No matter what song he sings, Mike sings like no one else. His bass is just amazing and his high is also a must to hear. Love his smooth bass.

WOW!!! Never ever heard Mike Holcombe sing so high or so low. He's singing it and praising GOD.

I love Mike's vocal range! he nails those super low notes when he wants to, but he's not limited to the low range, he has an incredible mid range voice as well... a true pro.

The best !!!!! Love the Inspirations in this combination. Awesome.

What a great bunch of Godly men!! The Inspirations are the very best!!! 🤗🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

You mentioned about The Inspirations being a Godly bunch of Men...and that's the way that it should be. I've seen things out of some so-called "Southern Gospel Groups", that led me to believe, that all they're trying to do, is collect a paycheck. Some of the people in some of these groups seemed like they weren't Christians at all! I could name names! When you have the Then-Emcee of The Kingsmen Quartet, playing with the Tenor Singer's hair, and even patting him on the backside, while that Tenor Singer is trying to sing a song, that's bad enough. If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself. It's right here on KZread! If you watch a clip by The Kingsmen Quartet called "Look for me at Jesus' Feet, there's a little piece of footage in that particular clip, that shows this guy patting Garry Sheppard on his backside. People: That's totally inappropriate! Then, he does it again, this time to Squire Parsons, when Squire is singing either "It made news in Heaven", or "The lovely name of Jesus ". Guys shouldn't be touching other guys that way. At all! There's loads of evil doings, that are found in Southern Gospel Music that I could point out, but I'd be here for quite a while doing so. The Inspirations were decent, Christian folks, and those of them that are still alive are still that way!

To me, this is the BEST group the Inspirations have ever had. Bro. Mike Halcomb can preach as well as he sings. He now sings with the Old Time Preachers Quartet when he's not preaching.

Sadly, there's no one left now, as it relates to The Inspirations Quartet. Brother Michael T. Holcomb left in 2013, Brother Martin Cook died sometime within the past year or so, and who knows what Brother Archie Watkins is doing. Brother Deitz is long-gone, and I'm not sure if he's even alive anymore. Brother Jack Laws passed away, and, quite honestly, I don't even know who the Baritone Singer was for the group, before he left. It is what it is, and I know that, sooooo..... Whatever.

You ought to hear Mike Holcomb preach....He is great...

They set the stage of Southern Gospel Music! Though their faces changed, their "sound" was unmistakable!!

Mike Holcomb not only sings great, you ought to hear him Preech. He came to our Church yesterday for our Pastor's 26 years as our Preecher. He truly will touch your heart.

The guys are the very best!! Mike is the best bass singer that ever was!! You just don't get any better than the Inspirations!! I love them!! Beautiful song!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙌🌹

The piano player, Martin Cook, started this group with a bunch of college friends. He is a relative of mine and he played piano in our little church every Sunday when I was 10 years old. . That was the Balsam Grove Baptist church on Caney Fork, NC. A wonderful and very talented group. W. Massingale

The best line up this group has ever had. I saw them a few times, and sure got my blessers blessed.

My father always play the inspiration's music from i was a kid. I've fallen in love with their ministry every since.

I admit to being an "Inspirations groupie", but I don't think I have ever heard a bass singer with more musicality than Mike Holcomb! He absolutely is amazing when he's hitting those low notes and is still carrying the tune so beautifully!! He will be soooo missed. God Bless!

Love it!! Really just discovered Mike a year or so back and he is REALLY starting to grow on me!! Really like his singing!!

Martin Cook, the piano player started this group when he was in college in the 50's. He started out playing the piano in the Balsam Grove Baptist church on Caney Fork, NC. He is a relative and I watched him play every Sunday until I was 12 years old.

I was raised up with my mother sinces I was a little child I love them and love their music

Still a wonderful group and song.

I THINK MR,MARTIN COOK HAS DONER A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE INSPERATIONS ,MY GOD CONTINUE TO USE HIM

They sung many wonderful songs. Blessed and inspiring ❤

Yes he does!!! I love this song.

They are a MUST SEE!

brother mike is awesome i love him.

Mike does good on this song. i like Matt too.

Revelation 21:4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." to anyone unable to attend church, try the online services at Thomas Road Baptist Church (Lynchburg, Virginia)

Mike is tremendous!

Hello guys thanks for the comments about this song.

Here.s.a.great.basssong.by.Mike.Holcomb.and.The.Inspirations

@Shining Time Station Episodes Official It's Matt Dibler. He's also now the Inspirations lead singer in the present-day.

Great harmony

That's low for a tenor, but high for a bass in his world.

your my favorite bass singer in the world today. you have the JD Sumner low with big chief's pure tone all mixed up with a little Blue Ridge Mountain twist. between you and Archie combine to produce a unique awesome style. God bless you and your family and all The Inspirations members. PS: i heard you are pastoring a Church or that you started a ministry or something to that effect. if you are pastoring a Church in Carolina i would love to come some Sunday. i am right down the road in VA.

Have you ever heard Mike sing lead? I have a tape with them doing the "Preacher Boy Quartet" and they swap parts and Mike sings lead, Troy sing bass, Archie, Baritone and Eddie sings tenor, and it's wonderful! Mike does a fantastic job on lead on that song. How many quartets do you know who can swap parts around like that? Not many!

There is nothing "impressive" about Mike Holcomb and his vocal fry. There is no body to his voice whatsoever, and it's unfortunate that so many untrained ears consider him a bass singer.

Right. that is why he won sooo many awards and lasted sooo many years. Because everyone in the gospel industry and all fans are uneducated musically. I sang in a televised choir for years w/ my mom and we were musically trained, and we knew he was excellent. if you prefer others, fine but don't be absurd. try to find the joy of God in your life. Being an elitist is not ok when its delusional.

@@dejknapp2529 You cannot deny that Holcomb uses fry for every note in the 1st octave. The only delusional people here are the ones who fail to admit that this so-called low singing is actually just amplified fry. If you like Holcomb's modal register singing, that's good. But, to claim that he's a great low bass singer in the leagues of J. D. Sumner is foolish. Take his microphone away and his "low notes" won't be heard unless you're within a few feet from him, and there's no other music playing.
