[@brianmiller7735]

I love The Statler Brothers so much it's hard to put into words what separates them I've been in music nut my entire life I think the greatest era of music is 1935 to 1980 The Statler Brothers had something so special it seems song after song after song was great when I lost my Elizabeth the Elizabeth album came out I must have listened to that song A thousand Times I used to watch that show on the country channel with my mom who love that show you know they had that on a few years in the 90s well I don't want to bore you just nice to talk to somebody who loves The Statler Brothers

This song, in 2020, lifts my spirits and gives me a break from reality. I am a Christian and these songs make me very happy. I didn't hear about one of the band members' death, so may he rest in peace. Country gospel vs. Modern songs. (Thumbs down this comment if you'd vote for modern, thumbs up if you'd vote for Country Gospel)

I've never been an openly religious person preferring to keep my beliefs on a personal level. I've heard this song countless times. But something compelled me to click on it and listen - and it sounded better than I'd ever heard it before.

Going to miss that tremendous voice of Harold Reid but I take comfort that along with the rest of Statler Bros he has left enough behind for me to remember and cherish their unforgettable Gospel music for a long time our loss is Heaven’s gain. God keep you Harold.

[@Grisbi6]

What a great singing group! You guys and the Oak Ridge Boys are the best ever...

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

My aunt and uncle were married at Iowa's Little Brown Church in the 50s. It is a special place.

[@jackkircher1755]

I live in Iowa, less than an hour away from the church. It is a congregational church. In the back, you can buy suveniers on the "honor system", including sheet music of the song. There are pictures of the man who wrote it before the church was even built. It makes you feel that you are in a very special sacred place as soon as you enter its doors. I found something very few people do. They have some decor trinkets on what appears to be a table but it is a portable pump (Reed) organ. That was the first style organ I ever played! That was a huge treat for me. It was folded down but I saw the bellows and foot pumps. I was in Heaven by seeing that!

[@loiskopf6162]

We sang this every Sunday when I was a kid at a real life little brown church. Love this version. Harold is effortless and Jimmy's tenor just ties it all together. Great job.

[@jackkircher1755]

I visited the "little brown church" just before moving to Iowa only an hour away in Minnesota it's incredible to actually enter it. I found out then that the sing was written not too long BEFORE the church was built. It is a Congregational Church and dozens of weddings are performed there every year. The piano and organ are back to back but I noticed something during my visit that few do. In the left side of the church there is a table with a few decorations on it. I looked UNDER it discover it WASN'T a table at all! It was an old pump (Reed) organ that may or may not have been the original organ used by the church! It was the highlight of my visit since I learned to play on one in the Seventies! WOW!

[@rhondamurff9101]

​@Jack Kircher This church is in my home town, Nashua, Iowa. I didn't know that about the pump and I also didn't know the Statler Brothers did this cover! Thx

Harold Reid had one of the best bass voices in country music. RIP

[@judyh0311]

Always a favorite group of mine and so down to earth. I went to one of their concerts in 1980 and afterwards they literally came out, sat down on the stage and met with everyone that wanted to meet with them. They chatted with us with no worry of time, no expectations , just like four men chatting with a group. So humble, so wonderful and so real. If you haven't read their book you should. Better yet, get the audio version because Harold Reid narrates it and it's wonderful.

[@jeffharper7579]

A beautiful version of a beautiful song. it is The Statlers, after all, who never made a less than perfect offering of everything they sang. I live in England, and was blessed to discover the Statler Brothers in the early 1970s, and never tire of hearing their wonderful harmonies. Country music being sung as it was intended to be sung. RIP Harold, very sad to hear of your departure. Gods' wonderful choir will be enhanced by your arrival and that incredible deep brown voice!!

Now this is the era of the music we love and treasure that always "tells a story" we all can relate to, no matter our age!! In our town, we all meet once a week with a live band each week and dance to the "oldies" country/western songs, and the "Good Time Rock 'N Roll" 1950's songs. We are the only no cigarette smoking, no alcohol drinking and no illegal drugs allowed. We had 98 customers last week. Yes, we hire 3 Security Guards to watch our vehicles. We are trying to be role models to teach the young generation they can have a lot of fun, stay out of jail and live longer by following our footsteps!! Please keep up the great music!!
