Well, George was one of the cleanest most natural bass singers. But, JD sang it in the late 1950's with the Blackwood Brothers as a young man in his early 30's. And I hate to say it but his voice was bigger, fuller and just as clean as George's in that cut. I have all the early recordings to compare.Although, George was my all time favorite bass soloist. I ain't got none now. All the basses sound alike. I just play my records of George, JD, The Chief, And London Parris.

I still prefer him to J.D. Sumner. Granted, George couldn't hit the double low C, but who cares? George is the best overall gospel Bass there ever was.

@CathedralsRecords my grandpa is a bass singer (not a famous one) and he knew George personally. George said Tim Riley was actually deeper than him. i never realized George started as a tenor.

@moproducer According to Lee Roy Abernathy, it was not originally called "Gospel Boogie". He said that the people named it that because they would call radio stations and say, "Play that gospel boogie." So he added the subtitle "Gospel Boogie" to it. That's from a video I have on the history of Southern Gospel music showing a clip of Mr. Abernathy.

@Nashville35 @Nashville35 I've great respect for you, seeing George as your favorite bass singer. I've got no bass singer found as well. Did you got a new one in the mean time?
