Yes sir. I met them in 1977 at 8 years old at BUCK LAKE RANCH in ANGOLA, INDIANA with my mother. What a privilege.

Thank you for your service sir

Thank you for your service, Mr. Seder.

Kk

David Seder ... You are so right about these guys. I don't think I've ever heard anything by them that I didn't like. I love "More Than a Name on the Wall" also. And "Silver Medals". I like you have friends and family on it. I was there in '69. So, WELCOME HOME BROTHER. God bless those on that Wall, and those of us that made it back.

Thank you for this story 🎉

True but the way you described it I can almost see it. Thanks for your story, for a few of us love like that just don't seem to come along.

@@jeffharper7579 I should add that his now father-in-law got even with him. He was a huge Steppenwolf fan. About 2 or 3 AM his wife's folks got in his car using what I learned was an 8-track tape while parked in this guy's driveway and blasted "Born to Be Wild". This man is still alive today, in his 90s, and has a lot of grandkids and their kids. Yes, he still listens to Steppenwolf.

😆 please tell him I like that, remember never get even get ahead and stay ahead.👍😆😆

And for the Statlers, too (#1 in 1985).

Awesome song!!!!

Me too!

Best group ever! Saw them on farewell tour! Love these guys!

They were a great group. Miss them all together. Jimmy Fortune is with The Gaither Gospel Hours. But keep missing it. He is a great singer. Love his voice, you can hear him above the others.

Very emotional song. Eloquently written and washes the tears out of the soul. Thanks for some great memories Statlers. RIP to HR…

​@@ronaldjohnson902My Only Love, Elizabeth, and I've Got Too Much on My Heart are so sad emotional songs! Bittersweet!

@@vernareed2692 So true, but we listen anyway….

Amen to your Statement. I want to cry.

I'm GenX and I grew up listening to these guys.

Hey how are you doing today?

Hello Cindy, how are you doing?

gives us something to look forward to. After seeing Jesus face to face.

My all time favorite group Harold was a gem

Hey how are you doing today?

Hello Ella, how are you doing?

walter hill ok boomer

ScaledKeys Why be a douche?

They put alot of time a love in ther songs and videos and it shows.

I travelled to Staunton, VA fairly often. Several locals told me that Don and Harold would walk at the local mall several days a week. People would wave at them but let them just be local people, like any other neighbor. I thought that was a prefect description of them

Harold and Dons sons sound just like them. They are amazing. Wilson Fairchild.

One of thier best singles .💞❤

Statler Brothers are my favorite of all times,I love them all, but Harold Reid was still my favorite, Music today can't come close to music back then, Gaithers are best, Harold has just moved 🏠

Love them so much,still watch them on tv all the time , Music today is terrible, Harold was my favorite,but he is happier than we are,he is with the Lord.

Statler Bros greatest of all time,Thank God for Gaithers Julie

For sure

Harold Reid, George Jones, Merle Haggard,Marty Robbins ... Throw George Younce, Glenn Payne in there ... It just don't get any better than that.

I kinda wish we had a passing of the torch - Jimmy and Lew together on a Statler song.

@@juliefulton9934, the Gaithers are terrible.

Debbie Floyd I can relate to your post I just lost my husband to a MI in his sleep last week. 29 yrs ago we danced to this song at our wedding

i'm so sorry. never lost a spouse but lost almost all my family to cancer

Debbie and Amy, I'm so sorry for your losses. {{{HUGS}}}

I'm so sorry for your loss my prayers for of you

My mom had a bouble anarhisn in her brain20 years

God has blessed you with a true Love

When my girlfriend and I get married and I don't know for sure when that will be but when we do I'd love to sing the song My only love to her while playing the guitar hopefully with three other people performing it with me.But I'd be happy if they play the Statler Brothers version. The Statler Brothers are much better.I'm sorry to hear that the Bass singer had passed away. Has any of the others passed away too or are there still three surviving members.I used to sing Bassin school choirs once my voice changed at 13 years old in 1970 or maybe it was at 11 or 12 years old in 1968 or 1969. Anyway I also sang Bass in Church choir with my mom and sisters who were also in the church choir when I was 14 back in 1971 when I was a Catholic. I'm a Christian now because of some weird Catholic freaks ( Two women and 1 man ) who treated me badly when I had been homeless. I'd already switched to the Christian faith but they treated me like I was a sinner for switching to the Christian faith. I no longer go to any church because I lost my faith because of them and since I had been homeless I'm now living with my sister so I don't have a Christian Church to go to.When I was in church choir I sang Bass but the choir director started another choir that did secular music ( Non Religious old standards and popular music too ) I sang Tenor in the Americana International Choir and wore International Costumes and just American clothes too. I was in Rock Bands and Country Bands too as a rhythm guitar player backup vocalist the highest vocal out of 3 or 4 vocalists at different times with the same friend who since passed away recently.In that band I later switched to playing the Bass. I also play a little bit of Mandolin and if I work at it I could learn to play keyboard too. I could play a basic beat on drums and I could play rhythm and lead guitar together but not real good lead because I have to play rhythm guitar with it. I'm going to bed now so later folks !

Hello Tammy, how are you doing?

Same im 24

@@zachbostian2506 I'm 80 yo. The video part makes me sad (cry) because I had a relationship like that in the 1970s. I haven't had a love since 1981. EVERY day is sad!

You must have an old soul🥰 So proud of you!!!😘

Jimmy had an amazing gift back in the early mid 80s. I doubt he had any idea when he was writing these great songs that 40 yrs later his music would be touching lives

They sang together for twenty more years.

Hey how are you doing today….?

It's reverberating with his bass.

What?????? Did Harold pass away?????

@@ericastout4552 Yeah, Erica. You must've missed it, somehow.

In April of 2020.

Hello Sharon, how are you doing?

Hello Miriam, how are you doing?

Hope you're having a nice time over there?

My name is Annette too, wish I had a husband for that long, that could say that to me lol😂😂😂

Hey how are you doing today….?

Congradultions! I wish you have many more. I lost my husband of 48 years. It's still so hard!

God love you.

re Elvis Presley songs dr r?!

Elvis Presley songs

My mom lost my dad in 79 and didn't want anyone else till she joined him in 2000 he was her only love

This song reminds me of the past good days.. how is life treating?

Me too. I looked everywhere for the lyrics and I ended up listening to it over and over hand writing the lyrics for the singers to learn the song. 27 yrs and going strong ❤️

25 yrs ago this was our song at our wedding too

Hello Ruth, how are you doing?

Hey how are you doing today?

Hello Susan, how are you doing?

Hello beautiful lady

Hello Mary, how are you doing today?

Fred Walker .I Agree and I’m 69 !. But his name isn’t Howard ,..it’s Harold !. I loved his low voice !...

❤

Fred, I couldn’t have said it better myself. 100%. Thanks…Mac

Sounds like this is from experience.

I can understand where you are coming from. My husband is very ill with an incurable disease and I don't know how much longer he will be with me, but I thank God for each and everyday that we are together. We were married 42 years last month and my life has been wonderful with him. This song explains our love perfectly.

Shirley D OH! yes Shirley. I HOPE MANY PEOP[LE WIll read & heed your message. Read on... On Sunday night I spoke with my only child, my very loved and loving son. The last words we spoke were " good night baby, I love you" and he replied to me "I love you too, Mama". He was killed the next day in a motorcycle accident . That was 10 years ago. My heart is still broken, I think of him every single day, BUT I am so at peace with the our last words. He was indeed my only love.

L. Mary Lawson I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a son and I can't imagine my life without him. I'm so truly sorry.

Shirley D Just wanted to say that I lost my beloved husband, Kenneth and buried him this week and I am so heartbroken. We were married 42 years. I am so thankful that I told him daily that I loved him...

Hey how are you doing today?

I started singing Statler songs when I was eight. I still sing them every week at karaoke. I'm 64 now. They make me feel so good inside. RIP Harold. You will be missed.

Hey how are you doing today….?

Angela Barrineau ..So very sorry for your loss ,....

Well, three of them are.

Richard Tannehill true. Lost my dad my husband and my mom in less than three years and that was hard but not as hard as losing my son two years ago this Saturday.

Lost my only love at 42 seven years ago. I’ll never be with anyone else. She was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. She died three weeks later.
