Blinky Williams: Motown, Sammy Davis Jr., Gospel, & Her Cameo in REAGAN (Ep. 44)

In this new episode of Mark Joseph’s Making REAGAN series, Motown and gospel legend Blinky Williams joins Mark to look back on her cameo in REAGAN, where she appears as a member of young Reagan’s church congregation. Blinky shares what it was like filming her part in Los Angeles during the COVID era and then being digitally placed into the scene that had been shot in Oklahoma.From there, the conversation moves to Blinky’s remarkable life and career—from growing up in the church with Andraé Crouch and Billy Preston to signing with Motown, meeting Barry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, recording with Edwin Starr, and spending nine years performing with Sammy Davis Jr. She also reflects on Billy Preston and The Beatles, her lifelong connection to gospel music, and the faith that kept her grounded throughout her journey.Check out Blinky Williams' album, Heart Full of Soul: The Motown Anthology, available on CD now: https://a.co/d/0h7eNORmOwn your copy of the REAGAN Movie now on DVD, Blu-Ray, Amazon and Apple TV.Blu-Ray / DVD: https://a.co/d/02Y2zt5vAmazon Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DMTJMRWY/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rApple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/reagan/umc.cmc.6yum5f9xp7nawka60vvtjh68uREAGAN: The Director’s Cut in theaters on September 25th.Check out producer Mark Joseph’s book Making REAGAN, out now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.Amazon: https://a.co/d/09Rh66XLBarnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/making-reagan-mark-joseph/1147150440?ean=9798330201822Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Making-REAGAN-A-Memoir-from-the-Producer-of-the-REAGAN-Movie-Hardcover-9798330201822/15610673227?classType=REGULAR&from=%2Fsearch&sid=eb7a975c-01fc-4fc0-8511-6abe8d336d8cListen to REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, REAGAN: Songs Inspired By The Film, and REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Score, available now to purchase and stream on all major music platforms.Songs Inspired By The Film: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganinspiredbyOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganOriginal Motion Picture Score:Amazon Music: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DN78RPQ8?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_ZhsFL12QR0RNZKIkrnd45259NApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reagan-original-motion-picture-score/1780022720Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7hOEFiaWsWm0LOU0WG9W3f?si=HGZRMCDaT0iOIPLI5ikO4ASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
