    I am 73 years old and have loved J D Sumner since I was a teenager. Still listen to him for hours at a time. The few that have surpassed his lowest note have done it barely, using low range microphone pick-ups, largely unavailable at JD's time, and in the vocal "fry" type of sound. Although he has been gone nearly 25 years, it is my humble opinion that he had the most mellifluous, usable low range ever.

    When Elvis was on Stage, he always introduced his Band and Back up Singers, I remember JD especially at the end of How Great Thou Art, J D would go, Ohooooooooo real low. That is how we got to know who was on Stage with him, Elvis loved Gospel, that was his favorite Songs to Sing, he loved Singing all his Songs especially Gospel, they were Elvis’s Musical Family and Friends, especially JD and the Stamps, and Jordanaires and Joe his Manager and his group. They all had So much love and respect for one another, and always had so much fun.

Came to my grandparents house for dinner after a concert before they left and what not. I can still smell his cologne when he would pick me up as a child and his boots. The same with Ken turner who passed away this year.

    Very nice, thank you. This is one I have long wanted to visit. Lucky you got to meet him and thank you for encouraging others to learn about JD. I got to meet and have a good talk with Shirley (his daughter) and that is as close as I got! I was also blessed to meet and speak many times with his nephew Donnie, another great singer people should look up! Fun fact, Shirley was married to Stamps member Ed Enoch.

    He went to my grandfather’s church in Lakeland FL. He was a family friend and took my mother on a tour of Elvis’s Lakeland hotel room in 1976.

    Yes me and my ex husband met JD in Douglas Georgia “back a few month after Elvis passed away that was 1977 he was there with his wife , Ronnie Mac-dowel with Ronnie singing the song The King is dead l believe that was the name of it “ or maybe instead of “ is dead it might have been “is gone” I think it was “ is dead “ but my ex and l got to have JD all to ourselves because we arrived at the Park before anyone else 😊 he was so nice just as down to earth as he could be l took a few pictures of him he and I laughed about an incident of me holding my camera backwards “ JD said with that low baritone voice of his “ why your going to take a picture of your eyeballs holding the camera that way lol 😂 his wife came out of the TCB bus to meet us “ she was also very nice “ we asked him so many questions about Elvis and JD life with Elvis ‘ ‘ he spoke so fondly of EP, you could tell he thought a lot of Elvis as a friend, thank you for your video it was very well done 🙏🕺👍

      @@Whittdocs when the blackwoods first started coming to Michigan to what they call Saturday night? Singings The blackwoods were just starting out and my mom and dad had them in their home several times and fed them cuz we always went to the gospel. Singings JD was a terrific man and as you said, he had a great sense of humor and he was very warm. But southern gospel singers in southern singers are a lot friendlier than the pop stars and they're always very cordial to their audience and people in them and they are just they were just part of them. New JD personally and it was a privilege
