Williams F1
some of the sports all-time greatest drivers in its 26 year history.
And Franks secret of success? An unwavering desire to win combined with
an inexhaustible energy and commitment to the sport he loves.
Frank was born on the 16th of April 1942, in South Shields, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Although a proud Geordie, Franks youth was predominantly spent in Scotland where he attended boarding school near Dumfries, and it was at that time that he first became interested in motor racing, following the fortunes of Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins. This experience was crystallised in 1958 when he attended one of his very first races the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Frank Williams
Franklin “Frank” Delano Williams, a gospel music vocalist, musician, recording artist and record company executive, was born to Leon “Pop” and Amanda Williams on June 27, 1947, in Smithville, Mississippi. He began his quartet singing career as a preteen, joining the Southern Gospel Singers and becoming one of the earliest members of the Williams Brothers, the family quartet Pop organized in 1960.
By 1964, Frank had exited the Williams Brothers to join his brother, Huey Paul Williams, in the Jackson Southernaires. Founded in the 1940s in Jackson, Mississippi, the Jackson Southernaires started out as a local group. Anchored by the combined talents of Frank and Huey and vocalist Willie Banks, the quartet scored a record deal in 1963 with Song Bird, a subsidiary of Peacock Records. Between 1963 and 1974, the group waxed several hits for Song Bird, though none were bigger than 1968’s mournful Too Late, led by Huey. In 1973, the quartet was popular enough to host its own television program called Gospel Unlimited.
