The Statesmen Quartet - I Wanna Know

[joeysn7hvn]

I remember and never forgot this song from the early 80's on Gene Scott's wonderful show that degenerated into a cash cow

what albums is this on

[gospelmusiclover48]

@hobiehippo

This is on their live ablum "On Stage" from 1960 tthe Ryman. It is also on a live album they did in the late 70's after Big Chief died, "Live at the Joyful Noise" and they also recorded it in the 50's on a 45 with Denver Crumpler. It is my favorite song they ever did! But the BEST version is from the album "On Stage"

[MikeBlitzMag]

Impeccable harmonies! Kinda makes you want to get to service early for the worship segment....

[calimarton]

this song is very beutiful!

[DaManFromPlaid]

This is great to hear it done differently that on Dr Gene Scott's program - that was a LIVE clip he reused over and over. I like that one because they really sang "all-out" without holding back anything. Both great!

The Downings Operator was another clip he used to run over and over with I Wanna Know. Anyone have it? Please post! It was from 700 Club (who no longer has it! Archives were tossed out!) Scott fans may have it taped from his nightly Festival brooadcasts in the early 80's. Help!!

[gospelmusiclover48]

Doc Scott sure had good tastes in music!

[Ikebaga]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is my favorite song they did, and it was worth the wait!

[HymnTimeGospelSongs]

I just love this song...this is so cool to see the great old clip . I used to watch that preacher Gene Scott from Calf.just to see the Statesman sing this song he would have them play it over and over and over again, it was not this copy , so glad to see this.I have the record with this cut and it is also just a cool ...Thank you a million times for this one.I will be her watching this many times toi come.

[Ikebaga]

This one is better than Doc Scotts clip dont your think?

[HymnTimeGospelSongs]

I will agree you 100 percent this is the best ever.

[BassSinger36]

love it!!

[lonemapper]

I always heard that Chief was a "rhythm bass". I think this video backs that up. Fantastic!

[AmericanPride42]

The Big Chief, one of the best bass singers of all time. Bless his soul.

[CadillacL]

What charisma. Chief has the smoothest voices.
