Very nice! I was looking just for this song. It's even better that it comes from the Statesmen who I have always enjoyed. Very Good. I'm glad that we can cast all our cares on the Lord!
Who cares who you think is best, who hits the highest note or the lowest note - I would be willing to bet anything that these men and those from other groups were much more interested in lifting high the name of Jesus while they sang His praises then they were in who was the best. It is about Jesus, not us!

The man in the first verse; the bass. Isn't he one of the lowest bass vocalists in Gospel music history? I saw a short biography on Gospel Music channel 1-2 years ago and he ( lowest bass vocalists in Gospel music history). But he was much much older. What's his name?
I don't believe it was Big Chief in the documentary. You're probably referring to JD Sumner. While Chief is my favorite bass, JD could go lower, but I prefer Chief's sound over JD anyday.
The reason I know that you're not talking about Chief is that he didn't get much older than this. He died at age 50, so this is probably only a few years prior to his death.
The legendary lowest bass sing in Southern Gospel Music was the late JD Sumner of: Sunshine Boys, Blackwood Brothers, Stamps (backup for E Presley) and the Masters V.
Chief sang this an octave lower on the recording. Sounded better and he handled it with ease, so I don't know why he brought it up. Enjoyed it, thank you.

JD Sumner sounds more like the man I am thinking of. Thank you!

Most of my video comes from Gaither videos that I have on my hard drive.
What A Happy Time - The Statesmen Quartet Vol's 1-3
The Statesmen Quartet With Rosie Rozell :: Glory Road
The Statesmen An American Classic.
You should be able to find these at the Gaither store, note the word should, they are quite old so I don't know if they are still around.
