This was so awesome. The Fairfield Four was given honorary memebership in the Barbershop Harmony Society that evening. It is wonderful to see the genuine friendship and respect between these eight singers. This is how all of America should be. I wish this video would go viral; it's what we all need to see right now.

Double barbershop quartets can do some truly interesting things, especially like this when you have two distinct amazing sounds pairing up with each other! :D

Yeah,though the Fairfield Four have an analogous part assignment. Their bass just makes me so happy, he's someone to listen closely to as someone of the same voice part! :D

Jim tried to sing a B1, but it was to deep for him, his voice just went into fry. Normally this song is a half key higher, which makes it a C2 (65hz) and Jim can sing that, though the B1 was just too low for his voice.

Look at all the principles of Christ's teachings; it's all about peace, love, harmony, selflessness, and having repose ( rest ) for our souls when one is translated from this chaotic world into the great beyond. Please, consider following Christ, he loves you and meant good for you Sir.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Fun fact: shortly after the year 1820 a white guy who was a preacher, or something of the like, taught this song (Roll Jordan Roll - written by Charles Wesley) to a group of slaves to Christianize them. The result of that incident birthed the Blues.

@BillStein_947 жыл бұрын
I'm reasonably certain the song is in E, which would make the low note on the 5th chord a B.
@MadisonHasty4 жыл бұрын
Normally its a C as the key they normally do it is in F but here they did it in E so yes B is the lowest note

You can listen to the original off of the album standing in the safety zone by fairfield four who are the original composers and arrangers. The original bassist is Isaac "dickie" Freeman. There is also a live cover by the same group as they recorded with the blue grass band. Roll Jordan roll by the fairfield four featuring Nashville blue grass singers..to that effect.. hope that helps. Hope all is well with you and your family at this time..Be blessed.

I think that the lowest notes are at the bottom of Jim Henry's range. I'm not sure the of the key they sing this in, but I think it is whatever key the Fairfield Four normally sing it. The bass from Fairfield Four sings amazingly low notes. If you notice, when both quartets sing together, Jim sings baritone instead of bass.
@teddykgb38658 жыл бұрын
Take 1:14 for example. That may have been at the bottom of Jim's range, but it still rattled the chairs in the building when he dropped down there. The sound in all these webcast recordings is just lacking.

I agree; there's some things you miss with the best recordings. Nothing takes the place of being there. I'm also used to hearing J.D. Sumner sing it, and he's a tough act to follow anyhow lol

Petromax I believe Dr. Jim Henry (the other bass) did his doctoral thesis on early gospel and blues music. I've heard him speak about the pronunciation of various words in hymns and the like from that era. I'm guessing you can research the history behind the songs and styles for more info if you are interested.
