I really must congratulate you on this video. You've managed to find some excellent singers who I've never heard before and I've seen an enormous amount of these videos. Paul Downing and Larry Hooper are among the most impressive ones. Thank you very much.
I agree. You don't see Paul Downing, or Larry Hooper on many videos like this. They were both great, quality, bass singers, but were a bit unsung, so to speak, compared to the basses of the big name quartets. The Downings were known, but not hugely popular, and Hooper was on Lawrence Welk, and I don't think he did much southern Gospel quartet stuff.
It surprised me, how many of these bass singers were a little bit sharp on the Bb below Low C, and some on the Low C. Most had the range; they just missed the pitch that little bit.
correction: 10:00 A1 then Bb1
Actually G#1-Bb1
Singing as low as you can has always been in the culture of Southern Gospel Bass singers, it's what the crowd wants to hear.
Lots of these still have vibrato on the lowest notes, which is likely the most impressive part to me!
Great video! Singing low with volume and resonance is even more impressive than just how low one can sing imo
Resonance >>>> how low you can go
Yes
Resonance=full chest.
Sound Quality >>>> everything else
22:43 wow Big Chief was a beast 😭 that was a Beefy G1 in chest 🤯
Thank you so much for these people that I never saw before! They are beautiful
I wish people would be satisfied with just singing so beautifully and not trying to go so low that they are killing their vocal
They're not forcing so it doesn't break their vocal chords
@@gaffayu4395 I think he's talking about all the people who don't have super low voices: not these bass singers and profundos.
@@hypercubemaster2729 ah ok
Says the one who's doing exactly the opposite 😂

Nice to hear Fulton Nash and Brian Himmel. I think I've never heard them before. Nash quite remmembers me of Morales.
Awesome
Bb1 is easily my favorite note to hear
17:29 awesome
8:10 this man sounds exactly like london parris
Is there a full clip of mike Allen doing beautiful life
Sometimes I think Ken Turner and Matt spriggs are around the same level, the level of control
Nope not even close Matt has a lowest chest note down to E1 kens was a Bb1
@@SouthPawBowler24 Matt down to F1, and Ken down to G#1
That's not Big Chief at 22:38
i think that's one of the Utec boys
No one hits the "G1" better than Tim Riley!!!
london parris
Or Glenn Miller
I think Geoff Castellucci has a particularly pretty G1 (captions are amusing in this video...): czcams.com/video/x3gkL3hoTWY/video.html
