Statler Brothers - Too much on my heart

[@jamesstreet228]

Jimmy has the most beautiful male tenor voice I've ever heard.

[@glendagaskin151]

I agree. It was a God granted place for him. I believe Don was especially in tune with the Lord’s will. I certainly could be mistaken but I do believe they were committed Christians.

[@Davids508]

No words can describe the joy that these gentlemen brought to so many of us fans.Over 50 years together(3 of the 4 originals),totally unheard of..50 years of the best music this side of anywhere.God Bless you Statler Brothers,and rest easy Lew,you'l never be forgotten.Folks,,just cherish this music,there wont be any more like it..

[@extremeocd1184]

In this live farewell concert Don stated they'd been singing and traveling for over 40 years....but who's counting right? I too loved Lew and had a hard time accepting Jimmy in the beginning. Lew was all I knew but I came around and love Jimmy!!! Lew had a unique voice, they both do for that matter but I believe Jimmy's voice is a lot stronger than Lew's was? RIP Lew and Harold!!! I'll see you on the other side....... when God calls me home!!

[@happyolddude]

Would Lew have written 'Elizabeth, Too Much On My Heart or My Only Love?' All written by Mr. Jimmy Fortune and all Number One songs and all awarded song of the year! So I ask again would Lew have done that? Get off Jimmys back please as he has done a tremendous job and forged his own career AND has always been very gracious about Lew! Did The Statlers need Jimmy more? We will never know that!

[@Paladin70]

With absolutely no disrespect to Lew, to my ears the Statlers, already a great group, got even better with the addition of Jimmy Fortune, one of the best tenors I’ve ever heard.

[@RamTrucks590]

​@@Paladin70I liked lew and still love his contributions to the Statler Brothers. He wrote Flowers on the wall, one of my favorites. Jimmy was a great addition after Lew had to stop touring.

[@Paladin70]

@@RamTrucks590 Lew, suffering from Crohn’s disease and knowing he had to at least be replaced temporarily, had heard Jimmy sing and is actually the one who invited Jimmy to audition to be his fill-in, which later that year became his permanent replacement. True fans should be appreciative of what both brought to the group, as both men truly appreciated each other.

[@bgbalser7311]

At the age of 16 I started singing in a local gospel quartet singing lead mainly by the influence of the Statler brothers. I learned to sing tenor by listening to Lew DeWitt. I listened to and enjoyed these guys for years. I shed tears when I heard Lew passed. I had a chance to attend their farewell concert, but I knew it would be too painful for me. I’m 64 now and I miss them every day. Thank God for KZbin. God be with you guys…

[@mosrite60]

Amazing song by probably the best country quartet ever. Man, we'd have to go ten miles to hear songs as this again. Statler's amazing group.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

When Lewis had to retire because of his health many thought it would be the end of The Statler's. They had a brief slump on the charts but then Jimmy Fortune joined and a couple of his compositions -"Elizabeth" and "My Only Love" went to #1 and they were back on top. Fortune didn't try to replace Lew but added his own identity and talent to the group.

[@sylviawald1174]

My most favorite is his award winning "Too Much On My Heart" ❤

[@FrankietheLawDog]

He did change their sound, but in a very good way.

You are right, nobody else like the statlers.

[@agnesfredericksen9892]

I really only liked the Statlers when Jimmy became part of the group , in fact we made the long trip to Nashville just to watch their tapings! But their is a much better group now if only they decide to become a permanent group ! You might want to check them out “Brotherly Love “ Jimmy is also now recording with them and the harmony with this group is unbelievable and second to none !

[@maryhill7694]

There will never be a group like the Statlers. I loved Lew and didn't think anyone could replace him. Jimmy didn't, he brought a freshness that was a short in the arm to an already magnificent group, both in singing, songwriting, and showmanship. Thank God for videos like this! They can continue to bless us with their harmony and wit for ages to come.

[@jerrylyons5970]

The best of the rest in Country Music!!!

[@coachga2]

The thing that made the Statlers so great was their harmony! They all had very good voices individually. But the “whole” of their sound together was even greater than the sum of their parts.

[@MrLuvtheUSA]

When the group lost a brother due to death, finding someone to replace that part is often difficult. The Statler Brothers did a wonderful job picking Jimmy. This song is built just for him. The Brothers dominated the country music scene in the 70's, and left a lasting impression, and some great music to enjoy.

@TheJanka51 LOOK at who is being STUPID. After Jimmy joined the Statlers, they went on another 22 years before they retired with many hit songs. Even Lew stated that Jimmy joining the group reignited them and gave them many more years of stardom after going stagnant . I wouldn't say Jimmy was better than Lew but brought a fresh approach to the music they sang. Lew was very talented and had a unique voice.
