  • Dean, I still have this one on vinyl! I would like to hear Will sing the bass on this one!

  • I have heard him sing it when we used to sing along with record player many, many years ago!!! LOL!

  • Nice song. It would be nice to see what a new group like Ernie Haase and SS could do with it.

  • Actually Tim Duncan (SSQ bass) recorded this when he was with Poet Voices (on "Timeless" CD).

  • That guy is a true bass singer. He's at least a foot from the mic (made with 1965 technology) and my walls are rattling as I play this. I like the newer guys, but let's face it, they swallow the mic (I know because I am one of them :))

  • It just seems to me that today's quartets can not match the harmony and fast rhythms of the old quartets like the Blackwoods, Rebels, Stamps, Statesmen of the 50's and 60's.

  • A chromatic run (in harmony nonetheless) that is cool can be found on the Stamps song, Joshua, found on I believe their Top of the Stamps lp. At least I remember it as a chromatic. It is at the very end of the song on the word "down."

  • Close, you have the scale right, but it is in Ab instead of G. :-)

    I will make another post telling of a place to find a chromatic run (in harmony nonetheless) that is cool.

  • Man these guys were great!!! That Bass is awesome!!!

  • Wonderful!!!!

    Request: London sings I Want To Get Closer in the blackwood brothers...

    GOD bless You

  • My favorite bass now is Ray Reese. Ray is a good sound singer and doesn't get the attention he deserves.
