This is the best song and video ever! THE STATLER BROTHERS Do you remember these REACTION

[@TheLouise24]

I still have my first car - a 1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2. But I grew up in the 40s and 50s! Wonderful memories!

[@larrydewein]

I love those 'rememberance' songs! I'm 84 so they bring back a lot of happy memories and surprises when I see something I have entirely forgotten about! Thanks for sharing Harri!

[@edwardviner9468]

The Statler Brothers were considered the greatest country group of all time and won more awards than any other group. I loved them from the time they started opening for Johnny Cash and even more when they went out on their own. I’m 80 and I remember all those things and some they had to skip . Their music will live forever!!❤❤❤

First McDonalds in US opened in 1940 in California. I love to hear Jimmy Fortune, which is the tenor of the Statler Brothers sing I Believe :)

[@Darb1972]

Lew Dewitt was the tenor on this recording. Jimmy Fortune joined in 1983. Both excellent singers.

[@MAMsMom97]

The Statlers were my first "boy band" back in elementary school in the '70s. I finally got to see them at their special annual July 4th "Happy Birthday USA" concert in their hometown back in '91 when I was in college. I had never before or since been at a bigger concert with so many people! I just met Harold & Don's grandsons last weekend when I saw them in concert. I'll be seeing their dads in November. So I'll be able to say that I've seen 3 generations of Reids.

[@sandracarey4352]

This was a great group, known for their gospel and harmony. A!l of these references are perfect!

[@ojstinson]

"ELIZABETH" their most beautiful song by far.

[@TracyfromNC]

When I was 16, I worked at one of the oldwe red and white tile McDonald's withe arches in the building, only 2 tables inside that seated 4 each. The basement was for storage, the managers office and a small room to watch training videos. Very crowded...I think they were talking about these specific old buildings.

[@starman2337]

The first time we stopped at a McDonald's with Mom & Dad we waited for a car hop until we noticed customers walking up to the outside window. Hamburgers were 15 cents, fries were a dime.

[@dianpitts5063]

I remember when McDonalds used to list on their sign how many millions sold!

[@JimmyCooper-o4g]

The Statler Brothers bought the old building that they attended High School in and when the sale was final, Harold Reid (the bass singer) picked up a rock and threw through what used to be the Principal’s window because that was something that he always wanted to do!

[@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER]

That's hilarious! 😂

[@heyyou9693]

I'm 49 and have been listening to them for as long as I remember. It's the only thing my dad and I have in common anymore. The album, Innerview, where this song is from, was the first Statler brothers album he bought. They grew up together in Virginia and that is why they harmonize so well. I read a book of Don and Harold, who, by the way are the brothers in this group, and they said about this song that they don't remember some of this song. Anyway, give their cover of 'Give My Love to Rose's a listen to. That was a Johnny Cash song. Johnny got them started. Anyway, my friend, Harold is the bass, and a lot of their songs follow this format of each of them having a part. They started singing gospel. But most of what they do is great. I'll be back.

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

I loved that. My aunt worked in Piggly Wiggly in Denison Tx. back then. When we went to hassle her, we knew whwn we came out, the railroad ( the Katy), would have the streets 4 awhile. It was the biggest employer in town, so nobody seemed to notice. Those were the days.

[@debbiechang5781]

Just fantastic! Thanks Harri and Catherine 🌺✌️

[@anneje71]

Harri love you and your reactions. I remember about 98% of what was mentioned in the song. Yes I'm THAT old. lol

[@TheDavBow3]

I love your reaction to The Statler Brothers. There are so many great songs. They have always been nostalgic, patriotic and God loving. You would be very hard pressed to find a more true 4 part harmony quartet. Especially with Lew at tenor. Even their speaking voices have different ranges.

[@lindamorrison9755]

I remember most of them. I'm 76. My first Mickey D's was in the 1950's burger 15 Cents sounds cheap now but you didn't make a lot of money. I remember bread was 16 cents a loaf. Oh the old days Howdy Doody and Bandstand, My hit parade, Mitch Miller, the farmers bring their wagons with corn and watermelons and cantaloupes and other farm produce to our neighborhoods. Sitting out on the steps or the porch on a hot summer night because all you had was one big window fan. I'd take those days back today. They were tough but neighbors knew each other and kids played outside till the street lights came on. I've lived through the 50's 60's and on up. I've seen changes some good ones but we have lost the best ones.

[@Sue-zf5uu]

@@lindamorrison9755 I have too. Attic fans that made you pull covers even in the summer nights. I'm 68 and I miss those days so much now!

[@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER]

If you haven't done their Class Of '57, it should be next. Awesome song about a graduating class with big hopes and dreams.

[@lgeyser1]

Like many here, I too grew up during that era, and remember all those things. It truly was a great time to be a kid. Thanks Catherine and Harri.

[@carolinasbeauty]

Another great Statler Brother's song. I wasn't sure when Mickey Dee's opened, but I remember my older brother taking me for my first (non-homemade) hamburger there around 1960. What a treat! I'm sure you aren't old enough for most of these "memories," but I grew up with them! Thanks for the suggestion and the reaction!

[@mburkitt7678]

Does anyone remember the ad for a hamburger, fries, and a drink (all small, of course) and you get change back from your dollar?

[@carolinasbeauty]

@@mburkitt7678 Yes! I most certainly do. Oh, but that was when a dollar could actually buy you something. Now, I'm not sure (since it's been awhile) that you can buy any one of those things for less than $1.00. And what really burns is when they hand you your order, they expect you to tip! Since COVID, I think every single food chain (or grocery store) has been gouging John Q Public. These days, two people can rarely afford to eat at a fast food place (it's, on average, around $20+) - and buying the ingredients and making them yourself doesn't save you money either! If anything, it costs MORE to make it yourself. I am very sorry to take out my frustration on you!! Please accept my apology?

One of my favorite songs by The Statler Brothers, since I was a kid in the 70s. I didn't actually recognize all of these things then or now...way before my time, most of them. But I always loved the nostalgic message and the harmonies. And the video actually helped me. Now I know what a few more of these things are.

I learned to dance The Stroll from my sisters (6 &,8 yrs my senior) while our stereo played a stack of 45's Those times for me, as you mentioned, were also few and far between. I'm so glad I did get first hand demonstrations😅! If you haven't watched them, two great movies come to mind for their true depictions of that time period: "Grease" & "Dirty Dancing." Both have great music scores and dances. The second one is much more serious, dealing with social and moral codes of the time. Thank you so much for the fun exchanges! Phyllis

But l missed hearing Lew sing with the Statler Bros. I saw them perform in concert in the middle 70's. Harold, the bass singer, was so funny. He's the comedian of the group. There are tons of songs to choose from & all are good. They wrote a lot of their songs.

Great song one of my favorites. Hari since this an American song about American things, I am sure you didn’t know 90% of the things mentioned for example “Dixie cups with movie stars on the lid”. Dixie cups were little cups of ice cream that you ate with a little wooden spoon. Still any one can enjoy this Sind just by hearing the Statlers. BTW, I am old enough to know all the references.
