    It's not that he's the lowest singer, it's that he has the absolute clearest notes on his lowest range, no comparison. Bellow those notes nobody can really sing, just do a sound test. No idea why he's isn't more known.

    • @TheRealJohnStephenson
      @TheRealJohnStephenson 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      +Kyle Duffy Definitely J.D. Sumner, but Ken Turner is down there near J.D.

    • @TheOktavismChannel
      @TheOktavismChannel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      +Kyle Duffy I actually think Turner brings far more integrity down into the contra octave than JD does. JD certainly tried to push it further with those low, low slides down to an imperceptible rumble, but I think Turner can actually *sing* down there with better clarity and tone than JD ever did. Both are greats of the gospel genre, though.

      +ThatKidd Mikhail Zlatopolsky actually sung double low C and could be heard among the choir. In my opinion he had the lowest voice ever, also considering his speaking voice. About Ken Turner and JD I agree with karber. I can add that JD's voice don't please me, maybe because he smoked.
