I can't believe a hundred seventy people would say they didn't like this this is some of the greatest country music there ever was I know Jimmy Fortune came in after the original gentleman passed away but you got to give him credit he's got a voice like no other in The Statler Brothers I'll tell you what can bring a tear to your eye when they sing because they bring their heart and soul to their music God bless Statler Brothers and may God bless him with long lives
My youngest sister passed away in July of last year. Her name is Mary Elizabeth. I heard the Statler Brothers song "oh Elizabeth" My heart sank. It was so hard to listen to. Now a year later I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever Heard. Thank you Statler Brothers.
My dad was on the road a lot when I was little. When he would get home I'd tell him to play my song( its my name) and he would play it and let me stand on his feet and dance with me. I love u daddy
I love them all but Reid was my favorite. I just learned today that it's a man singing tenor in the song "Amanda" by Don Williams. I thought he had a nice voice too.
The Greatest Country group of all time, their wonderful voices and exquisite harmonies send shivers all over me and the goose bumps start just thinking of their beautiful songs. I live in England and never had the opportunity to see them on stage. Have all of the UK released albums and listen tom them constantly. Miss them very much, Thank you all for the wonderful times you have given my late wife and myself.
Rest In Peace, Harold Reid. You're now singing bass in Heaven's Choir. May the blessings & comfort of God attend the Reid family during their time of sadnesss.
John Collins I’m gonna cry. I didn’t know till I read this. Love that ole boy. I always go to see them around my birthday in February every year. Miss you Harold. Heavens a brighter place now.
He wrote that song after meeting a 12 year old little girl named Elizabeth in a wheelchair at a concert one time who had no other dream but to meet Jimmy Fortune and The Statler Brothers! ❤❤❤
My daughter’s middle name is Elizabeth because of this song. I was 5 months pregnant. Oh Elizabeth I long to see your pretty face. . .That-was 36 yrs ago! I was on a long road trip & this was the #1 song - played over& over & over & ....!
2/13/1984 I got news my Grandmother that helped raise me passed away. Her name was Elizabeth “Lizzie”. Months later I had my car radio on and about to drive out of the parking lot when this song came on. I had to stay in the parking area for several minutes until the tears stopped.
Thank you guy's so much!! Some time when I feel so bad feeling sorry for myself & my many friends that's not with us anymore, I play this song & feel better, please be good to your friends because one day they will be gone!! May God Bless All !!!!!!
The line "..don't know if I can ever live my life without you" gets me every time. I think of my son, gone 28 years. I live on without him, but I miss him every day of my life.
Jimmy Fortune, i love in this song. He has what I call a "shit eating grin" when singing this song. I have to listen to this song every night just to see his smile.
You are correct also General Kael, NOBODY comes cloe to Harold's vovice either. Him, and his singing were 1 in 100,000,000 ! ! Right On ! ! Yes Sir ! All theStatler's knew how to put a song together, and sing it as if they meant EVERY WORD ! ! Thanks for your post General, and Many Many Thanks to the Statler's. I really would be Lost IF I never heard them sing, nor seen them on T.V. They were the ONLY group i knew who could do GREAT COUNTRY, and GOSPEL.

Jimmy Fortune was highly recommended by Lew DeWitt. When they hired Jimmy, Jimmy told them he would be with them until they retired. He was thrilled to be a part of the Statler Bros.
I FIRST HARD THE BOTHER ON RECORD NAME WAS THE KENTUCKY DURBY THEY WERE WITH JOHN CASE THE NAME OF THE SONG WAS CALLED HAMMERS AND NAILS.THEY WERE THE BEST OTHER SONG ON OTHER RECORD ON MERCY RECORD CALLED MONDAY SECRETARY I WILL CARING YOUR SWEET MEMORIES TO MY GRAVE. I LOVE IT WHEN THEY DO GOSPEL MUSIC 🎶 RIP.
Harold Reid, who sang bass for the Grammy-winning country group the Statler Brothers, died on Friday, April 24th, 2002 after a long battle with kidney failure. He was 80 years old... Between 1965 and 1990 the Staunton, Virginia group had sixty six records on the Billboard Country charts, thirty three made the Top 10 with four reaching #1, "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine" for two weeks in May 1978, "Elizabeth" for one week in March for 1984, "My Only Love" for one week in March of 1984, and "Too Much On My Heart" for one week in November of 1985... Founding member Lewis Calvin DeWitt passed away at the young age of 52 on August 15th, 1990 {Crohn's disease}... May both Mr. Reid and Mr. DeWitt R.I.P. * They just missing having three more #1 records when their "Flowers On The Wall" for four weeks in 1966, "Do You Remember These" for four weeks in 1972, and "Oh Baby Mine (I Get So Lonely)" for one week in 1983, all peaked at #2...
The Statler Brothers are from my home town. We're so proud of all of their accomplishments. They're all so very friendly with all of us. For 25 yrs. they performed at our July 4th celebration. Big attendence from around the world.
Still don't really care for country music too much but I have a sweet spot in my heart for The Statler Brothers after Lester roadhog Moran And His Cadillac Cowboys live at the Johnny Mack Brown High School
my friend tom hubb,s passed away he was a country music fan and a wonderful steel guitar player he use to play with billy grammer also steel guitar show, s at st louis mo he lost his love of his life sue he also loved harness races at anna illinois county fair with his brother harald and me his friend ivan painter. me and harald are going to meet their in his memory.
Kenneth Smart,Sr. I know it's like to lose the love of your life I had someone so dear to me to talk about it it's sad but it helps she was taken from me by drunk driver in a head-on collision she died shortly at the hospital why he suffered minor injuries but he's never going to drive over again because he's in a place where he belongs and I know God took my angel home like he took your angel home and someday we will see them again so God bless you and your family
My Mother was the Statler Brothers "biggest" fan. Even though Harold once told her "We have fans lots bigger than you!" Now my 3 year old granddaughter, Elizabeth, thinks this song is just for her. She will also be a Statler fan.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE VOICE JIMMY FORTUNE HAS,....I WISH THAT THE STATLER BROTHERS WERE STILL PERFORMING,....I NEVER GOT TO SEE THEM PERFORM, BUT, I SURE ENJOY THEIR MUSIC, AND, THEIR BEAUTIFUL HARMONIZING.
I had tickets 3 different times for their show and only got to see them about 5 years before they stopped touring. It was, and still is, one of the BEST concerts I have ever been to.
Yeah, know what you mean. They did replace the 1 Statler, with Jimmy Fortune, but I don't know IF Harold Reid could be replaced. I'm just glad happy there is RUclips, so we ALL get a chance to hear that TRUE, and unduplicted sound that is Country at it's Finest. I want to listen to more now, so I'm moving on, but Ruth Feder, IF you couls listen to only 1 singer, or 1 band, the Statlers would DEFINITLY BE THE ONE !
Our Dad passed in September 2015. He was my longest life-friend. I've been missing him (and our Mom/2008) very much through this intense time of transition after being his primary care giver since 2008. On January 17, 2016 while traveling along on my way home from a friend's funeral, I was deeply missing Dad's company and conversation on our many drives together. That's when I decided to treat myself to a 'comfort' excursion and pulled off my travel to a little country store browsing and dinner. I'd never heard this song before until it played over the speakers while browsing that little store. Of course, I started crying - in gratitude. My name is Elizabeth... and I know with all my being, this was from Dad and Mom (she loved and used to play traditional country songs). Somehow, these moments just work like that and, personally, I believe in something greater than ourselves that creates these special moments for us. Dad used to email electronic greeting cards all the time with added notes of love and gratitude. I got the distinct feeling, he found a different way to get the message across. Good one, Dad, as usual. Love you both, always.
We need more music like this. It makes you feel good, like singing along. I’m sure that the lack of music that required talent and that make you tap you feet, along with a belief in God, love of country and a solid 2 parent family is the cause of our decline.
Gotta say this was my parents. My dad couldn't be without her she was his world. She past in 2019 he past in 2022. Short time after her he was lost without her .
Oh I remember when this song came out, I had to go to the hospital for surgery, so I brought along my Sony tape player and played the heck out of this song!!
Fun Fact: the song was written about Elizabeth Taylor by Jimmy Fortune and when Elizabeth Taylor learned the song was written about her, she was so moved by it that she actually had the guys perform the song for her at her 52nd birthday in 1984.
Only 2 other groups that could give The Statler Brothers a run for their money But mark my words The Statler Brothers would win every time. Them other 2 groups are The Oak Ridge Boys & Alabama. The reason I say The Statler Brothers would win every time is for numerous reasons BUT their patriotism matching suits , mics, U.S. map for their logo with their faces on it all of Red White & Blue, some patriotic songs they’ve done, their love of gospel music , their harmony, they were with Johnny Cash back in the 1960s and the list continues , Harold’s comedy act that he does). Not to mention that The Statler Brothers are my #1 favorite group with the others mentioned following behind. I love these guys to bad they’re not together anymore. Miss them but still have their music on these videos
I attended a concert they did in Waco, Texas. When they sang More Than A Name On a Wall I cried for all of my brothers and sisters who's names carved on the wall. US Navy 1966-70.
When Country Music was really Country Music.
I can't believe a hundred seventy people would say they didn't like this this is some of the greatest country music there ever was I know Jimmy Fortune came in after the original gentleman passed away but you got to give him credit he's got a voice like no other in The Statler Brothers I'll tell you what can bring a tear to your eye when they sing because they bring their heart and soul to their music God bless Statler Brothers and may God bless him with long lives
Amen
Jimmy gave The Statlers new energy. He was a great addition after Lew retired due to health issues.
I agree with everything you said.
I can't believe it either, Jimmy is talented and I know Lew and Harold are so proud of him in heaven. Don n Phil too.
I think it's an awesome song I Love It😅
My youngest sister passed away in July of last year. Her name is Mary Elizabeth. I heard the Statler Brothers song "oh Elizabeth" My heart sank. It was so hard to listen to. Now a year later I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever Heard. Thank you Statler Brothers.
The Statlers and the Oak Ridge Boys..... the greatest voices in the history of Country and Gospel Music...... EVER!!!!
song written for my wife elizabeh passed away in 2015 thanks statler brors
R.I.P. Harold Reid best bass singer ever. The Statlers will always be my all time favorite group
However Jimmy Fortune is the lead singer in this song, and he goes/or used to go solo, stilll sing "Elizabeth".
@robbie--I don't know, I think Paul Robeson or Tennessee Ernie Ford might have something to say about that.
All are greats! But Harold was the funniest of them. The angels have a new bass singer, if they can keep from laughing! Godspeed, Harold and Lew.
My dad was on the road a lot when I was little. When he would get home I'd tell him to play my song( its my name) and he would play it and let me stand on his feet and dance with me. I love u daddy
The statler. Singers were the best. Love this song
The good old Statler Brothers, very healing ,,we need more groups like the Statlers To day
They appealed to everybody. And Jimmy Fortune was a natural fit when Lew DeWitt had to retire because of ill health.
Yes we do.
This makes me miss my mom and dad. This is what country music is about. Their harmony is amazing!!
My mother would play the statler's over and over again in the seventies as a kid
I agree, it makes me miss my Dad, he had a deep voice like Harold's. I got to see The Statler brothers in concert when I was a kid.
I love this song I could listen to it all day
Me too
I listen to it often
This is a beautiful song! I wonder if there was an Elizabeth, the inspiration for this song?
Just once in a lifetime can we enjoy such talent. Thanks guys.
Amen..so glad I got to grow up with them
These old songs were so nice and sweet. I'll never forget how terrific they really were!
I've always felt that Jimmy Fortune is the best tenor in country music. Perfect vocals here.
I love them all but Reid was my favorite. I just learned today that it's a man singing tenor in the song "Amanda" by Don Williams. I thought he had a nice voice too.
Such a pure voice.
Agreed. 🙂
*see above. I agree with you, Jeff Johnson 110%.
@@friendlyviewer7171 THE STARTLER BROTHERS
Jimmy Fortune has a terrific voice to fit into this group
Their music is sunshine on the most dismal days. Rest in peace Harold Reid!
The Greatest Country group of all time, their wonderful voices and exquisite harmonies send shivers all over me and the goose bumps start just thinking of their beautiful songs. I live in England and never had the opportunity to see them on stage. Have all of the UK released albums and listen tom them constantly. Miss them very much, Thank you all for the wonderful times you have given my late wife and myself.
We will miss Harold terribly and that wonderful bass voice and witty sense of humor
Rest In Peace, Harold Reid. You're now singing bass in Heaven's Choir. May the blessings & comfort of God attend the Reid family during their time of sadnesss.
I wonder if Lew greeted him at the pearly gates.
@@joshuabrooks4907 I'll bet he did, then they started harmonizing.
The Host Of Angels Choir Really Gained A Strong Bass! He was always my favorite person in the band.
John Collins I’m gonna cry. I didn’t know till I read this. Love that ole boy. I always go to see them around my birthday in February every year. Miss you Harold. Heavens a brighter place now.
I got to see y'all in Fairhaven Ms
to be in a church Harold was crazy .I love y'all all
I miss you so much, my little sister, Liz.😢
I lost my little sister, Liz, 13 years ago. I miss her everyday. 😢
That Jimmy sure could sing! Great song. Very very nice.
He wrote that song after meeting a 12 year old little girl named Elizabeth in a wheelchair at a concert one time who had no other dream but to meet Jimmy Fortune and The Statler Brothers! ❤❤❤
best group
in country music
My sweet wife Elizabeth died last Friday from a sudden ruptured aorta this will be played at her funeral rest in peace precious angel
Sorry to hear that
My condolences for your dear Elizabeth
Lord have mercy on David and on Elizabeth. ❤
My daughter’s middle name is Elizabeth because of this song. I was 5 months pregnant.
Oh Elizabeth I long to see your pretty face. . .That-was 36 yrs ago! I was on a long road trip & this was the #1 song - played over& over & over & ....!
RIP Harold Reid.This group was unequaled in sound and talent.
2/13/1984 I got news my Grandmother that helped raise me passed away. Her name was Elizabeth “Lizzie”. Months later I had my car radio on and about to drive out of the parking lot when this song came on. I had to stay in the parking area for several minutes until the tears stopped.
These were the days when music was still good, musicians still had talent and men were still gentlemen.
This is why I call Country Music Never will be the same live the Statler Brothers
Amen!
You're so right
SOOOOO right Leslie Olson
Zero autotune!!
Thank you guy's so much!! Some time when I feel so bad feeling sorry for myself & my many friends that's not with us anymore, I play this song & feel better, please be good to your friends because one day they will be gone!! May God Bless All !!!!!!
Listening to them sing one song is like eating one Lays Potato chip!!! You can't listen to just one!!!!!
This is what I call GOOD MUSIC !! Mark E. Switzer
RIP, Harold, thanks for the songs ♡♡♡
One of the best songs they recorded and videoed.
I visited Dollywood in 2008 and the lead singer here was there and sang this song and I sang it to my wife. A awesome song.
The line "..don't know if I can ever live my life without you" gets me every time. I think of my son, gone 28 years. I live on without him, but I miss him every day of my life.
God Gayle!, I'm so sorry! I can't imagine
Thanks....it's been hard. He was 18 when he died.
@@gaylestratton8876 my oh my! Again, can't imagine! I'd hug and cry with you if you were in front of me.
So very sorry for your loss- been 10 years for my father. Can't believe it.

The melody and harmony the Statler's do with this song is
just beautiful.
There will never be a group that sings quite like the Statler Brothers, Miss their music on country radio

SUCH TALENT!
Jimmy added so much to this group OF GREAT TALENT BLESS THEM ALL!!
First time I've ever heard my full name Elizabeth in a song. Beautiful.
I saw the Statler Brothers in Denver shortly after this song came out. It always brings a tear. I think it’s one of their all time best songs!
Still don't really care for country music too much but I have a sweet spot in my heart for The Statler Brothers after Lester roadhog Moran And His Cadillac Cowboys live at the Johnny Mack Brown High School
My uncle Larry likes this song.
The Statlers Brothers are the best country group. All of them have amazing voices.
I saw the Statler's in concert four times and I have to say they were the best. I love everything they sang and Elizabeth is one of my favorites.
100% Beautiful!!!

Just "down the road" in our Shenandoah Valley in Staunton was arguably the best 4 part harmony ever......The Statler's. Sure miss them!
One of the best groups ever!
Thanky kindly👍👍
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE VOICE JIMMY FORTUNE HAS,....I WISH THAT THE STATLER BROTHERS WERE STILL PERFORMING,....I NEVER GOT TO SEE THEM PERFORM, BUT, I SURE ENJOY THEIR MUSIC, AND, THEIR BEAUTIFUL HARMONIZING.
I last saw them at Alpine Valley about 1980
I saw him solo out at va years
He was great. I love him I agree I'd love to see them tour again
We won't ever be able to see the signature lineup of the Statler brothers anymore, due to Harold's recent passing.
I had tickets 3 different times for their show and only got to see them about 5 years before they stopped touring. It was, and still is, one of the BEST concerts I have ever been to.
Yeah, know what you mean. They did replace the 1 Statler, with Jimmy Fortune, but I don't know IF Harold Reid could be replaced.

Democrats ruined this country
JusT AbsoluTly Incredable'

That Elizabeth might be a top twenty song all time?
This song reminds me of my mother.Her name was Elizabeth.
Our Dad passed in September 2015. He was my longest life-friend. I've been missing him (and our Mom/2008) very much through this intense time of transition after being his primary care giver since 2008.

From one Elizabeth to another, much love and deepest heartfelt condolences (sp?).

From one Elizabeth to another.
Deepest heartfelt sympathies and prayers.

Touching! God bless you!
I guess I need some new seals my eyes are leaking, Wishing you the best the world has to offer, And may love And kindness surround you
You're lucky you knew your dad. A lot of people don't. You are not special. Enjoy what you got.
I’ve caused many heartbreaks. And I’m sorry.
I listen to The Statler Brothers everyday I remember listen to them in my big rig. Elizabeth was one of my favorite songs.. but one of many
One of the Statlers BEST songs ! Wish todays music sounded this good ! Mark Switzer
Rest In Peace, Mr. Harold. God bless all of them. They were THE BEST! 😘🙏🏼💜Prayers for Harold’s family as well as the remaining brothers. 😢🙏🏼💜🌼🌷
Praying for cousin Elizabeth best wishes and health
We need more music like this. It makes you feel good, like singing along. I’m sure that the lack of music that required talent and that make you tap you feet, along with a belief in God, love of country and a solid 2 parent family is the cause of our decline.
Supply and demand. Trumptards don't appreciate music like we - the old republicans - did.
My name is Elizabeth so this is the BEST SONG EVER.
Thanks for writing it Jimmy!!
These guys are the best.
Lucky enough to have seen them 30 years ago. Harold was the best, the silliest and just the nicest person. RIP big guy.
I named my youngest after this song . Rip Harold Reid prayers for the family. God bless
Jimmy and that perfect tone.......
Love this song. Thanks to my brother in law Dan
Gotta say this was my parents. My dad couldn't be without her she was his world. She past in 2019 he past in 2022. Short time after her he was lost without her .
My Mom loves the Statler Brothers. 💞
Oh I remember when this song came out, I had to go to the hospital for surgery, so I brought along my Sony tape player and played the heck out of this song!!
