JD was a unique, never-to-be duplicated gem. I studied bass voice with him twice at the Stamps School of Music while it was in Waxahatchie. Don't let anyone try to confuse you by telling you that someone"s" else"s" was/were the lowest bass voice in the world. I'm a retired voice teacher; I know voices. He's the real thing. RIP, JD!
Nothing against Tim Storms. He's very talented and has a beautiful voice. It's just that there's a dispairity between the guys who were out there night after night hitting it because it was there and the guys today who have a lot of electronic media to help them. So, no disrespect to Tim Storms was intended; I'm sure he'll get to that place too!
saunieh lol Tim Storms likes to think he can sing 2 octaves lower than J.D. due to what I call his “invisible notes” or his self proclaimed ability to sing so low it’s inaudible to the human ear (so how does he know he can sing it if he can’t hear it???) Anyways, J.D. sang 100% from his seemingly endless chest cavity and Storms is 100% fry.
Saw him countless times as a kid. I was terrified to go to the bathroom during their set for fear he’d stop everything and call me out 😂. Saw it happen in the middle of songs many times.
Hello from England ELVIS died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I have been a FAN ever since Have you heard the saying "WHAT GOES AROUND COME AROUND" Vinyl is perhaps more popular now than 30 + year ago I have started to collect it again with 9 ELVIS albums bought at local charity shops and antique shops local to where i live. Its so wonderful to see JD just 10 year after Elvis died still touring and singing with that RICH VOICE OF HIS I have watched lots of videos about ELVIS and JD and The Stamps and some make me feel 😊😊and some make me CRY 😢😢😢
By the title I thought by 'record pitch' you meant he was going to hit the low note of all low notes, for a record low pitch. I kept waiting for it. Then I saw I misunderstood the title.
Ol' J. D. would pull your leg quicker 'n scat! He picked on George Younce, too, by telling him that he was the best Bass singer that he'd never heard! George figured it out, eventually, that J. D. was having a little bit of fun at George's expense! J. D. and George were very close friends to the end!
Ronald Shank lol JD and George loved to hate each other or hated to love each other, however you wanna look at it. You should look up “JD Sumner George Younce Comedy” It’s like a 5 minute long video of them razzin each other.
Ronald Shank I don’t know if this is the same story you’re referring to or a different one but I think George Younce told JD “there ain’t nobody I had(n’t) rather hear sing than you.” This almost pushed JD to tears, he said. To think Ole Georgey thought that highly of him but he didn’t get the joke. So George told him again the next day, “JD, there ain’t nobody I hadn’t rather hear sing than you.” JD still didn’t catch it so George told him the next day. JD caught it and I think probably almost socked George right in the mouth or somethin lol. Those two were best of friends.
+john tabler Certainly was entertaining. I saw this same sales pitch at one of the Masters Five concerts. JD could have easily made it as a stand up comedian.
lol he sure is funny ya he doesnt listen to music hes sick & tired listening to himself after 90 mins priceless & has to go to washroom at the end lol loved this :)
