That voice is insane. His speaking voice is lower than most bass singers can sing. Especially those fake "lowest bass note" video posers. J. D. was the real deal - period.
Truth to that!
Waiting for CORPSE to grow older
YES SIR
@@nicholecrisp6584 Yeah the mic & his reflux condition
Corpse had a health problem g,e,r,d
He speaks without forcing his voice. The best bass of all time. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
paulo vc podia repostar esse video só que dublado e uma pena escutar essa voz poderosa e nao poder saber o que esta falando
@@austinriviera6711 Que prazer Tom, você por aqui. Infelizmente Tom, não consigo, porque o som é muito sujo, mal dá pra entender as palavras. Eu já vi várias e várias vezes esse vídeo.
And that's the very secret to emit low notes. Relax and let them come out naturally.
_I wouldn't retire till Jesus retired me_
- JD Summer 4 days before died 🙏
It’s sad he died 3 or 4 days after I was borning
millions of people wished they could sing like Elvis , But Elvis only wanted to be able to sing like one man J.D Sumner. RIP JD
I think you're right Sean.
I'm kind of one of those wannabe bass singer myself totoo and it's a great thrill to improve my lower range.
Strangest thing is that I'm also a trumpet player too. That and one who's learned through hard work how to play the higher notes.
What I've found is that the process of increasing the higher range on the horn feels similar to when practicing my lower vocal range. Both take lots of work and perseverance.
If one doesn't have the natural low voice like JD or the recently deceased Harold Reid (Statler Bros)? Then the vocalist absolutely MUST practice hard to develop and maintain the lower register.
Elvis favorite Gospel singer was Jake Hess. Not JD.
R.I.P. J.D. Sumner you had a special voice
Even when he laughs he has a deeper voice than most bass singer's voices and lowest notes.
Exactly he laughs in a C2-B1 shift
The best bass singer of all time.
Met him when i was a teenager, have loved him ever since. I will hug him and want to sing with him in Heaven.
What a voice! I'm 44 years old man. Now I feel like a little girl.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every interview after his wife's death, he mentioned that he lost her and how long it had been. Loyal was one of his descriptions. Faithful, always to Jesus and to spreading the message through singing.
What a treasure he brought to the folks and Elvis. Him Elvis and the Stamps once in a lifetime combo that will never be replicated. R.I.P. JD and Elvis.
Scott sings , that's so true . They will always be missed .
JD. you'd never dies in my heart..you still the best bass singer in the world
See you in heaven my friend
Amen
I simply think this man was so genuine and true. Was good to Elvis and I am sure they are together singing beautifully.
One of my Dad's oldest friends ! J.D. Sumner was a wonderful influence on my and my brothers and sisters life. What a Soul Winner . J.D. was proud to sing with Elvis , Just so he could sing his music : Southern Gospel Music , Quartet Music , Also Elvis Presleys favorite music . He would make the Stamps and Imperials sing with him all night long . J.D. Sumner was also one of the funniest men you would ever talk . We miss you J.D. !
Something that JD Sumner said resonates with me. I lost my wife a little bit more than a year ago and being at home is one of the hardest things to do. About the only time I ever go home is to sleep. It's especially hard for me to go into the office.
Many, many times with the business when we were cranking out the work she would sit there and play her puzzles on the internet, and I would do my paperwork and get things ready for the next day. I loved her so, so much. I understand exactly what JD Sumner is saying, and what he is going through.
For a long time I just didn't care. I didn't care if I lived or died. I think I'm past that now by the Grace of God, but it is still very hard. I sympathize with anybody who has lost a spouse. It's like you lose a part of you.
... yes like everywhere you go half of you is missing ❤❤❤ loneliness hovers thither...
So true!!!
I love his voice,it's so Deep and he's just talking,l must have watch it at least 15,or 20 times so far.mayGOD bless his soul.
JD Sumner, Elvis and so many more great gospel singers are gone. They are missed.
Love JD. you could see the relationship he had with Elvis just from the way he watched Elvis sing
amen, can't wait to meet them all in heaven along with my sweet hubby
J.D. Sumner has always been my hero. When I was a teenager, he always took the time to talk and encourage me and he was never too big to show love to everyone. Through the years, I had J.D. and the Blackwoods, and the Master's Five sing at my churches. He was and always will be the number one reunited with his beloved wife, and knelt joyfully at the foot of Jesus, when he came before Him, his Lord and master who he faithfully served all those years. I look forward to seeing you soon J.D.,!
I love to hear the one he sung with Elvis called LEAD ME! It’s priceless.
thats got to be sad when you talk to someone and they died 4 days after. He had a very deep voice.
I loved J.D. who was like a 2nd daddy to me and my 3 siblings, my family promoted music during the 70's and 80's, we also met Elvis Presley right before he died, upon Elvis's request thru J.D. who was my parents best friend. I think J.D. had been talking to Elvis about our music and concerts which is why Elvis heard about us and wanted to meet our family. Elvis Presley gave our dad a beautiful silk scarf he had written a whole paragraph on it thanking us for promoting music during the 70's and autographed it, we miss them both but we have hundreds of photos and a few videos of all of them. We promoted J.D. and the Stamps quartet, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Jake Hess, The Gaither's, and 100's of others. I've known J.D. since I was 10 years old, we used to go on vacations together with his family, Love you my 2nd dad J.D. Sumner, see you and Elvis Presley again in Heaven when we get there, and yes I still remember the songs you and Elvis sang with us when I was young!
That's really awesome to learn and read about your time, have you ever posted this email pics/vids before?
jd Sumner knew Elvis since he was 15 he loved a enjoyed Elvis music as well as joking around w him they were great together I believe they are both now together. in heaven
God puts only a few people on this earth that really stand out and are super special !!!! This is one of those people !! God bless you Mr.J.D.Sumners
Singing with Elvis right now in heaven.
Highly doubt that.
@@saraschneider6781 Thomas?
@@patloria1?
Elvis reached more people with his gospel music than many evangelists in the world. I did a concert with the Stamps and of course talked about Elvis all night.
He is and always will be the best…
I love this man. God rest his soul
You gonna offer his voice a contract?
His voice was so low it was freakish. This is the reason that every time I hear someone mention one of these other guys that are in the Guinness Book for singing lower than JD, I just shake my head. My first thought is "Have you ever heard JD speak?!!!"
Wow, it's hard to believe that he died just 4 days later. It's interesting that he had no idea that he was just going to pass away just days later. None of us know when we'll go.
Furby Gender Very true
Jesus needed a bass singer. God bless him! Wonderful sweet man!
He was ready.
I believe by his breathing he was a heavy smoker (which helped with the deepness) he passed from a massive heart attack!!! he's back singing with Elvis now!!
I truely believe him a Elvis Presley was good a spirtural friends ,,,,,, ,Elvis presley was an remarkable a amazing man.
Ok
what a heavy bass voice. The best voice
@@theradchase3094 not as nearly
Strange how he said that he wouldn't retire until Jesus retired him and four days later he left.
“Life and death are in the power of the tongue “.
Really wow
@@beehappy3209 agreed !
He may have had a feeling his time was getting close, and that was his way of letting folks know that he was ready whenever Jesus came for him!
A lot of people sense it, sometimes subconsciously.
What a class act. JD was awesome
His voice I will never forget
You were gifted and thank you for sharing your gift
One of ELVIS concerts Elvis interdoiced JD summer & said when I was 16 I seen JD summer in the Blackwood Brothers and it's a privileged to be on the same stage as you
When I was very young I remember when JD and the Blackwood Bros.came to the church I attend,Freeway Forst in Houston,Texas
He was amazing singing bass. The whole quartet was awesome. I will forever forget. Than he also sang with Elvis it was heart warming.R.I.P. J.D.
Oh to be used by God in this way all the way to the end of earthly life. May the Lord be praised!
Ray Herbst , that's true ! Thank you Lord for giving them to us even if it was only for a short time on these earth .
He had more plans to perform the next year and so on.But hes time was up few days later . Great life for sure and probably the best Bass singer ever ! He and George younce the best! He talked about hes funeral and what he wanted that was strange . I guess he got what he wanted no organ all piano ,fast and furious! Have fun in Heaven you and George rattling the place with your bass voices and having a great time.
Wonderful interview and testimony
What a true friend he was to all. The last time I saw J.D. Was in Vicksburg, MS and you could tell he was not feeling good. How we all miss him so much. He loved his gospel singing, his family, Elvis and God. ❤️
Dot Johnson , awww bless his heart .
I am sorry I never got to meet him. R.I.P. J.D. May God Bless.
A Movie about this mans life should be written. & I know the perfect Bass who could pull off the lead! JD made such a huge contribution to the music world. His story should be told. RIP JD💐
PentaTonya FanGirl yes it should!!!
Actors?? Impossible
The Lord Jesus called J.D. home in heaven with Him on November 16, 1998. Jesus retired J.D. on this earth 4 days later.
I was born 4 days before he died I was born in November 13 1998
I enjoy listening to gospel music because of Elvis and JD.
HE TALKED LOWER THAN ALL THE OTHERS COULD SING
true
YOKI LEE Search "mikhail zlatopolsky interview" and skip to 1:16
Josh Barela Actually JD and Zlatopolsky had really similiar voices when it comes to how low they spoke.
J.D. was a 2nd daddy to me and my siblings, we miss him and Elvis Presley a LOT, my family promoted music thru out Texas in the 70-80's, we held concerts for J. D. Sumner and the Stamps quartet, The Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, and hundreds of other groups and bands. J.D. was a wonderful man, we lost him to brain Cancer in the 90s.
Debbie Autry wait JD died from brain cancer? Or are you talking about another person and not JD because as far as I know he died from a heart attack.
As fine a human being as there ever was!
Elvis loved him a his voice.
Naturalmente a voz mais grave do MUNDO
I have watched and listened to J. D. for years. Loved this man and his testimony.
Joan For Christ I knew J.D. personally cause my family promoted music during the 70's and 80's thru out Texas, he was like my 2nd dad, very kind considerate and a great Man! I've known him since I was 10 years old up until his death from brain Cancer, we met Elvis Presley one time upon Elvis's request thru J.D who was my parents best friend. We promoted J.D. and the Stamps quartet, Alabama. The Oak Ridge Boys, The Gaither's, and 100's of others, held concerts every month, we miss J.D. and Elvis but we have 100's of photos and a few videos of them all. Someday we hope to share them all but can't just yet due to our elderly parents who love their privacy.
Debbie Autry-Skubik so JD died of bran cancer?
I’m confused
WHAT AN AMAZING MAN IS J D SUMNER! 4 DAYS LATER, HE WENT HOME!
Awww, that was a sweet story .
We'll listen to you as long Your voice exist on recording. Just like Elvis I love JD's voice and his true felt gospel
Just visited his resting place today. What a witty, yet humble man.
Where is his resting place?
You are blessed and been a blessing thank you
I met J.D. in 1993 in moultrie, ga outside of advanced auto parts. Got his autograph and go to the Stamps show free that night. Will never forget it. Amazing man. R.I.P. Elvis and J.D. .
Mickey Rhodes are you kin to Charles Rhodes and Martha Rhodes..........I was Mack Sellers daughter Colquitt co too.
I love his singing what a gift
Love J.D.
J'ai adoré cette voix si rare quel talent vous avez vous avez fais de la magie en accompagnement avec Elvis. Gratitude 🍀🍻🌟❤
I'm sorry Mr. Sumner, but we're going to have to stop the interview and continue outside, this building was not built to sustain the earthquakes brought on by your voice
Something Orother Good one, lmao!
I bet if I stood near him whe- n he hit an extremely low no te,.I could feel the floor vibra te underneath my feet.
Saw him in person as a kid. He would vibrate your whole body to the point that me and my siblings couldn’t help but just giggle out loud.
ELVIS loved to perform, "Why Me Lord"
with JD. Together, they made 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️
👏👏👏👏👏✌️♥️✝️♾️
Blessed🙏
If J.D whispered in my ear I would've thought it was God shouting
I actually loled at that because it's the truth!
I can't wait to meet him some day in God's Kingdom! He's an inspiration to me both Musically and Spiritually :)
Flyingferrets5 , me too !! I can't wait to hear him singing up in heaven.
Wow! The Italians should've named a race car after JD 'cause his voice... he talked in an F1!
😲😲😲
He's talked even lower than a F1 sometimes.
Wow. Forgot how much I missed this voice.
I first heard JD with the Blackwood Brothers in 1961! I was a fan from that moment on! I met JD one time in San Diego, Ca
thanks dj x
J D Summers entrou para o Guinness Book como a voz mais grave do mundo. Ele tinha a voz que eu gosto e era muito bonita. Até falando, a voz dele era grave. Ele era Baixo Super Profundo.
He's homesick to be W God a Elvis Presley. I believe after Elvis presley died life to him was sad a lonely a pused him more into God's direction ,,,, I believe he missed his friend Elvis.
First and foremost, I believe he missed his
Beloved wife. ELVIS and JD were like brother's, JD was 11 years older. JD was
close to the Presley Family. He missed his
friend ELVIS, and the hours of singing the
Gospels together. They had much Love
and respect for each other. I visualize both,
together singing for the Lord. What a joyous
time for all! ✌️♥️✝️♾️
looking forward to seeing you in heaven and hearing that voice singing in the heavenly choir
God used Elvis and JD in a mighty way!!! I bet they are setting in heaven together now, and if I know my daddy he’s setting there with them!🙌🙌🙌
He have the lowest speaking voice,I've ever heard ,MAN!!!!. Beautiful..may GOD bless him.
God has Blessed JD! He's Home now! With His Savior! Singing with George, Jake and Elvis! Entertaining the Angel's, and all who have gone before him! HALLELUJAH! 😇
Hello from England
J. D Sumner was a true ‘giant’ both physically and as a human being
All I can say in a few words BUT J D had it all and God gave him so many talents and of course as humans we are not perfect and we all have our own ‘demons’
I hope he went through those pearly gates of heaven with NO REGRETS
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🥲🥲🥲👌🏻👌🏻🙏🙏
Amen
His laugh is like me laughing in a low voice then putting the Snapchat slow-mo filter on it LOL
Wonderful Man of God, & my Daddy doesn't like organ music neither, May JD Rest In Peace, Amen 🕊️🕊️🕊️😇🕊️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jd e Mikhail, jamais haverá vozes iguais
Man you missed ioannis tsoumaris ,Eric Holloway and Redd pepper
Miss ya JD
Holy crap
JD’s last show was in Myrtle Beach, SC on Nov. 16, 1998. I notice this just says last show but does not claim to be that concert.
Just Insane...
Sad, they don't sing gospel music in church anymore. Used to see him in Georgia, my mom's family use to share crop with his family. I miss the all night gospel singing.
isn't that weird he died on Nov the 16 the a elvis died. Aug the 16 th a they sung TOGATHER a loved each other now I believe they are TOGATHER in heaven singing a enjoying living a being happy forever rip both you guys shine on w Jesus
Keem, your comment wasn't needed. Why would you even say something like that?
I deleted his comments!!
@@cfife1924 what did he say?
@@chadmedford1849 why did he say?
One of our main duties as Christians is to bring people to Christ, and that's what JD was talking about when he was talking about being able to sing gospel music with Elvis to his crowd, that may not have as many Christians as a normal gospel crowd. What a life JD led. RIP JD and Elvis, TCB⚡.
0:10 the lowest laugh ever
Oh hello it’s you
Jd's voice is ridiculously low in this video.
@@judithrichey3180 Nobody can hold a candle to JD. Richard Sterban started out singing backup to Elvis before joining the Oak Ridge Boys in 1972, & even HE can't sing as low as JD. RIP, JD.
It always is
@@Marcell0Bass Nah, over here it's even more lower than usual , he's talking in the first octave the entire interview. Normally his voice goes a bit higher than that.
@@Marcell0Bass when he was in his 40s, he talking around G1-B1/C2. In this interview, he talks lower than G1,maybe F1,D1 or Bb0 in his laughs...
In every video
have you the last Show from jd sumner
Alo g with many likes, I like the fact he said Fast and Furious at the end referring to piano playing at funeral, several years before thr Fast and Furious brand came out.
have you more jd sumner interwiws
I miss his old hide
I like him but I'm not a huge fan of JD but to be honest, when he died gospel music died too. I mean look at the other old legends like Ken Turner he sings but the halls are almost empty! People don't listen gospel music anymore which is pretty sad. :(
I 'd loved if this interview was translated to portuguese ....please...!!
Adoria se esta entrevista fosse traduzida p o portugues por favor!
Oh how I want to finish my race like he did
Way on down...is not where JD is !
Is he speaking without chest voice? It sounds like strohbass voice, except some parts like here: 2:15
he speaks F1-G1
Lower
Possibly down to B0!👍✌
Interviewer to J.D. "when you do pass on..."
