This was so awesome. The Fairfield Four was given honorary memebership in the Barbershop Harmony Society that evening. It is wonderful to see the genuine friendship and respect between these eight singers. This is how all of America should be. I wish this video would go viral; it's what we all need to see right now.
Double barbershop quartets can do some truly interesting things, especially like this when you have two distinct amazing sounds pairing up with each other! :D
Yeah,though the Fairfield Four have an analogous part assignment. Their bass just makes me so happy, he's someone to listen closely to as someone of the same voice part! :D
Jim tried to sing a B1, but it was to deep for him, his voice just went into fry. Normally this song is a half key higher, which makes it a C2 (65hz) and Jim can sing that, though the B1 was just too low for his voice.
@passionthering: Sir, the good instinct in you that makes you love this piece of rendition should make you fall for Christ. Look at all the principles of Christ's teachings; it's all about peace, love, harmony, selflessness, and having repose ( rest ) for our souls when one is translated from this chaotic world into the great beyond. Please, consider following Christ, he loves you and meant good for you Sir.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
This is fun. I was there and remembered It well (my chorus kinda got curbstomped)! This performance was so much fun! Jim Henry, of course, was astonishing!
Fun fact: shortly after the year 1820 a white guy who was a preacher, or something of the like, taught this song (Roll Jordan Roll - written by Charles Wesley) to a group of slaves to Christianize them. The result of that incident birthed the Blues.
You can listen to the original off of the album standing in the safety zone by fairfield four who are the original composers and arrangers. The original bassist is Isaac "dickie" Freeman. There is also a live cover by the same group as they recorded with the blue grass band. Roll Jordan roll by the fairfield four featuring Nashville blue grass singers..to that effect.. hope that helps. Hope all is well with you and your family at this time..Be blessed.
I think that the lowest notes are at the bottom of Jim Henry's range. I'm not sure the of the key they sing this in, but I think it is whatever key the Fairfield Four normally sing it. The bass from Fairfield Four sings amazingly low notes. If you notice, when both quartets sing together, Jim sings baritone instead of bass.
Take 1:14 for example. That may have been at the bottom of Jim's range, but it still rattled the chairs in the building when he dropped down there. The sound in all these webcast recordings is just lacking.
I agree; there's some things you miss with the best recordings. Nothing takes the place of being there. I'm also used to hearing J.D. Sumner sing it, and he's a tough act to follow anyhow lol
Petromax I believe Dr. Jim Henry (the other bass) did his doctoral thesis on early gospel and blues music. I've heard him speak about the pronunciation of various words in hymns and the like from that era. I'm guessing you can research the history behind the songs and styles for more info if you are interested.
That's not the bassist for the Fairfield Four I have seen, a matter of fact, they are all different. I'm glad they are keeping the music alive, but that ain't them.
What is the importance of your view? When people pass on, are their places supposed to be filled or should forever be vacant. Basketball and Football teams do change but have the same IDENTITY or NAME. QED

I've listened to this a million times! And, and no matter how many times I have, I still get goosebumps when the Bass from F4 comes in! 😍😍
Smiles everywhere. Thank you for this little gem.

Particularly if one of the quartets isn't a barbershop quartet. :)

YES - say Amen, somebody!! Loved how Fairfield Four's bass man jumped with glee when Jim got his low stuff rolling. Awesome!
Jim tried to sing a B1, but it was to deep for him, his voice just went into fry. Normally this song is a half key higher, which makes it a C2 (65hz) and Jim can sing that, though the B1 was just too low for his voice.

Of all songs this may be the most amiable song ever. Black, white, doesn't matter. We are brothers and sisters.
This is so awesome is so many ways, I can't even begin to describe it. And I'm not even a Christian!
Peace, love and harmony are always appropriate, brother.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Even a non Christian will feel the spirit Amen!

I wish i could love this art half as much as the Fairfield Four, wish i could see more of them
Wow two of my favourite barbershop quartets ever on stage at the same time
Gotta love these types of songs. So fun to listen to and so much more fun to sing.
This is SO good. Food for the soul.
That II 9 chord gets me every time
This is fun. I was there and remembered It well (my chorus kinda got curbstomped)! This performance was so much fun! Jim Henry, of course, was astonishing!
1:11 will forever have me cracking up.
Mighty Joe is something else!!!
Absolutely love this..............
I love it. I just love it.
Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!
They are coming to DC.... singing with the Alexandria Harmonizers

Daddy dropping bass
To me this is how the world should be no creed or color should be divided in the spirit .
Jims bass rattled the building! What's up with the recording? btw, love the Fair Field Four!
Is the lowest note at 1:15 a C?
I'm reasonably certain the song is in E, which would make the low note on the 5th chord a B.
Normally its a C as the key they normally do it is in F but here they did it in E so yes B is the lowest note
2021😭
👏 👏 👏😃
Alexisonfire brought me here
Aqui tem BR pourra.
Lurraini Silveira aeeeeew
Barbershop Harmony Society, who arranged this song?

Great, could have been a little heavier on the bass, but still great!
Yeah, the bass is not really coming through here, but it sounded great live.

Since when did "jordan" become " jerdan"
Petromax
Since when people had accents.
Petromax I believe Dr. Jim Henry (the other bass) did his doctoral thesis on early gospel and blues music.

It is them. Hit up their website. As members pass on, new members take the baton.
@@Wiener-Doo it’s all good, I just miss the originals.
What is the importance of your view?
When people pass on, are their places supposed to be filled or should forever be vacant.

The Grestest singing group of all time! 4:50
