My uncle Evert Sheble sang bass for them in the late 30's and early 40's I would love to get a record of him singing He was the bass singer He died before he was 30 from Cancer
The two men on the right. R.W. Blackwood, singing baritone, James' nephew and Bill Lyle , the bass singer. R.W. was replaced by his brother Cecil Blackwood. Bill Lyle was replaced by J.D. Sumner.Thanks for your interest. I remember the day that we got the news of the crash in Clanton, AL. I shall always remember that day.
@@yeshualionofjudah7107 ...I sincerely hope Edwin will answer...what a great contribution he made giving us the Blackwoods in what might be the best quality I've seen on You Tube for the 1950's.

The crash Bill & R.W. died in was in June 1954. This is a great video. I have it on a vhs tape which I recorded from a special about the history of gospel music. In this video, who is the singer on the far left?
Eddie Schantz Bill Shaw was the tenor the bass singer Bill Lyles was the one who died in the crash along with R.W blackwood. that's why Cecil blackwood and JD Sumner joined
Matthew; Thanks for your correction. I knew better than that when I posted it. It was Bill Lyles andR.W. that died in the crash. I must have been half asleep when I posted that.
nyko461: Killed in the crash were both men on the right, R W Blackwood, baritone, replaced by his brother Cecil Blackwood, and Bill Lyle, Bass, replaced by J D Sumner.
Yes RW and Bill were pilots and flew their plane to concerts.. that night they were to sing with the Statesmen Bill and RW along with a friend took the plane up for a test run or something to that effect (you can find James Blackwood talk about it ua-cam.com/video/qxmS97gBMh0/v-deo.html anyway something went wrong the plane stalled and they crashed killing all three... Jake Hess had to hold James back from going into the fire.. horrible.
Can you point out where in the Bible it says to dress up in order to go to Church? You can dress a pig and it's still a pig. You can dress a sinner and it's still a sinner. My point is this, just look decent when attending and I don't think God cares how you look.
@@jerrybutler605I wasn't saying that men are Biblically required to wear suits to church. I was pointing out how different the social conventions are between now and then. We could stretch the point further. How would you react if your preacher decided to preach while he were wearing PJs? Does the Bible forbid that?
"Mr. Gospel" James Blackwood was so great. No one better IMO.
Rest in peace R. W. Blackwood and Bill Lyles. Both were very good singers.
My uncle Evert Sheble sang bass for them in the late 30's and early 40's
I would love to get a record of him singing
He was the bass singer
He died before he was 30 from Cancer
That’s gone too soon for sure. My great Uncle sang bass for them too Bill Lyles
I grew up listening to the Blackwood Brothers. Loved them! One time they came to my church in California. It was wonderful!!
After years of this song being a legend between my friends we finally found it and I finally get some closure
It doesn't get any better!
I never knew I could get these guys from you. Just FANTASTIC GROUP and message.
Love this beautiful gospel song 🎶🙌🙌🙌🙌
Wow, what quality blend + recording!
Definitely had an influence on the Statler Brothers.
That would mean the Bass singer be Bill Lyles ...John Sumner joined in 1954 , after the crash , and continued through 1998 ( d. 16 Nov. )

One of those days that you remember forever...heartbreaking, I cried and cried.

The high Tenor is Dan Huskey. He had a high range but you will admit that he was no Shaun Neilson but nobody is.
I am as good. No brag, just fact.
It was Bill Shaw that died in the crash along with R.W.
Eddie Schantz Bill Shaw was the tenor the bass singer Bill Lyles was the one who died in the crash along with R.W blackwood. that's why Cecil blackwood and JD Sumner joined

Remember those days when Men wore suits to church?
Knott Reel And women wore knee length or lower skirts with stockings.
that is always the attire worn at Independent Fundamental Baptist Church’s.
I do not miss that!

Who's the bass singer here? He's built like J.D. Sumner, but doesn't look like him.
Bill Lyles
