My family travelled a lot with them during the late 70's and early 80's and were also on this TV show with them often. He was a fun fellow indeed. I remember as a little boy sitting with him on those very steps you see in this video and him giving me some of the best advice I was every given. "Always be yourself." One of Ken's greatest qualities was that he was always totally himself.

These gentlemen performed in Bowie Texas. My Dad and Mother had perfect pitch and we sang as a family group when we were little. Dad had a major stroke as he left work. A friend saw him and took him to hospital not waiting for EMS. This saved his life! After 4 months of intense therapy he was discharged home. We went directly to this church to hear the Blackwoods sing. When they learned dad came there before even going home first from the hospital, the whole congregation and the Blackwoods stood up and turned towards daddy so he wouldn’t have to stand up and they sang happy birthday to him!! If you don’t think that wasn’t an amazing time, and so precious to daddy. It was glorious and heavenly and the Holy Spirit was so deeply present that night. It did a lot to help his recovery. He never forgot it, nor did I. The Blackwoods no matter what generation, was my dad‘s favorite musical group. They didn’t have to do it, but they were very tender as to his health. I will forever be in their debt. He had a stroke when he was 69 he was still working and he lived well up into his late 80s. This one generous act made all the world to him. People do watch what we do. It makes a great example. Thank you thank you thank you. I praise God for that evening, and” I thank my God upon every remembrance of you!” I hope the Blackwoods see this note.

This man is amazing from baritone to bass to undiscribable notes.

.. and Trombone and Trumpet sounds, too! As great as George Younce from The Cathedrals Quartet was at singing this song, Ken Turner was even better! With all that Ken Turner did in this song, I don't understand for the life of me, how that he wasn't more recognized. He beats every Bass Singer there ever was in Southern Gospel Music!

Lmao, it sure does sound like it.

That glissando at the end gets me every time. Ken has stage presence like Elvis, effortlessly enjoying every minute of it. True passion of a gift from the heavens.

In this 2 minute clip you witness unparalleled range, versatility, and creativity from Mr. Ken Turner. That A-flat he crushes at the end through the sub-flooring is amazingly no where near the bottom of his lower limits. He may be quirky and sadly under-appreciated, but what a gifted singer and performer!

George Younce + Mark Lowry = Ken Turner

Ken is unbelievably talented!

great trombone!

Ken has the loudest foot tap I’ve ever heard

Saw Ken Turner as a (somewhere between 9-11 years old) youngster and was just amazed. I made my mom and dad buy his solo record. #neverforget

God bless Mr. Ken Turner! He's super talented and one of my favorites!

That was fantastic! Why is this man not a household name!

wow, ken looks so young and slim XD

What did i just watch...lord made this mans.voice so deep wed never have to try going deeper 😂

I had the privilege of seeing this particular group of the Blackwood Brothers in concert, twice, in the late 70s.

Uncle Ken Turner,is talented to the fullest!! Those instruments from the mouth 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

1:43 best a cappella trumpet and trombone I’ve ever heard

Whenever I’m upset this video always bring me joy 🤩

I think Pat Hoffmaster was my all-time favorite tenor singer among the many quartets. He was so smooth and had a silky voice.

I saw them about this time . I enjoyed them very much .

I remember the original Blackwood Brothers from Memphis, Tennessee back in the 1950's, even before the infamous plane crash.

A lot of people may not know this, but after The Blackwood Brother's Bass Singer was killed in that Plane Crash, J. D. Sumner wanted to join the group. However, according to at least one account, J. D. Sumner was involved in drinking and womanizing, to the point that, when it was brought to James Blackwood's attention that J. D. wanted to join The Blackwood Brothers, James Blackwood, upon hearing about J. D.s desire to join his group, angrily retorted:"I don't want that Infidel in my group"! He later relented, though. J. D. Sumner was allowed to sing Bass with the Blackwood Brothers for quite a few years. He then became the Bass Singer for the Stamps, which provided background music for Elvis Presley, in the 1970s.

He do a great job with "his" instruments.

CLASSIC!

Ken Turner was such a crowd pleaser, seems like a fun guy, it`s clear he loved performing and making people happy. Now if you`ll excuse me, I need to listen to some Norwegian black metal to balance it off ;)

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏muito bem

Ken Turner

Reminds me of the Mills Brothers.

São quatro artistas e prinpamente o baixo.

Now we have auto-tune. This is talent. Not much of it left anymore in this world.

I don’t know who the bass singer is but he must have about a four octave range at least! He’s awesome!

Cecil, the one who did the talking, was the nephew of one of the original Blackwood Brothers, and Jimmy, the lead singer, was the son of one of the originals. The group was still at the top of their game, winning grammies and drawing big crowds in 1981. I believe this was one of their best formations.
