  • Hovie sets up this song, and it is not an easy song to sing, the verses require a lot of precision. As always the Statesmen do so without a beat.
    Members incude: Doy Ott, Denver Crumpler, Jake Hess, Big Chief, and Hovie Lister.

    Denver Crumpler is probably the best tenor I've ever heard. I was too young to remember him but I remember Chief, Jake, Ott and Rosie in the '60's and used to watch them on TV in between church services on Sunday.

    I was a about ten the first time I heard this song. That was 1960 I think. I always thought the Statler Brothers were the first that I heard sing it. I didn't remember ever hearing it from the Statesmen. But I was a kid. Still, I remember the impact this song had on me then. And, while I've never been caught in a fire, I've had other close calls. And Faith is what brought me out. This song still brings tears to my eyes.

    The Fourth Man (Arthur Smith)
    Refrain: They wouldn't bend They held on to the will of God so we are told They wouldn't bow They would not bow their knees to idols made of gold They wouldn't burn They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. Now the prophet Daniel tells about Three men who walked with God Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Before the wicked king they stood And the king commanded them bound and thrown Into the fiery furnace that day But the fire was so hot that the men were slain That forced them on their way. Refrain: Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up To witness this awful fate He began to tremble at what he saw In astonished tones he spake Did we not cast three men bound Into the midst of the fire Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt Unbound and walkin' down there; There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego In the fiery coals they trod But the form of the Fourth Man that I see Is like the Son of God;

    I was born in '71 & didn't know who the Statesmen were till the Gaither Videos.
    What else can be said that hasn't? They
    set a standard thats even today's groups
    are striving to achieve. It doesn't get
    ANY better. I know they are together in
    Heaven now singing again.

    The high notes were sung by the incomparable, and outrageous Denver Crumpler. The greatest of all Statesmen. That he often stayed in the background while he had the ability to vocally blow away anyone else in the quartet at any time is a testament to his teamwork and humility.

      Jake always insisted that the greatest Statesmen lineup ever was with Denver Crumpler. It's hard not to agree. I love the lineups with Rosie for other reasons, just like I think the best post-Hess lineups were with Jack Toney. However, you can't beat Crump, Hess, Doy, and Chief.

  • @southerncrescent1401

    @junior2404 As earlier mentioned, the Word of God tells us in 2Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. And the reason Christ is returning is to rule for one thousand years in His kingdom here on earth. The blood washed saints will come with Him.

  • @ilmsff7
    @ilmsff7 12 років тому +1

    I don't think so. The singers look at each other at other times during the song. I think it's just a little choreagraphy to make it like they are telling the story or just a way to not stare in the camera for the entire time.

  • @junior2404
    @junior2404 15 років тому +1

    Please study 1 Thessalonions 4. Nobody goes to heaven or hell when they die. Decisions are made and seal down here and that blessed day when the Lord returns he will then give us our due reward(Rev 22:11-12)i.e. eternal life or eternal damnation. We hope that everyone who profess Christ would b saved, but only God who judges the heart knows the answer. So someday if they had lived the faithful life, the Statesmen will be singing in Heaven. See also Ezekiel 33.

    Would anyone know how "statesmen fan" was able to find these old recordings of the statesmen quartet? I know they came from the nabisco show, but these clips must come from CD or VHS of some sort because towards the end of the songs it will start to play another song before it cuts off. There was even one video "statesmen fan" uploaded that showed, at the end of the song, it cutting to Bill Gaither watching it on a little TV. The only Bill Gaither videos I've found on the statesmen did not include some of these older clips such as The Fourth Man or One Of These Mornings or Sunday Mornin' Meeting' Time. Would anyone be able to help me out to know where he might have gotten these old video clips?

    Again, all I have to say is people need to study the Word of God, carefully. This subject is deep and requires much prayer and meditation. But think, God had to raise Moses up from the dead to take him up. Why? If he died and went straight to heaven why ressurect him? Scripture is clear if you love God you need not worry about your 'fate' when Christ returns. Oh yeah, and why is Christ returning if we are with him when we die?
