  • I see that Denver passed a way at age 42. What happened? I was a little girl about 9yrs. old the first time he was at the Ryman. He sang "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling". I've never forgotten.

  • @GRANNIEBEXAR He passed away from diabetic shock if I remember correctly.

  • Who wrote this song? My dad and grandfather loved the Rangers Quartet. My grandfather was privileged to hear them sing live many years ago.

  • @Musiciloveable Yes, for several years. They were in a head on collision that killed several and left Arnold Hyles injured for life.

  • @statesmenfan According to Hovie, Denver died from a congestive heart problem no one was aware of at the time. He gives testament to that and the Godley man that Denver was on one of the Gaither tapes. I was privledged to know him for the years he was with the Rangers. He set the standard for Tenors throughout gospel music. He was a diabetic.

  • @kyldy That's Hovie and Jake before he got his toupee.

    Seriously, this is the Rangers Quartet, not the Statesmen. Standing: Arnold Hyles (bass), Walter Leverette (baritone), Vernon Hyles (lead), and Denver Crumpler (tenor). Seated: Doy Ott (piano).

  • I see big chief and doy Ott but who iare the two between big Chief and Devnver??

  • It that Doy Ott on Piano?

  • There was only one Denver Crumpler ! Sherrill Neilson tried but "Crump" was my favorite Statesmen Tenor. Sometimes I could hear reflections of the "Inkspots" another one of my Dad's favorites as well as mine. The Statesmen had it all-class and musical integrity.

  • Oh, my goodness. He was so thin. You just don't think of thin people having diabetes. Think for the info.
