[@underappreciatedmedia]

Ok yeah his low notes are impressive, but the fact that he actually still SOUNDS great...? damn. I want whatever tonic this fella took

[@merrisshines5182]

Heh. Heh. Nice.

[@southok]

HE JUST TURNED 80 AND CAN STILL TEACH THEM YOUNG PUPS WHAT THE DOUBLE LOW C SOUNDS LIKE WITHOUT FRYING OR STRAINING

[@MetalFan1530]

YOKI LEE He does fry a little bit,but it still sounds great tho

[@izzysantiago978]

I am a 7 string bass player and I approve of these low notes!!

[@bentrod3405]

As a 4 string player this guy intimidates me

[@elansleazebaganno]

But you only get 4 extra low notes on a 7 string because it's tuned BEADGCF

[@krusefishing7087]

Bass only have four any other is sin

[@hectorlopez1120]

Bet you got a 8 string after hearing this

[@pat8437]

@@elansleazebaganno you could always restring it to be F#BEADGC, or, if you’re really adventurous, C#F#BEADG

[@ivankontra3446]

It's not that he's the lowest singer, it's that he has the absolute clearest notes on his lowest range, no comparison. Bellow those notes nobody can really sing, just do a sound test. No idea why he's isn't more known.

[@thomasmontgomery4127]

his faces!!! this guy is adorable. I haven't seen faces this priceless since BB King

[@davidwaggoner5901]

You should see his other video showing the wind instruments he can mimic. I was his pupil for a short time and still occasionally do his trombone sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fom1aKSFbKuHrMk

[@dolphinsdaydreams]

Every kid wants such a granddad. He still a very good singer and very funny too.

[@gabrielazevedo6028]

People doesn't realize how hard it is to sing these low notes with a straight face like this

[@molonlabe9785]

for an 80 year old man to age as good as him is one thing but to keep singing in the bass-ment like in a live performance, that is incredible

[@Mike-bm9ez]

His low note solo in rainbow of love was just amazing

[@carolhilton8711]

Remember when you were with The Palmetto State Quartet and you would come to my church for homecoming. That's where I grew to love Bass singers. You Ken Turner the best. ❤

[@JayCaldwell05]

I am a tuba player and i approve of this message

[@rva]

Wow!

[@zackarywood5850]

[@evanwarden4794]

[@orvillekronz1825]

[@bogdanshevchenko]

Such lighthearted and cheerful delivery, and of course the incredible range. One in a billion.

[@matteojack_5950]

thia guy is very impressive and i don't know how he's hitting those notes, but as a pianist I can't ignore the piano player, i wanna know his name and follow him everywere

[@Mike-bm9ez]

[@molonlabe9785]

whoever thumbs downed Ken Turner is a jealous little Justin Beaver fan. THIS is man music!

[@molonlabe9785]

***** Eeeeeexactly.

[@bertswan8831]

thank god i got to sing on stage with him with my quartet and he was with the blackwoods they were a hard act to follow we were a fill in group while they took a break and both groups sing the closing song

[@pascalm.kimanthi3436]

He makes singing bass too easy but in reality, Wow! You just sing 'air' when trying to go down lower!

[@SouthernGospelBR]

What a voice !

[@taintsaint87]

He is great, I met him in Oklahoma City in either 1979 or 1980, at an all night gospel concert. I rmemeber to this day the tale of the lizard on the train trck.

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

A amazing singer and he's funny to!

[@nusmacronus]

LOVE THIS GUY !!! So amazing pure BASS.

[@keithholm7493]

[@southok]

I SOME KINDA LOVE MR KEN TURNER

[@NaturezaBrasileira]

Que voz maravilhosa, dom de Deus

[@RennoCena]

low ir High notes apart... He sings very well, it's so nice to hear to him

[@krackersnacker1687]

Hits those low notes like it’s nothing. Some people think Tim Storms did it better but it sounds like he’s just mumbling through it, Ken hits them just fine

[@mjkhan9664]

Wow. That was an E flat 1 i think at the end. Or E1, i could be wrong. He truly is impressive

[@chada267]

[@cristianoalmeidagonsalvesg3744]

[@violetcaswell1455]

[@eoau]

[@dorianzulic9369]

Amazing!

[@MarioNiebles]

[@StrzelbaStian]

ikr, you can sense patriarchy in it

[@wills_corner]

Nobody: Me, a bass, singing in my comfortable range after choir:

[@heymangj8716]

It is subharmonic register?

[@lewking5551]

Eat your heart out Tim storms. Aint nothing fake about this guy

[@T.A.B.Videos]

I remember Ken when he was with the Dixie Echoes

[@DustyMcFarland]

What a neat guy.

[@natebham]

such a character

[@xelasaidful]

does anyone have this backtrack available without a voice .... so i can sing over the audio please?

[@CraigMansfield]

He's great!

[@joselannemelo9169]

Hello! Where and how is Ken Turner today?

[@Irish00]

Who had a lower vocal range JD Sumner or Ken Turner ?

[@TheRealJohnStephenson]

+Kyle Duffy Definitely J.D. Sumner, but Ken Turner is down there near J.D.

[@TheOktavismChannel]

+Kyle Duffy I actually think Turner brings far more integrity down into the contra octave than JD does. JD certainly tried to push it further with those low, low slides down to an imperceptible rumble, but I think Turner can actually *sing* down there with better clarity and tone than JD ever did. Both are greats of the gospel genre, though.

[@TheRealJohnStephenson]

k barber I agree 100%

[@RurczakKurczak]

+ThatKidd Mikhail Zlatopolsky actually sung double low C and could be heard among the choir. In my opinion he had the lowest voice ever, also considering his speaking voice. About Ken Turner and JD I agree with karber. I can add that JD's voice don't please me, maybe because he smoked.

[@Cam-yi1ue]

Tim foust well he has a lower vocal range than ken

[@WouterB76]

Would be a marvellous Transformers voice actor!

[@kalezbiduque2578]

Woowwww!!!Wonderffull

[@lucasobra76]

Ken Turner é de mais

[@Robin-ij6ks]

Is this the same ken turner who sang rainbow of love?

[@parkerb5308]

yes

[@squeezemyparticiple]

Is the emcee Wallace (tenor) from Ken's quartet when he sang "Rainbow of Love"?

[@psalmofpraise]

+squeezemyparticiple No, the emcee is not Wallace.

[@CDtrumpet5]

My question is this; are there any other recordings of that group besides the rainbow of love recording? They were pretty tight, it's a shame they were so short lived

[@bjrnmgranvang1107]

Love him

[@markbirchall2060]

So how low did he go on this song??????? I havent heard anyone go lower.

[@whatdoidonext2234]

did Ken Turner ever sing on any of the Gaither Gospel Reunions?

[@thedukeofswellington1827]

Something tells me id love this crowd

[@nancycriss5548]

Do you know where I can find the sheet music for this song

[@jimmyarrioja8188]

Could someone please tell me, what's the name of that song that I sing turner?

[@steakfilly5199]

4:01 how eight year old me saw my dad

[@lennartboehme2527]

is he using some kind of technique which some beatboxers are using? genuine question

[@juanaserra9995]

muy bueno,.

[@calonico9470]

Cool!

[@NarcisoBatistaJunior]

Incrível!

[@Jiitzh]

the voice doesn't fit his face at all..

[@jerrysmith8526]

woah

[@turbanheadless]

Wawawawawalk is all i wanna do now

[@kevinblalock6132]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@_elvio]

Is he lives?

[@agungibrahim6432]

yeah

[@fauzan4981]

no wonder, he even got that frog throat sac

[@MichelZouïeff]

Hi, friends! Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Ken Turner's contacts? Maybe an email?

[@merrisshines5182]

But can he still play the trumpet?

[@unpapuparticularv3337]

What's the name ir the piano player?

[@randyshaves7956]

He had a much better bass voice than J.D. Sumner and reached the lowest notes much easier as well.

[@triple7marc]

I wouldn’t say that. They’re both legends. JD Sumner did Rainbow of Love better.

[@turanbirligi6969]

So it is not chest voice Jd hits That with pure chest the same voice you are using when you speak but jd uses subharmonic which is not chest its like we using fry for getting that low so it will be easier for him to hit so that is not chest and he cant go lower with chest too jd is MUCH MORE lower bass than him

[@guilhermesobrinho1329]

whaaaaat? lol

[@jonathansilverman1406]

he is amazing but his facial expressions are to much

[@soeffingwhat]

+Jonathan Silverman He's doing those to provide some amusement to the audience.

[@MrSJPowell]

+Jonathan Silverman He's been doing that in all live performances since at least the mid 90's when I can first remember seeing him as a kid (he was a friend of my dad's, and would come to our church fairly often).

[@paulco4145]

Let's hear it without a mic, just like Vladimir Zlatopolsky would do, while singing over 30 other choir members.
