- Опубліковано 30 сер 2011
- Get your headphones and speakers ready for 19 minutes of the bass singers the world has to offer. some are famous, some are legends, some are less well known, some are forgotten about and some don't get enough credit. sit back and enjoy what took me almost a month to put together.
Gary Miller, Such a Gentle Bass
I agree! Such a smooth voice.
It's such a shame we lost him. Gary was a great guy.
damn bass is so much sexier than tenor, sad most modern music audiences dont care.
Yep.
myeung16 Yep. Basses are literally shaking the earth. XD
Josquin desprez- De profundis clamavi is a great example of assessing basses, but my vocal type is similar to Wes McKinzie
Basses being basses.... I hate auto correct and I should remember to proof read.... *sigh*
myeung16 Yes they are, but it is not about being sexier just about being good or singing hits
People tell me I must have gone through puberty twice when they hear me sing because my lownote is a C2. Going by that metric, most of these guys must've gone through puberty four or five times.
Wait til you read about Tim Storms! 😂
@@DrBasso-tk8yk my lowest chest note was D2
My lowest note is a E1 and I'm 14
@@dlm-nh4ld really?.... I'm 18 now and can only go to a D2
@@Surath_Jesus Yeah it's hard for me to but my lowest is a C1 and my normal talking voice is a D2
Duane Adams' voice definitely massaged my ears
Basses today hit low notes on albums but not in concerts because their voice isn't really low every night and on albums they can wait till their voice is up to par or its studio tricks to help achieve a lower sound as to where, JDs voice was just always low and he always showed it off. Master crowd showman he was!!! People came to hear him shake the floors and he sure never disappointed!!
Amen! Ain't a lot of us!
Seriously, Vladimir miller is on another level. The absolute clarity is amazing.
That's why it's absurd to have him in a video with all these Southern Gospel hacks. Miller's clarity is amazing because that's his actual voice, not an amplified breathy growl. He's what's known as an Oktavist, whereas the others are bass-baritones or basses. A true basso profundo does not need a microphone to sing below a C2!
they put one of Tim Rileys higher pitched songs that dude can hit the lowest with the best of them and with way more power than most of them Most are deeper vocal fryers ,,, his still has strength and power at the low octaves,, cant say that for very many
Jaska Börner some of these are also very good bass singers, using full chest voice to hit the notes. However, none of them have the power of Vladimir.
@Jaska- agreed. This compilation is rather ridiculous
Vladimir pasjukov is even better than Miller!
I replay this video every now and then and it brings so much joy to me, Gary Millers rich voice will always be a personal favorite.
You're welcome and thank you!! I totally agree and have said it to many people, "JD Sumner will forever be the measuring stick to which all basses are compared"
JD was so naturally it was just amazing. His style of singing has become and unfortunate lost art among bass singers and I don't get that either because of how many are so low.
R.I.P Gary Miller, he was a nice figure in Vocal Union and a smooth bass singer !
jd sumner brother it was a pleasure meeting you! I'm sure Heaven's a rumbling with those bass notes! I look forward to seeing you again one day!
Wow... such a great collection!
george younce was by far the best bass at combining low note ability and musicality to his style.
definitely my favorite
Bass singers forever!
I've always dug Harold's attitude and interpretation of his lines in the Statlers . Thank you for including him :-)
RIP Harold Reid
I love that the majority of these are southern gospel!🙌
Harold to me is a true legend and one of the all time greats. Is he the lowest no but he sure has a recognizable voice that you know when you hear him! same with Richard Sterban..Harold was the 1st bass I ever heard has a child and was my 1st favorite bass and still stands up to this day as one of my all time favs next to J.D. Sumner, George Younce and Tim Riley!!
Do you know what happened to David Hester? I don’t know much about him
wheres KEN TURNER
thanks 4 putting this vid together
Vladimir Miller, Gary Miller, Wes McKinzie, Rodney Britt, Rober C Guy, Duane Adams, Goerge Younce, Jeff Pearles, Tim Storms and JD Sumner are all just absolutely amazing singers, all unique in their own way. Great choice of Basses, I listen to this every day and figured it was time to leave a comment. :)
I have never heard of them but will most certainly check them out!! I am always out to find new amazing bass singers I have never heard of!
Thank you much sir for the info!!
This collection is superb. You really tried in compiling most of the known bass singers. Good Collection
Tim Storms is my favourite!
This is my new favorite part of UA-cam.... I personally can sing the Ab below the bass clef... this is inspiring.
Guys, being a bass is awesome! Everyone loves a good bass, I’m one myself and I understand exactly what it’s like to be a bass and fill out a chord, it’s awesome. But emotion is much easier to be gained in a tenor. Hearing a super high, heart felt, note in full voice in a sad song (that’s sung well of course) can be such a tear jerker. I’ll always be jealous that I can’t do that. Basses don’t have that impact (typically) usually filling out a chord or singing low is impressive and sounds good but there’s a reason we don’t sing melodies. As for baritones nobody cares... (jk I love baritones as well! Be thankful for what voice you have and train it as well as you can!)
I sing bass to. If I practice enough I can hit some of those high notes but its more fun to sing bass.
I'm more of a baritone but I enjoy messing around with singing to jd and frying it as well
Yeah I’m a baritone I’m pretty sure, I’m 18 and not very trained of a singer but my range in my chest range is from E2-B4, on good days I get an Eb2 and D2 for my lows and a good day on highs would be a C5, but I normally have subharmonics that good from Eb2-Bb0, I don’t really count anything lower than that cuz it’s never very good to use in music cuz it’s hard to hear, but I really do wanna be good at singing and do low subharmonics at times
@@White2530 - Remember, it’s more about how good you sound than what notes you sing. Focusing on what notes to hit can lead to frustration, vocal damage, etc... it’s not the way to become a good singer. Focus on what you have, and work on it... range will come with time!
@@NikoPorter yeah tru
@80dKeys
Hi there brother, glad you have enjoyed the video! I have always loved Harold and the Statler Brothers. Harold is the bass singer that introduced me to bass singing at a very young age. Felt it was time someone included him in a bass video.
George Younce will always be first as my favorite bass singer. RIP George!
Também o meu favorito. Grande George. Aqui no Brasil também é muito querido e respeitado até hoje. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Point well taken. I really enjoyed hearing some of the lesser known singers you added. J D will probably always be the measuring stick to which low bass singers are compared. He was in a class all by himself. Most people would destroy their voices if they attempted the things he did night in and night out. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting it.
The best Harold Reid!!! Viva The Statler Brothers!!!!!!!
I love the tone of Robert C Guy, best sounding bass in my opinion. But Duane Adams has sang everything from Tenor to Bass and his range is incredible.
So many great Bass singers here, and I am personal friends with many of them.... Jeff Chapman, is one of my all time fav's!!
I love Paul Kennemer's voice!
It’s too dry, and Vocal fry, he isn’t a true bass I don’t think
@@Tacoman542 You *don't* think he *isn't* a true bass? Then he IS a true bass? lol
George Deves “he isn’t a true bass, I don’t think” , I meant I don’t think he is a true bass
@@Tacoman542 he has a G1 chest so yeah he’s a true bass
@@NathanSmith-do9wr he may be considered one but all he does is vocal fry, not chest. Chest doesn’t sound that dry, it’s warm and smooth usually.
Finally someone put Ray Dean Reese, one of the gospel greats with almost 50 years with the Kingsmen, and Mike Holcomb of the Inspirations in a bass singers video!
Braxton Nelson ray dean Reese is By far the worst in this video. Sounds absolutely terrible. Nothing but vocal fry
Alex Richards I was gonna say that too, his voice is only vocal fry
what about nic val
Best video yet!!
thanks for the advice. its very much appreciated
Beautiful
this is just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Just amazing ! 5 stars !
I personally like Rodney Britt the best :)
Some of the really good ones have been missed.
Many of these I have never heard of.
It's amazing that a number of these basses have sung for the ACAPPELLA Company and Keith Lancaster.
I’m a huge fan of Rodney Britt! I just really love the richness of his sound!
Richard Sterban gets my vote
J.D. SUMNER BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!
My lowest chest note is around B1-C2. These fellows are truly some great basses!
Pasyukov? Zlatopolsky? Wishnyakov? They blow most of those “ultimate basses” out of the water and are not even mentioned here
This makes me hate being a tenor.
Haha in choir? I'm 14 and I can hit a lot of these notes, you're missing out bro XD
+Nick Casserlie damn you must be a huge bass prodigy, jk nice try lol
I'm serious broXD
Nick Casserlie im sure your little 14 year old vocal cords are quite able to match some of the greatest basses in history /s
Not saying I'm as good as them or can hit all of their notes, because IK I can't but I can hit a lot... And I am 14. Don't say little eitherXD
Excellent!!! The cavernous voices
IT is very nice to hear!
omg i kept replaying the last note that Keith Plott sings
Gary Miller is awesome
+Darren Criss *Was :(
Is there a reason Thurl Ravenscroft is not here or did I miss him? the man that sang Mr Grinch, A pirates life for me, The Headless Horseman. He was also the voice of Tony the Tiger. He was with a groups back in the 50s. He was the voice that got me wishing I could sing that deep.
Oh Harold Reid. The Statler Brothers are and always shall be my heros.
Good to see Burman Porter and Vladimir Miller in here! I think those 2 are quite underrated and they definitely belong in the top ranks with guys like JD, Tim Riley, George Younce, and Richard Sterban. I wish there was a 20th minute though with some Big Chief and London Parris, but still, AWESOME video!
BTW, I read on the internet that it was recently announced that Burman Porter is going to go back on the road with the Dove Brothers as David Hester is going to retire.
i love this video
Those glowing eye-looking things in the darkness behind Tim Riley's picture is not exactly settling to see before nighttime.
Tim Duncan may not be the lowest bass singer of all time, but his tone is incredible!
Do you know what the name of that first song was that he was in whenever his part came up?
@@Branbran1993 I wanna get closer. Blackwood brothers do this one so good
@@yp9658 yeah I love the original
great vid
hey brother! loving it! :)
DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I LUV THIS
The Fry is strong with some of these guys
All of them are fantastic. It is difficult to choose one of them as better than other. All of them are from different time in life and many of them are already in haven. One thing is true: they gave their best contribution to the gospel music and used their voices to praise God.
@lowluvver
I'd say all of that is pretty accurate. Did you notice that unlike so many singers that the lower JD gets the smoother his notes sound? i had fun putting this together as I think it showcases these great basses well.
Tim Riley is absolutely the Rolls Royce of basses with a defined low end and more width than virtually anyone, and he NEVER sings sharp or flat!
you wouldn't happen to know the name of that first song Tim Riley sang on here would you? At 8:57?
Look up jd sumner
I agree! Send me some low stuff by him and I will include it my next video as I have found it hard to find music by them.. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video..
Richard Sterban and JD Sumner
This video was dedicated to the guys who could get the low notes on any given night...John Hall has a great voice but didn't consider him low enough to be included here plus its hard to include when I don't have any of his music! I also don't have anything by Ken Turner or Rex Nelon! I always liked Rex!! Rex had a great lead..Other basses I did consider were, London Parris,Jim Weatherington,Mike Allen and Dan Britton but didn't make the cut due to time constraints!
the first step to heaven
Saved the best for last I see.
Well damn, I was really excited about my Bb1.
and i thought that i had a low voice! my voice doesnt even compare to these guys. dang!!
thanks so much for all your efforts. really enjoyed the mix. If you could include Big Chief Jim Weatherington in the next video I think you would have all of the bases covered...........Gid bless.
@jimgarnett1
Well said and I agree! Is that clip available anywhere? Would sure love to hear it.
JDs breath control and pitch always amazed me. Anyone who in one breath can slide down the scales and back up in 28 seconds has amazing breath control! JD had that ability mastered.Basses today could learn so much from how JD sang and trained. It seems to be a lost art.Tim Riley seems like the only bass left who really loves showing off. not to mention his great pitch and breath control
Where can I find the full track to Tim Storm's walk the line?
Your voice will develop with time just don't spend all your time going for the low notes because when you do get it you won't know how to do anything else..Be a singer first and don't concentrate on being a bass but a singer with a low voice..That always helped me through my years of singing..Happy singing!
Well said by the Great George Younce.
The song is called "A Tiny Child" its a remix found on Acappella family Christmas. Was originally on Acappella Christmas from the early 90s with slight vocal percussion which was removed on the remix. Of interesting note, Duane also sings the tenor lead on that song. He has abut a 6 octave vocal range.
Dear #thebassmanadam , in the minute 12:19, when Eric Bennett is singing, with which group is him singing? In which album? :) Thanks for your answer!
Maybe one day but right now I don't have the time to go back and list all of them.
I think there are no Avi Geoff and Tim because this vid is too old ist from 2011
Agree
Chest note!! No vocal fry 😂
@thebassmanadam It is pretty neat! The backstage jam session with Elvis, the TCB Band, JD and Stamps, Richard, Sweet Inspirations, etc. from 1972 when they sing "I, John" is just amazing!
@vipor3D
Richard to me can rattle the floor with the best of them. that note on Workin On A Building is quite impressive. I agree, he does have a cool look. its interesting to note that Richard got his start in the 70s as back up bass for JD Sumner and the Stamps. JD gave him his big break and Richard got a lot of exposure in that time thanks to them touring with Elvis! Richard joined the Oakridge Boys in either 1977 or 1978 and has been there since. He is a legend now!! No doubt about!
Impossible to choose who is better than who. They are all good.
I want to meet most of these baritones.
Why is no one talking about gene or David?
Good point
Christian Davis.....oh my God that is amazing!!! Can anyone tell me what that first song of his was?!
The Lord's Prayer
The second song too! He is amazing!
browderindahouse if you compare the note he hits in the second clip, it's the same as the note from Duane Adams at 10:14. But if you use headphones or earbuds with the volume decently high, you can tell the clear difference between the two, Duane's being in chest voice and sounding clear and full, while Christian's is clearly vocal fry or subharmonics.
@@vincentkennedymcmahon1509 Man Duane is a god. It still hard for me to imagine a human being hitting a D1 or C#1 in full chest, that's mind-blowing. And indeed Davis uses Fry but still obviously impressive for his young age ( when he sang the song ).
Love Richard. the first bass singer i fell in love with was the late Bob Thacker
what are the Duane Adams sings songs in this video?
Does anyone know where to find the song christian davis did where they're saying for evermore. I don't know if that's the name of the song, but if anyone knows where to find it, please tell me because I've looked on youtube and I can't find it.
Harold Reid is my favorite
Same here!
Yelp me too he was the 1st bass Singer I've ever Heard that Is how I got into bass singing.
Sterban is my all time favorite but I love some JD Sumner, Ken Turner, Tim Foust, and Geoff Castelucci
If you like low voices check out the power of the oktavist.
+Nathan Harris hell yeah! Those Russians are insanely low!!!
He sang with Vocal Union! He unfortunately passed away suddenly last year.
3:20 smoothest g# ever
I was going to write a funny comment about why someone would ever make the Ultimate 19 minute Bass Singers video... until I realized that I was in fact watching, the Ultimate 19 minute Bass Singers video. O_o
Woah where take Wes McKenzie this voice from? Geez thats some bass..
a question is the christmas carol version with Keith Plott on youtube somewhere? cant find it : /
Great video. Richard Sterban is my favorite, though I am fans of others diffenetly including J.D. Sumner.
As I previously said, this is a great video but I personally think that Nic Val, another fantastic bass, should be included in this compilation.
Jeff pearls my all-time favorite
What was the first song in Jeff Pearls category?
