  • In 1990 Hank Snow asked the brothers to perform at his tribute show so they reunited for this one night. It was the first time they had perfomed as a group in over five years and the last time they ever appeared on stage together.

    I've been a Glaser Bros. fan for 40 years, and the other day I sent an email to Jim (the tenor) and he was kind to respond the next day. He said he appreciated the kind remarks about him and his brothers, really meant alot. He said when he was younger, he was really strung up tight, but he said live and learn.. btw he sang the high part on the great record 'El Paso' with Marty Robbins. He was 21 at the time. Now in his early sevnties, he still has a great voice.

    I remember spinning the Glazer Brothers when I worked at a country music radio station in Longview Washington 40 some odd years ago. I had my whole life ahead of me. I'm almost 71 now. Tom Paul is gone now. So is Glenn Frey and too many others.
    As a musician and singer, I've come to realize that every song I sing could be my last. I think of all the time I wasted and the music I took for granted. Yeah, I got to be a rockstar for a while though you know my name.
    If I could say something important to a young musician it would be this: Take your eyes off stardom and be who God designed you to be. Let that be your music. Be who you truly are. God made you one of a kind and put the gift you have within you. Use it for Him. You never know when you will sing your last song.

      You are so right about the Hall of Fame. I only realized about a year ago that they were not already members. I found that to be stunning, given all they meant to real country music. If you haven't already, please read Tompall's biography that came out last year. It's called "The Great Tompall; Forgotten Country Music Outlaw" written by his nephew, Kevin Glaser. It is an incredible book that finally sheds some light on the amazing career of Tompall and what he did for the careers of so many. He was truly an AMAZING talent and he is missed.

    Tompall Glaser pased away 2013. But Jim and Chuck of The Glaser Brothers are one of the last artist who played with Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings etc. When you hear Jim Glaser with Marty Stuart last recording on you tube , old time classic Let Me Down Easy writen by Jim and Tompall. That's real country music it's the best there is. I love these guys

    This song is a long time favorite of mine. When I looked for it singing karaoke, I could only find it listed as done by Waylon Jennings. But when they played it, I knew in an instant it was the version done by the Glaser brothers. What a thrill to blend my voice in with the harmonizing 'brothers'. R.I.P. Tompall

      Whenever I sing karaoke, I always sing this song - the background harmony makes me or any K singers sound good

    @camerabugs, Chuck did have a stroke back in the 70's and his left side was paralyzed which also affected his voice. He worked very hard to get back to where he could sing at all. He never let it stop him from living though, He always said that he'd sing on the Opry stage again and he did. I even went golfing with him when I was a teenager and he did great one handed.

    Gene Watson is one of the Great Singers. AND he also needs to be In The Grand Ole Opry Hall Of Fame.
