Lefevres - Love to call

[@tonysimmons647]

What a beautiful rendition! Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent!

[@DonaldWills-z6n]

Great harmony with Uncle Alph, Pierce and Jimmy Jones. They were great.

[@DonaldWills-z6n]

Urias LeFevre was a fine individual and astute businessman. He always had some of the finest talent in their group. And it was anchored by his loving wife, Eva Mae.

Rex was such a smooth, quality bass. Never tried to force out the low-low notes to where he was unable to be understood. Great overall singer and one of the most underrated bass singers in Gospel Music history

[@williamblack5967]

I had 4 favorite bass singers growing up and they were: Rex Nelon George Younce Brock Speer and Ray Dean Reese

[@spiper968]

Couldn't agree more!!! Rex HAS to be the most underrated bass singer!! He is so in-tune and smooth even wah back then!! Love him!!! And EnchiladaMan360, I watched that same video and Rex did nail some AWESOME F1'S!!!!!!!

[@rickcampbell4934]

In my humble opinion, no one could sing this like Rex Nelon. I had the privilege of singing lead with Uncle Alf and the LeFevres and the love and respect the LeFevres and Nelons had for each other was so endearing. Rex's son Todd also sang and played bass with Uncle Alf's group and Rex was also instrumental in getting Karen Peck into Uncle Alf's group. However after all these years I was so blessed to see Kelly Nelon Clark send a special video filled with so much love and emotion to Uncle Alf's wife Ellie at her birthday party last year. Serving Christ, and real love. That is why the message that the LeFevres and Nelons sing about will never die

[@DonaldWills-z6n]

WONDERFUL!!!

[@davidwells529]

[@EnchiladaMan360]

I couldn't agree more! Rex didn't overdo those slides at the end of songs like J.D. did, but whenever he did one, it was always better than J.D.'s. Rex did, however, hit two buttery smooth F1's during the song "It's Alright" with Candy Hemphill Christmas.

[@hankgillette]

Rex wrote the song too.

[@jaylenperry3]

Dag therr word for word singing the harmonizing fours material lol

[@TheJpaynter]

He actually had a good voice - not just the ability to hit low notes.

[@BecauseHeLives39]

The Quartet Singer he did just not at that time bc he was younger and as you age your voice gets lower and he was able to hit down to about a G1 or an F1

[@vitormrmr]

@@BecauseHeLives39 He went to double low F a couple of times when was grey haired

[@johntabler349]

Rex Nelon without the white hair but the same great voice

[@spiper968]

The more I listen to this.....he does sound a little like a Johnny Cash!!

[@vitormrmr]

And Brock Speer too

[@johnstrickland3851]

that was before his voice changed when he was a tenor

[@vitormrmr]

He never was a tenor. Maybe bass-baritone.

[@lenoxkasirye6672]

Not a tenor at all . The highest he could go was bass baritone

[@hugedell]

who's the bass singer???

[@tinytuna6275]

Rex Nelon

[@antrhj07]

5252

[@TheDixieBassMan]

Those were D2s he's a great bass but he's not in the same league as J.D. And London Parris makes Just about every other bass aside from J.D. sound like an amateur.

[@kasiryeleno2456]

But Rex is all round

[@TheDixieBassMan]

@@kasiryeleno2456 Rex as smooth as he was couldn't hit a double low C on a piano if you pointed at it. He's not the greatest of all time, he'd need to be much lower to be in that discussion. Rex was tremendous at what he did but he isn't the greatest.

[@TheDixieBassMan]

@@kasiryeleno2456 Also just to clarify I love Rex,I have quite a few of his records and love his voice maybe it's all the attacks on J.D.,Dan Britton and Mike Holcomb for being lower than any other active singer that makes me more defensive than I should be. I'd say he was better than Brock Speer but not quite as good as Erine Ford,he is one of the all time greats. I wasn't trying to insult him.
