    I've said it before and I'll say it some more. I think the Statler Brothers are the best male quartet that's ever been.

    May Harold Reid RIP. He is gone, but he will be forever loved, and missed by Millions of Fans World Wide. He passed away at home on 4/24/20, following a brave battle with Kidney failure, according to his Nephew, Langdon Reid, Son of Former Lead Singer, Don Reid.

    These men are the very definition of true Southern Gentleman. I've had the honor of meeting them several times and everytime I do I thank God for two things one that my dad bought that first album and two that the Statler Brothers are from Virginia. I've been a fan my whole life.

      Actually Phil Don & Harold are from Staunton and originally Jimmy Fortune was from outside of Stanton but in Virginia somewhere in Virginia and Lou DeWitt the original founding tenor was also from Staunton all four of these are homegrown Virginia boys I grew up in Hillsville Virginia down near the North Carolina line in the Southwest loved these guys since I was a child Southern 4-part Harmony is unmatchable they're amazing wish they were still singing

    I live in Nashville and many years ago I had the opportunity to go see The Statlers in concert in a little town southeast of Nashville and they were outstanding. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. I have been a fan of The Statlers since they released Flowers on the Wall and they just kept releasing hit after hit. I don't know of any group, country or otherwise, who has harmony as beautiful as the Statlers. I know that everyone has to retire eventually but I sure hated it when these guys retired. I am delighted to find so many videos of the Statler songs on RUclips. Thanks for posting this.

      Although Don sang lead and wrote many of their hits Lew was the unofficial leader and their musical director. Lew wrote their first hit in 1965 "Flowers on The Wall" while they were still part of Johnny Cash's entourage.

      @jerrscott6373 4 года назад

      Sadly, the Oak Ridge Boys don't have much left in the tank. Figure them to scale it back or retire in another couple of years. Other groups that I like include Home Free, Signature Sound, Booth Brothers, and Triumphant Quartet. Check those groups out if you haven't already done so. All good. I would highly recommend them to see in concert.
