- Willie Mae Ford Smith (June 23, 1904 – February 2, 1994) was an American musician and Christian evangelist instrumental in the development and spread of gospel music in the United States. She grew up singing with her family, joining a quartet with her sisters. Later she became acquainted with Thomas A. Dorsey, the "Father of Gospel Music", when he co-founded the in 1932. Smith started the St. Louis chapter and became the director of the national organization's Soloist's Bureau, training up and coming singers in the gospel blues style. She became known for her nurturing temperament, leading to her commonly being called "Mother Smith" by those within her musical circle. For a decade she traveled ceaselessly tutoring, singing, and preaching in churches and at revivals. Her appearances were renowned for being intensely moving spiritual experiences. A devout Christian, she rejected commercializing gospel music throughout her life, even during gospel's "golden age". Smith chose to perform live and on the radio rather than record. She was ordained as a minister and preached at a church in St. Louis, Missouri, for 30 years. However, not until the 1980s did she become known to mainstream audiences. She was the primary focus of the 1982 documentary film Say Amen, Somebody, about gospel singers in the U.S. Author Anthony Heilbut states, "her admirers and protégés are legion. This is simply the most influential female gospel singer of all time, and in the opinion of many, many fans, the greatest." (en)

- When the Holy Ghost hit me, I hit the floor. On the train coming back to St. Louis, I kept everybody up all night long, trying to talk, speaking in tongues.... Honey, this child got soused good. The Lord had to fix me up, because you see I was a wild person, just like a wild buck. I made fun of holiness people. I laughed at 'em and tried to do the holy dance. I would just cut up. (en)
- Mother Smith ... was Holy-Ghost filled... She was dramatic. When she said she felt like flying away, in your mind's eye, you could visualize this... She had power in her voice [and] in her expression. She was a singer. I've seen her walk out singing... on the way to her next appearance... and folks is just shoutin' everywhere, hats flyin' and carryin' on, just somethin' terrible. She'd come in and just wreck all them buildings. That was Mother Smith, and she loved it. (en)
- "Dorsey, come on, man, you've got to go on down here. It's a woman down there from," I think he said, "St. Louis, or Kansas City, somewhere in Missouri, man. She's got that 'If You See My Savior.' She's laying them out in the aisle and the folk are just jumping and going on. Man, you got to see them." I said, "Oh, I ain't got time." He said, "No, come on, get ready, get ready; I'll be back at such and such a time. They kind of out for dinner now; you get ready and come and go." I did. (en)
