- The Masters V (J.D. Sumner, Jake Hess, James Blackwood, Hovie Lister and Steve Warren) sing "Goodbye World, Goodbye" and "The Unclouded Day", and the Statler Brothers join them on "Just A Little Talk With Jesus" - from the TV show "Another Evening With The Statler Brothers"
Two of the best quartets in Gospel music. Rest In Peace Bro. Harold Reid.
Harold and JD singing together again!
What a good gospel singing when 2 bass singers competing each other on who sings lower. Harold Reid you are gonna be missed by your family and friends and also your fans. Now you and JD Are singing together in God's Choir in the sky
I got to meet J.D. at the Gospel Quartet Convention in Louisville, many years ago. His speaking voice was so deep, I couldn't hear him in that hall unless I was right up next to him, in a hug! I kissed him on the cheek and it was a true joy for me..This is one of the true blessings of God! I look forward to meeting him again in heaven!
He was the founder of the national quartet conversation... Then when he died it was ok for awhile but when they left Louisville Kentucky it has went down hill bad
As a child in the late 1950s I seen The Blackwood Brothers, Statesmen Quartet, and The Speer Family many a time when they toured together on the same bill. What a blessing!
Harold Reid was my favorite Bass Singer
That must have been such a thrill for Harold. He always said his favorite bass singer was JD and this segment was incredible.
Sorry to hear of Harold Reid's passing, gonna miss him a lot!✌
Harold and JD are a riot! So bloody funny... like George Jones said... “Who’s gonna fill their shoes?” Nobody!!!
Check out the tenors : Geoff Castellucci & Tim Faust
Tim Faust is so unreal. I can't get enough of his singing.
Always loved J. D. Sumner with the Blackwood Brothers Quartet. I have many 33-1/3 records and I can still play them. I’m thankful I kept my record player. I have a record cabinet and I can’t even guess how many records I have. I’m 77 now so I collected them all the time they were out. I’ve got about every type of music. I only care for Gospel music anymore.
RIP Harold Reid😥💔😇❤
R.I.P Harold Reid I know I'm late but whatever. But Harold And JD Sumner along with Richard Sterban and George younce. Are my favorite Bass singers.
If you watch closely you will see J. D. smile just as he hits that low note; that was one of his little secrets. As he smiles it changes the pitch just enough to make a step lower. Richard Sturban of the Oakridge Boys told that story one time on I think it was Nashville Now.
I'd forgotten how much happy these guys scatter around! I always find myself grinning from ear to ear listening to them! And I love watching Hovie's feet going faster than his fingers!
I would too. I can't wait till I'm in Heaven so I can hear J. D. sing once more and laugh at his jokes. In Person. For all eternity. Now that's how it's done.
Oh my heart. Most of the legends I grew up with are gone now. I always tried to play like Hovie and made a decent living playing when I was younger. There's only one Hovie. Miss them so much.
Amazing even by today's standards of gospel music. How listening to them brings back so many memories as a young kid when they would visit our Church.
I have this taped on an old Beta tape from when it was originally on TV. Thanks for putting this on here. I haven't seen it in ages. This was a really good show with lots of stars.
Ya can't watch it all the way through and not find yourself smiling.
This is classic gold. Never see music like this anymore
Heaven is rocking with these song’s and singers! Yee haw! 🥰🎼🎹 Hovey can really play!
Easily one of the best performances of that particular song I've ever heard in my entire life! The way they did it, the crowd response, and most importantly, the central message in that song, just made my day! The message in the song is so true:if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!

Jd is my favorite Bass Singer.
Old school awsome
The Statlers were role models for up-and-coming gospel groups. In Darke County, Ohio it was The Harvesters!
I remember this. Loved it then and love it now!!
What a delight
This was beautiful and wonderful thanks for posting this.
love this music
I remember when they came to our little town of Winfield ks. Great they played big and small.
HOVIE, thank you !
That's good stuff
I used to listen to my grandpa's records of the Blackwood Brothers, Statemen, Florida Boys...then I went home and listened to my Statler Brothers. All are superb.
Those were the days...
so cool that ending aaalways gets me
GOD BLESS YA'LL !
HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE GOD for these great MEN OF GOD !
Wonder group
LOL. J.D. is awesome!
Anybody else ever notice Don's speaking voice is lower than Harold's?
yea haha i realize that too, pretty sure don can be a bass singer as well. RIP to harold
Phil's speaking voice is enough low
JD Summer's voice is low even when he speaks. Harold Reid is a tenor compared to him.
Don is probable consider a baritone.
Loved it my friend
Wish Lew DeWitt was still there
God, i so love them!!!
I loved JD nearly as much as he did !!
I wish they had this on iTunes!
I love this so much!
Love Love Love This !!!
SOOO MUCH TALENT!!! PRICELESS!!!
The first song by the Statesmen is When he calls, I'll fly away. The second by the Blackwood Bros, is The old country church.
So many great singers.
Anyone notice Hovie is not playing the main piano part coming over the speakers?
Love this!!!
Unfortunately all of the Masters V quartet except I think the 1st tenor have gone on to be with the Lord. I look forward to singing with them in heaven someday.
Tom Anderson ?))8 k
L!ol
Tom Anderson
You are correct. The only one of this MV lineup still alive is Steve Warren, the tenor.
great
@biglhot75 on a gaither DVD JD said: "I gave George (Younce) a chance to sing baritone (for the stamps I guess), ain't low engouh sang bass but... I feel sorry for him" =))))
❤
love it
fantastic!!!
I've told all my troubles goodbye
Goodbye to each tear and each sigh
This world where I roam cannot be my home
I'm bound for that home in the sky
I walk and I talk with my Lord
I feast every day on His word
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
Now, don't you weap for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet won't stay on the ground
I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
I'm gonna rise with my Lord in the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
I won't have the blues anymore
When I step across to that shore
And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind
My heartaches and tears ever more
A day, maybe two then goodbye
Tomorrow, I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
Now, don't you weap for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet won't stay on the ground
I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
I'm gonna rise with my Lord in the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
Just a little while to stay here
Just a little while to wait
And then I'll say Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye world, goodbye
World goodbye
This is music
I saw the Masters 5 when they still had Rosie.
I got to see jd vestal and all the gang in Rome ga what a great memory
1:14 Goodbye, World Goodbye
3:39 Unclouded Day
6:38 Just a Little Talk With Jesus
QUE SEQUÊNCIA! Fantástico, como gostaria de estar neste auditório, relíquia este vídeo, thanks!
Whoa! Steve Warren's tenor is incredible!
Raymond Lisle
And he wasn’t even a natural tenor... 😁
@@aronwarren78 That last note he hit was in soprano range!!!!!!!
Is nobody going to say anything about the toupee? Bless his heart.
No. I'm more interested in their beautiful singing blessing me. They could all be bald as long as their voices continue to be a blessing to us.
Um dos melhores vídeos que já vi, que sequência. MASTER V the Best!
classic
Rosie Rozell was the original tenor in The Masters V but suffered a stroke so Steve Warren took over. Rozell rejoined the group when he recovered.
ilmsff7 Respectfully, you are incorrect. Steve Warren was the full-time tenor for the MV from the time of Rozie’s stroke in 1982 in Houston until the end of their run in 1988, except for about a 6-month period where Shaun Nielsen filled the role and also 1 tour where Rozie filled in for Steve when Steve had surgery to remove a steel plate from his leg. Steve is my dad, by the way. 😉
@@aronwarren78 Well, I guess I can take your word for it! lol! Your dad is a great singer and I really like this arrangement of The Unclouded Day.
This musicn should be compulsary for everyone to listen to. Heaven might be expanded if so. A BIG TTL for it.
I do love that Jake Hess had the courage to wear those awful wigs.
His older wigs weren't as bad as the ones he had during his last years.
TheMadMusicMan To true, even Mark Lowry took the micky out of him by coming on stage during one of Jake's "Gaither" perfomances wear one of his spare wigs & it cracked him up.
+Rockin' T.C. I think he at first wore them because he didn't want to be bald, but in later years, kept up the habit because he enjoyed being joked about. He was definitely a better sport about it than Bill Shatner, that's for sure!
Those were some rugs those guys were wearing
Show bela combinação em quartetos
can't be the Masters V without Rosie Rozell
Steve Warren is good, and if the Masters chose him, then he's good enough for me. But I sure miss Rosie.
I'll tell you, it is so good to hear the statlers acknowledge their gospel roots. one thing I'll never understand is why groups like them and the oak ridge boys went country when they did.
Jeremy Chambers . The Oak Ridge Boys went country to have any hope of staying together after being blackballed by southern gospel promoters when they showed up at a Wally Fowler all night sing wearing sport coats and turtle necks. They also had band members requesting raises and Duane stated at one point that him and Bill Golden were working for no pay. In the mid 70's time frame, southern gospel music was in a downward spiral, personnel issues being forefront and many groups disbanded, the Stamps, Blackwoods, and Statesmen among them, which brought about the formation of The Masters V. They still had people to pay as well. As for the Statlers, they got their start in country backing up Johnny Cash, and with his backing, they went out on their own. They learned southern gospel, but were never really full time in southern gospel.
Ragman517
Okay, I understand. Thanks a million for the clarification!
Ragman517 OK
Yes
In this presentation, we saw the lowest bass singer of sgm, and maybe the highest tenor of sgm. They are JD Sumner and Jimmy Fortune, in sequence.
Is there someplace I can get this video??!! LOVE it!!!
Ummm ... right here
@@Mark-sj3xb pretty sure she wanted to download it and put it in her personal files.
@@mypfpiswhatourphonesees4294 yeah, here
Fantastic. In what year was it recorded.?
5:49 the masters ix
I wonder if this was a track or live band? He definitely did play on Have a Little Talk With Jesus.
ilmsff7 This was a track recorded just for this show. Hovie played “phantom” piano on the first 2 songs but did play live in the last one. My dad told me about their rehearsals for this and that it was a blast.
Hovie was more of a motivator than a piano player. He did good with the talent he had. I found out the hard way one night in Austin Tx when O What A Savior was requested. Bob Toney on bass, James Blackwood on baritone, Buddy Burton on lead and me on tenor. Heard Buddy behind me saying " no Hovie don't do it." Sang the song and got the only standing ovation of the night. Buddy later told me that Hovie could only play that song in F. I had never sung it over Db. Little stress but we did it. Great night and great memories.
@@kennypayne9259 That's a great story!!!!!!! I'm a musician, but I have very little knowledge of piano. Why could Hovie only play it in F?
@@redlinemando ua-cam.com/video/ygoOaDrXDv8/v-deo.html
You see here how there’s a guy (I forgot his name) holding numbers up at Hovie? I figured they were numbers to the chords Hovie was playing. So perhaps Hovie knew the scale (obviously) but didn’t know the chord numbers to the song?
From the recordings I have heard over the years, J.D. did that to a log of bass singers. I think that, of the ones I have heard, that George Younce, Brock Speer and Paul Downing were among the few that could hold their own with J.D.
@mark fornoff They could hold their own until JD decided to go down to his basement & dig for China!!!!!!!
@@redlinemando hahaha that too funny
That was great! Thanks for posting. One of the lowest bass singers and one of the highest! LOL
My grandma makes Harold sound like a baritone. You don't have to be J. D. to do that.
Harold and JD were two cut ups.
what year was this?
1983 I think.
1984
It was shot in 1983. This was right after Steve Warren joined them full-time. The Statler Brothers gave each of the 5 of them 24-carat gold dipped Shure SM-81 microphones as a way of thanking them for being on the show.
Are any still alive?
Does anybody remember a song with the lyrics I've got a job you've got a job all of God's children surely got a job yeah we we got a job to do can't get to heaven til we get through, carrying our cross for our boss... I work for Jesus one day he hired me Jesus the devil in hell can't fire me.. I think the name of the song was Holy Ghost Incorporated I can't remember who sang it I can't find it on the internet. Just a jingle from my childhood..
3:07 ab3 até o ab1
Is he playing the piano? 2:23
murilo nascimento I question that also. I’m no musician, I can’t sing, I can’t play an instrument.....I can play the radio that’s it. But I noticed that what his hands were doing on the keyboard did not match up with the music. But to me that in NO WAY does anything to then wonderful music these great men are singing 👍🏼💜
There is also another track playing along with the piano as like a duet per say
No matter which microphon e Harold grabs.he's outdone by JD Sumner each & every t ime. JD can make the floor v ibrate. Doubt Harold could d o that.
@Kevin Miller JD could make the fault lines in Cali rumble while singing in Florida!!!!!!!
J.D. was a bottomless pit! Hitting well below the A0 on the piano!👍✌
Harold's voice was more musical, though, and stronger.
@@redlinemando Lol.
@@johnirby493 I don't know if I can agree with more musical, but Harold's voice did seem stronger & his blend was definitely the right fit for the Statlers. From vocal experience, I can say that strength is not the key to achieving maximum range in ones vocals. It's most often achieved with pronunciation & learning how to project one's voice while also keeping the vocal chords more relaxed. Some ppl just come by it naturally while others have to exercise & train their voices through years of experience. While Harold was great in his own right, JD was, so far as I've heard, the best that's ever been!!!!!!! His lowest note that I've heard was recorded during an Elvis concert where he hit an E0 & he actually went below that note before he settled on it.
Jack Toney,Jake Hess,James Blackwood and Dr. Ben Speer were the best and smoothest lead singers;Calvin Newton,Rosie Rozell,Jimmy Murray,and Dean Brown the best first tenors;J.D Sumner,George Younce, and Rex Nelon the best bass singers in Gospel Music history.
You forgot Denver Crumpler and The Big Chief.
Who is playing the piano? Its not the guy sitting there. Why would they have Hovie Lister there then have someone else play???
The first two songs are canned music tracks, most likely studio tracks. Air-piano. This evolved into what we have today where most all the instruments AND vocals are faked with studio tracks at "live" performances. It's very obvious just like you saw, but today they take great pains with camera angles, lighting and such to fool everybody. They distract everybody with the circus show. The sad part is that everybody's just fine with being duped.
by the time this was made, Hovie was getting up there in years and he just couldn't play the way he used to.
dobb673 It was a track, but not a canned track. It was built specifically for this show.
Ragman517 You are correct in that Hovie did not have the chops by this point that he once had, but he played live in the 3rd song. By this point, Steve Warren could play circles around Hovie’s playing - which is ironic seeing that Hovie was one of Steve’s biggest piano influences.
lol. hes not even playing that piano.
Yes, Hovie is playing the piano. He was a master pianist. However, there obviously is also another piano just like there is a full band behind them.
