I love the bass that JD puts out, and not to mention the crystal clear spirit that comes out.

I feel compelled to tell this quick story. In the mid 70's I had the pleasure of having JD and the stamps join me on stage in a supper club I was playing. I learned this song in hopes of having JD sing it with me. To my surprise and a little coaxing JD agreed to come on stage and sing it. The most dramatic part of this experience was when JD slid down and hit the low note. I had two hot spot monitors on either side of my keyboard and both of them fried at the same time!!! JD offered to pay for the damages as he heard both speakers blow. I of coarse declined the offer, because for me, the experience of him singing this song with me was well worth it!!!!!

That is great to hear. I mean, Sumner Is legendary. I couldn't imagine standing next to him hitting those notes. You are extremely lucky to have even seen him in the flesh.

@Gutz2464 no , I bought 2 new ones. Should have saved because of the experience with JD. 👍🏼😁

I had the privlage to meet him several times. The Gospel radio station I worked for use to sponser all the concerts in our area. He was a very polite and playful gentleman. And probably the best bass I ever heard in my life. He is missed.

Here in Leavenworth, Ks. we had a radio station, KCLO, and they played Southern and Country Gospel. When I was 6 or 7, they played a live concert of JD Sumner and the Stamps. There was one song that I absolutely loved from that concert and it made me a JD fan for life. I never could remember what that song was. All I remembered was that he got real low and on one part he said to one of the other guys, "You better be glad you're my son-in-law, Boy." Thank you. I've found my song. 40 years later.

This song is beyond just being an iconic christian song but a tribute to the ability to make the most powerful sounds in music. All musicians need equipment to create these sounds jd did it without sound affects.

I once had the opportunity to interview JD while he was sitting on his tour bus. He was very cordial, kind, and talkative. He answered all my questions and never presented himself as simply doing a favor for a young radio announcer. JD remained interested and engaged for the entire conversation. Oh...one more thing. My micro cassette recorder, standard for media at the time, wouldn't work. I was seated across from JD, fidgeting with the recorder, breaking a sweat. After what seemed like half of eternity went by, I looked at JD and said, "It's fixed!". I lied. It wasn't. But he didn't know it and I refused to let such an opportunity escape me. So our "interview" was nothing more than a twenty-four year old having a talk with a legend. Years later, after his death, I shared this story with his daughter. She thought it was hilarious. She was so appreciative of hearing kind words spoken about her father.

@garybuck5830

Sorry my friend. The members listed are correct. I am on 5 songs, recorded 'live'. Bill Baize recorded the others in the studio. I left The Stamps for The Four Guys on the Grand Ole Opry between the time we recorded and the 'live' album was released. If you listen to the entire album the difference in tenors is obvious.

I don't believe in Religion, I don't like Christianity, it makes me feel weird inside, and all those people who preach annoy me; I'm a man who thinks for himself, believes his own thoughts, and doesn't allow others to rule my own. But this, is great, I don't care what Religious belief it's about, it's a great Song. I thought it was Rhythm and Blues at first.

@Irish00

It's kinda sad how Tim Storms makes JD sound like a child

@TheMadMusicMan

7y↑16

That is extremely inaccurate. Timmy is, at best, a low baritone, who uses fry for every bass note he attempts to "hit." J. D. only used fry when he was trying to reach notes below D1 or so. Tim storms can try to hide behind his condensers, bass accentuation, treble attenuation, and loads of compression, but he'll never be a true bass vocalist. Listen to him speak, and you'll know that he's perhaps the biggest fraud in the industry. There is so much more to bass singing that producing a given pitch; timbre, volume, and stability must be considered.

@Vanerov

@TheMadMusicMan JD never used fry, he doesn't even know what the technique even is.

@TheMadMusicMan

@Rodeo Rodeo He referred to the technique as "a growl." His C1 in Blessed Assurance was undeniably fry. But, his C1 in Way Down and You'll Never Walk Alone, were done in full voice. J. D. remains the king of bass singers.

Sorry my friend. The actual live recording,on stage, was Gary Buck. Gary left to join The Four Guys on The OPRY, Bill Baize took my place and did tenor on 5 studio cuts. I am on the live version of this song. If you listen to the live album, there is a distinct difference in tenor vocals. Thanks

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

Is it it a full and pleasing sound that can be heard from 20 feet away? Or is it you thinking it sounds good because it's vibrating in your throat and not your chest? J.D. couldn't even go as low as he did in this video when he was younger. Young basso profundos aren't a thing. You have to mature into your voice and build some natural resonance and let me tell you, that doesn't happen before at least age 25-30ish. There's a reason all great bass singers are either elderly men or are the oldest in their group. Stop trying to hit anything below an A1 and actually use your range to it's fullest potential. Sorry to rant, there's just nothing more that pisses me off more than some 16 year old kid that thinks he can belt out a G0 better than J.D. fucking Sumner.

Check out Tim Storms and Jon McLemore on Lonesome Road. Tim does it a full step lower than JD did and this is no where near as low as he can go. Enjoy! I've Got To Walk That Lonesome Road

@TheMadMusicMan

7y↑7

Tim is using very unpleasant vocal fry, and the recording is actually two steps lower than the original. There is not an adjective strong enough to describe how terrible Storms and vocal fry sound; anyone with half an ear should be able to identify a true bass voice.

@gagemaker1959

7y↑4

+ TheMadMusicMan Fully agree. The hype and nonsense got started when a couple of low quality vids were posted by Storms fans along with his claim of 'record holder'. While the internet was inventing him the story grew legs. Regardless of Guinness involvement, the truth can't be explained away. Storms functional range is low baritone, shown through better recordings and clearly revealed by his attempt at choral work. He's not an oktavist or a profundo. Even with vocal fry he has not recorded anything beyond the reach of other singers or below piano range. Singers with true deep bass voices have exceed Storms modal range by more than an octave. Since this vid features Sumner I'll defend him here; to the guy giving a direct link to that poser (Storms), it's an abomination for which there is no excuse.
