JD’s ear was very good. The fact that he could slide that slow, hold the note that long, then slide back up is incredible. He’d usually slide below the note and come back to it. Never will be another like this fella. His vocal cords must’ve been 3 feet long.
@@JDSumnerStuff well, it's a term I see used quite frequently among bass singing enthusiasts and I'm not sure it means the same to everyone. When I think of fry I think of someone squeezing the throat to scratch out a low note. Typically shrill and poor quality. Not what I'm hearing in this cut. In fact I've never heard JD "fry". by that definition
Vocal fry can sometimes have quality, adding that this A0 note is around his lowest chest note so it's an easy note to hit in vocal fry for him. Honestly all his recorded fries are mostly accidental and he didn't like the use of vocal fry in other bass singer singing. If you want I made a video called "JD Sumner extreme low notes" were you have some recordings of accidental fry in the 0 octave and even -1 octave

Oh my God! This is a true showing of his vocal prowess!!
Vocal fry? Are you sure?
Pretty sure the A0 is a fry. He used it for a comic goal. Though all the other low notes, including the F1 and E1, are in chest voice
