    This song speaks to love in the most relatable way. It could be the first time you felt the feeling or the last time you reminisced on a love that has endured. It ranks pretty high on my all time list.

    Mom’s favorite group. The one “with the deep voice” and the lead singer are actually brothers (but their last name is Reid). The other two were classmates in school. I’m so happy you enjoyed this. Their music brings back very happy memories for me. ❤️❤️

    My Mother’s favorite group!! She loved Harold the deep voiced singer. The class of 57 was her favorite song, it was the year she graduated but she loved Flowers on the Wall too. The group’s name came from a box of tissues in a hotel room. They didn’t have a name and the place that they were going to play that night called and wanted a name to put on the marquee. They saw the name on the box of tissues, gave him that and the Statler Brothers were born!

      "We got paid by cash" tribute to Johnny Cash
      "You can't have your Kate and Edith too"
      "Counting flowers on the wall"
      Lew DeWitt had to leave the group in 1982 & was replaced by Jimmy Fortune. Lew DeWitt died in 1990. They have soBBL many great songs.

    the lead singer on the far right and the bass singer on the far left are brothers. Don Reid and Harold Reid, Phil Baisley and Lew DeWitt. were the original 4. after many years Lew left the group and Jimmy Fortune took his place as the tenor singer. look up their song he wrote called "Elizabeth". if i am not mistaken it was their biggest song. but they have many many songs over the years !!! the name Statler Brothers was taken from a brand of tissues called Statler Tissues.

    The lead singer, Don Reid, and the Bass singer, Harold Reid are brothers. They said when trying to pick a name for their group, a box of tissues names Statler brand was sitting there and decided to use the name. A great song by them is Name on a Wall about names on the Vietnam war memorial wall.

    Harold Reid (bass) Don Reid (lead) were the brothers. Lew DeWitt had the most distinctive voice on those high harmonies and rare to see him without playing a guitar in a performance. Phil (sorry can't remember his last name) rounded out this fantastic quartet. Great song. Oh, and theybchose the name Statler from a box of Statler tissues in the record companies office.

One of them saw a box of tissue on the nightstand called Statler Tissue. He told the man on the phone they are the Statler Brothers.

    The Statler Brothers were formed in Staunton , Virginia . From 1964 until 1972 they opened up for Johnny Cash and also were back up singers for him . Johnny was a mentor to them and gave them their big break . They wrote and sang a tribute song to Johnny Cash for being their mentor called “We got paid by Cash “ . I grew up in Virginia and saw the Statler Brothers live quite a few times with my parents . The Statler Brothers always put on a great live show .

    Harri, if you weren't a fan of country music before the 90's then there's no reason you would have heard of them. I grew up on groups like them, The Oak Ridge Boys and later Alabama and The Statler Bros & Oak Ridge Boys have a plethora of gospel and country music hits. Of The Staler Bros., some of their hits I'd recommend would be "Flowers On The Wall", "Do You Remember These?", "The Class of '57", "Bed of Roses" & "The Official Historian of Shirley Jean Berrell" just for a start.
