I wouldn’t expect anyone to see this comment but the man on the piano is named little jimmy Taylor (Jimmy). He was my papa and he passed 8 years ago. It was a sad time but I know he is standing in fromt of the Risen Lord and Savior
Believe it or not the piano player is my papa!! Little jimmy Taylor. He went to be with the Lord 8 years ago I miss him a lot but because of these videos he feels close.
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 :))
Yep. Unfortunately some of us bass singers nowadays just try to produce those deep notes like that G#1 he was singing by basically pushing the mic up to our lips. But WOW can he really sing in the bassment AND have that volume! That’s a rarity nowadays!
@@knowmusicman157 yes, I was joking. A lot of basso profundos sound good in very acoustic settings. Lots of reverb. They don't sound very full and powerful anymore when you put them in a normal room.
This London Parris is great, he didn't need to get so close to the microphone for us to hear him, he has such a volume, please, if you have any more videos with him upload them:) I know he trained BASS Tim Duncan from the Ernie Haase and Signature Sound and he did a great job:)
Boy, this brings back lots of great memories. London was great! I've heard him in concert many times ever the years. He was always a favorite on the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion stage in later years too. Thanks for a great "blast from the past"! MoJoPiano
As I know of, if we're talking about coaching, London Parris trained Tim Duncan because they were neighbours, and Tim just had his voice changed years ago, so he had a good coach because now Tim is also a good bass singer
London also coached Jody Medford (a former kindgom heirs and anchormen bass singer ) and from what I heard from him at the national quartet convention this year I'd say London did a pretty good job with him
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.
Yes, London is great, but what amazed me about this song is the chromatic run Hamill does in the second verse. I've been around SG music for about 35 years and I don't recall having heard anything quite like that.
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."
Don't think its a chromatic run - just a straight run down the scale of G major: starting on G above middle C, it goes G, F sharp, E, D, C, B, A, G, F sharp, E, D, B, C.
It doesn't seem like there are as many powerhouse bass singers like there used to be. the up and coming guys are doing a good job holding up the tradition. Aaron McCune is doing a darn good job in terms a really powerful bass singer. Tim duncan can hit that low A but can't really dance around on it like Aaron can. I like tim's sound. Reminds me of George. Aaron i see as a cross between rich sterban and Tim riley. It will be interesting to see them grow older and possibly lower.
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.
I also meant "Why don't they sing low bass in other genres?". Yes, but there's no need for bass singers to sing as low as some of these guys (although I like it when they do).
true has well you see that his mike is not close to the other mikes and he is the only one singing in this mike so they can let that mike be higher volume on him
I'd say yes. Today's bass singers have a lot more music to compete with. Listen how easy the upper voices sing while London is doing his leads. Today's tenors and lead singers do not do this. They will sing hard relying on the sound system to balance up. Listen on the end of this song when the trio sings a little louder they drowned London out a bit. Tim may fair just as well.
Why is it almost solely in gospel/christian music that such low bass notes exist? Is it because such singers feel that they have to thank God for being able to sing so extreme? :D The lower the note, the closer to God you come. Although, that downward direction isn't exactly pointing to heaven, haha.

Look how far away he is from the mic and still producing that sound!!!!! That is awesome!!!
Pp

Amen praise the Lord
just look...LOOK how far away London is away from that mic, and it's STILL hitting that hard...he was SO awesome!!
London Paris was incredible and a young Jim hammill could sing as pretty as any when he wanted to. Thank You!!!
This is the first time I have ever seen London Parris sing. It has confirmed what others have said regarding his amazing voice.

London always like that:)

You’re a mic?
@@thescarletandgrey2505 go back and study grammar. The subject of his statement was "guys" not microphones.
That's some great piano playing too.
He was awesome. I was fortunate to hear him at the GOGR the last few years before he passed away and he was amazing in person!!!
Depth and power with smoothness. Nobody had London’s combined skill set!
Octavist do
@@crunchycrackers7364 London obviously king of this song). And yea London was basso-profundo)
@@crunchycrackers7364 he is talking about southern gospel bass singers. Not opera.
@@knowmusicman157 yes, I was joking. A lot of basso profundos sound good in very acoustic settings. Lots of reverb. They don't sound very full and powerful anymore when you put them in a normal room.
I have heard him sing it when we used to sing along with record player many, many years ago!!! LOL!
I love that song!

I have video on him, I just find low notes that he sings. Somebody just really like hearing his
Lows.
I just discovered these guys thanks to you tube! They are amazing!!
Man these guys were great!!! That Bass is awesome!!!
Back in the 60's I was the Director of Tampa Youth for Christ. We had the privilege of having them several times. What wonderful memories!
Did you ever run into Billy Graham? He was in Bible School there so he could goof off and play golf.
London Parris RULES!!!
I know the Lord will call me if I.....and my feet are gonna rise from the ground. What are the missing words. I can't make them out.
Shun the wrong I think is what he’s saying
Baixo muito bom ! o Quarteto também Show
Hey, thanks for all these videos. They're a real treat for me since I'm too young to have seen or remember a lot of them.
Boy, this brings back lots of great memories. London was great! I've heard him in concert many times ever the years. He was always a favorite on the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion stage in later years too. Thanks for a great "blast from the past"! MoJoPiano
He was very low?
I love the bass man.
Actually Tim Duncan (SSQ bass) recorded this when he was with Poet Voices (on "Timeless" CD).
Dean, I still have this one on vinyl! I would like to hear Will sing the bass on this one!
Jason, The current rebels Quartet has it recorded on Bibletone CD.
One more point. Parris trained, Tim Duncan sings this very song when he was with Poet Voices. That CD is very very hard to find, I am still trying.
Wonderful!!!!
Request: London sings I Want To Get Closer in the blackwood brothers...
GOD bless You

Nice song. It would be nice to see what a new group like Ernie Haase and SS could do with it.
didn't they sing with the Harvesters I have them on a record but wonder if there is any video thanks
Man London and JD were….just freaks of nature. Vocal cords 5 feet long. All the originals, the best ones are all gone now.

Rip london
yeah...but JD wasn't nearly as clear on those low notes...there's a crispness in London's voice, much like Tim Riley or Jeff Chapman these days...
1:22 Ab2, next the Ab1 a lot.

Anyone have any Ideas at all about what year this Video was made? I'm guessing 60's.

JD was the best, but London was no slouch!
London was a lot clearer and crisper than J. D.
JD was a bit lower but London had a clearer sound and was a better singer.
I wonder if Tim Duncan can do this if he had to use the old mike!?
Probably not
WOW london has some rip. it seems so easy
Are you talking about the bass Will Adkins? If so, are you related to him?

His bass was so brutal.. 😅

The lower the note, the closer to God you come. Although, that downward direction isn't exactly pointing to heaven, haha.
I would vote no....
He was of the lowest bass singers
