Like Duane, I have been a long-time fan of J.D. Sumner, who as Duane says
could actually sing in the lowest vocal range.  But records are made to be
broken, although I doubt many woofer-testers will be able to hear the
difference - the three bass-note record holders are explained at
http://bransongs.com/ :

THE WORLD'S LOWEST BASS SINGER is Tim Storms of Branson's "50's at the Hop"
show at Branson Mall. Storms can hit a note as low as 8 hertz, inaudible to
the human ear and slightly more than an octave below the previous record of
16.5, according to a video report by KY3 News Anchor Jerry Jacobs aired
Sunday morning on Nashville's Channel 5. In the past, the title of lowest
bass singer was previously held by another Branson artist, Dan Britton of
Pierce Arrow and also the late J.D.Sumner of the Stamps Quartet.
