In Her Own Words

Singer Betty Johnson's extraordinary voice lifted her from the arduous cotton fields of North Carolina to the luxury of Park Avenue. From the sweet sounds of the Johnson Family Singers, Americas first family of gospel, to the elegant rhythms of her solo career in top venues around the globe, music was the saving force in a difficult life filled with personal hardships and devastating secrets. The Cinderella tale of this hard-working determined woman leaves you cheering as the triumphs of her later life overshadow the pain of her early life. This is the story of tremendous faith and even greater love, but above all, it's a story of music.
