Unfortunately, I think Ken’s voice has done the opposite of most bass singers and gotten higher as he got older because the clips from his youth(especially in chest voice) were a lot fuller sounding
It's actually quite common for voices to shift higher at very old age. Though basses tend to peak at around that 30 to 50 yrs age range, as they keep on getting older their voices actually higher and they lose range. This is due presbyphonia which is the degeneration of vocal cords, and due to this the cartilage become bone, so decreased flexibility. Larry Hooper was a good example of this
@@reubenthomas7907 True. When Larry Hooper was young he could sustain a powerful Bb1 but years before his death the lowest he could go was only decent D2.
I don’t understand how you find all of these lol 4:21 nice 7:56 😁 11:44 clean switch 13:36 didn’t expect this 15:05 wow 15:49 I can hear a switch to subharmonics 17:40 lil slip up the octave 21:22 damn
London and JD are two examples. Both of them love drinking as well as smoking. London died in his pretty early age(only 61 years old). Jd dies later at age of 74. The same condition apply to Paul Downing(who died in only 59 years old). So far, the bass singer who have the longest life-span is Thurl Ravenscroft, who died with age 91.
Another fantastic compilation. I would argue Ken was the first to master subharmonic. Personally I feel if one wants to go lower that fry is better if you do it right and sparingly. You can achieve lower notes and don't risk the voice switching back to the original note like you can hear in some of Ken's live singing. I wish you had put in the clip of the middle of "Just A Little Talk With Jesus: when he sings "And you will know" That is lower than the end and has much more clarity and is likely the lowest note one can hit in subharmonics.
excellent compillation! He not only nailed the notes, he could hold them with the same power for several seconds, he wouldn't just tag it and go to a higher note.
If i can hit a B1 does that mean im correctly using the subharmonic technique? Or can i naturally be that low? and so using subharmonic technique should bring me to B0?
If you are able to naturally hit B1, you can use subharmonics to hit B0. If you are unable to sing B1 without subharmonics, you cannot sing B0 using the subharmonics technique. Hope this helps
@@plutao9312 verdade no começo lá em 1968, Ken Turner e Jd Summer eram muito amigos só q Ken decidiu q não conseguiria atingir mais e graves e começou e treinar os subharmonicos, e com Jd começou a menosprezar ele dizendo q eram notas falsas ent nunca mais se falaram Mais o Ken ainda é meu preferido além de conseguir fazer o trombone com a boca
his lowest chest note is actually Bb1. the F1 is clearly subharmonic, the G1 is a C2 and the G#1 is the hardest to discern but the timbre on it sounds much more similar to his other subharmonic notes than it does his various chest Bb1s. he's also a baritone but i dont think this comment section is ready for that conversation yet lol
you're right about baritone, hes a lyric one. Also i think G#1 was really chest, i listened to it hundred times and it sounds still chest, he also did G#1 ( chest) in the song Roll On Jordan
That’s why his voice became higher when he is old. Other bass singers smoke and drink wines at the same time to maintain or even expand depth but this behavior will damage their body health( causing heart attack for etc.), and the resonance of their voices will also lose.
My voice is developing as well, I hit C#2 once, but I was sick and my voice was worn out. My natural range at the moment is more around Eb2 in the morning. Hoping it'll develop to get lower.
@@tommax1626 Well, progress is slow. I can now often hit a D2 in the morning. (using chest voice) subharmonics are really hard to do, and I cannot do them very well at all, but maybe I'll get more comfortable with it overtime.
Only Bb1 of chest... one of Weakest chest voices (from sgm basso profundos pattern) but the subharmonics are quite fine(if he is the best sgm bass who relies in subharmonics). Awesome.
I don't think he can be considered basso profundo. More like a lyric bass as he doesn't seem comfortable below C#2/C2. The range doesn't matter because there are singers like Josh Turner who can sustain A1 being a lyric bass-baritone. Ken's comfortable range is a few notes above basso profundo range.
Millennials: "How are we gonna do a dubstep bass drop without our computer!?"
Ken Turner: "Hold my soul..."

Qq
His slides into the subharmonic register are FLAWLESS. Even better than Geoff and Dan Mirabal's ! How the heck is that even possible !?
Because he practiced for over 35 years
no post processing either.
Thanks for the compilation, fantastic as always.
Facebook is a goldmine for these sorts of videos

He was/is low bass for sure. His B1 was super clean! I really like hearing those vintage recordings from the 70s? Earlier?
Maybe he's the first bass singer did master the subharmonic technique, just my opinion.
Probably so
It's an ancient technique, Russian Orthodox church octavists use it for centuries. Rachmaninov knew a man who could hit A0 consistently.
15:48 subharmonic. You can clearly hear him switching to subs.
it wasn't, I could hear the vocal cords
