Recently, Harold Reid, the comedian, and bass, voice of the Staler Brothers sadly, has left us. The Statler Brothers, had a unique sound that was ALL THEIR OWN. Harold, has joined Lew, at The Throne Of God. Our hearts are broken, But God rejoices, in their unique sound. The Statler Brothers, WILL ALWAYS be loved and missed. Thank you gentlemen, for your love and your songs.

Love the Statler Brothers, Harold Reid was certainly one of a kind, he had an awesome sense of humor! Lew DeWitt had such a beautiful soprano voice, I could listen to him sing all day! God rest their souls, I miss them both! The Statlers had such good old fashioned clean humor, its something that's sorely missing in the world of entertainment these days! The Statler Brothers Show was the best thing on tv in the mid and late 1990s! I watched it every Saturday night!

@kevinswinyer3176 Жыл бұрын

@ @barrybrittain6157, Lew had a Tenor Voice, not Soprano, but his Tenor Voice was very unique to say the least. It had the sound and workings of a Tenor Voice meant more for Opera than Country/Gospel Music, but yet Lew worked with what God gave him, and crafted that beautiful Opera style Tenor Voice to make it work for Country/Gospel, and God gave him what we got to hear, and enjoy for the 18 years that he was with the Group.

This along with the other comedy skits are hilarious and all time timeless classics for at least 2 reasons 1) Their retirement 2) Lew & Harolds passings They are all missed. There will never be another group like The Statler Brothers not has there ever in the country music industry been any other group like The Statler Brothers. Thank God for man to have someone with the ability & knowledge make this new technology & to make KZfaq videos and to have these timeless classics for our enjoyment. God Bless The Statler Brothers thats left (Don Reid, Phil Balsley, & Jimmy Fortune) although their not together anymore but they’re still Brothers & to the families of Lew Dewitt & Harold Reid and all their fans. Rest In Peace Harold Reid & Lew Dewitt y’all are truly missed & loved

Whoever don’t like the starker brothers don’t know what great music is. You can understand their lyrics clap your hands to the music listen to their songs long enough you’ll be able to sing along they have comedy seriousness they do salutes to the country they are down right down to earth a great group. Miss Lew and his voice & a great guitar player. I know their music better than the oak ridge boys but the oaks are my 2nd favorite group as the statlers are my 1st. Jimmy came into the group around 1982/1983 somewhere in that area after Lew had to quit do to health problems. Now their all retired from the group but Jimmy still performs single. I miss them all. I would’ve loved to have been at their final farewell concert. Great bunch of guys singing country and gospel. They got their start with Johnny Cash back in the late 1960s.

We followed Jimmy's single career for years until the young girls became too busy to travel. Fantastic memories... Lew and Harold are missed. Meeting Harold's daughter was a highlight for us of touring their museum on Monday after the last concert. God gave us wonderful music from them to cherish for years!! (did you know that Lew FOUND Jimmy and wanted him to replace him with the quartet?)

Sherry Allen yes I knew that about Jimmy & Lew & Jimmy only lived about 30 miles away from Staunton according to interviews they’ve given. On some songs (with Jimmy) he sounds a little bit like Lew but on others you can tell it’s Jimmy instead of Lew. Such a remarkable group that God has given us. RIP Harold & Lew now y’all are singing together again in Heaven

@sherryallen6213 4 жыл бұрын

@@brianhelle7064 Jimmy grew up in Anderson County. Before the Statlers retired he and Nina lived on Hwy 11 and their home could be seen from I-80 (I think that I remember that!). My daughter came up with the name of his first fan club (Fortune Tellers). We've lost touch with them but we have great memories of going to Jimmy's concerts in the 1st few years after his solo career was launched. His voice is very distinctive and easily recognized. The blend was there with the Statlers, maybe not quite as familiar in the beginning as Lew, but they were both amazing tenors! I still listen to my CDs and I have the DVD of the Statlers' last concert. We are actually in it for brief seconds!! I enjoy reading your comments, so thanks!
