"Playlist Best of Statler Brothers goo.gl/cEMerY Subscribe for more goo.gl/Hz17CX" Music video by The Statler Brothers performing Small, Small World. (C) 1990 Mercury Records
In 1980 I recieved a Chrismas card from the Statler Brothers with a key ring included. I worked at 73 WFMC in Goldsboro NC. At earlier stations in Florida and Alabama I had aired their music every chance. That card meant more to me than all of my Maple Street Memories. Harold's passing was a gut punch. I will to my last breath cherish their music. I was Class if '67!
I just saw where Harold Reid passed away last night. :( That just breaks my heart. I'm a die hard Statler Brothers fan! I began listening to them in the early 70's when I was only 15 or 16 years old. Fly high Harold....you will be missed by many!
Written by Gary Scruggs (Earl Scruggs son) and Thom Schuyler. Don and Harold were supposed to do this but Don said their 'speaking voices' were so close that it would confuse the listeners, so he gave his part to Jimmy and as he said "They did a fabulous job on not only the record but on the video we shot."
Yeah, Scott, I’ve never heard that one either!!! But I haven’t been listening to Statler Brothers quite as long as you have!! I was raised in the north east in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia… Then I met my ex-husband who is from Alabama, who didn’t want me to listen to rock ‘n’ roll, which I was raised on, etc.!! And I hated country music!! Ha, ha!! But then I learn to love country music, especially listening to it all the time!! He and I were migrant farmworkers and traveled around the country, picking fruit and vegetables… I ended up hearing and learning about to start my brothers and I have loved them ever cents!!! But my mother would say, “it’s a small world”!!!! She said it over and over again! So I love this song! It is so cute and funny how they did this year, isn’t it?! And it seems like a lot of guys like the Statler Brothers, not just the women!!! 😀✋👌👏❤️😁😝
I love these fellas, their wonderful singing, and so funny too. They were great, really great. Especially love their gospel songs, shoot, all their stuff is great
My father would always listen to these guys back in the late 70's and 80's when I was just a young kid... You could always count on there being a Statler Bros. tape playin' in our car and I hated that... I'd consistently bitch and whine at dad telling him to turn off that "yucky music"............................ Fast forward 35 years and now I enjoy their music and it's *my* kid who cant stand them...... Oh the irony!
R.I.P Harold Reid.. Me, my brother, and best friend would all 3 listen to this song in school. This was one of our favorites by them. My friend always cried laughing at ''I'll be a monkey's uncle, my Retia's got one too!'' It still cracks him up whenever he hears it. Thank you Harold and the rest of the Statlers for the memories! :)
I just listened to this song again with headphones on. Wow!!! What beautiful voices and such a beautiful song. Sung by 4 Beautiful guys! Ive listened and loved u guys since i was 5. Thank you for all the memories!
These guys new more about how to work their voices in a harmony people in today's country music can't even dream of. It's actually impressive how every song they did is just so good and so much talent in them. I wish I'd got to see them in concert.
I actually live in staunton and have probably seen some of them but I wouldn't know how they look like now. its been a long time since they were together, been over 10 years since they retired. I do remember meeting Don once though.
I noticed when the first blond walked in the girl on the right took a deep breath and pushed her chest out a little. Both of the ladies gave the blond the look which seemed to say where did she come from. I wonder if the two blonds were sisters since they both had butterfly tattoos outstanding song and the video was outstanding too
I met the actress who played Rita in the video (the blonde one) while visiting Nashville in 1990! A beautiful Lady! Wish I had had more time to spend with her!
i was born in 1999 but i wish i had been born in the 50s so i could here all these good singers in person like jimmie rodgers, jonny cash, and the statler brothers
... anyone else just notice after watching this for the millionth time that Don and Phil (I think it's them, at least.....) are at the table behind Harold, starting at 1:06?
@@JohnAllen-gg1oz You haven't lived very long. Have you ever heard of twins? Identical or fraternal it is a common thing And they managed to find two for this video. Imagine that you and your sister mama will be surprised.
this is literally one of the dumbest expressions of art i have ever heard and seen in my life. im literally dumbfounded and at a complete loss for words.

I never get tired of listening to the statler brothers music

I just stumbled on this and being a Swede I had no idea who the Statler Brothers are. But man oh man, I cannot get this song out of my head,

Rest in Peace Harold. You are missed.

At 82 I have to stumble on such gems??? That's OK as long as I do!!!
RIP the great Harold Reid🙏
Well, after over 50 years of listening to these fellas, I have not heard that one before. My complements to the writer, well done!

We had a 3 cd set that had this song on it so I grew up on it
I have listened to this fine fun music for so long I can't remember when. I am almost 75 and this music will never be lost because it is so great.
harold reed will surely be missed
Harold Reid*

RIP Harold Reid (the bass vocalist) 😔
There will never another group as great these guys were. They are real men in every fashion.

I saw Phil in Kroger a few days ago and he never changes. Looks the same as he did 25 years ago.
These guys are awesome always were and always will be awesome.
I just listened to this song again with headphones on. Wow!!! What beautiful voices and such a beautiful song. Sung by 4 Beautiful guys! Ive listened and loved u guys since i was 5. Thank you for all the memories!
great song i like it because Harold and Jimmy get to show off the lead singing skill's
Gigtapes brought me here 0:52 note in going to have to spend the next few days watching and learning about this group
That little guitar break between the verses sounds Jerry Reed-esque.
🎼💞🎵🎸🎵🇺🇸🎵
Statler Brothers Marvelous. God Bless You All and Family's
greatest group ever
i have hear them all my life and i still love to listen to them
You guys. Are great and funny. I sure enjoy listen to you. You all love happy 😃
My favorites along with Merle Haggard and George Strait. Never get tired of any of those guys.
I could listen to them all day and all night and not get tired of them.
And I still do often.
True. They were so great!
I like the overall dynamic of having the bass Harold Reid singing up against Jimmy Fortune's tenor...each trading verses in the song.

@@n1umj I did get to see them once . . . the only live concert I have ever been to . . . they were wonderful!!
Very funny but good song I like it when he switched the golf ball
I actually live in staunton and have probably seen some of them but I wouldn't know how they look like now. its been a long time since they were together, been over 10 years since they retired. I do remember meeting Don once though.
Love Don's speaking voice
it´s lower than his brother´s bass singer voice...
I recently asked Don Reid if he could sing as low as Harold and his reply was "No way"!
@@stratnick5640 wish i could find out about the actresses who do their videos
Flowers On the Wall was popular the summer I painted our family home. I saw the Statlers in 1968 with Johnny Cash in La Crosse, Wis.
Fantastic love this song from the brilliant statlers

I like the Statler brothers and all their gospel music is Great. But when I first heard this song I can't stop listening to it.
It's got a more of an Oak Ridge Boys sound but still great
What lovely singing I could listen to them all night the are brilliant
I wish Lew was still with them.. and sadly at that same year (1990) Lew died
I didn't care for Lew's singing.
Love it! But then, I love everything they do! 💖
This is the best music around.
Best song ever!
... anyone else just notice after watching this for the millionth time that Don and Phil (I think it's them, at least.....) are at the table behind Harold, starting at 1:06?
I never noticed before - thanks for pointing it out!
I first heard this song in the summer of 91, I hate country music but I loved the “Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle” line
Harold will be missed voice like no other
This sounds like a fun song to sing.
Jimmy you are so cute I just love watching you sing !!!
I agree with that
Great content and great music and people
GRAMS FAVORITE SONG!
They got a lot of explaining to do!
FABULOUS!
I ❤️ this 🎵 here. I'm a true fan of these Guys
This has the tune of the gambler.............
Anyone getting a bit of Kenny Rogers the gambler vibe?
Música agradável
Rip Harold so handsome
Can someone please explain the trick golfball?
I love this song but I'm more of an oak ridge boys fan they Are my favorite group
Jimmy looks so young in this video. He sure was a cute little booger!
Jimmy was actually in his forties when he did the video.

Yesterday I was in Staunton, Va; home town of the Statler Brothers. Sometime when I go there I hope I see at least one of these great performers.
@ephemeronchimera I believe Rita is supposed to be one girl. I was surprised to see the 2 girls in this video.
Yes, that puzzled me too.
@@JohnAllen-gg1oz You haven't lived very long. Have you ever heard of twins? Identical or fraternal it is a common thing And they managed to find two for this video. Imagine that you and your sister mama will be surprised.
That first Rita looks like the lady from Walker Texas Ranger.
I don’t understand the golf ball part? Why did Harold put it down n what exactly happened to the ball?
ارحبو
If there golf career don't work out I am sure they can sell used cars with those outfits they got
Jimmy owns dealerships in Harrisonburg, Va.
lol
Orlando Bloom looks like Jimmy!
Why is Nate Bargatzie in this video ?
Sounds like The Gambler by Kenny Rogers lol
Jester 501 اتحداك
who were the two blonds?
those are girls are probably the same one I bet
ok, hey not their best effort but long career you'll have some missteps no? Even for the great Statlers!
No tatoos

Tattoo love
OH the Dirty looks they give those last two women
this is literally one of the dumbest expressions of art i have ever heard and seen in my life. im literally dumbfounded and at a complete loss for words.
I can’t stop laughing
When they lost their magic completely.
