to you all and God's blessings!!!
Dear Mr. William !
Just today I got the chance to listen to your wonderful voice and your incredibly meaningful songs! You did big revolution to my soul! Love your love for LORD and honest I think you love Him dearly and respect Him with whole your soul, heart and your strong mind! Bravo!
May The Dear Lord Bless You! Amen
sincerely, Miranda

Dear Brother Lee,

Tonight I, along with Wilkerson Missionary Baptist Church Family, Early Branch, SC are standing in the gap for you through the power prayer and love petitioning The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, The Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to grant you Brother Lee Williams your miracle of healing this night August 28th,2017 @ 9:18 pm. Now believe it by faith and receive it in the name of Jesus Christ.
With much Brotherly Love,
Pastor Charlie A. Grant, Jr. (cagrantjr[at]yahoo.com)
My family and I have been abundantly blessed because Mr. Lee Williams sings with the spirit of God, has such an humble and polite disposition, and has showered the world with God's praises through song. Surely God has blessings for Mr. Williams and the QCs waiting in glory. I'm so thankful to have met and heard him sing. Here's hoping we purchase instead of boot-legging Mr. Williams' wonderful works.
Thanks to you Mr. Lee Williams for such great and anointed music that God blessed you to bring to the world , you have touched so many hearts in many ways and your gift is one in a million , I pray that the healing virtue of god be upon you and your body in the name of Jesus and that the will of God ever be manifested in you . I know that God will S with your u all the way and through it all and he will indeed guide your path when it's time to sti and take a rest so you stay encouraged and know that God is on your side cause you are his child with great anointing and he's got you covered under his blood . I love you as a Christian and as a person
Let's continue to financially support Lee Williams and the QCs by buying their music and paying to see them perform. When we bless them, they will bless us back. God's got Lee and the QCs. Money should flow for the commitment these men had given their lives to. "I'm just sayin".
Praying for Bro. Lee Williams and the QC's. May God's healing power cover him. Someone please find out if Bro. Williams has been called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
He has a word from on high for the land.
May God Bless you

Mr. Williams you were taking pictures with fans but I couldn't afford one. Mr Williams would it be wrong of me to ask for a signed picture of you my name is Elizabeth Cole my address is (1305 Lee Street Commerce TX 75428). I'm praying that you send me a picture
To Mr. Lee Williams and the spirituals QCS keep on keeping on. I am a young black man who is saved by grace and have been a great fans of yours for many years. The devil cant get what God wont give him. You have been a total inspiration to me throughout all these years. I work at a very stressful job with a whole lot of racism going on but when I cant bear it sometime; I go to my computer and get on youtube and just listen to one or many of your songs and my strength to fight encourages me to go on a little while longer. I thank you for that. June 2017 I will be retiring from this job of 33 years and now I can lift my hands and say "Thank you Jesus, I made it." I pray for Mr. Williams and the spirituals QCs health and strength. Keep on singing because you're happy and free.

Hello Mr Williams. Just love your music. God bless and strengthen you daily. Yes you continue to sing for the Glory of God. That will keep you going. It's when we sit down and have nothing to occupy your mind, that weakness will come in. To the QC's, if he feels up to it physically, let him sing; actually that is what is keeping him. Let him be exposed to people and places and other's conversations and especially music. God bless you Lee Williams, man of God. Love you.

I have followed you from the beginning and I have every CD that you and the Q C's made. Your music is an inspiration to me and my grandson who is looking forward to seeing you one day. I was at your concert Saturday, April 23rd at Mt Calvary Church Baptist Church in Land ham, Maryland. I talked to two of the Q C's and they said you were in the Van I knew something was wrong when I went down stairs to talk to you and you wasn't there. I always look forward to taking pictures with you and chatting. My heart just throb when entered the church and Patrick and your son assisted you to get on and off the stage. However, there was nothing wrong with you voice when you sung. You have an amazing voice and God will see you through it all.I need not to tell you to keep trusting God, who is a healer because the words from your song tells me you are a true believer. and God will continue to bless you. I will continue to keep you uplifted in prayers and look forward to seeing you at the next concert.
