Elvis Presley - You Better Run | REACTION

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

No. No, no, no, no, no. No. Nope. Not The Minty Fresh Imperials Seph. NOW THIS IS J.D. SUMNER & THE STAMPS QUARTET. The singers backing Elvis on this track are: J.D. Sumner (the bass singer you heard) Bill Baize Ed Enoch Donnie Sumner Richard Sterban As you get further on the members of The Stamps Quartet will change. J.D. Sumner and Elvis have a history and quite the friendship. I'll dive into ALL of that later. Right! So what you just reacted to was a studio rehearsal for 'Elvis On Tour' which took place at RCA Studio A in Hollywood, CA on March 31, 1972. Hours unknown. Producer: Felton Jarvis Engineer: Al Pachucki Musicians: Guitar: James Burton Guitar: John Wilkinson Guitar: Charlie Hodge Piano: Glen D. Hardin Bass: Emory Gordy Drums: Ronnie Tutt I'm guessing your former list guy gave you a whole bunch of these 'Elvis On Tour' 0/31/ 1972 studio rehearsal recordings. I have not heard some of these, if any, so this should be fun 😃💃 More Info Below: Traditional / Arranged Elvis Presley (Well now you'd better run) Run when I say, somebody's calling you You'd better run Run when I say, (somebody's calling you) You'd better run Run when I say, (somebody's calling you) I feel like my time has long gone Long gone, (my time is long gone) Well now goodbye false pretender Lord I cannot wait for you For the bible declares you're goin' to heaven Lord What the bible declares you do (Well now you'd better run) Run when I say, somebody's calling you You'd better run Run when I say, (somebody's calling you) You'd better run Run when I say, (somebody's calling you) I feel like my time has long gone Long gone, (my time is long gone) Long gone Well I met a false pretender Whose head was bending Lord I met him in the evening He was headed down that long lonesome road (Well now you'd better run) Run when I say, somebody's calling you You'd better run Run when I say, (somebody's calling you) You'd better run Get away from here, somebody's calling you I feel like my time has long gone Long gone, (my time is long gone), long gone Note by me: "You Better Run" is only noted as a [Traditional] song. As you can tell by the lyrics it is a Gospel song. It was first recorded on February 16, 1937 by The Heavenly Gospel Singers and was released in 1937 (the same year). But I am guessing that this song was in existence well before anyone thought to record it and most likely with many variations to both the lyrics and melody. As is the case with most of those old songs. GOLD STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 THANKS FOR SHARING AS ALWAYS 🌹💐 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕

So I've just read your and everyone else's comments. And im like WOW!!!! So we got a whole new backing group now! Insane!

[@SephPlays]

Ohhh he gave me a bunch of rehearsals.... Ok interesting choice *as ever* haha

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

@@SephPlays The Stamps stay with Elvis from this point onward. Ditto for The Sweet Inspirations. I will say again that to my knowledge The Sweet Inspirations never recorded with Elvis in a studio during a recording session. And WOW! Elvis rehearsal stuff on this Elvis 🚂💨 Say whaaaaaaa.... 😮😍🙌💃🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

JD was in the Guinness Book Of Record✌️

[@marion_R]

New to me! That was fun! I love the following story JD Sumner told. Elvis ( about 14 years old) came to the concerts of J.D. Sumner and the Blackwood Brothers concerts regularly. When he didn't appear after some time JD asked Elvis where he has been. Elvis couldn't afford the money. JD said from now on you don't have to pay any more and can come in through the back door. Later JD worked with Elvis for 7 years. He also did a tribute after Elvis death.

[@gorse9030]

As others have commented J.D. Sumner was the bass voice. Elvis greatly admired him, and made no secret of the fact, and considered him one of his greatest friends. JD took it bad when Elvis passed.

[@jjbud3124]

Elvis used to make J.D. demonstrate his lowest voice in the concerts and it sounded like a huge airplane was landing in the building.

[@senyart890]

You'll be hearing more of J D Sumner's low, low bass. It made me smile when I recognized him.

[@carriemichelle322]

How have I never heard this before?? Awesome! J.D Sumner and Elvis were so close & he loved his voice. 😊

[@debbyschultz1729]

J.D. Sumner is the low voice. In the song " Way Down," Elvis asked J.D. if he could sing lower and at that time J.D. hit an impressive double octave C!! He was a friend of Elvis' since Elvis was 14 years old!!

[@DIANEDONOFRIO]

I love that part in that song when you hear JD go ...'Way on Dooown' with that low, low, voice...they must have had so much fun singing that in the Jungle Room where they recorded it!!

[@ruthsimon7035]

I never heard this song before! JD Sumner is this low voice! Thank you Seph!

[@dcftcb7764]

👑✌️the Imperials have exited and now you have JD Sumner and the Stamps.

[@elvis78ale]

I love this one ❤

[@egonenedit9444]

Elvis il più grande in assoluto 🔝 the best the greatest Forever. Lui sdoganò il rock nel mondo. Il concerto tv del 1973 dalle Hawaii fu visto da circa un miliardo e mezzo di persone, ed all'epoca nel mondo c'erano circa 4 miliardi di individui, e poi non c'erano i media di oggi. Elvis 🔝👑⚡❤️ come Lui nessuno nessuno ciao dall'Italia 🇮🇹

[@Samua3]

Hi Seph - you definitely need to see that after concert video where they are all around the piano having an awesome time! It's wonderful! JD Sumner said that many who sing low tend to growl. He made sure he was actually singing those notes rather than growling them. Not sure if his record was broken?

[@amandarayray9340]

The guys were having a great time here, I'm glad they kept recording and captured these golden moments.

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

ELVIS MET JD SUMNER WHEN HE WAS 16 ELVIS LOVED QUARTETS - THEY WERE GREAT FRIENDS!!! JD'S VOICE IS MIND BLOWING

[@AnnemarieSwarts]

This is what Elvis most liked to do. Singing gospel off stage and venturing into bass singing. The lovely "It's Only Love" is a definite left over. Recorded and released in 1971. Also on the Elvis Back In Nashville album. Charlie Hodge, (stage manager when Elvis started doing concerts again in the late 60s) who starts off the song, is a friend from Elvis' army days. He was previously part of the quartet, The Foggy River Boys. Elvis asked him to join the group. He stayed at Graceland for many years. On stage, Charlie is just to the left behind Elvis, playing guitar, and also providing back up vocals/harmonies.

[@debralewis9737]

JD Sumner !!!! Fantastic bass singer . He was on tours with Elvis. Great , well known gospel singer.

[@djgrant8761]

J.D. Sumner (November 19th, 1924 - November 16th, 1998). J.D. Sumner was the leader of the Stamps Quartet. J.D. Sumner was a regular on the Gaither Homecoming videos until his death in 1998.

[@paulhuggett7503]

You'll find JD Sumner who Elvis called many times 'The lowest bass player in the world', featured on almost 'every' Elvis concert (and there were hundreds of them) from now until Elvis untimely death ... and even sang at Elvis funeral. God look after them both.♥

[@herminiovitoria]

Its seem like a rehearsal in 1972, like we see in the Elvis on Tour documentary. The guy that plays the piano and begins the music and sings is Charlie Hodge (stage director). Then we have Elvis and Jd Sumner (the lowest voice) and probably the Stamps in the back.

[@clboelcke]

Elvis use to thank JD for letting him sing on stage with him, that’s how much he admired him. JD found a 15 year old Elvis hanging around the back door of the stage in order to listen to the gospel singing of the Blackwood Brothers (Jd was a member at the time). JD asked him what he was doing and Elvis told him he didn’t have the money for a ticket but wanted to hear the music. JD let him in the back door-Elvis never forgot it!

[@tinalinge2782]

Wow! Here's another one that i hadn't heard before. Thanx Seph!

[@timcarr6401]

I may have said it before, but I spoke with J.D. twice. The first time was in 1973 during intermission at an Elvis concert. It was about a five minute humorous encounter between us. I have called even his speaking voice as a sonic bass. The second and last time was at a Gospel sing in the early 90s. Lots of Gospel quartets were singing that night.

[@KlippityKlop1]

That’s J.D Sumner. Elvis was proud of his vocals. And Charlie Hodge is the first voice that starts it off. They always had fun singing around the piano! It’s J D Sumner and the Stamps Quartet.

[@mandyheath1793]

I really like this, never heard it before, i think they are just having fun together ❤

[@safariloverinnc5156]

The great J D Sumner....low voice!!!

[@DIANEDONOFRIO]

It's Elvis' friend JD Sumner who Elvis loved dearly as a close friend.

[@asangster6582]

The low voice is JD Sumner.

[@grahammalcolm7130]

The first voice is Charlie hodge .then it's JD sumpter you'll he him from 72 on stage he backed elvis with his group the stamps . The guy signing lead is Charlie hodge they met in he army and he sang harmony with elvis . On stage he gave elvis his water and scarfs.

[@helenludlow2331]

Never heard this song before but sounds like could be from Elvis On Tour 1972 outtakes/rehearsals with Charlie Hodge and J D Sumner singing gospel songs 💛⭐

[@WoodsWoman822]

You've moved onto JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, Elvis's final Male Group. Atleast at this time JD held the Guinness Book Word record for the the lowest Base. ☺

[@pennyyoung3166]

GOD run into his arms

[@suspiciousminds1750]

Sounds like Elvis and the boys were just having fun around the piano. 1972? I really hope you cover live performances from "Elvis on tour."

[@mandypotts9090]

J D sumner and the stamps quartet

[@robbansa]

It's more of a rehearsal than an actual song recording. Say hello to a new name in the Elvis music family J.D. Sumner the lowest voice at that time, he was or is still in The Guinness World Of Records. The Imperials - In November 1971, because of scheduling conflicts, they decided to stop performing with Elvis. They were replaced by J.D. Sumner and The Stamps.

Seph I’m getting caught up on a bunch of your reactions I missed - the 68 comeback special no less - and I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much joy you bring with your videos! I love your love for EP!! Thank you for letting us share this journey with you ❤

[@katiemartin2279]

JD also sang at Elvis's funeral.xxxx

[@katiemartin2279]

Loved JD.

[@paulhuggett7503]

Seph, someone wrote that you hadn't reacted to 'It's Only Love' from 1970. This record was SO good that nearly 3 years after Elvis death in June 1980, it 'returned' to the British chart in a 'better recorded stereo version (at the time) and reached a high of number 3 in the British charts. A definite contended for one of Elvis Best love songs. (in my view)😀

[@gorse9030]

Yes I am glad you mentioned It's Only Love - definitely not been done and a banger every day of the week for me.

[@robbansa]

Seph!!! We want It's Only Love!!!!

[@SephPlays]

I'll add it to the end of 1972 as a special request

[@paulhuggett7503]

Hi Seph, I've just discovered that about a week ago the whole of a song called 'Poor Man's Gold' which Elvis recorded in 1969 was discovered, and there is already a lady's reaction to it on here. It is a BEAUTIFUL song and I don't think you have reacted to the full version?! Hope you can soon. Have a good evening!😀

[@SephPlays]

I reacted to it back in march, but it was removed due to copyright issues :((((

[@paulhuggett7503]

@@SephPlays Oh right I missed that! Cool. All your reactions are cool.😀

[@kathifielder1110]

I see you've been filled in on who the low, low bass voice is in this one. In 1972 J.D. Sumner had put together The Stamps quartet with the intention of retiring from singing. Elvis, however, had different ideas. When he hired The Stamps, he talked J.D. into singing with them. During his lifetime he wrote over 700 songs. He passed away in 1998 at the age of 73 and never did get around to retiring. Fun fact: When Elvis began attending the all-night gospel concerts at the age of 14, J.D. described him as the kid that would come backstage afterwards and ask all kinds of questions. He said he was kind of a pest. 🤣

[@TheSpitmitt]

BASS VOICE IS JD SUMNER :)

[@jonpalmer7262]

That is JD Sumner You have entered 72. This is part of what's known as the Gospel session filmed for Elvis On Tour. He is the lowest bass singer ever recorded at the time. JD Sumner and the Stamps replaced the Imperials in 72. The only song i think you skipped was the re record of Love Letters The story is David Briggs the piano player in studio asked Elvis to re record it because he thought he could play the piano part in the beginning better.

[@brunolegros9725]

the one who sings high is Charlie Hodge

[@stanleycalliou]

high voice singer was bill blais

[@GeorgiaOverdrive]

That’s JD Sumner

[@rickraybourn7456]

Run on is a better song

[@BrandonAyong]

JD sumner actually held the record for being the lowest voice for a while

[@balovett]

"Flip! OMG! Oh, it's giving me the weird goosebumps, man!" (0:45) I wish we could get a Seph "goosebumps cam" trained close-up on your arm and placed picture-in-picture. "He's got some sort of crazy ass low voice, man. That's got to be one of the lowest voices I've heard. It kind of vibrates your soul weird." (2:50) And other parts too... I really dug this one. It sounded like they were all having a real hoot!

[@SephPlays]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Omg Brad you do crack me up 😆

[@SephPlays]

You ok Brad? You've done a disappearing act 🪄🎩😮

[@balovett]

@@SephPlays Oh man, Seph, you don't miss a thing. So sweet of you to reach out. I'd like to apologize. Over the past several days I've written some comments that were disrespectful. I removed a few of them last night and then some more this morning. I'm sorry about those and my behavior in general. You have awakened emotions in me that have long been dormant and that has led me to direct many of those feelings in your direction. And the more I have gotten to know you the greater those emotions have become. You have been gracious and kind about it all, but that isn't fair to you. Needless to say, this has been a real struggle for me. As a result I've taken a step back to reflect and reset. Please know that I didn't intend to burden you with the contents of my head, but I felt it would be a greater disservice to give you a disingenuous response to your caring question. Now I can only pray that my honesty wasn't a mistake. Btw, although I haven't watched it, I see you reacted to "So Cruel." Omar must be out of his mind today.

[@SephPlays]

Bradddddddddddd dont you freakin dare disappear just because of that 🤦. You be whatever you wanna be, you say whatever you wanna say! This is a no judgement channel, i encourage free speech here! Plus i like talking to you, don't really see a problem with chatting 😀 you are kind, intelligent and funny "Rare qualities" especially here on youtube. This reaction channel is verrryyyy niche though, i only do like 3 to 4 artists. So it can be verrryyyy boring if you aren't a mega fan of all or one of them. So i actually would completely understand if you didn't watch every video. Im surprised you have watched as many as you have. I LOVE that you've watched this many and it means a lot to me. But lets be realistic "You can't love them all" haha I want you around but please dont get a burn out 🙏😭 i would rather Talk to you once a week then not at all.... ♥️

[@SephPlays]

And ommgg So Cruel hahahaha poor guy probably doesn't know what to do with himself no more 🤣
