Doy Ott was the greatest baritone to ever walk on a stage, then and now! And Rosie Rozell, well what more can you say? He was awesome! I think that John Rulapaugh is Rosie's clone
This is a classic rendition of Rosie Rozelle's trademark Mournful tenor style in which sends "chills" up and down the spine of any believer!! Love it !!
I was born in '71 so I didn't ever get to see the Statesmen in person but, since I started listening to them (since ther Gaither videos started) they are w/out a doubt STILL the standard that all quartets are measured.
I have a dear friend who was so kind as to let send me a dvd of the movie. The actors and scripts are horrible, but the singing is fantastic. I hope to put a few more up for viewing real soon.
What a classic film this is I found one copy on ebay and it was 299.00 bucks I had to leave it there ...this film came out in 1966 and was said to be the first ever for the world of gospel music ...it was truly a great film I have seen in churhes only..do you have the whole film and plan to post more later ...it is my prayer for sure.
Great video!! I especially enjoy Rosie's work on this one. Does anyone know if the movie "Sing A Song For Heaven's Sake" is available for distribution on DVD or VHS?
big Chief--probably best classic bass in southern gospel without a doubt!

Wow! They just don't have many groups like this one anymore. One of a kind.

I agree, the "Statesman Quartet" are the Gold standard from which all others formed !!
