JD Sumner & The Stamps - Just A Closer Walk With Thee

[Wellch]

Did he or his group sing with Elvis Presley?

[psycardis]

@Wellch Yes, he did, I'd link it, but it's one of the related videos on the side. ->

Not his lowest, but I love the way he does this song!

The first photo that comes up in this montage was made in Rutherfordton, NC just a few days before JD passed away in Myrtle Beach.

I can't remember if this is the one I shot, or the one a buddy of mine shot while I posed with JD.

Enjoyed seeing it here!

Thank you for the song.

I wll put it on my facebook, in memory of my dear aunt.

[newtonbrook]

Good song. Great singer.

nice low f

I met JD personally. He was a character no doubt about it. To ME, I've heard better bass singers. Range, defenitely, he holds, not as solid but he does have competition.

[raw771]

i met j d sumner and he is the all time best bass singer

[benwrong46]

This on is one of the best songs that JD has sung.

[Bravilor]

I don't think this is among his 20 "bassiest" songs...

[tcbworld]

I have quite a few albums from him and couldn't find much songs where he sang actual lead. But you're right about the amount of songs where he hits lower notes.

[jowox]

oops, JD hits a clean F1 and a Bb1 in the middle of the melody towards the end! A Bb1 as an ending note as well. from when was this?

[tcbworld]

It's from their mid 60s album "The New, Very New Sound of the Stamps", with (even) more focus on JD's bass-singing.

I will post some more of these songs soon (y)

[doublethelowc]

dude he could hit the F3 below the piano

[biglhot75]

@doublethelowc Wouldn't an F3 be up by the middle C.

[Elvisfan10]
