Still listening to this in 2024!

[@patriciaadams-rl4iz]

I think The Starlet Brothers, will definitely go down in history as the best group in Country Music History❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lauraarmstrong8947]

My daddy was from Clay, he loved this song

[@lj8248]

I love these guys.since first time i heard them 1974 to 1975 born in 1970

[@lonelyinterstellar2689]

I'm the one of the very few guys born after 2000, who fell in love with their music will continue to admire their music throughout my life.

[@billymarshall7277]

These guys were magic. They were my first concert in 1975. I miss them. May Harold rest in peace, free from pain. Prayers of comfort to the Reid family and the other Brothers. You gave us years of love. God bless.

[@connienania486]

These guys are Irreplaceable how fortunate our generation is to have had them .just compare rap music to this gold and you will see what is wrong with our wonderful country. RIP Harold you will be missed but never forgotten

[@kevinswinyer3176]

May Harold Reid RIP. He is gone, but he will be forever loved, and missed by Millions of Fans World Wide. He passed away at home on 4/24/20, following a brave battle with Kidney failure, according to his Nephew, Langdon Reid, Son of Former Lead Singer, Don Reid.

[@georgeherod4252]

Wow! I would have loved to see them in person. I wonder why they didn't play more. But I never saw them in concert, only in their tv show.

[@ronaldtoms7898]

The Statler Brothers have always been a class act. I still love to hear their music. RIP Harold Reid, Gone But Not Forgotten 🎼

[@user-yt7kb9bd5l]

[@jefferycordes2505]

[@ronbliss7482]

Harold, Phil Everly, George, Cash and so many other of our country singing hero's laid to rest. I thank God for their music that will forever be endured. "Elvis has left the Building."❤

[@victorwadsworth821]

R.I.P. Harold Reid.

[@oldman1046]

Where does the time go? I sure do miss their music...great harmony!

[@jeffreyherring5079]

The backbone of true country music are the story songs and The Statlers were masters on them.

[@susannahwatson6114]

These men are the very definition of true Southern Gentleman. I've had the honor of meeting them several times and everytime I do I thank God for two things one that my dad bought that first album and two that the Statler Brothers are from Virginia. I've been a fan my whole life.

[@thalamus2miller515]

Actually Phil Don & Harold are from Staunton and originally Jimmy Fortune was from outside of Stanton but in Virginia somewhere in Virginia and Lou DeWitt the original founding tenor was also from Staunton all four of these are homegrown Virginia boys I grew up in Hillsville Virginia down near the North Carolina line in the Southwest loved these guys since I was a child Southern 4-part Harmony is unmatchable they're amazing wish they were still singing

[@QWZXM]

Been a fan too of this wonderful group for many many years- Greetings from newfoundland, Canada.

[@jamesbridgewater9195]

My brother had the privilege of meeting them backstage. He said they were very humble and kind.

[@lynnetteflottum4303]

It just doesn't get any better than this group !!

[@TammyFleck-tc9tp]

I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this song! Didn’t know Harold played “magic dobro”!

[@kelliscarbrough9580]

Rest In Peace Harold Reid. My prayers to the Statlers remaining and the Reid family.

[@alicejune7749]

Rip Harold. God bless your family and the other Starlets. I will miss the Statler's music6 and especially your live shows.

I'm from Clay, KY

[@maryelliott2375]

I have loved the Statler Brothers since the first time I ever heard them. I loved Lew, Phil, Harold and Jimmy. But my heart belongs to Don.

[@randirobins8186]

I love you music

[@carolekohlschmidt6899]

Great song.

[@karinnatolotto6259]

Just love the Statlers. I listen to the every night.

[@sarahsaville6829]

Awwwhhhh take me back man! I grew up on the Statler Brothers!!!

[@peggywatson9206]

[@mikefournier2601]

They were so good the best of the groups out there .they put on fun shows .i loved watching there .upper michigan state fair in Escanaba it was great to be there an seeing them .we were standing just a few feet from the stage .

[@bobbyrichards6996]

God bless you harold

[@lindablevins9094]

Love there voice and their music 🎶

[@lindablevins9094]

@Greg Normal yes I love their music

[@alicetarver6891]

The world will miss you, Harold. Rip

[@fpoasec]

The quartet owes its unique sound to the combination of all the guys, but I love Phil's smoooooth voice.

[@jeffcordes1744]

Francis Alan, Me too. I always say they proved time travel is real. They take me back to a simple friendlier time.

[@randirobins8186]

Rest in peace

[@matildaharden1064]

I love them. I like it when Lew was with them too.

[@wandaboomhower4699]

There'll never be another Lew.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

Although Don sang lead and wrote many of their hits Lew was the unofficial leader and their musical director. Lew wrote their first hit in 1965 "Flowers on The Wall" while they were still part of Johnny Cash's entourage.

[@rose473]

I agree that they are the best male quartet that has ever been. I also like the way Wil and Langdon do this song. Very talented all of them.

[@barbaradraxlir1654]

The STATLER'S are the best group. That was the best thing The Nashville Network ever did by giving them their own TV show. It was one of the best.

[@patsythompson3815]

I love don

[@codyyoung4236]

This is a well made group

[@lpodruchny]

I'll go to my grave loving these guys!!!!! It doesn't get much better than this...............

[@lindachandler2293]

I live a very few miles from Clay Kentucky 😊

[@KevinBenecke]

And just think how it will be once we do and we get to hear all of the greats again.

[@dianem4188]

Wow, that could be a great song 🤪

[@davidcorbett9809]

So square they're hip. Emotion unthrottled.

[@cecileking9710]

I agree with you Richard. Give My Love To Rose brought my tears.

[@patsythompson3815]

Don is the best

[@maryulrich2805]

His voice has only improved with age. So smooth and strong! I've had a crush on him for a long time!!!

[@zaneeicher3040]

I agree. I love how he uses the deeper part of his voice more than most lead singers who seem like they're always straining at the top of their range. Imo he is the best lead singer in country/gospel bar none.

[@deemontana6835]

Sure miss them especially Harold 😢

[@camh6328]

The two groups I liked the best are The Statler Brothers and The oak ridge boys

[@jerrscott6373]

Sadly, the Oak Ridge Boys don't have much left in the tank. Figure them to scale it back or retire in another couple of years. Other groups that I like include Home Free, Signature Sound, Booth Brothers, and Triumphant Quartet. Check those groups out if you haven't already done so. All good. I would highly recommend them to see in concert.

[@Mary-zj9jz]

Wilson Fairchild is good too

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Love these guys, love these guys, love these guys!!!

[@maryannanderson7517]

I live in Nashville and many years ago I had the opportunity to go see The Statlers in concert in a little town southeast of Nashville and they were outstanding. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. I have been a fan of The Statlers since they released Flowers on the Wall and they just kept releasing hit after hit. I don't know of any group, country or otherwise, who has harmony as beautiful as the Statlers. I know that everyone has to retire eventually but I sure hated it when these guys retired. I am delighted to find so many videos of the Statler songs on KZbin. Thanks for posting this.

[@primroseharan9749]

Fantastic great song from the brilliant statlers

[@micklow1801]

Absolutely fabulous. Superb.

[@annettedubois2998]

You are the best love ya all

[@margaretgallant2971]

[@QWZXM]

Still listening to them-my favorite country group.

[@maryannedaugherty8722]

I went to college at Eastern Kentucky University. Been to Clay many times. Isn't that where Mohammad Ali (Cassius Clay) was born and raised? Wonderful little place in the 60s

[@mreddiemush]

These guys were always the ultimate professionals. Been a fan since 1981.

[@harrisonbeckett1545]

They are so incredible it is hard to comment

[@raybobkowalski2154]

What talent,sure do miss there sounds

[@patsythompson3815]

Love Don

[@williamhartwig4388]

It breaks my heart to see them sing knowing that Harold is gone it reminds me that my brother is going also and I miss him a lot unless I'm sure the other Statler Brothers do. God bless Harold

[@carolyncook-sy7dh]

😢R.I.P. Harold and Lew! The Statlers, the best.

[@slickman8691]

One of my live favs from these guys. Shows how versatile they all are.

[@mreddiemush]

Wow, I remember watching and/or recording all of these awesome shows in the 90's. I still have them all on DVD now, transferred from VHS. I will never forget all those great performances.

[@suesmith5212]

1990 Statler brothers weekly tv program can you show me these.

[@JudyMema]

Phil has so Much Talent,He can fill in anywhere Don slips up on a note or Jimmy ! I don'think I realized He was so valuable (great worth) Because He is More (quiet)! When We saw Them in concerts it was in the 60's or seventy's Herald was SO OUTGOING & Don was quiet But Herald brought Him Out! We were Kids than ! Didn't really look for what We would NOW!

[@susannahwatson6114]

Phil is my favorite.

[@reecejohn3249]

listen to them every day fantastic

[@susannahwatson6114]

Yeah I do too. They are my strength.

[@michellemills1885]

Odd, I was voted Future Citizen of Clay back in 1964...I never thought there would b a song written for a place so small...and yes, 32 years have gone by and I have moved back to Clay, Ky.

I really love this!

[@austinfoe1510]

I live in Clay 😂🙏

[@suzieQ195]

Love it!!

[@EclecticHillbilly]

If you like this, you should check out the version by Wil and Langdon Reid, sons of Harold and Don. Harold's son Wil sings the lead. They formerly performed as Grandstaff and now go under the name Wilson Fairchild.

[@KevinBenecke]

Here's a link if anyone is interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGGQZqehobSaY5I

[@karensu2669]

I love Wilson Fairchild’s music! Can’t wait to get their CD’s. Saw the Statler Brothers performance along with Johnny Cash concert in 1972. I was 14 and fell in love Harold Reid. His humor was off the charts and TSB were such talented ppl. I’ve played their music and JC too since then. They all sang of the working class, military, and/or struggling ppl.

[@jonkenas8698]

Great. Just great 😀

[@leeneoums6006]

I know were Clay, Kentucky is. Use to hang out there when I was younger

[@marryannlamb9853]
