- It's been my desire for a long time to pay a tribute to the Barbershop Gospel Quartets that I grew up listening to and that vastly influenced my music. From the Golden Gate Quartet to the Jubalaires and even lesser known bands like the Dixieraires, they brought the Negro Spirituals out of the confines of the sweat and tears of the cotton fields, to make it a music of harmony and jubilation. I hope you enjoy, this is only a start! :-)
Guitar and vocals: JR
What a God given gift !! Thank you for glorifying the Lord !!
The Golden Gate Quartet are my favourites too. You have a great voice and hearing you really took me back. Thank you for a superb performance. God bless you! Please do more.
I really wish there was more than one of you! You're a source of inspiration and one of my favorite people in the world!
Hi JR :) Wow! I'm always amazed when I come and listen to you...this one just left me with the happiest feeling. You just sang me 'pure joy', my friend...straight up, you are outrageously good! Oh, and you look so happy...good for that, too!

Thank you JR for your barbershop quartet performance of The Golden Gate Quartet's song "Elijah". You're so talented!
I showcased this video on my cultural blog pancocojams along with my transcription of this song (Additions and corrections are welcome). Here's that link and post title:

Coming Soom !!
Merci RP!! :-)
OMG! i'm just dancing like an insane right here in my chair! This sounds so amazing that i can't explain because my english sux near your awesomeness! Thank you!
Muito obrigado Ana! :-)
Sounds good bro!
Parfait, comme d'hab.
Merci!! :-)
Pas de probleme, Charlie! :-)
Your English is fine! I recorded all four voices successively with a Zoom H4n, and I indeed use headphones as I add each voice after the lead to sync the additional voices! Then, I play the song on speakers during the video recording and sing each voice again (this is why I don't wear any headphones on the video). I finally sync the video with the original high quality recording using Sony Vegas Movie Studio...et voila! :-) I hope that answers your question!
nice!
Thank you!!! :-)
Thanks a lot!!! :-)
❤
Great my friend...abraço
I have a muge man-crush on you JR
Love your blues stuff, but this was really cool, thanks. Do you every tour with your music?
How the hell did it take me 7 years to find this
The internet is a small, yet vast place! 😊
@@JRElla better now than never right?
nice work man!!! shared on my fb!!!!!
How could you record it without headphones, i mean, without listening the parallel tracks?? sorry for my english!!! :)
Thanks!!! Alas, no. My double life won't allow me to...yet! :-)
Good enough to turn religious.
So, just how much talent do you have? Your timing is on it! How long did this take to record/edit?
Thanks Shelley! :-) Let's just say it took a little bit of time. Glad you like it.
If you do hit the road sometime how far is Chattanooga Tn from you? How about a CD, do you have any for sale?
What microphone do you use?
I use a Zoom H4n. I think there might be a newer model by now, but it's pretty good
signal
Fantastic!
