JACK WILLIAMS -- Readers, did you know ... the story behind his song?
The Herald Bulletin

Turn on the radio, attend a school holiday concert or slip into a pew during Advent and you're bound to hear a verse or two of the now-familiar song, "Mary, Did You Know?"

Composed by a guy named Mark Lowry, the song has translated successfully across a variety of musical genres.

Depending on where your musical tastes take you in the record store, you'll find covers of the song by American Idol performer Clay Aiken; pop and jazz artist Natalie Cole; opera singer Kathleen Battle; a who's who of country artists, including Reba McEntire, Kathy Mattea, Billy Dean and the duet of Wynonna Judd and Kenny Rogers; gospel music's Gaither Vocal Band and Michael English; and the artist formerly known for his puppy love, Donnie Osmond. Whenever the song is mentioned today, the words "modern classic" are usually close by.
