The male voice ranges are, from highest to lowest: tenor, baritone, and bass - with bass at the bottom. Bowser was/is (because Jon Bauman is still alive) a bass. So was Melvin Franklin.

Will not deny this was the sketch that made me fall in love with this guy, although getting to meet him in person was another step in the right direction! I was the oddball who wore poodle skirts and chucks all the way through middle school and high school so I was over the moon when I found out he was having a Christmas concert in a nearby town very close to my birthday. what I didn't know is my mom sent him an email explaining I was Autistic and SNN happened to be my thing, he freaking REPLIED and asked if I wanted to do a hula hoop contest, sadly I can't hula hoop so we compromised and decided to meet up. And let me tell you, you think Bowzer has a low octave on the show just wait until you hear it in person because his voice CARRIES, I will not deny I was starstruck when I heard him call for my mom and asked if I enjoyed the show. That whole experience is a definite core memory and helped me cement the fact that I liked doo woop poodle skirts and Rockabilly and it didn't matter if I didn't dress in 'style'

Yes, I've really enjoyed seeing this again. So Cute and Creative video. I've heard Vaughn Monroes Great verson of Ghost Riders. The Blues Brothers did a good verson in their movie. Probably over 100 Artist have recorded this song, doing instrumentals, too, by Roy Clark,and Buck Owens on Hee Haw Show 🎵 written in 1948 by Death Valley Ranger Stan Jones.In 75 years this song has certainly withstood the True test of Time!! Bowers Voice was Perfect for this Song. Always like the Sha Na Na Guys. Glad this is on here again, im going to watch alot.

My Dad was a Baritone, and you sing Beautifully like a choir, but I really wish you would redo it with a Christmas scenery behind you. And sing the Baritone part as the lead. And really belt it out there, with emotions and feelings and passion when you sing JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM..... like my Dad did. He did it better than Pavarotti. You could do very passionate baritone leads, but your too passive and concerned on every part blending, but this song is meant to be very very passionate and pow, it's supposed to send chills up your spine with such power. Bring tears to your eyes and warmth to your heart and soul.
