"Playlist Best of Statler Brothers goo.gl/cEMerY Subscribe for more goo.gl/Hz17CX" Music video by The Statler Brothers performing My Only Love. (C) 1984 Mercury Records
My husband bought the cd and as it played for me he proposed. He passed in 2016 and I truly miss him every day . God has stood with me this entire time . I have stayed single and enjoy my own company . I'm engaging with friends again and enjoying life.
They made many hits with Jimmy,they made many hits with Lew,doesnt really matter to me.What matters is that these men have been unparalleled as singers and showmen.They always gave their audiences 100%.By the way,if anyone who reads this knows any of The Statlers,please tell them that this Vietnam Vet appreciates "More Than A Name on the Wall" more than I could ever put into words.God Bless you all for that wonderful,meaningful song.
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.
Many years ago a friend was in love. One night after having way too much to drink he put an old amp in his car along with a long extension cord and at about 2AM was just outside that girl's bedroom window. He was singing this song to her. I was standing maybe 200 feet away leaning against a tree laughing and crying both. The girl's father surprised me by just standing at the door until he finished. About 6 months later they got married. Still, after close to 30 years still married and bouncing their grandkids on their knees. My only regret is I could not video that event.
@@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.
26 Years ago this was our wedding song! I walked down the aisle to this song and every time my hubby and I hear it we cry and dance as if we've just been married. Thank you so very much for putting this on the web for us.
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.
During my first marriage, this song came out, and I attributed it to our marriage & love, because I had loved him so much!! We went to see the Statler's whenever we could, and I think I still have many of their albums. We were headed to our State Fair in September 1982, where they were to perform, and we received a phone call, that my brother had died in a car wreck, so we didn't go to the Fair. A few years later on Memorial Day, I went to the Cemetery where my brother was buried, and behold, the Statler's were singing thru out the cemetery over the intercom, and I knew then that my brother knew, that I was there. Six years later, my husband cheated and wanted a divorce. He married another woman (diff from the affair), and claimed this song as "their song"!! My daughter was furious!! I will always love the Statler's regardless, and hope they sing to me & my daughter, when we get up there!! 💐✝️👍💕
I'm Rachel Beck and I'm using my sisters account to post this. I cry every time I watch this video or hear this song. I thank God every day for giving us the Statler Brothers and for the ability to listen to such beautiful music. Thank you for this song.
Rip Harold you made great music and you will be so very missed. I love my rock Harold, but as a Christian I cannot pull myself away from my hymns. You will always be the song in the back of my mind. These songs will ALWAYS be my favourites! May God bless you Harold
NOT MUCH BUT WANTED TO SHARE MY SMALL TRIBUTE TO HAROLD REID- : You will be greatly missed.Thanks for all those great songs.I have been a fan over the years since first hearing "Flowers on the Wall" back in 1980. I will always remember his wit, his humor, his big heart, & that wonderful bass sound. Harold left a legacy never to be forgotten. Our world lost a great voice & a great man. Rest In Peace Harold rest in peace.You were one of a kind.😔
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 ❤️
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.
i've now listened to this about 15 times and have decided i have to sing it at somebody's wedding. my brothers can sing alright, maybe we can get together. sure would be magical. what a fantastic song, i can't hear it enough. beautiful.
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 !
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
From a former country music radio personality who played the Statler Brothers on the radio and was in awe of Harold's voice! What a fantastic group! RIP Harold, the angels will sound awesome with you there! Cant wait to hear you with them!
This song was sung at my wedding. I cried then because it was a happy time. I cry now because last year I lost my only love due to kidney failure and a heart attack.
I was in a gospel quartet for 10 years. Small time local group. But special because I sang with my late father and two men who are still my friends today. Over 20 years ago we sang this song at a wedding for a couple that is still married. Our pianist Crystal played this arrangement perfectly. She passed away two months ago at 46.Hearing that piano brought back fond memories.
I represent the younger generation, as in Gen X, in saying that these boys, Gatlin Brothers, and The Oak Ridge Boys are the best country stars of eternity.
Loved them all, it breaks my heart that Harold recently passed away, pray for the family god blessed them with music and voices to spread the word of god and Jesus Christ, they were so amazing❤️
So sorry to hear of your loss. We will always remember. God comfort you all during this very difficult time. He's with Jesus now and we will see him again. 😔💙
@Mattea68 it's true that he couldn't 'duplicate" Lews sound,, but he created his own "statlerized" sound,.. the Statlers never lost a step... they were great with both Lew and Jimmy
A really nice video. These guys had one of the most wonderful sounds in music. It's a shame the world has lost one of the best bass singers of all times. May God hold each and every one in his hand and close to his heart. I hope to one day sit in heaven and listen to all of you sing once again.
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
In 1963 The Statler Bros. made their first appearance in Salt Lake City on the Johnny Cash show. I was there, and never missed one of those shows, they were annual events. I'll never forget them I'll always enjoy the recordings that keep them in our lives. Every handshake and every short conversation I had with the members of the show are treasured memories now.
Each time I think of the loss of Harold I feel a knot in my stomach. What a legacy all of these wonderful guys have left to their families, the music world and humanity. Until we meet in the "REAL" Grand Ol' Opry! It seems like just yesterday that this video was released. I have been so blessed to be with my only one for the last 38 years and look forward to many more. What a blessing a good woman is to have in your life.
This was my mom and dad's song. Lost my mom 2 months ago to cancer. Me and my dad can never get through this piece without crying now. Grew up with the Statler Bros and will always love & cherish their music.
The Best Group that ever sang Country in my life and I am 80 been flowing the Staters Brother since the became in the 50 s.When they sang christen song it melts my heart,Howard with the deep voice it was chilling to hear,You guys will be never forgotten in Country,you all are so down to earth,because you were raised the right way,My Heart is broke ,but I have almost every song you guys sang,I just have to put them on,So From My Family To yours My God Bless. You all and keep you close to his heart.I love you guys you are my brothers in Christ Amen 🙏
Interestin' how Jimmy Fortune sings the verses, and, Don Reid, takes the lead on the choruses. ACC's #41 song of '85. God bless ya, Statlers. Thanx, VEVO, for postin' it. Have a blessed weekend!
My favorite Statler Brothers song. I marched to this song for our 25th wedding anniversary a few years ago. Before I even married my husband for our first wedding in 1994, I had a daydream about this song and the color of dress I would wear being my second marriage to my second husband. This song has become one of our songs.
This was the 1st dance song at my big day with MY ONLY LOVE 27 yrs ago. Few songs are this beautiful so thank you Jimmy for the FORTUNE of hearing it again.
I fell in love with this song when I married in 1986. We played it and will be doing it for our renewal ceremony next year. It will be 30 years. Still have never heard any better.
@@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!
I was lucky enough to be getting married ( 1985 ) when this song was hot. I was lucky too that the picky church singing group agreed to sing it. The rejected the other song I picked. LOL and my hubby was a groomzilla ( before there was a name for that ) I got to pick my dress one song and the match books and he picked everything else from the tux's to the cake to the venue etc. 31 years later we still doing okay ( I guess ) LOL. ty for post gb
A friend and Presbyterian Minister here in Fayetteville NC lived one street over from Harold and his brothers in Staunton VA growing up. He was a great singer and song writer.
What one may say about this providential song?? Perfect words ,very beautiful music looks like they came from paradise.Each time i hear turning back a happy days.i love country music so much.
This is my parents' song! it has played at both of my sisters weddings as well...i guess me and my other sister are obligated to use it when that day comes as well.
Statlers brothers my bestest friend s group he really liked back in 1999 & that same man( my Texas little man Eddie wayne) whatta beautiful love song performed by statlers! Wish all of u statlers good health& prosperity
In my humble opinion, I believe this is Jimmy's Best lead of All of the Class-act Statler Brothers songs that he was a part of. Not to take away from Any of the other "brothers", they were(are) All Great and phenomenal at harmonizing! I was blessed to have been able to see them in concert back in the 80's, and Harold was surely quite the clown and loved having a good time! Heaven has gained a Great Saint and jokester!
First saw these boys when they opened for Johnny Cash in a show in Columbia SC in the late 60's, while I was in the USAF stationed at Shaw AFB. Been singing along with them ever since. Just saw a rerun of their farewell show last Sat, night. Never be another group that will even come close!
This song is very nice. I have live stage pictures from a '77 concert in Grand Rapids. Vacuum sealed in perfect condition to any collectors. All four of the original Statlers on stage. They did a very good show.
My true love and I never made it to the wedding. Sadly Joe was diagnosed with cancer . I ll never get over it and it’s been 11 years. This was the song I wanted played for our first dance at the reception
Thank you Shirley D so much and I do tell him each day how I feel. Life is so precious and people don't understand until they loose someone or have their loved ones become gravely ill with an incurable disease.
One of the best songs they ever sang... But I grew up listening to the Statler Brothers. Today is my dad's Birthday, he has been gone for 4yrs now. I have his CD's and even my kids, love them!!! Their Papa taught them well... Just wish I could've fulfilled his dream of them singing at his funeral.... He was their Biggest Fan!!!!
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.
Never even for one second take the love you have for granted . Never go to bed at night assuming tomorrow's just another day. In five short minutes your life can be turned completely upside down . You can go from this happy comfortable life to being more alone then you ever thought you could be. You can go from getting up every morning with a purpose and a plan to waking up and just hoping you can go back to sleep so you can put off facing another day alone. If you have someone that truly loves you and you love them hang on to it and cherish it because the next time you hear them say I love you may be the last time.
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.
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...
My husband bought the cd and as it played for me he proposed. He passed in 2016 and I truly miss him every day . God has stood with me this entire time . I have stayed single and enjoy my own company . I'm engaging with friends again and enjoying life.
They made many hits with Jimmy,they made many hits with Lew,doesnt really matter to me.What matters is that these men have been unparalleled as singers and showmen.They always gave their audiences 100%.By the way,if anyone who reads this knows any of The Statlers,please tell them that this Vietnam Vet appreciates "More Than A Name on the Wall" more than I could ever put into words.God Bless you all for that wonderful,meaningful song.
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.
Jimmy wrote this for his brothers wedding....a pretty nice gift Mr. Fortune...
And for the Statlers, too (#1 in 1985).
I got married to this song also in 1985. even though I got divorced, I still love this song.
Many years ago a friend was in love. One night after having way too much to drink he put an old amp in his car along with a long extension cord and at about 2AM was just outside that girl's bedroom window.

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.👍😆😆
26 Years ago this was our wedding song! I walked down the aisle to this song and every time my hubby and I hear it we cry and dance as if we've just been married. Thank you so very much for putting this on the web for us.
This is one of their most beautiful songs and I never get tired of hearing it. Thank you, Statlers!
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….
Dedicated this song to my wife upon our daughter's birth at the hospital 35 years ago. I love you Alma if you ever see this.
You will be dearly missed Harold. Rest softly. :-(
I still can't get over Harold Reid has passed away. He was my favorite.
Awesome song!!!!
Me too!
Best group ever! Saw them on farewell tour! Love these guys!
Brought a tear to my eye. What a voice Harold blessed us with.
RIP: Harold Reid. You will be greatly missed.

Played this song at my wedding....31+ years ago.still has a lot of meaning for both of us.
God has blessed you with a true Love
This was the only song played at our wedding, and it was perfect. Thank you, Statlers!
We played this 35 years ago at our wedding. It’s such a beautiful song. Happier today than ever. Thanks for recording it.
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?
One of the most beautiful songs ever.Love ``The Statler Brothers``.
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.
i've now listened to this about 15 times and have decided i have to sing it at somebody's wedding. my brothers can sing alright, maybe we can get together. sure would be magical. what a fantastic song, i can't hear it enough. beautiful.
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.

Godspeed Harold Reid. Thank you so much for bringing joy in my life. Rest in Peace. 4/24/2020
they had the very Best Harmony of any group,got to see these Fine Fellas growing up,defintley never be another Group like them RIP Harold,
this song is dedicated to my wife Annette, we have been married for 25 years, I am blessed to have her in my life. and she is my only love.
My name is Annette too, wish I had a husband for that long, that could say that to me lol😂😂😂
MISS THE BROTHERS< BUT THEY EARNED RETIREMENT & LEFT SO MANY PRECIOUS MEMREES!!!!
This was the song my husband danced to at our wedding in 1989 and this week he passed away peacefully in his sleep. This song is so beautiful
The Prettiest Words in a Beautiful Song written by Little Jimmie Fortune, the newest member of the Staler Brothers before they Retired
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.
Jimmy has an amazing voice...absolutely love it ❤
Hello Tammy, how are you doing?
This was me and my wife's wedding song in 2009. She is truly My Only Love. I grew up on the Statlers and love all their music.
From a former country music radio personality who played the Statler Brothers on the radio and was in awe of Harold's voice! What a fantastic group! RIP Harold, the angels will sound awesome with you there! Cant wait to hear you with them!
This song was sung at my wedding. I cried then because it was a happy time. I cry now because last year I lost my only love due to kidney failure and a heart attack.
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

Loved them all, it breaks my heart that Harold recently passed away, pray for the family god blessed them with music and voices to spread the word of god and Jesus Christ, they were so amazing❤️
Sending my prayers to the family of Harold Reid .
Statler Brothers are my favourite growing up with their music
Hey how are you doing today….?
So sorry to hear of your loss. We will always remember. God comfort you all during this very difficult time. He's with Jesus now and we will see him again. 😔💙
Hey how are you doing today.?
@Mattea68 it's true that he couldn't 'duplicate" Lews sound,, but he created his own "statlerized" sound,.. the Statlers never lost a step... they were great with both Lew and Jimmy
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.
A really nice video. These guys had one of the most wonderful sounds in music. It's a shame the world has lost one of the best bass singers of all times. May God hold each and every one in his hand and close to his heart. I hope to one day sit in heaven and listen to all of you sing once again.
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 .💞❤

Richard Skola beautiful memories. thanks for sharing
“I can’t believe the way I feel, you’re so special, you’re so real.” RIP Harold
This is my song to my husband of 52 years. The words are perfect.
Congradultions! I wish you have many more. I lost my husband of 48 years. It's still so hard!
God love you.

The Statler Brothers sang this song at my wedding 38 Yeats ago. I've always loved them and this song and I still feel the same way about my husband.
Hey how are you doing today?
Harold you and the Statlers will always be simply the best. ms. verla

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
Interestin' how Jimmy Fortune sings the verses, and, Don Reid, takes the lead on the choruses. ACC's #41 song of '85. God bless ya, Statlers. Thanx, VEVO, for postin' it. Have a blessed weekend!
I loved your deep voice. I am certain you are using that bass in God's choir now. And Heaven is vibrating!
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?
My favorite Statler Brothers song. I marched to this song for our 25th wedding anniversary a few years ago. Before I even married my husband for our first wedding in 1994, I had a daydream about this song and the color of dress I would wear being my second marriage to my second husband. This song has become one of our songs.
Hey how are you doing today?
This was the song my husband Paul and I danced to 20 years ago. Paul is and will always be my only love.
This was the 1st dance song at my big day with MY ONLY LOVE 27 yrs ago. Few songs are this beautiful so thank you Jimmy for the FORTUNE of hearing it again.
One of the best groups ever...cant beat those harmonies
I fell in love with this song when I married in 1986. We played it and will be doing it for our renewal ceremony next year. It will be 30 years. Still have never heard any better.
This is a by gone era of very good country singers and music. Thanks for the memories Jimmy Fortune and all the Statler brothers.
RIP Harold..thanks for all the memories
Thanks for the songs, Harold, fly high, sir ♡♡♡
My heart is so sad. Harold brought my sister so much happiness. The Statler Brother's music will always be part of our memories
Hello Irene, how are you doing?
This song makes me cry every time. I'm 21 and I love the Statler Brothers more than words can say! Thank God for you boys!
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!!!😘
33 years ago today we played this song at our wedding. The words mean so much! He's still my only love

The Statlers & The Oak Ridge Boys were the best in the west when it came to very special music like this. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.

You both are so lucky to have found each other. May you have many more years.
Linda Smith thank you, and god bless you as well

I was lucky enough to be getting married ( 1985 ) when this song was hot. I was lucky too that the picky church singing group agreed to sing it. The rejected the other song I picked. LOL and my hubby was a groomzilla ( before there was a name for that ) I got to pick my dress one song and the match books and he picked everything else from the tux's to the cake to the venue etc. 31 years later we still doing okay ( I guess ) LOL. ty for post gb
A #1 hit for The Statler Brothers on the Country & Western charts. It was the 745th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.
A friend and Presbyterian Minister here in Fayetteville NC lived one street over from Harold and his brothers in Staunton VA growing up. He was a great singer and song writer.
timelsess, what a great song. nobody does it better.
Annette Lynch true very true
What one may say about this providential song?? Perfect words ,very beautiful music looks like they came from paradise.Each time i hear turning back a happy days.i love country music so much.
This is my parents' song! it has played at both of my sisters weddings as well...i guess me and my other sister are obligated to use it when that day comes as well.
Statlers brothers my bestest friend s group he really liked back in 1999 & that same man( my Texas little man Eddie wayne) whatta beautiful love song performed by statlers! Wish all of u statlers good health& prosperity

ScaledKeys Why be a douche?
In my humble opinion, I believe this is Jimmy's Best lead of All of the Class-act Statler Brothers songs that he was a part of.
Not to take away from Any of the other "brothers", they were(are) All Great and phenomenal at harmonizing!
I was blessed to have been able to see them in concert back in the 80's, and Harold was surely quite the clown and loved having a good time! Heaven has gained a Great Saint and jokester!
First saw these boys when they opened for Johnny Cash in a show in Columbia SC in the late 60's, while I was in the USAF stationed at Shaw AFB. Been singing along with them ever since. Just saw a rerun of their farewell show last Sat, night. Never be another group that will even come close!
There guys are the greatest, how blessed they are to have been able to sing as they have for all these years.....
This song is very nice. I have live stage pictures from a '77 concert in Grand Rapids. Vacuum sealed in perfect condition to any collectors. All four of the original Statlers on stage. They did a very good show.
My true love and I never made it to the wedding. Sadly Joe was diagnosed with cancer . I ll never get over it and it’s been 11 years. This was the song I wanted played for our first dance at the reception
Angela Barrineau ..So very sorry for your loss ,....
I believe this is their best song. Love all of them, but this one hits square dead center of the heart!!!
Thank you Shirley D so much and I do tell him each day how I feel. Life is so precious and people don't understand until they loose someone or have their loved ones become gravely ill with an incurable disease.
This was my wedding song. I finally got it right and thank my Lord for my wonderful husband.
Oh no!! I saw the Statler Brothers in concert in Fargo, ND many years ago. It was one of the greatest highlights of my life! Love them!!
Hello Leeann , how are you doing?
I miss them so much, man they have some classics
One beautiful song respect love your partner
Hey how are you doing today..?
Hello Betty, how are you doing today?
This was sung at my wedding 32 years ago. Words are still true.
I've forgotten how BEAUTIFUL this song is. I think, I'll share it with my girlfriend and see what she thinks! :-) GREAT job, Guys!
Did y'all get married?
I've dreamed about this my beautiful Angel..
Harold was awesome. Loved their songs.
Hey how are you doing today….?
This Song means As Much to me today as It Did 29 Yrs ago..Totally Amazing..My Number 1 Wedding song...
One of the best songs they ever sang... But I grew up listening to the Statler Brothers. Today is my dad's Birthday, he has been gone for 4yrs now. I have his CD's and even my kids, love them!!! Their Papa taught them well... Just wish I could've fulfilled his dream of them singing at his funeral.... He was their Biggest Fan!!!!
my condolences man. this is one of my absolute favorites by the Statlers...
STATLER BROTHERS SURE MAYBE GOOD SONGS AND THIS ONE HERE I'M SENDING TO MY FIANCE. THANK YOU STEP MY BROTHERS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC ALL THESE YEARS
Jimmy Fortune actually wrote this for his brother as a wedding gift!
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.
Never even for one second take the love you have for granted . Never go to bed at night assuming tomorrow's just another day. In five short minutes your life can be turned completely upside down . You can go from this happy comfortable life to being more alone then you ever thought you could be. You can go from getting up every morning with a purpose and a plan to waking up and just hoping you can go back to sleep so you can put off facing another day alone. If you have someone that truly loves you and you love them hang on to it and cherish it because the next time you hear them say I love you may be the last time.
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...
