Old Low Note Compilation | JD Sumner, London Parris, Thurl Ravenscroft
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2020
- Here’s a compilation of very old low notes from three very good, but deceased, bass singers. You probably already know this but all the notes featured are chest voice. No extended techniques, although maybe a bit of fry, but chest for the most part.
I cut the video off at Eb1 because Thurl and London bottom out at E1/Eb1. The rest of the video would just be JD all the way down to C1 lol. But, there was still plenty to work with from C#2 - Eb1. I tried to use lots of old quartet clips from the 50’s and 60’s, those don’t get used too often in compilations.
I’m sure there’s at least one note I inaccurately pitched, feel free to let me know for future reference.
Thanks for Watching :) - เพลง
Thurl-Coolest sounding voice
J.D.-Lowest
London-Best resonance
Thurl 'a got the best tone and singing imo. Also he could vibrato notes like A1. The G1 you hear is off mic and live so that's why it sounds quiet.
Reuben Thomas-Yea, Its crazy pretty much all 3 of these guys could vibrato a A-G. London is probably my favorite out of there 3.
C2 or as JD called it the high notes.
His falsetto would get him to scratch into the 3rd octave 😂
@@kyandenton He can get to C#4, falsetto to A4
Yeah his highest whistle note by the way 😂😂
@@m.kostoglod7949he who? They have many men on here. You mean JD Sumner?
@@nancywood9531 Yeah, I saw a compilation video of his vocal range
Well done for finding Thurls E1
That song is pretty much Thurl speaking, and he goes down to an E1 multiple times.Espacially when he says Yeaaahhh.., sounds like a resonant Barry White .
Reuben Thomas ngl though I’ve listened to the track and the E1s are pretty poor quality. I wouldn’t consider it part of his range
@@matthewdockray9745 Their just about countable as Barry White's F#1 or Leonard Cohen's E1. As Thurl isnt technically singing, but is speaking , and that part right at the end" I'm tired, I cant sing anymore", he's acting that part. So it's hard to say, but in his prime, I think he would be able to make the E1 sound like Londons Eb1 note if he tried . Yeah that would the end of his register.
Thurl is easily my favorite his I'm the Bottom or whatever G1 is like unreasonably smooth for it being his lowest like sustained chest note plus his voice in general is just so thick and heavy its wild
He could definitely go lower in chest, probably down to F or maybe E
I like all of those 3 singers. I still pick Thurl Ravenscroft, he's been my #1 bass singer when I've first heard his voice when I was a kid (Born in 1996). From the Grinch, Nickelodeon in the late 90s, and even hear his booming voice as Tony Tiger.
WoW!!! JD JUST SITS DOWN ON AN 'E' 3XS WITH POWER!!! INCREDIBLE!!!
Thurl will always be one of my favorite bases and VA’s glad to see him getting some love
As a child, my family and I went to a gospel quartet convention in Nashville. It was the early 1970's and the concert included London Paris, JD Sumner and others. With those two, the entire coliseum shook like and earthquake when they hit their lowest notes.
I've watched this video like 20 times now xd
Oldies are the best!
Great singers. I love Thurl's clarity and control!
Loved JD 's singing is his younger days. Sounds solid. The alcohol did him more harm than good.
Wait he drank, I thought he had a deeper voice since he smoked??
Jacob Giacona he used to drink a bottle or two of whiskey right before a gig some nights to help him get lower. He drank and smoke lots
Matthew Dockray Jesus Christ
Jacob Giacona yeah he was no lightweight lol
@@White2530 Fortunately, he did regret of this.
Thats just the voice I'm looking for!
Love me some bass singers!
Good compilation!!!
O baixo preferido do Geoff aparece no vídeo!
@@ailtonsouzadearaujojunior2210 Yes, Even Geoff loves Thurl. Both Geoff's and my favorite bass.
@@ailtonsouzadearaujojunior2210 eu vi!! Desses 3, prefiro o London Parris pela ressonância.
@@reubenthomas7907 J. D Sumner and London are between my favorites (I can't get to have just one favorite bass) but I wouldn't have any problems in put Thurl between my favs too.
@@ailtonsouzadearaujojunior2210 All are legends in there own rights.
Ravenscroft is the best in my mind, all 3 are amazingly awesome
Thurl all the way! Definitely in my Top 3 Favourite Basses.
Same.
@@reubenthomas7907 What's your Top 3 man? Mine is with no particular order: No.1: Thurl Ravenscroft, No.2: Rodney Britt and No.3: Tim Riley
@@GeorgeLifterMann Thurl, Alatorre, Kurt Moll. Alatorre is my favorite choral bass. Kurt is my favorite operatic bass.
@@GeorgeLifterMann I can definitely see why you have the other two on your list.
@@reubenthomas7907 Ah, i meant Basses in styles such as Acapella or Gospel. In general (including oktavists), i have no Idea about my favourite 3. Evgeny Badanin is definitely up there though, together with Zlat.
I grew up listening to JD, London Parris, Big Chief Jim Weatherington, Rex Nelon, George Younce, Brock Speer, and loved them all. Big Chief and Rex were my favorites, but Conley "London" Parris was the best IMHO, and it ain't close.
would love a document or list of clips featured, and if not, song names, since it can be difficult to find songs in some compilations if you dont already know it.
Listening to J.D. not in the first octave made him sound like an actual human
These notes are so strong
i love the part at 2:51 were thurl hits that Bb1
the original link is th-cam.com/video/MJJuVFSq0K8/w-d-xo.html
JD went down to a C1 after sliding from C#2-C#1.
Do you have any clips that Cole didn’t use. If so could you maybe link?
@@crunchycrackers7364 Of whom, which bass?
@@reubenthomas7907-Thurl
@@crunchycrackers7364 I dont have any under C2 I'm afraid. What notes do you want?
@@reubenthomas7907-No that’s fine. Because I was looking around, and I haven’t seen any notes under G for him. I was trying to look for an F#. But I don’t know if he has any recorded. I’m just looking for low notes
Cool clips!!
Do you have a insta we could chat on?
hi Reuben, I am answering there because you asked me not to reply under that infinity comment section.
I don't know for sure but I think the guy I linked can sing until A1 in chest
The reason why we are asking so much voice voice classifications to Chris is because he is upsetting our beliefs I suppose :-) Will there ever be a way to guess a voice type without asking to Chris?
@@alebormio4842 I ask Chris to see his opinion that's all. As I've stated before, these kind of things are trivial, but hey, I just want to know what he thinks.
@@reubenthomas7907-What do you think is the lowest note London and Thurl could project? I’m interested in knowing.
@@crunchycrackers7364 G1/F#1 for Thurl,F#1 maybe F1 for London Parris, in their prime.
So, the thinner the mustache the deeper the voice.
I like all three a lot but thurl is easily number 1 for me but still thay are all awesome may thay all rest in peace
Where can I find the clip for Thurl's E1??
0:05 this song gets stuck in my head every time I hear it and you’ve started the vid with it. Gonna be a long day...
JD sounds like a much more traditional gospel bass in his C2 clips. Nice finds. You can tell even in his early days he wasn’t a fantastic singer imo. I do think that some of the clips are lip synced though
London’s resonance is mega
Nice selection
Yeah,though JD 's the lowest and London has the most resonance( Though not much diff from Thurl) in terms of singing itself, Thurl's got others beat,imo. And Thurl's my favourite solely because of his tone. BADASS.
Matthew Dockray yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if some were lip synced, but they are 50-60 years old so who knows. But some of them did seem suspect though
@@colefountain1030 Some of them were.
@@colefountain1030 I forgot to tell you this .There's actually one more A1 from Thurl at the end of Grim grinning ghosts .He does vibrato on that note
Crazy..
@@colefountain1030 Can you reply my comment? I editted that.
Jd never struggles to hit any low note.
London also!
Thurl also
2:40 is the best!!
What was that first song for London? I would love to find it

The song is "That Meeting in the Sky".
This basses are all legendary and timeless but can we take a moment to acknowledge theres a comment with 216 replies here lmao
London Parris is my all time favorite
Do you have anything of him singing "Sho do Need Him Now"?

I was named after london
0:06 what movie is this
Some of the gospel bass players with the low notes were awesome but SO low!!!! Lowest ever!!!
What is Londons first song?
Singing Through Life
What's the song at 2:54?
Dre Costa th-cam.com/video/VNd4BOoS-hs/w-d-xo.html
If Thurl never voice acted, you'd still know he had that type of voice
Are London & Thurl Chest only?
Yes, JD's C#1 is weird. Sounds like fry. Knowing him it could be chest🙂
I kinda want the name of all the songs😅😅
You’re a mean one....
2:52 thurl songs with the chipmunks!?
They haven't hit a low note yet; they're still dropping.
8:26 Song?
Kyfe Trombetta it’s on allthingsthurl.com
Where can I find 8:26
Kendall Kent from a website called allthingsthurl.com
Cole Fountain what’s the name of it?
Kendall Kent “3 part invention” I believe
Kendall Kent but I’m not sure if the link is still on the website. It may have been taken down. But all of the lows from that audio are in this or the “Thurl Ravenscroft low notes” video I made.
Cole Fountain Aw man. Okay. I wanted to hear the full song
How about Melvin Franklin from the Temptations?
He was taught by William Bobo of the Dixie Hummingbirds
If you really listen to JD, he never got to C1. Probably D#1, but he couldn't match the piano, even though he was frying his heart out. Try listening to Mikhail Zlatapolski to hear rock solid D1's over an entire chorus and a C1 to boot.
Song @7:17
Chris Petiton th-cam.com/video/QYTAmF96W30/w-d-xo.html 1:50
If you never needed the Lord before, you sho do need him now. We had the album of London singing with thd Blackwoods.
Thurls seems the fullest
Song @1:40?????
Chris Petiton th-cam.com/video/8h6d4JaPVT4/w-d-xo.html
If you listen to the Elvis song that JD sang on, he never hit the C1. Compare his voice to the piano, and it's obvious he couldn't do it. If you want to hear a true C1, then listen to Mikhail Zlatapolsky sing it over a 60 person choir.
Three profundos?
Thurl definitely. Perhaps London. Not so sure about JD
@@matthewdockray9745 London has a chest Eb1, I don't believe a tipical bass or a bass-baritone could go that low in pure chest voice, also, he had a loud low G. J. D Sumner's voice was demaged, but he also could go that low, I imagine he could that loud in his 50ies If his voice wasn't being damaged.
Reuben Thomas I don’t see how Thurl can be higher up the list than Tim, avi or even trace Adkins. Trace Adkins is a bass or sure, but I wouldn’t say he’s “lower” or darker than Thurl.
Tuukka’s mixing around D2 depends on the phrasing etc. He can venture comfortable down to A1 in full chest and has gone down to G1 in chest in a live situation too, though he says even his lowest fry notes have some sort of support on them. If he’s doing a phrase that requires him to go to say A1 with any sort of power he’d start a mix around D2
However, I also think that trying to categorise all these non-operatic singers into such specific groups is a waste of time seeing as they’re not opera singers anyway and it’s quite difficult to apply the terms to such vastly different genres of singing. Imo, baritone, bass-baritone (maybe), Bass, and profundo is all you really need when categorising low voiced male singers. Even in most cases outside of choral and operatic stuff I feel like Profundo is a sort of redundant term
@@matthewdockray9745 Exactly my friend. There's some problems in this list. Apparently Tim and Avi have more weight in their voice,hence they are classified as lower voicetypes. Timbre, range, projection, resonance are all secondary to the vocal weight that Chris is talking about.
Reuben Thomas well that list is all wrong, there’s no way for Geoff to be a light lyric baritone or Thurl a baritone. Only Tim Foust and Barry white seem to be in the right classification
Very impressive indeed!… and yet do you have to wonder; how many of these basso profundo's smoke cigarettes…? It's a known fact that smoking in your youth gives you a deep voice in your old age
Jd Sumner bass range is waaaaaaaaaay deeper than Thurl and London
they are too similar, looks like a brothers)
Thurl the oldest brother , JD in the middle and London the youngest brother.
JD could sing one octave lower than the other 2 though….
Check out William Bobo the Heaviest Basso know to man
Kendall Kent he’s great
@@colefountain1030 Please, check out Ellis Johnson (from The Harmonizing Four) and Big Joe Warren (from The Thrashing Wonders) too.
