@vipor3D I'm not offended at all. And I also thank you for mentioning Goerge Younce. He was a great bass as well. My feeling is that you can't go wrong mentioning any of these singers. That's why I said that all of them have influenced the way I approach bass singing. I have posted a few songs by my Dad. Go to The Don Taylor Singers of Leavenworth, Ks. On the song, Talk About Jesus, you will hear my Dad's bass. I'm the lead on that number. He passed a month later and I took over the bass then.

@herschelzboy JD Sumner has to be at the top of all basses. Not dissing London or your father whatsoever, though! In my personal opinion, I think the bass with the best SINGING ABILITY is George Younce, who is a legend in Gospel too.

His turntable was either not set up right, was cheap or needed a new stylus.

Man, No vocal fry AT ALL!

Unbelievable control he has that low! Wow!

This is great! Such a shame that 20 years later, only Bill Shaw is still living

Good to see Wally Varner playing still, and Good ol' London!
Hail to one of the greatest ever!

Being a bass singer myself, there are certain bass singers I have idolized in my life. My Dad was one of the greatest bass singers around (when I learn how, I will post one of his songs). I might add that my Dad performed with some of the top Black Gospel quartets of the 40s, 50s, and 60s and I have been with my group for 33 years, but my Dad had me grow up listening to London Parris and JD Sumner. These three basses have shaped the way I sing bass. Thanks for this post. I miss all three of them
