J.D. Sumner
Oyuncu · 1924 – 1998 · Lakeland, Florida
John Daniel "J. D." Sumner was an American gospel singer, songwriter, and music promoter noted for his bass voice. Sumner sings the final note on the Elvis Presley song "Way Down", a C1. His vocal range extended below the lowest playable note on the piano, reaching the note G0 in a 26-second vocal slide at a concert while singing backing vocals for Presley. There are some claiming he reached an Eb0 in a recorded live concert while singing with the Blackwood Brothers, however this cannot be verified. He was famous for his group J. D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet and his associations with the Blackwood Brothers and Elvis Presley.

Film8.2MüzikBelgeselUzmanlar, eleştirmenler ve diğer paydaşlarla yapılan güncel röportajlardan arındırılmış olan film, ünlü sanatçının Las Vegas'taki konser serisinin başlangıcında çekilmiş, yakın zamanda keşfedilen arşiv görüntüleriyle ilerliyor. Başlangıçta otelde birkaç hafta sürmesi planlanan 1969 tarihli konser serisi, şaşırtıcı derecede karlı olmuş ve yedi yıldan fazla sürmüştür. Bir müzikseverin coşkusu ve hassasiyetiyle ustaca derlenmiş olan bu belgesel, Presley'nin neşeli, çalışkan, hatta şapşal olduğu provalar ile güçlü ve görkemli performanslardan aceleci performanslara kadar değişen canlı performanslar arasında ustaca geçiş yapıyor.
