Keith Williams Jr. may not be a household name, but he made quite the impression with his World Series performance of the national anthem. The Gospel singer delivered a faithful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” embellished with a stunning falsetto at the song’s end notes.
The Gospel singer from Compton, California, opened the Dodgers vs. Astros World Series opener on Tuesday evening (Oct. 24) in Los Angeles.
“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.”
It was not the first time he was singing a rendition of the national anthem at a game, in 2016, he stunned the crowd at Dodger Stadium with an incredible performance of the National Anthem.Also in August, he performed the National Anthem before the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium and did an amazing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before the USC Women of Troy basketball game versus Arizona in 2016.
