[@fpoasec]

Terrific voices, especially at their ages. At the time of this performance their ages were ... Bill Shaw, 66 James Blackwood, 71 Cecil Blackwood, 56 JD Sumner, 66

[@Paul-gs8qx]

I grew up listening to these guys GREAT SINGERS!

[@chrisjaybecker]

The criminally underrated Bill Shaw on tenor.

[@junebug19461]

Loved hearing him sing.

[@herecalico]

It's hard to believe they are all gone now. as in the last year we just lost Bill Shaw and Jackie Marshall. They are reunited in Heaven.

[@georgeskinner8443]

So sad they are all gone now.

[@magnoliamomh8953]

And I have to say, Heaven's choir is going to be FULL of FUN and laughing, cutting up. These guys loved to have a great time serving the Lord. That will never change. Hallelujah!

[@danpiano1]

Jackie Marshall was one of the greatest pianist to ever play gospel music!

[@suebadmoccasin7557]

😊

[@jennam6865]

These are my distant cousins and I’m very proud of what they accomplished

[@maverickdh62]

What a voice J.D. had! Never been another like him! He was also one of the funniest people ever! What a character!

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

Back in the day....i went to every qt. Sing in Tampa Florida... I had a Qt. The Echo Aires in Tampa and we had the privilege of seeing you on stage when the blackwoods and en the Statesmen were there. What a Joy to stand by JD and sing bass on 2 songs. WOW what memories!!

[@janetweaver7809]

This brings so many memories. I love it. Love J.D. Sumner.

[@bobparker319]

First time i have seen Jackie Marshall in forever!

[@crestbaptistchurchcrestoni2641]

I just discovered that Jack died on August 27, 2018. He lived across the street from me in Memphis in the 50's/60's and the Blackwood Brothers' tour bus would occasionally pull up for a visit and probably rehearsal at his home. Good memories! www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/tuscaloosa-al/jack-marshall-7974238

[@sarahthornburg894]

SWEET MEMORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND NOW !!!!!!!

[@renegarza3704]

nothing like good old gospel music can bless our spirt all praise and glory be to Lord of Creation

[@TakersMissy]

AMEN!!!!! :-)

[@jeanniedeason3959]

Love these guys. I met them a couple of times over the years. Just love them.....God Bless you

[@preacherman1338]

Totally Marvelous. This concert brought back so many precious memories of going to the All night singings and being blessed as a teenager by the great Blackwood Brothers Quartet. Thanks for posting.

[@GlennOutland-me2yr]

How wonderful, I saw this same group in 1952 at Brooks stadium in Paducah KY. I was 8 yr. Old. they were superstars to us. They sang until 3 am .thanks for making this available.

[@stevenkitesr1788]

Great music and videos I could sit and listen to gospel music all day I love yalls I love you you do good job god bless you

[@toro613]

J.D is so inspirational. I love his voice and the personality he had. May all the Blackwood Brothers rest in peace. Too bad I never got to see them in person, they died before I was old enough to know who they were. : ( But their memory lives on through me and I'll make sure to allow them to live on through me.

[@knowmusicman157]

JD invented the tour bus, microphone for each singer, National Quartet Convention, 500 songs, Guiness book lowest bass, Grammy’s with Elvis

[@larrydewein5715]

The BEST Quartet EVER in Gospel Music is James Blackwood and the Blackwood Brothers Quartet with this personnel!!! I have been listening to them for well over fifty years!!

[@assievanderwesthuizen6314]

+Larry DeWein I cannot agree with you more! I also started listening to them round about 1959, on their LP record "The Old Country Church", and still enjoy them. And of course, the late JD Sumner was a remarkable "phenomenon" - his voice was remarkable, and so his sense of humour.

[@fpoasec]

+Larry DeWein Agreed. This was the best lineup.

[@jameslamson5092]

+Larry DeWein ne of the greatest for sure. I also like the Chuck Wagon Gang, The Gaither Crew, and Statesmen, and , uh, yes, many more just turn me inside out and lift up and recharge my spirit and all I can do is , well, just praise God for His great creation, and making man in His image? Just thought how God would sound? I wonder how much the angels in heaven enjoy and how the Lord appreciates all the JOYFUL NOISE and beautiful!

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

love them! The GREATEST!!

[@gilroya49]

i love to waching on my computer now to listing on computer awke up in the morning and that sit in my bed watching all the time

[@jbholcom]

Great , sure miss James and J.D

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

They were the best

[@missywiley3140]

"He that tooteth his own horn, the same shall not be tooted unto him."--JD Summer's theory according to James Blackwood. LOL!

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

I miss him so. Went to hundreds of their concerts in Tampa and the surrounding Florida cities. JD Sumner was my idle at that time as I was bass in my qt. The Echo-Aires and he was definitely one to look up to!

[@CharlieRogersMusic]

these are the band that sung at gladys Presley Funeral back in Aug 14-58 well oh couse she told her son Elvis to make sure the sing at her funeral the date she died its that something history here my friends.

[@nivaldo758]

Great video and good music

[@shellyblanchard5788]

I bought their record when it came out in 1972.

[@MyMontana52]

I got their records through Word Record Club in the 60's as a teenager and listened to them over & over. Love them!!!!

[@philipkreuzer8887]

The best.

[@MargaretCHarmon1]

As much as I enjoyed the Blackwood Brothers Quartet I enjoyed the piano playing of Jackie Marshal equally well.

[@NicValSinger]

I was singing with the Statesman at this concert it was awsome to hear these guys live "MEMORABLE" !!!!

[@LeanoSamwinga]

Is that Cecil?

[@bettywhite6683]

Awesome!

[@kyldy]

Tonight Bill Shaw has joined the other heroes of the faith and singing in glory he passed on September 7 2018

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

. He was a great singer he really made those high notes scream out loud.

[@DavidRawlinsphotography]

I used to go to sleep with a stack of Blackwood brothers and Statesmen quartet and Rebels quartet record on my record player that played all night long

[@CharlieRogersMusic]

much later in the 1970s i guest they change their name and they also sung with Elvis in some of his songs.

[@MattGerhard]

Charlie Rogers Music that was J. D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet that sang backup with Elvis. The Blackwood Brothers never changed their name, or sang backup for Elvis.

[@carolmcallister1908]

I heard jd when theycame to boutwell aud in bham and he had the rafters vibrating

[@audreyjenkins5725]

Does anyone have. Recording of JACKIE MARSHALL playing UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGLE it was his very best?

[@Citrus-cd8ty]

epic

[@audreyjenkins5725]

I know Bill Shaw, James BLACKWOOD, CECIL BLACKWOOD, J.D. SUMMER'S but who is the pianist?? Oh i didnt recognise JACKIE love him and wished i had a record of UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGLE

[@kevinmiller1985]

Is that JD's secret to hitting those extremely low notes- putting his hand to his ear?

[@conrar1320]

It doesn't make him lower, but it helps him hear himself better to make sure he's on pitch

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

@@conrar1320 Exactly! The low notes come from very long vocal chords!👍✌

[@ronposey9974]

Is it just me or does J.D. appear to be inebriated? Imo Big John Hall had a voice that harmonized best with the group.

[@sammeyersburg6937]

Yes, that was his secret. He could hear what his notes sounded like.

[@saraschneider6781]

@@ronposey9974 it's just you. What a rude thing to say.

[@audreyjenkins5725]

Does anyone have a record tape of JACKIE MARSHALL playing UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGAL? IT WAS HIS BEST I think

[@gerrie7407]

can anyone tell me who the pianist was/is..?

[@herecalico]

That was Jackie Marshall who played for the Blackwood Brothers back in the 1950's.

[@hankgillette]

“Peckerwood”?

[@bttrflygal]

I had to look it up cause I knew it wouldn't mean what we would think today. It was a contemptuous term referring to a rural white southerner..
