Gospel Singer Keith Williams Jr. Delivers National Anthem at World Series Game 1

Keith Williams Jr., a gospel singer from Compton, California, opened the Dodgers vs. Astros World Series series opener on Tuesday evening (Oct. 24) in Los Angeles.

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

The singer delivered a faithful rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" embellished with a stunning falsetto at the song's end notes.

Keith Williams Jr. may not be a household name, but he made quite the impression with his World Series performance. "That’s about a fine a rendition of our national anthem you’re going to see," one sports columnist wrote on Twitter, while WNBA player Chiney Ogwumike said, "It was sooooo extra and absolutely EVERYTHING."

 

That’s about a fine a rendition of our national anthem you’re going to see. Bravo, Keith Williams Jr.
