Hovie did not want ‘Chief’ to sing his lowest notes with The Statesmen because Hovie felt it detracted from the blend. So a lot of people incorrectly leave Jim off the list of low bass singers. But no one leaves him off the list of the greatest bass singers.
Since he is a very famous bass singer who can get down there, what was the lowest note ever sung by big chief/ what was his lowest note sung in this song?
Big Chief got down to a G1 or G#1 in When My Soul Takes Its Flight th-cam.com/video/xUl3J6Ea9jM/w-d-xo.html. He certainly set the standard for all bass singers, and in my opinion is the greatest bass singer of all time.
Big Chief had the lowest bass voice in that you could understand ever word he said, whereas come bass singers can get low but you can't understand the words.
Big Chief was one Fine Man with a Beautiful Bass Voice. He was my favorite with the Statesmen Quartet.
I've said it many times on TH-cam but, Chief set the standard for ALL Bass singers.
Definitely! He was the most musical of all bass singers, I've never heard an unpleasant sound from him and he always had great clarity and diction.
He had it all
Very, very deep voice on one of my favorite gospel songs. Impressive history!
He was my relative

this album was never actually finished. It was a bootleg from an unreleased master.
