The Statesmen Quartet - Jubilee

Big Chief is featured again on this fast paced song. As usual he hits each note and word perfectly. The video looks out of sync with the audio in the beginning, but after looking at the copy this was taken from it's the same.

I know this song is on Statesmen Encores on Skylite records w/ Rosie on tenor. It may also have been released as a single.

That's what I've heard. I'd love to be able to go back in time & witness that. To hear Rosie sing "O, What a Savior". To Jake's smoothe leads, Doy's sweet tone, & Chief's booming voice. Yes, I hope in Heaven that there's a stage just for all these groups that have gone on to be w/the Lord.

Denver, Jake, Doy, Big Chief, and Hovie, the best lineup the Statesmen ever had.

I like gospel that's more like big band (like the Statesmen, for example), and less like country. It used to have its own distinct sound, but now, a lot of times, it just sounds like country with clean lyrics. This is wonderful stuff!

Chief's voice was so smooth and rich! I really love how he could hit the low notes and the high notes with such fineness.

Thanks for another video of this wonderful and best group of the Statesmen!

I myself am too young to have been blessed with seeing Denver Crumpler perform, but I have seen the rest of this lineup on multiple occasions. Let me tell you, no video or recording comes close to displaying the artistry and explosive energy of a live Statesmen performance. I sure hope there's a corner of heaven dedicated to gospel reunion concerts!

Another great Statesmen video. I was so born in the wrong era. I'd love to witness them in their prime. Chief's voice is VERY moving :)
