I saw the statesmen in 1963 at a concert in san,bernardino,ca, and after the concert i got them to autograft there albums.they have always been my favorite. no wonder elvis love them
I always love this singing! Is it just me, or can you tell when a person is singin' with a smile? Cause I can see that smile on Jake Hess whenever I hear him singing!
This is a real quartet singing. Even with just a piano, they are all with each and not going off tempo. Some quartets seem to do now a days with just a piano

Now, which came first, the term " Rockk N Roll" for pop music, or this song? Big Chief was good looking and talented enough to be a secular singer in his day! He chose to honor God! I have been getting to know the Statesmen on CZcams!

Jake is as much fun to watch as he is to listen to. He sure loved his music, didn't he? I wonder if he ever felt left out without one of those classy thin moustaches like the others had.
Denver Crumpler replaced Cat Freeman, Vestal Goodman's brother, in the early 50s. He was with the Statesmen until 1957, when he died suddenly from diabetic shock misdiagnosed as a heart problem. Cat Freeman came back, and was an able tenor, but he liked to be the comic relief of the group. That wasn't what Nabisco signed up for, so they cancelled the sponsorship soon after. I believe about a year later Rosie Rosell signed on.

I won't turn back no more is the title....I won't turn back no more till I reach heaven's shore. My Lord is walking with me, I know he is talking with me, He said he'd hold my hand till I reached the promised land. etc...

I stand corrected - in this video Doy has no lip warmer. He did, however, have one in other videos leaving Jess with the only shiny lip. See 44KrrHvR2gY ("Where No One Stands Alone") also posted by our good friend Statesmenfan.
Amen, he's the best ever. The Statesmen are the reason I'm a Gospel music fan today. Hovie always kept the audience in the palm of his hand. Loved and miss them so much.
Still trying to copy Hovie! Showman but not pretense. Jake too! Have been listening steady since my husband passed 2 weeks ago. I asked him to please tell my lovies I am keeping on until I get to join them

I couldn't agree with you any more than I do. Mr. Denver Crumpler was an amazing tenor who was taken from us decades too soon. However, I've never really liked Rosie all that much. Denver always sounded more comfortable on the high notes.

I love the old gospel song performances. The Statesmen are one of the best groups...
i keep coming back to this video every few months for the last 10 years, still love it
This group was ahead of their time. It's amazing how many of their songs are still popular today. This was songwriting at its best.

This is just great, I love Big Chief, that's what can be called quality
...the Statesmen set the bar very high for everyone that has followed after...
Cutter & Ms C
I wish I was a little older to remember the Big Chief.
Me too
What a delightful ham Hovie was!!!
I always love this singing! Is it just me, or can you tell when a person is singin' with a smile? Cause I can see that smile on Jake Hess whenever I hear him singing!
My favorite lineup of the Statesmen
My co-favorite, tenor Rosie Rozell tied with Denver Crumpler singing here who died so young. Denver and Rosie a little different but equally great.
How are you doing today?
If this didn't start Rock n Roll before Elvis I don't know what did.
This is a real quartet singing. Even with just a piano, they are all with each and not going off tempo. Some quartets seem to do now a days with just a piano
you got to love the chief he was a great bass and agreat man i use to love and talk to him when they came to ST.LOUIS every month

Yes...they are very good.......I listen they's song every day........
0:57 that note!!!! Perfect pitch. Not 1 group today could come close to that
The Statesmen were the first Rock n Rollers!
I've been around music for years. Loved both tenors; they just had different styles.
CHIEF AT HIS BEST
Just watched Ernie H. and his early guys singing this. Love this one just as much.
Me too. I love those old songs and those old quartet style
Hovie was a hoot!

Jake is as much fun to watch as he is to listen to. He sure loved his music, didn't he? I wonder if he ever felt left out without one of those classy thin moustaches like the others had.
Thanks.. I've been looking for this for a long time.
Beyond the Gates
Fantastic beautiful singing
thank you, that is one of my favorite songs!!! wish jake sang the second verse by himself tho!
Denver Crumptler, Jake Hess, Doy Ott, Big Chief Wetherington, Hovie Lister on piano.
Denver Crumpler*
Crumpler is the best tenor. As much as I liked Rosie, Crumpler just couldn't be beat.
Hovie Min 0:51 AHAHHAHAHA.... Love him
+CaptMoo Hovie Lister é muito carismático!!
Big Chief looks like the "white" Cab Calloway.
Excellent comparison.
Joe Kelly
Thanks.

Howdy All ; Thanks for the great info......::)
I would have thought a 19 year old Metallica fan would also appreciate this!
I'm not sure why all the Tenor comparisons on this song, it is CLEARLY the Big Chief's song, not Denver's nor Rosie's!!!

Code...Denver was the original Tenor with the Statesmen, not sure how long he sang with them.
there's no doug young in this video.... just hovie lister/ denver crumpler / jake hess/ doy ott/big chief jim weatherington
@LABOURSUPPORTER Hard to judge because of the difference in the time periods and stylings. But Big Chief OWNED this bass part.

For many years.
How are you doing today?
great, Dixie Melody Boys have an equal version featuring ED Oneal it takes a legend to match a legend
@LABOURSUPPORTER I wont turn back is the name of the song.

you can understand every word cheif sings and hovie could flat play that piano

Chief could annunciate it sounds like a minor thing but it actually is a big deal especially for a gospel singer whose words convey a gospel message

Thanks Zag.....Did he sing long with the Statesmen or just fill in . I dont think I ever heard of him.

Could you post the song that starts at the end?
What is the song that they started singing at the end?
Can anyone tell me?
Is there any footage w/Cat Freeman and/or Bobby Strickland.(just curious)

what is the name of this song they sing at the end?
I don't think George Younce ruined the Cathedrals when he did this song.
Who's the Statesman on the extreme left ?
Where did I get "Jess"?? Umm... would ya believe Jake Hess? Sorry 'bout the bad typo!
Nothing so original than the old style quartet. Their hair and mustache are not imitable.
Anyone know what the name of the song this leads to on the clip. I know I've herd it before, but can't remember the name.
