Album: Greatest Hits
Utgitt: 1989
Låtskrivere: Jimmy Fortune / John Malanghthon V. Rimel
From their farewell concert October 2002 in Salem, Virginia
"More Than a Name on a Wall" is a song written by Jimmy Fortune and John Rimel, and recorded by American country music group The Statler Brothers. It was released in April 1989 as the third single from their Greatest Hits album. The song peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart
***
Jimmy Fortune (born March 11, 1955, in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American country music singer from Staunton, Virginia. Fortune sang tenor for The Statler Brothers for 21 years, and wrote the song "Elizabeth" for the group. After The Statler Brothers retired, he continues to perform as a solo artist.
***
The Statler Brothers (sometimes simply referred to The Statlers) were an American country music, gospel, and vocal group. The quartet was formed in 1955 performing locally and, in 1964, they began singing backup for Johnny Cash until 1972.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none has the surname of Statler. The band, in fact, named themselves after a brand of facial tissue they had noticed in a hotel room (they joked that they could have turned out to be the Kleenex Brothers). Don Reid sang lead; Harold Reid, Don's older brother, sang bass; Phil Balsley sang baritone; and Lew DeWitt sang tenor and was the guitarist of the Statlers before being replaced by Jimmy Fortune in 1983 due to DeWitt's ill health.[3] DeWitt continued to perform as a solo artist until his death on August 15, 1990, from heart and kidney disease

LYRICS: I saw her from a distance As she walked up to the wall In her hand she held some flowers As her tears began to fall She took out pen and paper As to trace her memories She looked up to Heaven And the words she said were these She said "Lord my boy was special And he meant so much to me" And oh I'd love to see him Just one more time You see All I have are the memories And the moments to recall So Lord could You tell him He's more than a name on a wall She said "He really missed the family And being home on Christmas day" And he died for God and country In a place so far away I remember just a little boy Playing war since he was three But Lord this time I know He's not coming home to me She said "Lord my boy was special And he meant so much to me" And oh I'd love to see him But I know it just can't be So I thank You for my memories And the moments to recall But Lord could You tell him He's more than a name on a wall Lord could You tell him He's more than a name on a wall Lord could you tell him He`s more than a name on a wall More than a name on a wall

We were actually asked to lead the parade, but we were dead on our feet by then. There are two names, from my small hometown in NE Ohio on the Wall.

The 92 year old sat quietly on the back of the bus the rest of the trip, he didn't give a shit about the spread of communism in vietnam (even though we were all anti communists) Herb just wanted his brother back. What a powerful song.

Before I met and married the man who was my everything, I volunteered with the 'Traveling Wall' when it came to where I lived. The people who came ranged from Vietnam vets looking for their mates to families who wanted to see the name of their son, father, brother or boyfriend. The impact of those men and women who were overcome with emotion will always be with me. My husband and I had been married about 15 years when the Traveling Wall came to our small town --- Admittedly I was nervous how it would affect my husband --- He served 3 tours in Vietnam, been injured was awarded Silver and Bronze stars and 3 Purple Hearts --- But didn't consider what he did as unusual --- Yet I knew the memories of those battles were still inside him when he'd awake from nightmares I cannot begin to imagine. When we got to the Wall he located one name that meant a lot to him -- He touched the name and tears fell. He looked at me and said of all the men he knew other there -- this one young man was the one who shouldn't have died and certainly not so young --- He was only 18. My husband said he was like a little brother to him --- Even with a weapon in his hand, he still looked like he should have been headed to play baseball --- not fight in a war. This song is the most perfect tribute to all the men and women who have been sent to war --- Some never coming home and some coming home, forever changed. Now it seems we're on the precipice of WWIII and I fear that the only thing we have learned, despite all of technological advances, is how to kill and destroy more efficiently. We never seem to learn to value life --- We're incredible adaptive and resilient creatures --- But also very frail and so easy to be destroyed............. And we just never seem to learn.........

Harold, Lew and Phil are several years older than Don and they had to wait until Don finished high school before he could join the band. All four sing lead but Don handled the majority. Lewis was the unofficial leader as well as their musical director. When Lew had to step down because of his health many thought it might be the end for the Statler's. Jimmy Fortune joined as tenor and he didn't try to replace Lewis but added his own identity and personality and the quartet carried on. They had been slumping on the charts and Jimmy wrote a couple of songs that the Statler's took to #1 and they were back on top. Lew DeWitt is sadly missed but his songs and voice will always be with us.

The daily death totals, year to date deaths, total deaths, draft numbers, etc. would be at the bottom of the screen. They would show the jungle, tanks, bombings, shootings, and it was beyond brutal. Soldiers came back unpopular, spit on, unemployable, and cast outs! Thanks Jane Fonda for your help! IMO, its been a downhill side for America since then. I deeply, from my heart, appreciate this song for the men and women who served in that ugly war. They were short changed absolutely. Today, when I see a hat or patch, I thank them for their service, they nearly always tear up bc they are being acknowledged for their sacrifice. They say how it certainly was done back then! Jimmy, God gave you an amazing song to share. So thankful you went to jam with Lew all those years ago!

I have a playlist on my computer full of songs that would be appropriate for Memorial Day. This song is at the top. God bless all those who served, those who serve today.
