There's no quartets like this today, love hearing these men sing.

I just enjoy this so much, I am dating myself, I guess, however true joy can be found in praising the Lord Jesus.

Individual mics, which was JD’s original idea-one of many-definitely enhanced his performance.

I remember the Blackwood Brothers from the late 40s when I was a little girl. The bass was Bill Lyles, baritone was R.W. Blackwood, lead was James Blackwood & tenor was Cat Freeman who was also Vestal Goodmans brother. I was around 5 or 6 the first time I saw them. At that time they lived in Shenandoah, IA & had a show on KMA Radio. I remenber sitting on R,W.'s lap & on Cat's. My grandma loved those guys & so did I. R.W. was so funny & James was his straight man. I remenber my grandmother being so devastated when R.W. & Bill died when their plane crashed. I still have some of their old records & a song book that was always on Grandma's piano.

Thanks for sharing that Bonnie. I thought that was great to hear your experience along with your grandma's concerning the Blackwood Brothers.

On re-watching, it appears that this is an edit from different times. JD's moustache is clear only on the last song. I apologize for the unkind tone and unnecessary smartypantsosity of my earlier post. This video is a stellar glimpse into our musical history and I'm greatful for that.

This is probably the same group that Elvis would have seen. This is a story that J.D. Sumner told himself. When the touring gospel singing groups would stop in Memphis, Elvis (Then a teenager) was always there usually sitting in the front row and J.D. noticed him and eventually they struck up a friendship. One time when they came through J.D. noticed that Elvis was not in attendance, and when they came the next time there was Elvis in the front row and J.D went up to Elvis and asked him, he said son I noticed you wasn't here the last time was anything wrong? Elvis tried to evade the question because he felt a little embarrassed but finally told J.D that he didn't have the money to get in at which point J.D. told Elvis, he said son anytime you don't have the money you come to the back door and ask for me and I will make sure you get in. J.D. said little did he know that just a few years later that he would be the one going to the back door asking Elvis to let him in. Elvis and J.D. Sumner were VERY close friends. Elvis also liked Jake Hess of the Statesmen Quartet who was his favorite singer. Evidently Elvis was a fan of the Jordanaires also, because when Elvis hit it big he approached the Jordanaires to be his backup singers to which they did for nine years. Elvis was a HUGE fan of gospel music, EVERY SINGLE group he had singing backup, The Jordanaires, The Imperials, J.D. Sumner & The Stamps and The Sweet Inspirations WERE ALL gospel groups.

Thanks for your response. But isn't Cecil the one on the far left? At least, I think it is.

@Hexmeyer 10 жыл бұрын

Cecil is second from right. Bill Shaw is on the far left.

@Hexmeyer 10 жыл бұрын

No, I'm positive Bill Shaw is on the far left. Shaw was lean and had a sort of drawn face and black hair. Cecil was of medium build with a very round face and light brown hair. Also, the quartet is lined up from, left-to-right, highest to lowest. Starting on the left, Shaw tenor; James Blackwood, lead; Cecil Blackwood, baritone: J.D. Sumner, bass. Virtually all quartets use that line-up pattern. Statler Brothers are a major exception.

@Eddie_Schantz 10 жыл бұрын

Natty Preme Thanks for your response. I compared this vid with a couple of others during the same era & you are right, Cecil is the 2nd from the right & Bill Shaw is on the far left. Also, I didn't know that quartets usually use the same part lineup left to right. Thanks again for your input.

@DrKJ4SCE 9 жыл бұрын

Natty Preme The Cathedral Quartet use to swap it up on occasion, lowest on left and highest on the right... However, generally speaking, you're right about most quartets lining up highest to lowest from far left to right.....

@MultiKamil97 6 жыл бұрын

Because notes at such low frequencies are usually quiet and not always a microphone can catch it. The closer to the microphone the louder these notes sound. Also take notice that he was very tall and in this video the microphone was too low for him. If he didn't kneel down he wouldn't be heard as high notes are much louder than low notes.
