(Reaction) Gold City - "Rainbow of Love"

[@noahchester96]

My Grandad Floyd Beck started Gold City and specified that he wanted Tim as their bass. Mr. Tim is one of the top 3 bass singers in gospel music history in my book. He is a legend and a very very good man. Great video sir.

[@kfclit1199]

Thanks for the love brotha ❤️ so glad you saw this, I knew you’d be super impressed haha. You’ve got a low voice too man! You be droppin those C2’s on us lol. Love the stank face in this video 😆

[@Onealfarm9967]

I love it when people get introduced to southen gospel music for the first time back before country music rock and roll there was southern gospel go back to two mics and a piano player days they where the rock stars of music now nobody knows the music anymore but we do exist

[@Marcell0Bass]

2:25 I thought I’d mention that with bass singers your prime is when your older because your voice constantly gets lower and fuller as you age Edit: for example if you listen to Geoff Castellucci 10 years ago it doesn’t compare

[@MiddleAgedBob]

So if Tim Faust is only 32 then he still has time to catch up with this guy?

[@Marcell0Bass]

Bob M Tim just turned 38

[@billybandit8162]

I've known Gold City All of my life and i mean (ALL)..my mother always went to Nashville in her youth to Gospel conventions where she met and also sang with Time Riley and Gold City..so naturally when i was born she would take me to meet the Group..and they became family..and i was like a son...they even took turns holding me while they performed onstage..this was 38 yrs ago so the group then i believe was Time Riley, Ivan Parker, Brian Free AKA Precious and Mike Lefevre. even though Tim has Retired i still to this day get calls from him when he is with the group close to my home and ill go sing with him and his son...love this man. Gold City is the reason i started singing to begin with.

[@chrissyvictory232]

I grew up with them as well. They watched my sister and me grow up and knew our favorites to sing when we were there. ❤️

[@heartsong3149]

I know what you mean. When I was singing tenor with the Dixie Melody Boys, seems like I could hit any note I wanted. That was in the 70's. Now that I'm old(er), I have to find something to stand on .

[@billybandit8162]

@@heartsong3149 That's awesome..I have always loved singing..but if I have to be honest..I'm not a horrible singer..but I'm no American Idol either lol..I'm good for the local karaoke places..lol I know my limitations lol 😆

[@bentleyotieno705]

Listen to Ken Turner doing rainbow of love man, then the emperor dragon himself, Tim Storms

[@GamingDrummer89]

Tim Storms doesn't have much power below the middle of the second octave, and most of the contra octave stuff and lower seems like it's just mastered fry. Ken Turner uses subharmonics and possibly inwards fry sometimes for the really low stuff, but he sounds REALLY good doing it, so he's another guy I like. He can even "play instruments" with his voice like the trumpet and the trombone, so he's quite a talent!

[@Marcell0Bass]

Oh hell yes! You should check out Crystal river boys do this song too Ken Turner goes lower than low

[@Robin-ij6ks]

But his chest register isnt as clear and voluminous as Rileys

[@hypercubemaster2729]

@@Robin-ij6ks Not only that, but I'm pretty sure Ken resorts to ingressive phonation to hit his lowest notes. He's as pitchy down there as JD was.

[@daventunes3822]

Honey, this is a genre called Southern Gospel, mainly known for its quartets. Some of those old boys will rock your socks off. Gold City was/is one of the more successful quartets. There was another group contemporary with them called the Kingsmen, and they did a few tours together under the name King's Gold. Check them out. Also, as others have noted, this same song has been done in lower keys by the Crystal River Boys, and also by J.D. Sumner and the Stamps. J.D. toured with Elvis at one time, and is also the first guy credited with the idea of touring in a bus!

[@chuckdunkhase5103]

Jeff Chapman of the Kingdom Heirs went to Gold City as bass singer here recently

[@thomasskidmore1368]

Love ur reaction! !

[@berthall2833]

You should react to Ken Turner's version of this song, and also look up J. D. Sumner's version, but that one doesnt have a video

[@GamingDrummer89]

I actually met Tim Riley, and he told me himself he doesn't use fry. He actually wasn't sure what I was talking about when I said "fry", so I showed him fry in its pure form and his reaction was "Oh no, I can't stand that!" Hahaha. To be fair, though, I think when most people say they don't use it, they mean it in its pure form (i.e. a "fake" note)...sometimes you'll hear it mix in with chest voice on the REALLY deep notes. That's still technically singing, though.

[@shortybarnesyanik]

I grew up listening to Gold City along with many other great southern gospel groups. The Cathedrals were my favorite!

[@dannyhollingsworth1109]

Ditto. Still my go-to. Pre ernie and Scott. Glenn, Danny, mark and George was the best one

[@shortybarnesyanik]

Danny Hollingsworth I was so upset when Scott replaced Mark but then I grew to like him a lot. I never did care for Ernie though still don’t. Roger Bennett was my hero. I was devastated when he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. 😢

[@bigvoicedlittleguy1]

Hey Dave, love what you do here! Lookup Tim Riley Sound Check. Incredible!!! NOBODY has a voice that comes close to his. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with him a few times in the past at live concerts, and you can literally feel his voice in your chest when he talks!

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

The Bass singer here is Tim Riley and he trained another gentleman to take his place in the Gold City Quartet.

[@tbrake2310]

Tim Riley is crazy! Love to hear him! Actually got to see him live once... It was awesome!

[@John-tc9mv]

The great Tim Riley, what can I say, it would be nice if you reacted to the legendary bass singer named J. D. Sumner. There's a video called: worlds lowest bass singer JD Sumners all time lowest notes, it's a good one or let us break bread together in Bill Gaither's channel

[@bradsyoutube]

Check out JD Sumner and the stamps. Old-school quartet music and JD may still hold the record for the deepest voice. They were the back up group for Elvis.

[@bradriley2614]

You’re correct man that was all chest no fry. Some of these gospel bass singers just have superhuman low voices you need to check out some of JD Sumner I’m telling you you won’t believe what he can do he only uses his chest voice no technique whatsoever.

[@rxhx]

I also recommend, this song where Ken Turner is in the lineup, it's quite famous on youtube :3

[@johnventurino2819]

One of my favorites is “God’s Building a Church” love Tim Riley.

[@wkwatson2929]

Tim Riley. Bass!!!! Yes

[@yungharvey6725]

I’ve known Tim Riley my whole life he is an amazing Christian man. In fact Ik all the gospel quartets singers my father is also a southern gospel singer so I’ve been around them for a while.

[@efes_art2136]

Love this! 🎶❤️

[@amarama7654]

There are multiple versions of Rainbow of love by bass singers. Like the Legendary J.D Sumner and Ken Turner i think... You can see the video if you search up "rainbow.wmv"

[@frederickaltar2953]

I've seen this when I search bass singers on youtube, love it!!

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

Another guy who could sing really deep like that was George Younce of The Cathedrals.

[@stirfry1979]

If you like that you should react to crystal river boys doing rainbow of love 🌈

[@keithshepard3]

YES

[@ivannagamble9758]

Tim Riley said if he can't hit it, he don't sing it. Tim's been retired for a while, but his voice was true. Also, take a listen to Aaron McCune. That cat is strong.

[@jowen9351]

Look up Jeff with the Kingdomheirs that’s a good bass

[@josephlivengood4508]

That's Tim Raily with Gold City, He is one of the best.

[@bradsyoutube]

His name is Tim Riley

[@Cee_Jay_Ward]

I’m just gonna ask. Could you imagine him being good at beatboxing? The BASS...

[@josephlivengood4508]

Listen to an album of theirs called acapella Gold and the song Heaven's jubilee. He doesn't beat box but does the bass guitar sound with his voice.

[@annefrank8619]

Listen to the version of Crystal River Boys

[@martyreaves4955]

Ken Turner is quite impressive as well.

[@xXNunduXx]

Is it weird that i can growl the low notes but can’t go past a F2 with chest?

[@kfclit1199]

No, everyone including females are able to growl. It’s utilizing a different set of chords than the vocal chords.

[@millertimemusic3565]

Bro check out quarter gilead and their song titled "Jerusalem" and react to that bass! Its 💯

[@millertimemusic3565]

"Quartet " 🙄😂

[@jasonscottarnold]

Tim Riley my friend. The best ever

[@anicedan90]

Yo, check out Crystal River Boys' version of this song, it will blow your mind and headphones off

[@jamesalsante2388]

Bass singers get better with age in my opinion. They "turn" notes differently. Tim Riley is certainly bass singing Royalty.

[@yungharvey6725]

You should check out Ray deen Reese he is another amazing Christian man and a amazing bass singer

[@PITTS247]

Do reactions to George Younce with the Cathedrals and Mike Holcomb with the Inspirations. Just as low.

[@PITTS247]

And Glenn Dustin with Legacy Five. All were beasts.

i’m not particularly religious, but i would turn to JESUS if i could go to their church

[@ryansawyer9901]

There is a better version of this lol the quality is a bit better

[@williamwilson8062]

With today's tech. My 4 year old can be the lowest bass singer on earth. You have to look at when JD, Tim, London, Chuck, George were coming up there was nothing called auto tune or subs. If you sang bass. You had to sing bass.

[@jonathanandrews686]

Tim Riley is one of the lowest bass singers ever. Fine man too.
