Mark Lowry’s greatest one-liner ever at 2:44 to the organist, “he’s waaaaaaay to white for that!” It’s true what they say about the good old days, you don’t realize you’re in them until you’re looking back on them. What I wouldn’t give to have been at one of these sessions!
Strange the way the world works , a regular truck driver came to our work today , he mentioned his father was a huge fan of JD . Had to look it up . Beautiful music . So happy I came upon this .
We'll Soon Be Done (with troubles and trials) and When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart are two more great songs Rev Cleavant Derricks wrote in addition to Just A Little Talk. This inspired humble black preacher brought joy to many. Destroys all biased baggage some still carry if you listen. No white or black heaven, just heaven.
Is he still joining in the Gaither Homecoming Specials? I'm from Singapore and Chinese. Though trained as a minister at Rhema Bible Training Centre in Singapore. I only came across all these wonderful southern gospel songs in 2010 and realised where all my Sunday School Songs came from. I'm so sick and tired of the songs being written nowadays. They are not biblical, not scriptural, not in line with doctrine, a repetition of the same phrases and it's the same style of music... I really want to bring back/introduce these old hymns, American gospel music to South East and East Asia. I truly think Americans and English wrote most of the best hymns and Christian songs.
Larry is my 2nd cousin (my dad and his dad were first cousins). He is 6 years older than me. We used to live in the same town in west Texas and he would come over to our house sometimes and we would sing together. This was in 1967 - 68. Wish I would've kept up with him and my singing. O well...
Jd sumner does something to my soul.Growing up my Father was a hardened person.He had a fowl mouth and was very brash.He being a ex marine and involved in law enforcement should give you an idea of his roughness.But...What gets me the most I caught him watching the Gaithers on tv.And for some reason Jd Sumner and his singing and talking about Christ humbled my father.In January of 2008 my parents went to myrtle beach on a few day getaway.My father wasnt a god fearing man when he went on that getaway.But one morning he awoke from the hotel where they stayed and he walked out to the balcony only to see in big bold numbers etched in the sand on the beach right in front of him .....JOHN 3:16....My father came home from that getaway a godly man.My father passed away two months later on March 15th 2008..I was 29 years old when he died and the last couple months of his life was the best couple months of mine.There is a God.And buried before me lays the remains of a God fearing man.That gave his life to Christ..
Now Imagine how much more glorious it will be in heaven when we get to sit in the midst of all the Saints and in front of God's throne with Jesus! And in our new bodies! Oh what a day that will be! So much love and joy praise God!!!
The black preacher who wrote the song (Rev. Clevant Derrick, TN) would have enjoyed hearing this group! I will return to Jackson, TN for my 60th reunion at Lane College in a few months. Rev. Derrick was pastor of MACEDONIA BAPTIST which was located on Lane Ave. - when I was a student. I was minister of music in 1969. HYMNS with Ebony Flare
Some of us Christian’s have been getting our ass kicked lately its hard to be cheerful when your trampled under foot out of work for 4 years crashed your car bought a new one it died then were locked in asylum for 5 months let loose to be homeless for 7 months shot at almost stabbed and found a new job finally only to fail the required test maybe cheer is for people the lord doesn’t love as much because me and him have had a heck of a walk and it’s not over yet
Greatful for a black preacher, Reverent Cleavant Derricks, who with inspiration penned this song. Coming from 2 small churches with great piano players this was a happy praise song. Budding sopranos, blending altos and baritones and especially wannabe bass singers all enjoyed this music and never had to be told to "sing louder". Reverend Derricks died long ago but is in just the beginning of eternity to sing this song down the streets of glory.Looking foward to singing it with him and the throngs.
When we look into the Bible, we find the word "reverend" refers only to God Himself, and not once is it applied to a man. The lone instance of the word, found in Psalm 111:9 in the King James version, says: "He [God] sent redemption unto His people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever: holy and reverend is His name." God alone has a name worthy of reverence. No man, including any minister, has a name worthy of such respect or worship. The use of religious titles, such as "Reverend," began when the great apostasy set in at the close of the first century. Ministers put themselves "in the place of" Christ (the meaning of vicar), taking upon themselves the attributes and titles of divinity. God's true ministers have never done so.
@@mimi79557 well in their defence the one guy up laughing and ran over to the organ said that JD was way to white for that. It's all in fun,, I'm sure it's not a jab at any race. Whomever that are saved are all going to the same heaven. God bless
I have watched this clip dozens of times and just noticed, at 3:13 he starts cracking up at his own self! So beautiful a time had by all and I’m so glad the cameras caught it!
I met JD at a small outdoor concert in the early 90's, I always loved his dry sense of humor, he was a character and one of the most genuine and sweetest people I ever met.
this may be an old Gaither post but I am laughing and rejoicing and clapping here at work with my earplugs in and just glad to have the grace and blessings from our Lord Jesus.. love this beautiful heart filled music!! It is so sad that some of these wonderful artist have gone on to sing in God's choir. ..but, we will all sing there oneday!!
Aussie here too. There’s not enough of this music. My church began churning out Hillsong crap so I left. I’ve been a Christian since I was 7, I’m now 43. I had a heart attack 2 days ago and died 5 times. I didn’t see Jesus, there was no tunnel of light, there was a paramedic breaking all my ribs on the floor in my lounge room shouting my name and slapping my face.
@@JesusisJesus Hey Brother, praying for you and a fast recovery. you're comment had me in stitches regarding the hillsong stuff as well. I have been a christian since the late 80s and by the sovereign grace of the Lord I too have had a 30 year struggle with the cow pat style music being sold to this generation, but have found solace in reaching back into the past library of music to re-discover some real solid non-self centered Christ based music to worship God too. Brother you are not alone in this world their is many other saints struggling with the same issue and we need to reach out and support each other during this very tough time. I highly recommend listening to Pastor John MacArthur of Grace to you church and his teaching of the bible verse by verse (minus the Hillsong narcissistic style preaching). www.gty.org/ once again dear Brother Grace and Blessing from Queensland and I pray the Lord takes you through the toughest times and comforts your spirit with only the Grace that God can do regardless of the turmoils.
There will never be another JD. The power the depth and the love he had for his God. And the love for his fans. Such a great man. I met him one time and I just remember how kind he was. He seemed to be more interested in me and where I was from. He liked to know his fans.
Man I do so miss the tent revivals and the Ole fashioned singing What has happened to the Churches now?? I need that kind of preaching again where time is not limited
Those days are over, we now live in a total satanic world, and he has infiltrated the church, which is why we now have gay pastors and stuff like that. Just like Jesus said would happen in the last days
I am organist. People have their opinion. God blessed me to play it for his glory. I always loved to watch the Gaithers. JD is one of the best bass singers I have ever heard. I would have loved to play on some of their recordings. Maybe not when JD was their. LOL> I enjoy good gospel music.
Simply amazing. What a beautiful thing to hear the magnificent voice of J.D. Summer and her wonderful super bass make this song even brighter. One day I want to sing along with them and everyone who loves and has gone before me.
spent a lot of time listening to the Gaithers. What a blessing for us that have watched them all of our lives. 53yrs and still going strong!!!! God Bless each and every one of them. JD Sumner is amazing
David, Go to search box and type in "JD Sumner Testimony", Listen to his remarks and see how far he has come. He was a very angry man before his conversion to Christianity, I think the Sumner clan was a hard place to grow up. Praise God he got saved!
DJ is a legend.I've never heard a bass singer like him.He is having a fun time praising Jesus..hope he met Elvis and that they're having a ball in heaven
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in And then a little light from Heaven filled my soul He bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole Now let us have a little talk with Jesus Let us tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry and we will answer by and by Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning You'll know a little fire is burning You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night Oh, I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care And just a little talk with Jesus gonna makes it right Now let us have a little talk with Jesus Let us tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry and we will answer by and by Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning You'll know a little fire is burning You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right Now let us have a little talk with Jesus Let us tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry and we will answer by and by Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning Then you'll know a little fire is burning You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
JD, has been my mentor formy entire life. I have been able to emulate JD for many years. Unfortunitely, the quartette i was in, desolved, and i miss copying JD in our mission to provide the Word of God to all those who would listen.Unfortunitely we were Canada only
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in Well then a little light from heaven healed my soul Well, he bathed my heart in love, and wrote my name above Well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna it right We'll just have a little talk with Jesus We're gonna tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our fainted cry He will answer by and by Oh well, when you feel a little prayer wheel turning And you will know a little fire is burnin' You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right You may have doubts and fears Your eye be filled with tears Oh well my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night Well he wrote my name above, and he bathed my heart in love Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna make it right Let us have a little talk with my Jesus Please let us tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry He will answer by and by Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning You'll know just a little fire is burnin' And have a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right Well you may have doubts and fears Your eye be filled with tears Oh well now my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night Well you go to Him in prayer He answers my every prayer Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right Now let us have a little talk with my Jesus Tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry And I know he's gonna answer by and by Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning You'll know a little fire is burnin' And have a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right
Joy unspeakable! Lord Jesus christ, we deserve this kind of fellowship as a family of christ. See how the elderly are comforted with great faith through praising. Thank you Jesus Christ!
One of the best bass singers of all time along with George Younce. I still have this on vhs from my granny 🤣🤣🤣 funny part about this you know J.D. wanted to curse 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But in his later years JD "got right". We are all just humans with flaws and misguided ways. Everyone has overt or covert failures. Thankfully we have a God who knows and forgives when we ask and turn away from as best we can. NO MAN is fit to judge another's heart.
@andresamuel5223 the organist played too loudly over JD's part in the song, so he got irritated and glared at them. It was not a tense moment, and all had a good sense of humor about it.
For all those wondering about why they laughed so hard at 2:25, the organ player did a major key change, utilizing the fifth of the fifth (D major) as a passing tonic, which distracted J. D. Summer from his tuning. It is something utilized in gospel music and that's why Mark told him "He's waaaaaaaaay too white for that".
I wouldn't call it a key change. To me, it sounded like they were in C, (playing the one) when the organist went to D, the 2 (or the fifth of G) and went chromatically down to B (the third of the G major chord). Basically, a ii-V progression that would eventually resolve to the I. But what do I know, I'm only a bass player.
@@keithliggins8545 you're absolutely right, it wasn't a key change, just a chromatism down-scale very used in blues and gospel songs, it is mostly done when coming from the root to the dominant, known as the II-V-I scale
God bless the person for posting this video cuz it shows one of the final times you got to see JD Sumner one of the greatest baritone singers of all time
There is not a single doubt about the richness of J.D. Summer's bass voice! I wish so deeply that all religious people would sing spiritual songs without mechanical instruments of music. God's word teaches us to sing and make melody in our hearts. God's way is the only perfect and right way. (Acts 16:25; Romans 15:9; 1 Corinthians 14:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16-17)
Kathy, I always think when I hear him sing, that the whales in the deep must hear and try to rejoice with us! As they and all creation surely will on that Glorious morning of our Savior's return, let HEAVEN and Nature sing! Hallelujah!!
In the mid-1960s, a student brought a record into the science club at Jamaica High School(Jamaica, Queens, NYC) which included J.D. Sumner. The other members were astonished and the question arose as to how low Sumner's voice could go. So they attached a microphone and some electronic equipment to an oscilloscope and began to carefully remove all the noise that the speaker and needle on the record's groove could create until they had a signal that could only be attributed to Sumner's voice. They found an undertone in his voice of four vibrations per second. This is astonishing because the human ear is incapable of hearing any sound below ten vibrations a second!
The music and joy is wonderful and palpable, but perhaps the genuine diversity and unity in spirit is the most uplifting aspect of this clip, esp. in light of the cultural rancor we are seeing in the news circa June 2020. This gives me hope that reconciliation and harmony is possible on many levels. Praise the Lord.
J.D. Sumner and my parents were close friends , Obviously . I knew J.D. from birth up until my 30 's when he went to be with the Lord . He was on of the funniest men I've ever known . No wonder Elvis was so taken by him !

JD Sumner was one of the GOATs, no doubt. Sad to think that so many of those legendary southern gospel singers there are no longer with us. :'(
Amen.
Nothing sad about it . This is not home!!
@@Warlock_Sack 1
Yes a little talk with Jesus always makes it right. hallelujah
We will see them all in heaven one day so it's not really sad that JDSumner has gone home to glory
There is nothing in the music world that compares to gospel singing. All one has to do is listen.
It's also the most enjoyable because you can hit some really really low notes and crack up and people still love it
We'll Soon Be Done (with troubles and trials) and When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart are two more great songs Rev Cleavant Derricks wrote in addition to Just A Little Talk.

This makes you so happy to be a Christian. J.D. Sumner is the man.
The dear soul is now resting safe in the kingdom of God WITHOUT an organ!

As a bass singer who feels like bass singers are overlooked, Larry Ford is the star of this song. Lord almighty he did a good job! 1:14
I think George Younce agreed with you!
Wow, Larry can Sing!!!!
Larry is sitting next to one of the greatest bass sinners in the World!!!
The late, great George Younce
J.D. is my favorite bass singer of all time
Ever hear him person? AWESOME
JANICE RAY I have & met him, even his speaking voice is mind boggeling!
I've met JD many times. What a class act. May he rest in peace.
Yeah, I agree but also check out Tim Storms. Holy Moly. He breaks woofers.
Yes. Sang in some of Elvis' songs.
All of us Christians should be this joyful! ☝

The transition from Larry Ford to Sumner was comedy gold. The organ just made it epic.
J.D. Sumner at his finest 👌 George Younce was so moved at the end of the song, that he stood up and said: "That's the way to do it, J.D.!"

Then you'll know a little fire is burning
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Regardless of what JD says, that organ sounds amazing.

JD, has been my mentor formy entire life. I have been able to emulate JD for many years. Unfortunitely, the quartette i was in, desolved, and i miss copying JD in our mission to provide the Word of God to all those who would listen.Unfortunitely we were Canada only
That is true...just a little talk with Jesus makes all things right🙏🙏🙏
What a voice ,elvis is smiling somewhere
JD Sumner had one of the best bass voices in southern gospel music. Rip, JD

Thank you . Wonderful, amazing
",,,,I've left word not to have an organ at my funeral". J.D was hilarious!!!!
and he didn't have an organ at his funeral either
Krista Brewer oh he’s passed ?😞
@@eastwestcoastkid oh yeah,
Why Even ah man RIP 😞🙏
eastwestcoastkid 1998
I estimate that this is 95-97
Larry Ford is amazing though. You really gotta appreciate that.
When God gives you a talent, use it to glorify Him and bless others. That's what J.D.Summers did. Praise the Lord!
Anytime I listen to some of these legends of this legendary group, I just tell myself that heaven will be beautiful
1:15 My eyes may be filled with many tears. Thank you Larry!!!

Joy unspeakable! Lord Jesus christ, we deserve this kind of fellowship as a family of christ. See how the elderly are comforted with great faith through praising. Thank you Jesus Christ!
One of the best bass singers of all time along with George Younce. I still have this on vhs from my granny 🤣🤣🤣 funny part about this you know J.D. wanted to curse 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But in his later years JD "got right". We are all just humans with flaws and misguided ways. Everyone has overt or covert failures. Thankfully we have a God who knows and forgives when we ask and turn away from as best we can. NO MAN is fit to judge another's heart.
What happened in this moment 2:24 ? I didn't understand 😅 (I'm Brazilian)
@@andresamuel5223 JD lost track because the organplayer threw in a lick.
@andresamuel5223 the organist played too loudly over JD's part in the song, so he got irritated and glared at them. It was not a tense moment, and all had a good sense of humor about it.
I don't know why, but singing and listening to Gospels makes me feel ease and much better, some sort of it always makes my mood and my day
Because Jesus is in the middle of it!❤❤
Wow! Larry Ford came out so rich & strong! Love this God-loving group!
Beautiful. Everybody's smiling, happy, and having good time. This is what music is all about!
For all those wondering about why they laughed so hard at 2:25, the organ player did a major key change, utilizing the fifth of the fifth (D major) as a passing tonic, which distracted J. D. Summer from his tuning. It is something utilized in gospel music and that's why Mark told him "He's waaaaaaaaay too white for that".
I wouldn't call it a key change. To me, it sounded like they were in C, (playing the one) when the organist went to D, the 2 (or the fifth of G) and went chromatically down to B (the third of the G major chord). Basically, a ii-V progression that would eventually resolve to the I. But what do I know, I'm only a bass player.
Thanks for the explanation!
@@keithliggins8545 you're absolutely right, it wasn't a key change, just a chromatism down-scale very used in blues and gospel songs, it is mostly done when coming from the root to the dominant, known as the II-V-I scale
Also, JD Sumner hated organ music! Which made what happened on this video even worse 😂😂😂😂
JD was obviously not an organ donor.
Terrific tenor and the ultimate bass
J. D. Sumner is my favourite bass singer in gospel music 😍
Absoloutely timeless recording
Maaaaan ! What a blessed bass voice bro J.D. SUMMER get! All praise to my JESUS! 😁✌️
3:11 I just LOVE that JD had to even laugh at himself! What a time and what a great guy!!!
Love to watch them when they are happy in His presents. So adorable family.
God bless the person for posting this video cuz it shows one of the final times you got to see JD Sumner one of the greatest baritone singers of all time
1:41 his voice is so brightly!
There is not a single doubt about the richness of J.D. Summer's bass voice! I wish so deeply that all religious people would sing spiritual songs without mechanical instruments of music. God's word teaches us to sing and make melody in our hearts. God's way is the only perfect and right way. (Acts 16:25; Romans 15:9; 1 Corinthians 14:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16-17)
Bass singers are crazy. I love seeing the banter humor between JD and George.
Bless everyone out there that’s watching this. !! We’re living in the last days. !!
Larry Ford is the best part of this video. All props to JD and the organist, but that Tenor voice from Larry is great.
dodohead015 agreed..Larry has the greatest voice!!!!!
+dodohead015 cheerio :) long live the greats!!
J. d. Sumner still steals the show!
The combination of the instruments as well as all their singing voices,alto or bass,makes the show truly enjoyable.
Wow, JDOC Sumner 's base voice was amazing! RIP
Kathy, I always think when I hear him sing, that the whales in the deep must hear and try to rejoice with us! As they and all creation surely will on that Glorious morning of our Savior's return, let HEAVEN and Nature sing! Hallelujah!!
In the mid-1960s, a student brought a record into the science club at Jamaica High School(Jamaica, Queens, NYC) which included J.D. Sumner. The other members were astonished and the question arose as to how low Sumner's voice could go. So they attached a microphone and some electronic equipment to an oscilloscope and began to carefully remove all the noise that the speaker and needle on the record's groove could create until they had a signal that could only be attributed to Sumner's voice. They found an undertone in his voice of four vibrations per second. This is astonishing because the human ear is incapable of hearing any sound below ten vibrations a second!
How I wish I could be surrounded with such joyful noices.Music comes from God.it brightened up my life ever since I can remember.
The music and joy is wonderful and palpable, but perhaps the genuine diversity and unity in spirit is the most uplifting aspect of this clip, esp. in light of the cultural rancor we are seeing in the news circa June 2020. This gives me hope that reconciliation and harmony is possible on many levels. Praise the Lord.
I love this man's voice.
God is so good!
The expression on Cynthia’s face (green dress) at the 4:00 Mark is Pure Gold!
I’d love to know what she was thinking at that moment.
There's nothing sweeter than the good gospel hymns of old! its a Blessing to. y soul to listen to them!
Who the hell can beat this guy in bass.
No one could, J.D. Sumner could hit an E0 note! About 6 notes lower then the piano!
@@kennyhuskisson2684 he had the longest vocal chords in history
I've met both JD Sumner and Larry Ford. Both were great to be with.
J.D. Sumner and my parents were close friends , Obviously . I knew J.D. from birth up until my 30 's when he went to be with the Lord . He was on of the funniest men I've ever known . No wonder Elvis was so taken by him !
That’s really cool!
