While perhaps not the lowest, George Younce will forever be one of my favorites.

I once stood shoulder to shoulder with George Younce on stage, and I can attest that he needed no mic to hit those notes. I played many times for London Parris, he was a beast. But the undisputed, most amazing was Leroy Abernathy. He taught many of these great bass singers. I sat beside him on a piano stool and heard him clearly, in perfect intonation, hit the lowest note on the piano keyboard, effortlessly. And LOUD!

My all-time favorite bass singer is George Younce. He wasn't just low, his voice was smooth and had a lot of warmth. Plus he was a real gentleman.

What’s amazing is that when the human voice gets down that low in the register the vocal cords are moving so slowly it starts to sound like a big cat growl!

I wondered how many time I would see J.D Sumner on here lol. That man shook the floor

J.D.Sumners is simply the best bass singer ever !! No one can touch him !! lol

you: “sorry for any mistakes” also you: *makes no mistakes* in all seriousness, this is not only amazing, but this is probably the first accurate low note vid i have seen!! good stuff!

Naming some because I don’t know all. 0:00 Dry bones -signature sound 4:42 I know he heard my prayer - Kings Harold’s 6:59 ( the no audio one)Gods building a church - Gold City 6:46 Beautiful Home - Kingsmen quartet 4:34 I know what lies ahead-Oak ridge boys 9:37 Rainbow of love crystal river boys 7:28 Where’s John Kings Heralds 9:48 I’m working on a building - Oak ridge boys 11:38 just a little talk with Jesus makes it right - Ken turner 12:44 You sure do need him now - Nic Val 1:12 On the Jericho road - London Parris 1:28 Lonesome Road 3:12 winging my way back home- legacy five 4:03 Heavenly Parade Signature Sound 8:58 the Lord’s Prayer Christian Davis 6:01 Carol of the bells 2:31 Long black train Eric Bennett 7:41 Blessed Assurance Brian free and assurance 0:40 After awhile

The difference, I believe, is that many can hit a low note...but JD could carry a melody in that low range and stay there. Few are the bass singers that can get in and stay in the lowest of range and sing and stay in tune.... JD seems to be the standard for comparison...

Raydeen Reece of the Kingnmen and JD Sumner of the Stamps Quartet and George Younce of the Cathedrals are my lifetime favorites.

So many impressive singers but honestly I’m ALWAYS blown away by Ken Turner and Steve Cross. Also I didn’t know until recently quite how low Kreis is capable of.

It was 1985 at the National Quartet Convention in Nashville, I was back stage and They just gave George Younce , Bass Singer of the year. As George leaves the stage he walks past JD, JD says how did you win that again ???? George says, JD, every time you sing you sound like your burping... The whole room we were all in busted out... True Story !

I agree that JD Summer and George Yount are my favorite.

that third b1 was amazing, b1 is one of my favorite notes to hear someone sing and that legendary man just solidified my opinion

How we praise the Lord for creating voices in all ranges, especially the bass voice! Thanks for this compilation --it's wonderful!

I’ve always loved Tim Duncan since I heard him at our church with Masters Voice

2:59 the smoothest chest note I have ever Heard

12:22 He sounds like a giant castle door made of iron that just closed. That's insane

Steve Cross B Flat 0 was so perfect

@mattfouch is an exceptional bass singer and doesn’t necessarily get the recognition he deserves. He’s a really good bass singer, but an even better man.

Thanks for that video man! I just found out I'm a C2-bass singer! In the morning or when fasting I can reach as low as B1, but that's it. Thanks for this uploading Cole Fountain!

the second bass is so nice, i love the soft bass style

Love George Younce!! My favorite will always be JD Sumner!

J.D.Sumner and George Younce...when I saw the title gospel bass singers I wanted to see if they're in video...and that guy from Ernie Haase band...but I saw them...awesome singers all of them

That last clip was INSANE WHAT

Richard Sterben, Armond Morales, and the bass singer for Gold City are my favorites.

Tim Riley and Christian Davis. 2 of my favorite bass singers in southern gospel

Home Free...sings gospel, country, everything n has a great bass singer

Tim Riley is my all-time favorite. Sterban is probably next in line for me.

Hitting it and holding it is much more impressive than touching it for a split second.

That's very very very very nice love it (and love the Bb0 xD)

To quote Elvis .. " somebody stop jd .. he's breaking the speaker phone .. stop him "" hahaha

J.D. at 1:56 - Christmas Carol of Love 6:37 - Christmas Carol of Love 9:56 - Turn your radio on (Bill Gather) 10:11 - Wayfaring Stranger 12:01 - Walk that Lonesome Road (The Masters V) 12:10 - Way Down ( Joseph Anthony)

2:00, 6:40, 9:58, 10:15, 12:03, 12:14, ... JD Sumner great compilation, but JD is the Master. He got me into bass playing and singing ... though I'll never match his octave, I appreciate his steady tone and control throughout. Never sounds like a bullfrog unless he has sinus congestion. ;) nice vid.

Bass singers always calm me!

Bass sends chills down the spine

Pls work this time lol. But once again, London Paris is my favorite. Resonance down to G#-G1

that last one is insane

When the lady said "Oh My God" how cute.

The very first man that came up on the screen got his start in Texas. I was at a small church there for a gospel singing and the quartet he was performing with did their numbers and he hit keys so deep he made the walls of the building rattle. The folks got so excited hearing him they shouted.

Richard Sterban, JD Sumner, Nic Val my favorite and Herold Ried

These dudes sound like some ginormous organ pipes, good LORD

What a amazing compilation!!! Very happy for seeing a brazillian, Junior Trovao, on the video!!!

That c1 jd did in 12:15 literally has no fry in it. How is this humanly possible. Its so clear .

The Vintage Gospel Lads, Ron was incredible

George Yancey Harold Reed and J.D Sumner are my favorite Bass Singers as well as My Grandfather who could sing 🎤 Bass

my late husband was a bass man he adored J.D.

I don't see Armond Morales (Imperials) in the video or comments. He was known as the smoothest bass singer, so maybe not that low - but I don't know. (Still the best IMO)

Tim Riley's A1 Was Beastly. That Is So Hard To Do.

Tim Riley will always be #1 for me

Didn’t realise how many views this got. Congrats!

My Grandfather passed away in 2005 he will always will be missed

I can’t stumoch signature sound with all that show off entertaining.

Even the c2 just. Wow Gene McDonald is insane

The lowest Bass singer lives in Southern Illinois. I can't think of his name right now. He holds the record . Lot of the groups won't let him on because they are jealous of him.

True,with JD.

God bless them it's really hard to keep up.

Tim Duncan, George Younce, JD Sumner Especially❤

The young guy who used to sing with Dailey and Vincent (with the crazy hair) was the best I ever heard. I THINK he might have been pictured here, but didn't get any name recognition. I would have recognized his name if I saw it.

I will never be able to figure out why Tim Storms is considered a bass singer. He literally whispers

Uau !!!!!! Lindos, maravilhosos

Amazing voices!

4:23 heaviest bass ive ever heard

Tim Storms (the bald guy in this video) is the current (as of April 2021) world record holder for lowest bass note ever sung.

A1 is soprano for JD

it will be better if you add gene mcdonald's lonesome road but i always learn new things from your videos. For ex: Tim Duncan F#1 Jeff Champan C#1

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am a bit disappointed that this video featured very little from George Younce, and nothing at all from Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers.

Obviously you should have mentioned their names and probably the songs that they were singing....😜......yeah, right?

9:26 was way too jazzy gawd dayum

JD Sumner was the standard ,,the iconic bass voice,,Jeff Chapman formerly with Kingdom Heirs is a tremendous bass singer,,George Younce,Tim Duncan,Paul Harkey,,,,,

the kind of the bass singers is george younce!!! he didn't just burp and make noise like some folks do

To me, back 15 or 20 years ago, Richard Sterban was hands the best....

J. D. Summers quietly shook the ground 😎😎😎

William Bobo was the heaviest and the fullest basser known to man! You should've added him!

George Younce, my favorite, but love Matt Fouch! Richard Steban, and Gene MC Donald!!!! 😍

Oh good Well shit I wanted to be the first to use Steve cross’ Bb0 It is very annoying that you’ve used a bunch of clips I wanted to use for the first time haha but neat video

The sounds scares the demons (dems) away

JD Sumner my fav he can go low low

The B1 is the perfect metal note

Richard Sterban/Tim Duncan!

Tim Foust, Home Free. Your welcome

Harold Gilley reached a Bb0 in Way Down

Tim Riley is my favorite.

8:55

12:59 - The most impressive part of this is that he comes right in on it and is perfectly on pitch. He doesn't slide down to the low Bb or even jump down from the octave above. That's a crazy level of control.

SOMEONE MAKE A LIST OF THESE PEOPLE

At 2:07 The late JD SUMNER.

Bom ver um baixo brasileiro

Sweet

B1 is soprano for JD!

It would have been nice to identify these bass singers.

That’s the issue I have with Southern Gospel music. It’s like a technical competition of how low or how high you can sing.

Please tell me I’m not the only person that think Tim Duncan and Christian Davis look similar for some reason

Jd sumner was a great singer❤

Tim is the BEST!!

I Truly feel that showing just how low you can get or high with your voice takes away from the song. Also when they play around while singing a gospel song is inappropriate. It’s a of worship not a comedy show. For example a group is singing amazing grace. Well during the song they start kidding around and laughing while singing.

Bradley Walker ain't too shabby, either.

Can you send the Steve Cross Bb0

Excellent collection. Except that Richard Sterban is NOT a "Gospel" singer.
