A bit of trivia: the piano on this video is a Bosendorfer Imperial. It's got an extra octave in the lower register. Makes for some incredibly powerful chords!
lol...never mind! I just read the description... THIS was the best Gold City in my opinion...maybe becuase it was what I grew up with?? But, I love the combination here!! On another note, Ivan Parker is one of THE most genuine people I have ever met!! Truly a classy guy!
Oh yeah that's Jones. He is arguably the best pianist EVER in southern gospel. He PRODUCED all of the Gold City albums during their heyday. That's also John Noski on drums -- one of the best drummers ever in the biz, gospel, country, jazz, you name it.
I would agree that Brian Free is the best tenor to ever sing in Southern Gospel Music; but I don't think Danny is second. I would rate as follows: 1. Brian Free, 2. Ernie Haase, 3. Jay Parrack (if he would have kept singing), 4. Danny Funderurk, 5. Kirk Talley
To listen to how Brian Free has turned into the GREATEST tenor ever is awesome. He is truely a blessing to all who listen and have listened to Southern Gospel over the past 25 years.
