The Statler Brothers
Chelsea Kane Staub
![The Statler Brothers. The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen.[1] 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 have 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).[2] Don Reid sang lead. Harold Reid, Don's older brother, sang bass. Phil Balsley sang baritone and Jimmy Fortune sang tenor after replacing original tenor Lew DeWitt in the early 1980s due to the latter's ill health.[3] DeWitt died on August 15, 1990 of heart and kidney disease, stemming from complications of Crohn's disease.[4]
The band's style was closely linked to their gospel roots. We took gospel harmonies, said Harold Reid, and put them over in country music.[1]
The group remained closely tied to their gospel roots, with a majority of their records containing at least one gospel song. They produced several albums containing only gospel music and recorded a tribute song to the Blackwood Brothers, who influenced their music. The Statler Brothers also wrote a tribute song to Johnny Cash, who discovered them. The song was called We Got Paid by Cash, and it reminisces about their time with Cash.[1] Career
The Statler Brothers started their career at a performance at Lyndhurst Methodist Church near their hometown of Staunton.[1] In 1964, they started an eight and a half year run with Johnny Cash as his opening act.[2] This period of their career was memorialized in their song We Got Paid by Cash. They were featured regularly on Cash's hit show The Johnny Cash Show on ABC. The show ran from 1969-1971. Due to their expanding career the Statlers left Cash's entourage in 1972 to pursue their own careers. They left Cash on good terms.
Two of their best-known songs are Flowers on the Wall, their first major hit, and the socially conscious Bed of Rose's. In the 1980s, the Statlers were a mainstay on TNN, where their videos were shown regularly. Between 1991 and 1998, they hosted their own show on TNN, The Statler Brothers Show, a weekly variety show and the channel's top-rated program for its entire run.[5][6]
Their songs have been featured on several film soundtracks. These range from Charlotte's Web in Smokey and the Bandit II, to Flowers on the Wall in the crime dramedy Pulp Fiction.
Throughout their career, much of their appeal was related to their incorporation of comedy and parody into their musical act, thanks in large part to the humorous talent of Harold Reid; they were frequently nominated for awards for their comedy as well as their singing. They recorded two comedy albums as Lester Roadhog Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys, and one-half of one side of the album Country Music Then and Now was devoted to satirizing small-town radio stations' Saturday morning shows.
They earned the number one spot on the Billboard chart four times for Do You Know You Are My Sunshine? in 1978, Elizabeth in 1982, My Only Love in 1984, and Too Much on My Heart in 1985.[7]
Since forming, the Statler Brothers have released over 40 albums.[8]
The Statler Brothers purchased and renovated their former elementary school in Staunton, and occupied the complex for several years. The complex consisted of offices for the group, a small museum and auditorium, as well as an adjacent](https://sun9-58.userapi.com/impg/c10482/g37504818/d_a02e7db5.jpg?quality=96&as=32x32,48x48,72x72&sign=8144167cb2d82901ecaab060c72ba9ac&u=h1xFyRopSZam2ULP36C3yJwRCyjqLpY2wYNRwTEbFkU&cs=480x480 "The Statler Brothers.
