The year 2009 marks the 47th anniversary celebrating the legacy of J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet. Formed originally in 1924, the Stamps name boasts the longest history of any quartet in gospel music industry. That longevity would have been impossible without the blood, sweat and tears of J. D. Sumner. One name is synonymous with the other. That is a part of gospel music history and cannot be ignored.
It began in 1962, when business partners; J. D. Sumner and James Blackwood of the famed Blackwood Brothers Quartet, purchased the Dallas-based, Stamps Quartet Music Company from Mr. Frank Stamps. After purchasing the historic company, immediate plans were put in motion to once again give rebirth to the Stamps Quartet name. This reformation was under the direction, guidance and creative mind of J.D. Sumner.
J,D, remained as the bass singer with the Blackwood Brothers until 1965, when he made the decision that would prove to be the most pivotal point in the destiny of the Stamps Quartet. Sumner left the Blackwood Brothers Quartet and became the bass singer with the Stamps, creating what would be forever recognized as J. D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet. He was finally home!
