  • his voice is so powerful!

  • O JD SUMNER SEM DÚVIDAS NENHUMA FOI O MAIOR BAIXO QUE JA EXISTIU!!!!!!

  • I met him once years ago at a concert after the Elvis years, and he was so kind and gentle! I sure do miss him in the Gaither concerts, thankful he left music behind, he passed on not not long after this,that's why people were so emotional, he was so ill, but a man of his word. Thank you Lord, for loaning us JDS!

  • This always makes me cry when he sang this esp after his passing, love you JD God allowed you to bless me so many times!!

  • Very fortunate that I was able to see him perform live. It was an incredible night. I don't think I will ever hear a bass voice like that ever again. He was shaking the rafters with some of his lowest deliveries. Unreal.  God bless you, JD. When I get to Heaven, I want to find you and hear you sing again.

  • One of a kind, fantastic !

  • JD Sumner was a wonderful man. My late husband was his business manager for a while. We traveled with JD and the Stamps, stayed in his home, and loved him so much. I will never forget him or get over his death. My husband went home to be with the Lord and I know he and JD are having a ball. I miss you Big Daddy.

  • he should have been so happy there where no organs in his funeral ^^

  • simply amazing considering that he was near his deathbed when this was recorded, He was not feeling well at all, but always the man of his word, he made his appearance. I would have loved to have had a chance to see him sing live and just feel that bass in my soul.

  • to answer the question about the ring it was

  • to answer the question about the ring it was he told elvis that he would never take it off and he was buried with it on his hand

  • que EL SEÑOR lo tenga en SU gloria. gracias por todo, JD.

  • that voice... incredibly low before he even sings O_O

  • Doea anyone knoe why his voice issoo deep

  • @wetr1234 cos God made it that way I guess

  • Which video is this from? I'd like to get myself that DVD.

  • Would have loved to met JD. What a wonderfun man. He's singing with God now. We will always miss him.

  • So Very Touching!

  • Wow. How eloquent. You cant watch this and remain dry eyed.

  • FANTASTIC...JD.SUMMNER.WHAT A VOICE.RIP.

  • This really Blesses and Encourages Me!

  • I didn't know J.D. Sumner but, He seems to be such an humble man. This son makes feel so happy that death is not our enemy. Because he have a brand new house waiting for us in heaven. I'll see you brother J.D. when I get home!

  • I will see you J.D. When I get there!

  • Brother J.D. I will see You some sweet day!

  • This Song I listen to over and over again it ministers to me in such a powerful way. J.D. Sumner must have been a wondrful man.

  • This is a very deep moving and touching song! I regret that I never got to meet the late Brother J.D. Sumner.

    Rock Lane - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

  • interesting...this is the first time I've heard JD Summer, I'm used to listen russian basso profondos. But this whole new kind of low bass its not bad at all, his voice...well he has a nice voice, just perfect for this kind of music. Thanks for the post and he seems really inspired and I think thats why video is very good.

  • Sensacional

  • Sensacional

  • Sem Comentários

  • Aqui no Brasil existe muitos que esperam encontrar J.D. no céu e ouvi-lo cantando ao mestre amado.

    É Elvis você tinha razão em ter inveja desta tremenda vóz.

  • BRAVO! J D RIP  J.D.

  • I've listened to this many times. It never ceases to stir my heart. This is a very special piece. Thanks to the Gaithers, who have blessed us with many treasures in music and artists. But few can equal the touch of J D.

  • You know what's crazy is I can actually hit notes lower than this song, I'm not sure if he can go lower but he was in the records as the lowest singer for a while. I wonder if I can get that record...I can hit a double low B

  • he could hit lower than double low c i think he called it o c

  • @bcgabriot wa a double low c in blessed assurance.

  • do angles have deep voices?

  • there's just none no better

  • jd sumner the lowest bass singer in the world. cstanchik

  • amen

  • amazing !!

  • This song, was written and sang for Elvis. JD was wearing his ring and sending his personal message to all who love and are looking for Elvis. ' The one who didn't past away.., who lives in this old house...'

  • I miss this JD Sumner...wish to meet you one day at the time...

  • Notice the big ring, did Elvis lend it to him for the show? Elvis wore this ring on the Aloa concert and i have seen it worn by someone at the Obama Inaugaration ( was this man Elvis). Was this song a message from Elvis ( He is still living in this old house). Enjoyed the song JD RIP.

  • foii um honra ter o privilegio de poder ouvir

    jd samner cantando tenho serteza que Elvis

    teve tambem o orgulho de velo cantar

    o melhor bass do mundo.

  • He really sings for Elvis Presley, didn't he. Elvis lives!

  • Is that ring elvis's. Is he really dedicating the song to his budy Elvis with the message that Elvis is still living in this old house. Who wrote the song? was it Elvis. Thanks JD. Fantastic.

  • Nice Ring JD, god bless you. Thanks

  • Spendide voix. Impressionnant

  • Well done JD, your a star. Fantastic.

  • amen, god bless you J D.

  • What an inspiring song, no one can do it like J.D., Rip. And yes, he sings like an angel....even God has a tear..

  • Please don't let this video disappear !! I believe this man and this song could save the worst of all sinners!

  • Sometimes a song is written through direct inspiration from God - I believe that this is one example. I am deeply touched every time I listen to this song.

    I know God also could have walked out from my "house" but, thanks to His amazing grace, He is still here!

  • Wouldn't it be great if Elvis could have been sitting on tha couch with JD when he sang his last song to his friends at the Gaither gathering? RIP JD

  • Wouldn't it be great if Elvis could have been sitting on that couch with JD while he sang his last song?? RIP JD

  • I lost my dad november 20th 2009 this was one of his favorite songs. He is in heaven now with J.D and I know he is shouting his heels off. And God willing I will join him one day, I love you and miss you so much Daddy your son Tommy

  • Mörk röst =)

  • I dont have word....

  • I just love the music of the Lord. JD Sumner was so funny, but when he sang this song oH my GOD how can one not just cry. I love u JD Sumer I'll see u in heaven one day!

  • J. D. was a star in his own right, and it says it all that Elvis had him tour with him. Watching this just helps me better understand why. God bless you, J.D.

  • marvelous!

  • My Heart Weeps with tears of joy !! God Bless You J D . I Wish I knew how to make a copy of this ! but it will remain in my heart forever! Thankyou for sharing !

  • JD had such a voice! I'm a simple man, but this is like listening to angels. Take care.

  • If this is what being a simple man is about, may we have more simple men! Praise the Lord for good men in this old world!

  • This is like listening to angels singing. JD god rest your soul.

  • Lindo, lindo, lindo, sem mais a declarar.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. Alot of great singers in this video have gone home. JD, Brock Speer, Rex Nelon, the Goodmans, Les Beasley, Hovie Lister, Jake Hess, George Younce. Their voices have been stilled for us on Earth, but to borrow a title from Mr Brumbley "I Can Hear Them Singing Over There."

  • alot of good singers on that video that have been called home. love to see JD and Rex Nelon, Brock Speer, Hovie Lister, the Goodmans, George Younce, Jake Hess, Les Beasley. I know i am missing some. the song "I Can Hear Them Singing Over There" was running through my head during that whole video. What a choir i am going to join one day. I can see all of them in Heaven rejoicing as they did on Earth without the worldly hindrances. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS.

  • What a day it is going to be when we get to look on Jesus and all the homecoming singers will be in concert unending I imagine. lol

  • les beasley is not dead...yet

  • AMEN

  • incredible.

  • what a voice...God bless him for using his God given talents for the Lord

  • Gosto demais de quarteto, depois q vi este video notei q quarteto é muito mais do eu imaginava é COMUNHÃO.

  • i love j d sumner but you might want to check out his brother.. he has a great testimony.. awesome... you ought to listen to it..what a ministry///

  • are you talking about Donnie Sumner? because donnie is not his brother he's his nephew

  • thank you for the correction...i didnt know.. but they still are awesome.. thanks for the info.. nice to know that someone is really working this. GOD BLESS YOU. STANTHEMAN

  • His brother was my grandfather RH Sumner. He passed away last year in April.

  • jd not only sang from his heart, he touched our hearts as well.

  • Oh my, another one to add to my favorites. JD always seemed so crusty to me, but Lord bless him, he broke my heart with the depth of his emotion and my heart can do nothing but respond with love and tears. Thank you again Hoover for your ministry.

  • he broke the record for the lowest voice lol

  • amazing, awesome and absolutly fullfilled with love and trust in god....i never bevore listen such a powerful message

  • i watch this video again and again and again and i can tell you j.d touched my soul and i love him... elvis presley and j.d are close together in heaven...thanx a lot for posting and sharing

  • He dose a great job on this song. I have never listened to this before. I had to get the lyrics. powerful message.

  • Is that the ring that Elvis gave him_?

  • yes

  • @hoover4000

    WOW!!

  • @emendez yes it is he never took it off he was buried with it on it was his word that it would never leave his hand

  • @emendez .....yes that was the ring Elvis gave him.

  • i can just see my vocal coach watching this video and yelling at the screen about his hunched posture but he does have beautiful vibrato on his (extremely low) notes

  • everytime i hear this song i'm crying...

  • When JD sings "The Lord Still Lives in this old House" check out the rock on his finger given to him by his friend Elvis Presley! bt

  • good eye. southernbelle.. this actually is one my most favorite songs. I can listen to it over and over. I hope sincerely that as I live my life, others can see God thru me. and that at the end, I hope I made a difference to someone.

  • Beautiful

  • thank God Heis still living in this old houe

  • que bella cancion me motiva y me anima a amar mas a mi Salvador jesus

  • Thanks so much for this amazing song!God bless you!

  • Hoover - you post the BEST. Thanks.

  • WOW!!!!!!!!! what a song, JD was realy great on this song. Thanks so much for sharing this.

  • wow, and at the ending, when Bill's naming off a few of the people, Les and Naomi are the ONLY ones who are still living out of the list of people he named off!

  • Exactly. Thank goodness for these Homecoming videos where their music and their faith still reaches people..

  • This is a very special song, and J D was also special singer

  • My goodness.. Watching this video and seeing so many of the 'friends' that have gone on Home to Glory really brings it home that the message of this song says it all. God loves us and sticks in with us when the going seems impossible. We can't see Him holding us when we are in the storm, but when the storm is over, we can sure see that He kept us safer than we could have ever known.

  • this song was 1 of the staples of almost each of our impromptu jam sessions. i loved it then, and i love it now. if i had any questions to that fact i can look in the mirror and see the stream of tears that flowed once again. mr sumner was indeed an incredible singer and will always be 1 of my favorites forever. i just hope that elvis he and i can gather around the golden piano and sing all the old gospels together someday. i miss them both.

  • watching this vid again aftr so many years has helped me 2 remember the love i have for gospel music thanks in large part to elvis and dear ol' jd. watching this vid helped in remebering the times of gathering around the piano with my heavy metal/hard rock band and our friends in the old days, singing all of the southern gospel favorites as elvis and jd did often together.

  • Did JD sing this song about his friend Elvis?  I think he did and they cut the name out of the video.

  • I don't think so.. I have seen the whole dvd..

  • this song is NOT about Elvis Presley. It's about JD himself. "In this old house" is JD's body. C'mon man... need to think like a writer every once in a while.

  • ok lol I have no idea what I was replying to.. love this song.. glad I have it on dvd as I would have worn out a tape by now.. lololI would highly recommend everyone getting the Homecoming videos-Jerusalem and Israel.. Amazing--both the music and all the places they filmed it...King David's Citadel, and the Sea of Gallilee etc. It is the closest I will ever come to the Holy Land

  • I know heaven's angels are in glory to have JD singing with them.KJV PSALMS 66:1-2 Make a joyful noise unto God,all ye lands:Sing forth the honour of his name:make his praise glorious.

  • I love to hear anything that jd sings

  • amazing song...and an amazing man!

  • yesterday marked 10 years since J.D. died

  • That´s why Elvis loves him!!!!!

  • Has anyone ever heard the Blackwoood brothers album He the pearly gates will open? JD does a wonderful piece on a story of a little girls death. Cecil Blackwood is singing on it. I was checking out all that have left us! sigh Bill needs to do another 2008 or 09 homecoming with the rest!

  • there is a video of the special oldtimers but I can't find it now! It is the Gaithers with the old folks some who are now gone. Anyone know it?

  • Absolutely the greatest bass singer of all time. You are missed greatly, J. D.

  • i can't stop crying they are all missed

  • Love this song, and I'm really good friends with the songwriter of this song! Bill Burns! RIP Mr. JD Sumner

  • I have never seen or heard such a touching testimony...There wasn't a dry eye in the house....Rest in peace Mr. Sumner...

  • BEAUTIFUL Makes me cry

    Jim

  • I haven't heard this in years. God bless you Brother JD, Until we meet at the gates of heaven. I shed a tear for this one, thank you

  • Would be amazing to live a long full life and this be your testimony at the end.

  • I listen to this every day; it is my inspiration. It touches my soul and draws me nearer to GOD every time I hear it. God Bless JD Sumner. The Angels rejoiced when JD joined them.

  • you-re still amazing....thank you all....

  • r i p old man.....

  • This is really a touching song. Hopefully we'll hear it live when we join J.D. and the King in heaven :)

  • i like that deep base voice...cool.

  • Mark Lowry had a lot to do with leading him to a real walk with Jesus in the years before he went onto Glory-land. I can listen to this song over and over and cry every time. This is one of my favorite true gospel message songs.

  • GOD BLESS YOU J.D . ive known of you all my life and youve never ceased to amaze me.truely you were gods gift to us.

  • JD went to sing for GOD and the ANGELS, WE enjoyed him as long as we could......

  • God bless J.D.; I not only loved him for his singing, but he was such a loving and giving person as every singer in Gospel Music that knew J.D.says! God thank you for this man.

  • Yes, I return to this page regularly. At 72 years of age, we do start to think of the end coming in the not too distant future, and I hope to hear J D sing in person again on that day.

  • What a powerful message'from a powerful voice.I thank God For the message & the messenger.I find myself coming back to this song often,for consolation in daily life.Thank God for JD Sumner.Maybe gone ,but will live for ever in song

  • Ronald Emory Beeson?

  • What a message,and what a messenger God blessed us with.JD Sumner  Thank you for this message.

  • Elvis and JD singing in Heaven.

  • I hope Elvis is there, I' know JD is.

  • JD was alive and yes I did meet him.

  • I'm afraid you're wrong. JD was alive attended the Collingwood Elvis Festival and I had the pleasure of performing for him as he was a judge.

    Why would I want to lie??

  • What a song. Yes the Lord still lives in us. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. Thankyou my dear brother Hoover. and may God bless all listening to this.

  • This video and song hits a lot of things home to me atleast. We should be more faithful to God.

  • I am blessed beyond belief and moved to tears everytime I listen to this song. God bless JD Somner and all of you.
