The Statler Brothers - The Other Side of the Cross [Live]

[@peggykeller7118]

This song alone should have Don Reid in the Songwriters Hall of Fame..beautiful.

[@jeffclark7888]

Did Don write that song? I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote it.

He will get his reward. This song is so selflessly written and just so beautiful

[@glendagaskin151]

I believe they wrote it together but I’m not sure.

The Statler Brothers are the best gospel group I have ever heard. What a blessing from the Lord.

[@gertrudemiles4461]

I think it is so touching how Harold and Phil lean on each other at the end of the hymn - best friends!

[@shirleyjackson5929]

This song is sooooo beautiful and nobody can sing it like the statlers

[@ojadkins]

I gotta give a shout out to the Lord. I play guitar and sing here and there. During the covid I like everyone else was sidelined. To get by, I prayed to the Lord to send me some new gospel songs ( when I play I always include at least two gospels). The Lord heard my pray and sent me songs so fast that I could NOT keep up. On 6/19/21 I was able to give an all gospel concert. A precious older woman as me if I knew this song. I had never heard it before. She asked me to try it out and please do it for her someday. I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. Listened to this song this morning...Thank You Lord for sending this my way. I plan on giving Him all the glory and honor when I get the chance to perform it in the near future.

Magical?????

[@huwhodges56]

Apart from everything else that’s been said about this inspirational performance, I must tip my proverbial hat to the arrangement and production. It’ll be hard to ever better this incredible performance, all I can say is perfection. I’m forever grateful to have been able to listen to the Stattler brothers over many years, and all the glory and praise goes to God Almighty who gave us these multitalented gentlemen. This is one of my very favourite pieces of music, ever. Rest in peace Harold, you were truly a gift from The Lord Himself.

Rest in Peace Harold. Thank you for being a wonderful class act.

It is so hard to accept the fact that Harold Reid on April 24, 2020! He was the best bass singer. Love all of their songs...

[@maeneisler2313]

He's gone but I miss them all and their music. Their sound clean humor

But Praise The Lord that Harold is in the Glory of The Lord and that all these songs were sung true!!!

[@rrrowl59]

The Statler Brothers could perform and sing like no other. Then when they sang gospel just wow. Amazing

[@RealGuysReviews]

First time I heard this was the last song of their farewell concert and it quickly became my favorite gospel song.

[@debrawardlaw4558]

The Other Side of the Cross, the message of the Sacrifical Lamb, what he gave. This is performed so beautifully. Harold and Phil with their arms around one another at the end in brotherhood. The beautiful notes by Jimmy Fortune at the end were powerful.

[@jimmymiller77]

Why don't they make music like this nowadays ?? All we have no is JUNK !! God Bless, >

Thats what your parents said about your music. put on your big boy pants

I totally agree and have had the same feelings.

That's Exactly Right. You Don't Hear The Old Time Music " Country Music " Now Very Often .

[@elainesimons9079]

Truly only Love held Jesus on that cross. His love for us. Not love that we perceive to be love....but only love that the Heavenly Father gave. Thank you, Lord.

I love this group .jimmy fortune a great tenor.listenen to them when they did only country,so glad they turned to gospel!

[@jeanrussell960]

As we head into this Easter season that Christ gave up his life for us we need to pay homage to him ,he died for us and we have got to give him all we can,we can never pay him back,listen to this song and see if don't shed some tears (THANK YOU PRECIOUS LORD)

[@elainesimons9079]

Yes!! Our words seem so inadequate to thank Him enough.

[@SignatureStampsFan]

That last chord makes the hair on your arms raise. They lock it and it's just awesome. I regret never being able to see them live.

[@elsiedillon3629]

I felt a cold shiver go right though me. It was a Moment will not be forgotten

[@williamsonmunier]

They were magnificent!

[@ajs11201]

Ah, yes, a V7 to I progression with a 4-3 suspension coming out of the 7th of the V chord. It's a classic way to add some energy to the cadence. Jimmy executed it flawlessly.

[@jeffclark7888]

@@ajs11201 whatever that means, Jimmy was perfect! Shazam.

[@ajs11201]

@@jeffclark7888 Agreed--it was perfect. I was just explaining the music theory of what Jimmy executed, and why that technique is energizing. Bottom line--it's a very effective technique and Jimmy is a natural wonder.

[@sharonlawson2834]

This is the prettiest song I've ever heard. It's so sad they had to retire. It's so sad that Harold passed. There will never be anyone that can sing bass like Harold. RIP Harold and God bless the other three .

So sorry for your loss,

[@BanSheeesh999]

There were tears in the eyes of Jesus there were nails in the palms of his hands There were thorns in his brow and only God could know how Much pain he could withstand There was blood all around the hillside as a mother mourned her loss And we all stood to gain from the heavenly pain on the other side of the cross On the other side of the cross the side that no one could see On the spirit of things yet to come on the future of you and me And what he gave that day on the cross not one bit of love has been lost Hold my hand stand up and say if you were there on that day On the other side of the cross...

Amen, Frances Buck!!! ..... I Also Had The Privilege Of Seeing The "Statler Brothers", Just A Few Years Before "Lew DeWitt" Stepped Down And Retired From The Group, Due To Health Reasons.

this song features the baritones high range. more than most i've heard him on. why is he on baritone? even at his age when this was shot (i'm assuming 60's?) he could sing tenor or lead for most groups. he was the original and only baritone i believe the whole time the group was around. they started as a trio then added harold when his voice changed. then added jimmy when there former tenor got sick and couldn't perform (and eventually died). do i have all that right?

[@peggykeller7118]

They added Don once his voice changed. Harold was part of the original ones.

[@cmurdock5256]

From Lew to Jimmy, they sounded like the same quartet and, at the same time, sounded different. They were still the Statlers, but better. They did reach a new level with Jimmy but Lew's voice had a uniqueness Jimmy's didn't. Jimmy's had a strength Lew's didn't. Either way I loved them and their music from the day I discovered them in the 60''s. They were wise in their choice of a successor for Lew. I also think the Statlers were some of the MOST clever lyric writers that ever wrote for ANY genre of music.

[@ojadkins]

I like the way that you spoke your mind without being harsh to either of these fine singers, Lew and Jimmy. They are the same but different.

[@cmurdock5256]

@@ojadkins Thank you. I really love all 5 of them. If I was ever inclined to be a groupie for anyone, it would have been them. Missed Lew when he got sick and had to leave the group but I will always have the memory of him kicking me in the head at one show. Only 3 left. Harold died early this year. Lucky fellows. They had a terrific career and a terrific retirement. That doesn't happen for everyone. Lots of talent and good planning on their part.
