Gold City Quartet

[smn76]

Sadly, less than two years after this video was recorded, the only remaining member of this group is Danny Riley, the group manager and son of the group owner..... All the rest are gone.

[Rubiglo]

Yes Gold City is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[magnatadamafia]

Muito bom igual ao the king herald´s...

[x333bailey]

love gold city. i went to see them recently.

[georgeandersonjr]

i just saw them in sanford,florida may 17th,they rocked the building and i kid you not,when aaron was singing his voice reverberated throughout the building and rattled the seats we were sitting on.i believe he is the best bass singer to come along in years,and gospel music history will record him as one of the best bass singers in gospel music history,other than j.d. sumner of course.

[georgeandersonjr]

a footnote here,aaron mccune was and is the perfect replacement for tim riley.their singing is almost identical,perhaps aaron is a bit lower than tim.

[stone5206]

i was so there at sminole i got videos of them when they sang its still teh cross truth is marching on and some of the other groups that night i just havent put them on here yet

[Csitsler]

So was i...it was an awsome time!!!!

[sggirlgc]

the original was better but this is still awesome

[adamwva]

i think aaron is gonna go down in gospel music history as one of our greates bass singers !!!1

[alexmatchim]

aaron rocks, but my favorite still has to be riley. i'm sure aaron will become a great(er) bass as the years go by. i cant wait to hear what he soinds like 10 or 15 years now, even later.

Just a note, when comparing, and theres nothing wrong in comparing talent for the thruth of the matter is that some have a more generous natural talent than others, it will be good to remember the age, and time. I would compare this young bass singer to the time that tim riley began. pound for pound. When this young man becomes tim's age, then we would go back and compare pound for pound. When I heard George Younce at age 17, the man had a voice, deapth aswell as range!.

[simsman1975]

Still not the same as when Ivan , Brian, Mike , And Tim sang it. Brian Free and Assurance sing the cover off of this now !!!!

Steve is okay singing this.

[ChopGaMan]

I Totally agree. When Ivan was in the group, & which I saw them several times way back then, they were the best.

[GoldCityGirl]

i absolutly love this video!!

[GVFans]

I like their sound now. They were good when they first recorded this song with Brian Free, Ivan Parker, and Tim Riley.

[thequartetman]

I have to say that this version of the group is smokin', and I don't mean the type that some churches preach against, but many members do. ;-)

As I said earlier, Steve himself cooks on this. He is so much more powerful and thick than he was when he joined. It is amazing how much he has grown. Man, he has power to burn now. Impressive. This group just might be the best Southern Gospel mens quartet around now.

[thequartetman]

I think Aaron is the best young bass out there. He is not to the level of George Younce, Tim Riley or Richard Sterban yet, but neither were any of them at his age. He is already making basses work hard, and he is still young. I look for greater things for him in the future.

The whole group is great. I loved the Brian, Ivan, Mike (or Steve) and Tim version, but these guys are great in their own way. Some of the guys are as good or better as the version I mentioned above.

[Hawkeye315]

I agree with you at that.  He isn't as good as them yet. On the contrary, I would like to hear a recording of some of them at 27. Tim Riley would be great at 27, I'm sure.

[thequartetman]

I have heard early recordings of some, and they were still good. My point is that it wouldn't be fair to expect him to be to the level they became in their prime. I think we both get that. :) Aaron is one of those basses that gives me hope in quartet music of the future.

[randyjsing]

I agree....Aaron is AWESOME for his age....he's a great bass.

[txlongarm]

It's funny you should mention those three bass singers because if you listen to McCune sing (especially Teach Me Lord To Wait), he is a mixture of those three men. I posted that on a different site a while back. He's the best young bass in my opinion.

[gotwins25]

Very true. I've had a chance to listen to just about every good young bass (Tim Duncan, Gene Mcdonald, Glen Dustin, etc.)and McCune is definitely better than all of them, especially when you consider his age.

[simsman1975]

Jeff Chapman of the Kingdom Heirs is the BEST !!!!

[goldcitylover]

I like Tim Riley, myself

[simsman1975]

Nobody is better than Younce and Riley, I just meant that Jeff Chapman is the best out there today !

God Bless

[thequartetman]

Great. Steve's sound is reminiscent of Brian Free on the original studio version. (I never heard Brian sound like that again.) Steve has come a long, long way since he started and is one of the best SG tenors out there now.

[Hawkeye315]

I agree, and doesn'n Aaron McCune sound GREAT?! This is why he is my favorite bass out there.

[fattmatt08atrcs]

I cannot believe how good this is!!
