The Statler Brothers - I'll Go To My Grave Loving You (1975 - Pop Goes The Country)

[@lynhamilton4515]

wow. this song is nearly 50 years old. still one of the best songs and best groups ever.

[@Christophermark-k4g]

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

You just can't beat real Country like this, and this is real Country.

Hello, how are you doing

[@46reno]

Lew had an amazing tenor voice. No one compares.

[@claylyons6447]

I read a couple articles on him, courtesy of the internet. He was very humble and down to earth. But he suffered from crohns disease most of his life. I'm glad I got to see them in concert 4 times in the 1980's. They were the best.i still listen to their music in 2024.

[@mcrenshaw3364]

Lew is amazing. Don Rich was another great.

Susan Cantrell, I was married to my husband for 41 wonderful years, before he passed away. He also wanted me to play this song at his funeral. I did

[@christianwatson2032]

Great job ma'am...I ask my kids to play my favorite songs at my funeral...music has helped me thru this life

[@suenesnidal2600]

Exceptional moving song, w many memories 😢

[@tomsawyer5902]

The nostalgia of music is a bittersweet thing. I can close my eyes and it's late Sunday morning and I am waking up to the sound of The Statler Brothers being played so loud I can barely hear the vacuum cleaner. The windows are open, and a cool breeze fills my parents’ home with a slight chill and the pleasant aromas of Spring. I'll get out of bed and mom will stop what she is doing, but not turn off the music, to make me breakfast before kicking me out of the house for the rest of the day. My mom's been gone for well over twenty years, but I cannot hear the Statler Brothers and not think of her.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

For a Teen in the 70s,who Hated Country Music, I did like 1972's 'Do you remember these?' The in 1986 when Pop Music went to Sh&*, and (C)rap came along, Country started sounding better. One of my First Country Cassettes was "The Best of the Statler Brothers". I still listen to the Album as mp3 in my current cars. Great Singers. I have the Farwell Concert DVD, and it too is excellent

[@janicesimmons6764]

My late husband of 49 years used to sing this song to me! He now sings n God’s Heavenly Choir!

Let's hope there are some Statler Brothers songs up there.

[@susancantrell991]

My husband always loved this song. and asked me to have it played at his funeral if he should pass before me..He passed away in April of 2004, after a short seven week battle with lung cancer. On his last trip to the hospital, he was more concerned about me than himself so he spent most of our time in the emergency room telling me jokes.. there wasn't a day in our 33 years together that he didn't tell me he loved me, or kiss me goodbye., and that's the way he left this earth..I honored his wishes and had this played at this funeral.

Me and my girlfriend used to spend Saturday nights riding and listening to these songs on 8 track.We were engaged but cancer took her the summer we were to be married.That was 42 years ago and I never found anyone else.

The Statlers were so much more than four guys singing together. Their harmonizing and vocal blending was superb.

God divinely sent Jimmy to you. I just thank you for your testimony and singing down through the years. I have been blessed.

I Loved to listen to them while i held all 3 of my kids. Rocked them all to sleep listening to them. Memories are amazing. 💗🙏💗

[@extremeocd1184]

My husband and I both love and loved this song. I was a bigger Statler brothers fan than he was but he still loved them. I lost him this past New Years Eve suddenly, without warning. We had said goodnight the night before about 9:00-10:00. He had gotten up sometime in the middle of the night and had a massive heart attack and fell to the floor. I found him the next morning around 9:00. The coroner said, in his estimation, he had been gone around 8-10 hours! I've never been in as much shock! We were married 41 years.....together about 43 years. I know without a doubt that he went to his grave loving me! When we'd hear this song he would always say "that's absolutely how I feel and it's the truth". I miss him so much. I don't know how to get through each day without him! I'm leaning on God to get me through!!

[@lindaderr1927]

Their concert was equally as terrific. ❤😊

[@tomswinburn1778]

Imagine that. No fireworks necessary, just talent and a real connection with their audience. A bunch of today's artists think they need a circus to hold their audience. Maybe they do, but even with the theatrics their version of country doesn't grab me like this.

[@Ejvan3376]

Yeah, I completely disagree with you. The Statler Brothers are the greatest group of all time period. No need to put "country" in there.

[@edwardcollins8102]

Sorry, I'll concede they're a good group, but greatest Country group? Not a chance, as pointed out, there's the Oak Ridge Boys, but there's also Alabama, Shenandoah, and the super-group, The Highwaymen.

[@edwardcollins8102]

@@Ejvan3376 Not even close. They hit top 5 country groups, but come nowhere near greatest group. You have The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, the Beach Boys, (and if duets count as groups) The Righteous Brothers and Jan and Dean. Good group, to be sure, but not a top group.

[@rob2132]

I love that song! Back in the day in the 70’s,80’s my parents always listened on the radio Sunday mornings before church and this song was often played I remember saying can’t we listen to kcld was a rock station,my dad would say no,so I’d have to listen to there station while I was getting ready for church. Now in my late 50’s I love this kind of country music,I wish CMT would be what it used to be country music station with all country programs.
