Well, it's possible to watch that ten times in a row...or more. WOW
Hoover4000: Thanks! I have SIMPLY learned to just click on your posts and expect it to be great. And, it is normally very HIGH quality! I hadn't known much about Gold City, came by your post, and now have seen several of their videos.
@Heavy123890 I've been told it's always falsetto for guys when they get up that high. The thing is, Jay (the tenor here) makes it sound good either way.
Jay is great i love his voice but i am sorry but the best tenor that Gold City ever had was Brian Free but that is my opinion Jay is great though you can see how he gets into it
Amen! God is always on time for me. He is always with me even when I forget. Thank you Lord Jesus for believing in me and giving your life so that I may live. I love you Jesus. YOU and you alone are my one and ONLY Savior!
They are very much great, But i sure do miss the old guys, it's only Tim Riley left, they need these guys back (Tim Riley, Mike LeFevre, Ivan Parker, Brian Free and Gary Jones) I miss them.
Hink, it's hard to disagree. They were certainly my favorite version of Gold City, and therefore the best IMO. Perhaps of all time; certainly in that conversation.
In my humble opinion this particular version of God City, with these four, are the greatest Southern Gospel quartet to ever perform. Jay Parrack may be the greatest tenor of this era and Tim Riley is the greatest bass singer of all time. Wish they would get back together.
@DaddyHink my favorite for ever was George.. but that being said Tim wow he has been the best for a while now and can he still hit those low notes with great power.. none of this new stuff well don't want to start anything so as long as they are serving the master its all good and i will enjoy
i really like this arrangement of gold city.... but i believe Brian Free, Ivan Parker, Mike LeFevre, and Tim take the cake when it comes to the best quartet arrangment.
i haven't seen anybody, yet, that i would say are better than those four
haha lol the bass is awesome lol but forget about him lol listen to that tenor lol he was getting on it lol what an awesome group lol that tenor just amazes me lol i wish i could sing that high
@kanaan00 Yeah i know what u mean!!! but the new Gold City is pretty awesome there selves!!! i thought when Tim Riley left that they would never find a good bass again but what do u know they did!!!
In my opinion, this foursome is the best southern gospel quartet during my generation (im only 45)... during the late 80's and most all the 90's, I followed southern gospel closely and was a part of a very amateur quartet ( I *tried* bass)... Ive met and had the pleasure of seeing many quartets, so that's saying alot... those were the best times of my life, and I miss them dearly... what awesome feelings and memories =]
has someone ans your ?, according to the singing news mag. Jay is a music dir. for a Bapt Church that is in AL. or GA.but it seems like it was in GA. sorry just noticed the next post.
I think Jay is one of the all time best tenors next to Danny Funderburk. Jay also sounds the best doing a high note like that, but thats just in my opinion!
you wouldn't classify a very high voice as an alto..alto/baritone is sang lower than soprano/lead and tenor, but higher than bass...alto's don't sing high like that, tenors are here for that kind of singing...therefore, he is a tenor
only one in the group now is the lead singer all the others have changed over two of them now currently are former members of the anchormen quartet out of goldsboro nc
im 18 and of course im not into gospel as much as I was when I was a small boy..I grew up on it tho..my granpa and daddy were great. Jay Parrack became my small town churches music leader and I was shocked..they're great
In this case yes, but sometimes the order is reversed. I have no idea how the order is set, because I have seen the same quartet use both styles. I think traditionally it is the tenor on the left and the bass ends it on the right.
wow, when it comes to range, i think jay has david beat, but when it comes to tone, david's got it. its just a preference i guess. amazing voices the both of them
I have been listening to southern gospel music as long as I can remember. The first time I heard Gold City was in Seminole OK at the ball feilds. Tim Riley sang a note so low that I could not hear it,but I felt it all over my body.
Man, I used to own a number of their tapes. through the years, I have misplaced them but I've been trying to find the cd's of them. so far, I just have their "Acapella Gold" Cd. thanks for posting.
I have been listinning to southern gospel music for 30 years and have heard many groups but gold city is my favorite and tim riley is the best bass singer in this business in any music business period
Jay Parrack is at his absolute best. This is the best GCQ of all time (Jay Parrack (lead) Johnathan Wilburn (tenor) Mark Trammell (bartione), and Tim Riley (bass). I miss them!!!
Tim Riley would be a wonderful addition to the Gaither Homecoming concerts, he'd definitely bring the bass section back to it's glory, no offence to Mike Allen, Gene McDonald and Tim Duncan, but Tim Riley would boost the bass' with his veteran presence.
That is by far one of the best tenors ever in Gospel music. Don't get me wrong, I still like David Phelps and Ernie Haase but there's just something about this guy that makes him special.
Jay Parrack no longer sings with Gold City. He is a Minister of Music at Arbor Baptist Church in Fitzgerald,Gaeorgia.I met his Dad at a funeral a fewe weeks ago. He sang "The Anchor Holds", "I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You", and My Savior First of All.He sings better now than he ever has.
