Big Chief had it all, He could sing high, take the lead, or belt out those low notes. He was really singing, and not trying to be the lowest of low's. Today's basses could learn a thing or two I think.

I remember Big Chief when he sang bass with the Sunny South Quartet in FL. I lived with my grandparents in summer and worked in the fields with my grand dad. We would come to the house for lunch and listen to the quartet on WFLA from Tampa. Horace Floyd was the leader of the group and sang tenor. We went to a concert they held ina school auditorium and I got to shake hands with al the members. My uncle studied at Stamps Baxter school and he said Jim Wetherington was the best bass he ever heard.

NICE!! This is great gospel! So cheerful, so inspirational, such nice vocal harmony. As the piano player at my Holiness Church in Alabama, I'm paying special attention to Hovie Lister on the piano here. Nice guitar playing too!

I just LOVE this video! So cheerful, sok inspirational, and such nice harmony! I play piano at our Holiness church in Alabama, so I'm getting a kick out of watching and listening to Hovie Lister on the piano. THIS is real Gospel!

I love these guys! Hovie always makes the show.

That`s what I call music. The harmony and the voices...perfect. The voice of the tenor is very amazing. Clear and pleasuring timbre. And Big Chief...that`s what I call a real basso profondo.

I was a gospel singer at one time. I've listened to both versions. The version with Crumpler on the scale is higher than the one with 0Rosie. Both were beautiful tenor singers but Crumpler just couldn't be beat.

Who's the bass singer?
poodah2013 1 year ago
@poodah2013
The bass singer was James (Big Chief) Wetherington from Ty Ty Georgia. Wikipedia states, "One of Southern Gospel's all time great bass singers, James Wetherington is remembered as a man of class and dignity.
He began his career in the late 1940s singing with the Sunny South Quartet and then with the Melody Masters. In 1949, he became the bass singer for the Statesmen Quartet and it would be with that legendary group that his name would be forever etched."
