We honor the life of John Daniel “J.D.” Sumner, who was born on this day (November 19, 1924 - November 16, 1998).
Spanning an amazing career of over 50 years, J.D. Sumner will long hold the title of being one of the most innovative men in the entire music field.

J.D.’s professional singing career began in 1945 with the Sunny South Quartet in Tampa, Florida. Over the next few years, he also gained valuable experience as manager of the Dixie Lily Harmoneers.

His big break, however, came in 1949 when he was hired as bass singer for the Sunshine Boys. After a five-year stint with the Sunshine Boys, J.D. joined the Blackwood Brothers and sang some of the lowest notes in the business for the next eleven years.

In 1965, he left the Blackwoods to manage and sing bass for the Stamps Quartet. Over the next generation, J.D. and the Stamps became a fixture of the Southern Gospel Music world and became known to millions outside the gospel music community as a result of touring with Elvis Presley from 1971 to 1977.

During the 1980s, Sumner’s bass anchored yet another critically acclaimed quartet-the Masters V.

J.D. has been listed in Guiness Book of World Records as the World’s Lowest Bass Singer. J.D.’s many other contributions included the introduction of the tour bus to the music industry in 1955 and the creation of the National Quartet Convention in 1957. He also composed over 700 songs, including “The Old Country Church.” He served as Southern Gospel Music Association President from 1996 to 1998.

He was inducted in the original class of the SGMA in 1997.

K-101.9 FM and WIZK 1570 AM are located in beautiful Bay Springs, Mississippi, and has been serving the areas of Jasper, Smith, Jones, Clarke, Newton, and Simpson counties since 1971. In 2013, WIZK was acquired by Sage Communications, LLC, a Mississippi-based company whose goal is to bring local programming back to local residents. WIZK is dedicated to serving the listening area with quality programing and information, and providing that hometown approach that the Wall Street corporations have failed to provide.

Sage Communications, LLC was awarded K-101.9 FM and began broadcasting October 1, 2018. Classic Country music and the latest updates from our advertisers are our priorities. Studio and transmitting facilities are located at 150 Bay Avenue, Bay Springs, Ms. 39422

K-101.9 FM and WIZK AM are classic country radio stations. Unlike many other "Classic Country" stations today, WIZK does not limit the playlist to just a few "cream-of-the-crop" selections. Our extensive collection of music is unmatched by any other local radio station!

You also get local weather, birthdays, and other local information you may have been missing. When you tune in to K-1o1 FM and Dixie 1570 AM and listen once, you will remember what radio used to be -- what radio is supposed to be!
