Hopefully he can sing "Wish You Were Here" like the last 2 bass players, Selph & Surrett.



DJSfromCleveland -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (9/30/2006 12:30:58 AM)

* On another side note, about the Kingsmen concert i attended, OK, i am 43 yrs. old. But as i looked around the room, i believe i was , by far, the youngest one at that whole concert. I would say the average age was around 70. That kinda worries me, where's the young people?.... although it was a Thursday nite, so maybe the youngens had to stay in and do homework, etc.

I will probably be the youngest person at the Kingsmen concert tonight in Hawkinsville, GA.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (9/30/2006 11:32:53 PM)

The sing was GREAT, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new bass player, Grant Barker, did a great job tonight on the bass and didnt miss a note. He has a great personality and really friendly. I got to take a picture with Ray Dean Reese and I talked to Phillip, Tony, Jeremy, Nick, Grant, Brandon, and Ray. They mixed in some new songs with the old songs. They are sold out of the Good Good God cd and Ray told me they cant keep them in stock. What a great concert!!!!!!!!!!! An excellent job goes out to the Kingsmen.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/1/2006 8:11:09 PM)

Has anyone heard Ernie Phillips sing "Crossing Time". It is off the Alabama Live ablum. What a great song.

Yes. It was a moving sort of song, too.
Ernie PHillips is the tenor by whom I measure other tenors [:)]

danielmount -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 6:16:26 AM)

Yes, that is a great song. Ernie Phillips is one of my all-time favorites, and that is (IMO) the best song he did. It's a superb tenor feature, as well, in that it lets the tenor go super-high without needing to strain at any given point.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 3:17:46 PM)

I also like Child, Child sung by Wayne Maynard off of that same album. I also like Love Lifted Me, when Ernie Phillips gets really high on the ending. I dont think I have ever heard anyone get that high before.



danielmount -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 3:19:20 PM)

The only other time I can recall someone hitting that note was when Allison Durham Speer hit it on the ending of Because He Lives on the Gaither Series (same note, same octave!)



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 3:23:44 PM)

Wow!!!!! Jeremy Peace did an exceptional job saturday night. In my opinion, Jeremy and Phillip sound better in person. At the end of the concert, Nick Succi and Tony Peace were playing the piano together and it sounded great.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 5:25:06 PM)

What is your favorite Kingsmen cd/album. Mine are:
1. Good Good God
2. Ready(Carolina Boys Quartet)
3. Good News(Carolina Boys Quartet)
4. Proven Time and Time Again
5. Shelter
6. Born Again
7. Past Is Past

Just to name a few



danielmount -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 5:31:41 PM)

1. Live at the University of Alabama (maybe the best live Southern Gospel album ever)
2. Live...Naturally
3.
4.
5. Jubilation
6. The Old Time Way
7. Just as the Sun Went Down
8. Better in Person

(I've heard good things about Big and Live, and the one that had "Meet Me at the Table," so I'm saving those slots empty till I hear them.)



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 5:41:35 PM)

Live at the University of Alabama is a good one. I have downloaded the whole album and I like it alot. It has Child, Child, and Crossing Time on it.

This has been a concern of mine for some time.
I'm 57, and for the most part I'm in the majority age group.

HOWEVER.......

Here in Georgia (especially at Churches) I've been VERY pleasantly surprized lately at the number of teens and twenty somethings at concerts.

And I've noticed something else.....they are NOT there because their parents made them go....they are there because they LOVE Southern Gospel.....
And that just blesses my heart.

I normally do not disagree with you but on this one I must. Chattanooga Live had the best vocal talent the Kingsmen have ever put on any stage. It is the album that really made me a Kingsmen fan. Thus I think it is the best one they ever did.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 5:48:22 PM)

I love Southern Gospel music, especially the old Quartet style of music. I also like the Kingsmen. My favorite group

Well, I have never heard it yet. Maybe I should just put another blank slot in on that list![;)]

Ernie sings a song "We do not die" on the album and it still gives me goose bumps after 29 years.



danielmount -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 6:13:17 PM)

I have Johnny Parrack's version on Just a Little Closer Home. I look forward to hearing Ernie's version some day.



DJSfromCleveland -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 6:42:07 PM)

Wow, for me to list my 10 favorite Kingsmen albums of all time, is a very difficult task! Considering we are talking about many, many,many projects, way over 100.
I would have to sit down and think long ad hard about this one, but i believe their newest project would be in the top 10, and i also know that "Live.... Naturally", would also be in the top 10.

Josh and Daniel, i like both of your picks, but i may or may not disagree , not sure! LOL.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 6:59:40 PM)

Thanks for the compliment

Josh, i like your picture with Ray! it is very good. Wish i had the capability to post a pic. on here with my webtv., but i cannot, i dont' have a computer, or digital camera, etc.

I have my picture taken with many of the Kingsmen past and present, i have me with Ray, Hamill, Tim Surrett, Parker, and others too. They are all in my photo album.
No digital pictures, just the old fashioned kind!

Cool!!!!! I took alot of pictures at the Kingsmen concert(Saturday September 30,2006). Another one of the pics that turned out really great was the Kingsmen doing an ending to a song. I am going to print it out and let the guys sign it with a silver or gold sharpie and frame it. I will also print the picture of me and Ray and let him sign it.



DJSfromCleveland -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 7:28:16 PM)

I have one of those old Singing News TRading CArds they had a few yrs. back with Ray Dean Reese, i took it their concert and had him sign it for me, its pretty cool.



KingsmenQuartetFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (10/2/2006 7:30:47 PM)

I was reading in another post that you have every Kingsmen project that they done except for like three. That is amazing, I think. I wish I had a majority of their projects. I have like 10-15 of their cds and then I have alot of Kingsmen MP3s that I have transfered over to cds.
