[@Paladin70]

OMG, I’ve been asking for these guys for two years. They were a great Southern Gospel quartet that transitioned into Country just as the Oak Ridge Boys did and around the same time. They are a “must get acquainted” group in the Country genre, having won 9 CMA Vocal Group Of The Year awards in the 13 years from ‘72-‘84, so not just a run of the mill group. Check out Do You Know You Are My Sunshine, Bed of Rose’s, Elizabeth, I’ll Go To My Grave Loving You and, for a very touching story about a mother who lost a son in VietNam, More Than A Name On A Wall (Amber may cry). **An interesting side note, none of them are named Statler, although two are brothers, Don & Harold Reid. Sadly Harold, with the deep bass voice, died 4 years ago this month. Thank you for finally getting around to them.

[@compassion686]

So Don and Harold Reid are distant cousins of mine. I heard from my mother that they got their name from a box of Statler tissues. That was the story I was told all my life. Their grandmother and my great grandmother were sisters. Most of the family is buried at Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Mount Sidney, Virginia, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Been there many times. So beautiful.

[@Paladin70]

@@compassion686 I was fortunate to see them three times. My musical tastes run the gamut from doo wop, 60s rock and pop, 70s classic rock, bluegrass and country. As a result of listening to such a variety on road trips my two daughters, who are 44 and 33, are the same way. In fact, The Statler Brothers was my younger daughter’s very first concert at about age 7 or 8, and she loved “the big funny guy” (I did too)!!! 👍🏼😁

[@compassion686]

@@Paladin70 Wow ! That's so cool having seen them. three times. I knew the family relation all my life but never did get to see them. Had a great aunt and uncle that I visited every time I went to Mount Sidney, Virginia (it's right outside of Staunton) and they knew the brothers well. My great uncle retired from Dupont and bought six acres for like next to nothing in Mount Sidney. Beautiful land in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I'll always remember him saying he'd rather be a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond. I can't even imagine what the property is worth today.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

One of the biggest surprises of my high school years was when Linda Brocato asked me to Sadie Hawkins. That was the one dance that the girls asked the guys to a dance. Saturday mornings were sacred. Every 70's kid got up early to watch cartoons. You paused the video on the late, great actor Robert Mitchum. I actually had The Official Polish Joke Book, If you turned over it was the Official Italian Joke Book. There were also the Official Black/White Joke Books, Prudes/Sex Maniacs, and so on. We made fun of ourselves and others back then. All would be banned today. There are Piggly Wiggly's here in metro Atlanta, and I vowed that I would buy something at one, because...shopping at Piggly Wiggly! Cigars used to come with gold paper rings on them, some kids used to wear them like rings. Smoking was much more common when I was a kid. People used to be allowed to smoke on buses, in stores, on elevators and in theatres...

And we used to get candy cigarettes and bubblegum cigars.

So fun, I do remember these. Flowers on the Wall , Bed of Roses, are a great ones and their version of "Daddy Sang Bass".

[@edwardimhoff3106]

Their blend of voices is a Barber Shop Style. That is what you were thinking when you mentioned the striped vests and the straw hats. Barber Shop Quartets. The only other Country group that had this style in spades was The Oakridge Boys. Now you have a similar blend in Home Free. I can sing low like Harold. Since early high school I could sing low like Harold and High like Frankie Valley. You will cry when you hear them sing 'More Than A Name On A Wall'. Save it for Memorial Day. That is when it will really hit home. The Viet Nam Memorial is a big black "V" shaped Wall with 58,000 names of Dead American Soldiers on it. 'More Than Just A Name On A Wall is the Staler Brothers singing about just one of those names. Find it. Use it for Memorial Day. ... Go Sooners !

[@reneeeiier4818]

Gee, Elizabeth is probably my least favorite Statler song. I am not overly fond of Jimmy's tenor... it is just a bit more shrill than Lew's, and it is all I hear in Elizabeth.

"The Class of '57" was my favorite song from them, it made me wonder where all of my classmates ended up. I used to love the Statler Brothers but I had forgotten them, so thank you for bringing back some great memories!

[@mikephillips2707]

So glad there are folks like you who appreciate the generations gone by. So much in this is so familiar to me (I’m 67) and brings back memories of a simpler time.

[@brt5273]

I love these harmony groups but the Statlers are my fave. Try: "I'll Go to My Grave Lovin You" "Elizabeth" "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine" "Silver Medals and Sweet Memories" "Hello Mary Lou" "Bed of Roses" ... I have to stop or I'll list their ehole catalog but they are all really great❤ Also brings to mind The Forester Sisters who sang Country harmony like this. They were huge in the late 80s thru early 90s. Sad that we hear hardly anything about them anymore. Try: "(I'd Choose) You Again" "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes" "That's What You Do When You're in Love" "Lyin in His Arms Again" "I Fell in Love Again Last Night"

[@gkiferonhs]

The Piggly Wiggly was the first of what we'd call a supermarket today - a store where you go and get your own groceries. Before then you would come up to the counter and hand the grocer your list, the grocer would then go get your order and hand it to you. I think PW also was the first store to use the shopping cart.

[@jhonyermo]

Hell NO, A&P was doing that before Hoggly Woggly

[@jennifermartin7791]

As you said, so nostalgic and fun. This is one of the cutest and most charming of the Statler Brothers songs. It always makes me smile. PS: I'm from Indiana. The first time I saw a Piggly Wiggly was when I was 9 years old, and we traveled to Georgia to visit my Southern relatives. I thought "What a funny name for a grocery store." But apparently tons of people shopped there back in the day. Who knew? :)

[@chrisoakley5830]

I think they still have a Piggly Wiggly in Danville, Va.

[@user-ep4oc2tb8y]

I worked for 8 yrs at Statler Tissue Company, we always got a kick out of hearing the Staler Brother got their name from a tissue box in a hotel room. They are so awesome! You need to check out "I'll got my Grave loving you" (my fav) and Flowers on The Wall, Do You Know You Are My Sunshine, Bed of Rose’s, OH, and another fav is "Shirley Jean Burrell" LOL< they are just such a fun band!!

[@chrisedwards7095]

Love the Statlers! They were Harold and Don Reid, Phil Balsley, and Lew DeWitt. When Lew retired he was replaced by Jimmy Fortune, who's still performing today. Their song "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott" is about their love of old movies. They also sang "We Got Paid by Cash" and "The Official Historian on Shirley Jean Berrell".

The Statler Brothers had a long and successful career lasting more than 40 years. They made a wide variety of music including love songs, story songs, patriotic songs, funny songs, etc. Patriotic/Soldier/Veteran songs include "Silver Medals and Sweet Memories" and the incredibly moving "More Than a Name on a Wall." Other great and interesting songs include "Elizabeth", "Bed of Roses" "Class of 57", "Thank You World" and many, many more. A good funny song is "Butterfly Tatoo." The Statler Brothers can be a very deep and fun rabbit hole.

"Flowers on the Wall" is one of my favorite songs ever. These guys were huge! They had so many great songs. I got to see them at a county fair when I was a kid and I'll never forget it.

[@malcolmr3]

The picture of 4 guys sitting on stools is the Statler Brothers and the guy far left is Harold (the deep voice). Y’all should do “Class of 57”, it’s their biggest song and is about themselves and the high school class they graduated with and what became of them. GREAT SONG!!! There used to be Piggly Wigglys everywhere and there’s still a few around usually in small towns. I know there’s still one in the little town of Ninety-Six, SC that’s the only grocery (or any other largish) store in town. This song brings back so many memories. 🤔

[@jrox6091]

My mother had 3 main favorites: Tennessee Ernie Ford, Johnny Cash and The Statler Brothers. She bought an album of theirs in the 70s that she & her friend played & sang with so much that to this day when I hear This Bed of Roses it zooms me back to my teen years, church, and her music. She is 89 now with dementia and a few months back I picked her up from her board & care home & played that song for her in the car. She asked me to turn it up and was soon singing along, remembering every lyric. 🥲 I agree with those who suggest Flowers on the Wall as your next SB reaction. It's arguably their best, it's upbeat and the lyrics are wry and clever. Quentin Tarantino liked it enough to include in the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction (the scene where Bruce Willis, after refusing to throw a fight, is at a stoplight and he's singing along to FOTW on the car radio.) Blessings❤

[@Jude_196]

YEA!!! Ya'll FINALLY got back around to the Statler Brothers! They were one of my FAVS, back in the day!! LOVE THEM!! Amber's gonna LOVE THIS ONE!!! Jay - you'll GET that quartet feeling from them!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!

Thank you so much!! They were Mon’s favorite group (Jim Reeves was her favorite singer). Thursday will be 16 years since we lost her, so she’s been on my mind quite a bit. The Statler Brothers had such a great wealth of songs. I hope you do more of them, especially “I’ll Go To My Grave Loving You”, “Flowers On The Walk”, “Bed of Roses”, and “Class of ‘57”. “Class of ‘57” is so relatable to anyone who graduated high school, no matter what year is yours.

I am 100% a rock and roll, but have always loved the Statler Brothers (and the Oak Ridge Boys). Both groups were favorites of my aunt, and I spent most of the 70s and 80s listening to them. As an aside, I went to Europe back in 1981 with a youth group, and one of the songs we had on our mix tape while on the bus was Counting Flowers on the Wall, probably my favorite Statlers song. I can still hear all 33 of us high school kids screaming at the top of our lungs “counting flowers on the wall - 1,2,3,4!”

Jimmy Fortune has written what I guess could be a sequel to "More Than a Name on a Wall" that he has performed with the group Brothers of the Heart that is on KZbin. He has also written "Meet Me at Arlington", which is just as moving.

[@mcm0324]

Memories of my brother and me in the 70s, laying in the back of our wood paneled station wagon, (as far away as we could get from the front seat) and my parents singing this, and especially Flowers on the Wall, from the 8-track player. My father loved the Statler Brothers. (It was so embarrassing when we were 7 and 6 years old! 🤣) Twenty years later, I was living in Virginia (not far from their hometown of Staunton, VA), and we surprised my father by taking him to Staunton. They were having a hometown concert for the 4th of July. But to see how happy he was at the concert is cherished forever. ❤ (We also all wore seatbelts in our non-panelled SUV! 😂)

[@jealousjelly1]

Wow! Thank you for reacting to the Statler Brothers, one of my favorite groups of all time. Saw them in concert several times in the late 60s and early 70s and they were so much fun. They were voted the country vocal group of the year nine times by the Country Music Association and were elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008. But there was so much more to them than that. They were a great gospel group and are members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The group -- especially bass singer Harold Reid -- had a terrific sense of humor and they recorded two comedy albums that I loved. Thank you for reacting this special group.

[@user-qh9rg3fq9x]

Thanks!!! These are my guys!!!! I've loved them all of my life ... literally. They are awesome. Hilarious. They are just as good live as they are on their albums. Their music is mostly nostalgic, comedic, and gospel. They do love songs, heartbreak songs, but almost never any bar or drinking songs ( I can think of only 2 or 3 from their very earliest days with Johnny and after they went on their own absolutely none.) . They are unique and are still known as "The Most Awarded Act in the history of Country Music" Johnny Cash loved them and so do I. I miss them so much!!! 😭 After 40 years of records and tours they retired in 2003. The Bass singer (Harold Reid) was the funniest man and the brother of the lead singer (Don Reid). The Tenor in this (Lou Dewitt) left the group in 1982 because he had a deadly stomach disease. He died a few years later but was replaced by Jimmy Fortune who stayed with the band to their retirement. Jimmy still records country and gospel albums and does concerts to this day and gave the Statlers some of their biggest hits in the 80's. There are great live performances on KZbin to see and their Farewell Concert is WORTH watching in its entirety. They also had the number one rated cable TV show on the Nashville Network, in the 90's that ran for 7 years and had so many hilarious comedy skits and great country artists all while continuing to record albums. They were deeply patriotic too. They also held a free 4th of July concert in their home town of Staunton Virginia annually. The lead singer has, since retirement, wrote a number of great books and one of them tells the story behind every song they ever recorded!!!! What a fascinating and great read! They were all Christians and always included at least one gospel song on every album, and every so often would release entire gospel albums. They also have two EXCEPTIONAL Christmas albums and a Christmas TV special based on the second such album. They were inducted into both the Country music Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. I could go on and on. Suffice to say I LOVE these guys!!!! Their music got me through the first 40 years of my life, and I still listen to them today!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeease go down the rabbit hole with them. They will blow you away with their harmonies, music, comedy, and patriotism. Thank you for reacting to these guys. You've made an old man happy today!!!! So few reactors have had them on their channels. You two are AWESOME!!!

[@donaldriddle230]

Love me some Statler Brothers. They've been great for years. I loved the original group but when Jimmy Fortune came on to sing Tenor, they went to an all new level. One of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear is their song, More Than a Name on a Wall. It is a song about a family's love for their son who gave his life in Vietnam,(or any other battlefield) in service to our nation. And a Mother's Prayer to God to pass on to her son that to them, He is More than a name on a wall!! Jimmy Fortune delivers the emotions so effectively, you will definitely need tissues.

The person on the far right is Jimmy Fortune. He is singing with a group called Brothers of the Heart. They are so good. The groups harmonies are out of this world.❤

A lot of great quartet groups originally started from gospel quartets like the Fairfield four, the Blackwood Brothers, the Statesman quarter, the Cathedral quartet. Some sang acapella - ie- no musical instruments, and some quartets on used a piano. But the harmony of of the quartets was and still is incredible!

What a fun song. Blast from the past. I miss soda shops and mom and pop stores. Ahh, the good 'ol days.❤

Their song "Flowers on the Wall" was featured in "Pulp Fiction"

68 year old Virginia hillbilly here. I remember when the Statler Brothers were traveling around the mts, singing in churches and trying to get recognition. We was really proud when they got picked up by Johnny Cash " We were paid by Cash" tells about itt.

Thank you so much for playing that. I’ve never seen that video or heard that song before. That was so much fun.!!

My granddaddy LOVED The Statler Brothers! He could sing this song from start to finish and he had a beautiful voice 💖 Now you kids have to check out "Flowers On The Wall"

[@Asinnersavedbygrace-lc1fy]

I cannot count the number of times I have seen the Statler Brothers in concert (and I have not seen very many different artists in concert). I think I had all of their records (LPs on vinyl). One of my favorite facts about them is that when they were trying to come up with a name for the group, they saw a box of Statler facial tissues in the motel room. They could have been the Kleenex Brothers, if it had been a different brand in the room. 😃

Mom&Dad had an Album…Statler Brothers with the Boston Pops…..Flowers on the Wall is a Classic!!!

[@Almaintx]

I am 59 years old. I was born in 1964 this song brought back alot of memories, The Statler Brothers and the Oakridge Boys were my mom's favorite groups. I watched the Statler Brothers on TV and listened to their records as well.

[@roswails1492]

saw the statler brothers many times ... last one was with the oakridge boys in norfolk neb,,,,,,there with my mom and grandmother it was the last concert that we all went too,,,, grandmother passed and 4 months later my mom passed ,,, they both loved these guys as do i

[@caretaker158]

I remember listening to them throughout my childhood... still got an 8 track of theirs around here somewhere. My mom often commented that "Class of '57" was timeless because there's not a single graduating class anywhere, no matter the year, no matter the location, that doesn't have those people in it.

[@cathycampbell3577]

I still have several of their albums passed down by my mom. My favorite was Flowers on the Wall! Their gospel music was very good too!

[@Shoey77100]

the Statler Bros were a big hit with my parents, they played 8track of Best of the Statler Bros over and over again, I grew up with is in one ear and 70's classic rock in the other ear.

The Statler's home town was Staunton, Virginia. They often got requests to support local charities, so they would put on a free Happy Birthday America concert in the baseball field of the town's city park for the 4th of July weekend, along with guest bands. Organizations would set up games and concessions to raise money and people came from all over the country (and some foreign countries). Folks would put their info in a box and Harold (the guy with the bass voice and the jokester) would read the results to the audience when the Statlers came on to perform and close the show. After a long idyllic day in small town America in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, as the last song ended, a great fireworks display was the perfect final act - followed by everybody trying to leave town at once and head back to the rat race. Both happy and sad.

My dad was in the Army from 1954 to 1956. During that time, he bought his mom (my grandma) a record player. I was born in 1974 and I remember her playing the Statler Brothers quite often on that record player. I would say they were her favorite. Grandma passed away in 1982 when I was only 8, so I don’t have a lot of memories about her but I do remember that. My favorites from the Statler Brothers are Do You Know You Are My Sunshine and How Great Thou Art.
