It was a blessing to personally know J.D.Sumner and the Stamps Quartet all my life . My father was a Gospel music producer and promotor along with my mother . They both met J.D. around the same time Elvis Presley met him . Just kids , all of them . Let me tell you a few things , J.D. was one of the funnyest men I knew , But at the same time , You talk about Jesus , And winning souls to Jesus , He would tear up like a baby !
Thanks to the wonders of DNA testing, I discovered that Ace Richman was my birthfather (and that of at least one other girl, but I'm looking for more). He was credited with giving JD his big break. 🤷♀️ I'm told Ace came to the Lord before he passed and I wonder if JD had any influence on that. Would like to hear from anyone with info about Ace, or knowledge of other offspring. I was born in '61, and my late half sister in '63. He was in his mid 40s then so there could be a whole generation born before us. 🤔 Would love to find family.
I recall meeting J.D. and the Stamps at a concert in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. I was buying the Blackwood Brothers records when they were still on the RCA Camden label......many decades ago......We'll see them all in Heaven.....at that Great Jubilee!
Love to hear "The Stamps" and miss them all terribly,esp. J.D. Sumner! I would love to see and hear Mr.Ed Hill and the amazing Rick Strickland....(the guy can sing) The last time I saw all these guys together was in Myrtle Beach, S.C. right before the death of Mr.Sumner!
I also love JD Sumner very much! He had a wonderful sense of humor and a great memory too. He treated people who he had never met, just like they were his next door neighbor.!
He sang an octave too low most of the time, as do many gospel basses (jes' showin' off). That is bad. It creates dissonant chord structure . You'll never hear a Barbershop bass flout music theory and show such disrespect for the sake of vanity.
@@shurshot2764 excuse me? He was one of the most Godly people. No one cares if barbershop basses do or Dont flout music theory, most probs don’t know it lol. Plus people like when the bass singer hits a low note! If you don’t like it, you can get, please and thank you
@@shurshot2764 I’m a bass and a baritone singer, my mama is a music minister, I sing all the time. I play bass. I have a lot in fact. And GOD has everything to do with it
I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with JD, Ed, Ed, Rick through Joseph Anthony and Reflections of Elvis. I can say it was truly the greatest times in my life doing Concerts with these gentleman. I used not to sing until Rick performed this sing and I now sing this song for loved ones sad to say but at only funerals. because our loved ones are not walking alone
I miss JD so much! Love the rest of those guys though! Just don't see them in their respective groups in my area. Great memories of them all, especially "The Eds" & Rick! Can't remember the excellent keyboard player's name without referring to recordings, but he was fantastic!
@@susanarseneault9046 probably during their more recent reunions but I don’t think they ever sang together(I could be wrong because I have truly No idea but I don’t think they did)
Ed Hill was the only one that ever deserved to stand in that first spot, right next to JD, on stage. I am bias though, as he is my fave member of the Stamps ;-)
metalbornmetalbred Donnie Sumner had far better voices then any of these bumps on stage (except JD)... Although JD doesn’t have just “such a great bass voice” as it is the Lowest. It’s great, but maybe not the softest sounding, as a George Younce. I forget if it is Jim or John Hill, but he, Blackwood, Donnie Sumner, and JD, were the best set of stamps that ever were to be.
Jeff R. J.D. was putting his had up to, (or over), his ear, in order to hear his own voice better, so that he could be surer of staying on key. Many singers do that, (especially Baritone or Bass Vocalists), if perhaps they cannot hear their voice quite good enough coming out of the stage monitors. If a singer cups or covers his/her dominant ear, or places 2 or 3 fingers in just the right spot on their ear, it helps their own voice to be reflected back to them, and they can hear it better.
Ed Enoch was a wonderful singer, as were the rest of the group. They used to stop at a little church in northern VA on Friday night's to sing, before going on their way to major concerts further north.
Love..Love…Love J D Sumner & Stamps quartet…Always & forever!!

What a wonderful man with a beautiful voice truly missed.Sing with Elvis in heaven ❤
Got to see them sing at a church in Modesto. Calif. sure would have been great to see Elvis and them sing together!
7:17 you can see/hear Ed Enoch say “whoa!” That E5 even caught him off guard 😂
Damn that slide at the end tho 🔥🔥🔥
If you're wondering, it's called ( 56 endings ). JD Sumner was known for it, that's 1 of the reasons Elvis wanted him as his bass singer.

Why did JD always put his hand over his ear?
Jeff R.
J.D. was putting his had up to, (or over), his ear, in order to hear his own voice better, so that he could be surer of staying on key.
Many singers do that, (especially Baritone or Bass Vocalists), if perhaps they cannot hear their voice quite good enough coming out of the stage monitors.
If a singer cups or covers his/her dominant ear, or places 2 or 3 fingers in just the right spot on their ear, it helps their own voice to be reflected back to them, and they can hear it better.
thanks
So he can be sure he's hitting the low low note on pitch! His notes are that low.
It’s to help him to nail the notes, he does that to hear himself better
have you more jd sumner from 1997
Everything i have is on my youtube channel. On my channel. type in search. J.D. Sumner & the Stamps.
where was the last Show from jd sumner
Marc Kevin

what´s the name of the young singer?
That is Rick Stickland.

C2 to C5
Love this song. Love old JD. But that has to be the worst version of the song I ever heard.
LIVERPOOL AND ELVIS FOREVER
Rick went as high as JD did low
😅
Don't know who the imposter is singing lead vocals but he should never have been allowed to sing a note. Beyond terrible.
Ed Enoch was a wonderful singer, as were the rest of the group. They used to stop at a little church in northern VA on Friday night's to sing, before going on their way to major concerts further north.
You need Jesus
The world's lowest bass singer
That singer was awful
How do you figure?
Just because u don’t like it doesn’t mean he’s awful. In fact he is quite the opposite. The quartet is quite the opposite of awful
