      Very true, they gave credit where credit is due. The older singers always do unlike some new ones. The classic singers seem to remember how rough life was and did stuff to help their home towns not turn their backs on them. No matter how famous they are they never forgotten their roots. I listen to them with the Oakridge boys and Alabama every night on my Kindle as I sleep, never gets old.👍😊

    Was never a fan of groups, didn't like the Beatles, didn't like the Stones, there were many that I didn't like(didn't dislike them, just wouldn't buy their records) but the Statler brothers were special, they harmonized so well that they sounded like just one person with a lot of talent, Now I believe that Talent like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think my wife was the most beautiful women to ever take a breath.....and the Statler brothers were the best of all time!....and I think I am right on both counts, hell I know I am right🤣🤣🤣🤣

      @@thelastjohnwayne Johnny Cash is the Man Solely responsible for the Statler Brothers getting their start in Country Music. He hired them to open up for him beginning with their very first Show in Canton, Ohio in March of 1964. Within just a short couple years, they were recording songs, and making records, and slowly getting seen, and heard. They stayed with John for the next eight & half years before they finally realized that the time had come for them to get out on their own, and all throughout their 38 year Career, they always performed Sold Out Shows, and during all of their years, they only had 2 people leave the Group. Joe McDormand was their first Lead Singer from 1955, until 1960, when Harold's younger Brother Don stepped up to the Microphone to take over for Joe, and then Jimmy Fortune was selected by Lew Dewitt to take over for Lew as the Tenor Singer when Lew took a 6 month leave for Medical Reasons, and at the end of the 6 months, Lew came back, but realized within a week, that he could no longer keep up with the Statler's Rigorous Touring Schedule, and retired, thus putting Jimmy Fortune in permanently as the Statler's Tenor Singer. Lew was with the Statlers for 18 years, and Jimmy was with them for almost 21 years. Jimmy is now enjoying a very busy Solo Career in Music while Don, and Phil are enjoying retirement. Harold passed from Kidney Disease in April of 2020.

    November 13, 1977 Johnny performed at the LSU Assembly Center in Baton Rouge. My mama, a single mother working two jobs, somehow managed to get tickets to take me to that. This was back when these boys were still touring with Johnny. You know, I hardly remember anything about Johnny's performance that night, but forty-odd years later, I still remember seeing The Statler Brothers perform. As far as I was and still am concerned, they stole the show.

    It started March of sixty-four
    Many years ago
    We were hired by Johnny Cash
    To open up his show
    Four boys, a worn out Cadillac
    With a road map on the dash
    For the next eight and one half years
    We got paid by Cash
    He took us down to Nashville
    To Columbia studio
    Not knowing where we came from
    They told us where to go
    But Johnny said, "I like 'em
    Don't you give them no trash"
    You see, we were Johnny's little boys
    And we got paid by Cash
    We were there when June became
    Johnny's lovin' bride
    And we sang to him that mornin'
    Our buddy Luther died
    And we were there when the son was born
    That filled them both with pride
    And we were there when John remembered
    God was on his side
    We watched him on the concert stage
    We watched him write his songs
    And saw the things we had to do
    And the things that could go wrong
    And if we had to start again
    We'd do it in a flash
    'Cause we learned more than we earned
    When we got paid by Cash
    Then came the time when our career
    Demanded that we go
    And through some tears we all shook hands
    That last and final show
    All those years we never had
    A contract or a clash
    Whatever we may be today
    We owe it all to Cash
    We were there when June became
    Johnny's lovin' bride,
    And we sang to him that mornin'
    Our buddy Luther died
    And we were there when the son was born
    That filled them both with pride
    And we were there when John remembered
    God was on his side
    Now John will tell you there were years
    When times were good and bad
    But we can tell you they were some
    Of the best we ever had
    Carl Perkins and the Carters
    And the Tennessee Three
    We were one big happy family
    And would have done it all for free
    Don don, don don
    Don don, don don

    I saw Johnny Cash and the Statler Brothers at the little rural Princeton County Fair in 1965. I was 15 and with my elderly aunts. It cost $2.25 to get in. I thought that was way too much money to see some singers.
    Little did I know that I was about to see a concert of a lifetime for the paltry sum of $2.25.
    The Statlers were fantastic. I knew they were bound for stardom.
    Johnny was drunk. I had never seen a drunk person but I knew he was drunk. I thought he was going to fall off the stage by the end of the program when he and June sang Ring of Fire.
    😮
    I am so glad he got his life together and married June. He too was a incredible entertainer and he is definitely a STAR ⭐️

    I was fortunate to have seen them in Vegas, the first time they Headlined. Front and center. One of my best memories.

      Lee Brown Luther Perkins (no relation to Carl) was Johnny’s lead guitar player. He was a heavy smoker and it’s believed he fell asleep with a lit cigarette and burned to death, best I remember it was the early 70’s. At the end of the song the Statlers sing “Dow Dow Dow”, that was Luther’s guitar line in Ring of Fire in fact any early Cash song, the words may have been Johnnys but the melody was Luthers👍

    Love the Statler Brothers. Back where I come from. I babysat for Lew Dewitt and Harold Reid's children when they were little and I was young. Love their harmony. Love these "Guys from the Valley" in Virginia. RIP Harold.

    Great clip - the Stater's were terrific entertainers and for quite awhile the best show in the USA period. Marshall Grant leaving JR to manage the Statler's must have been something else. How 2 viewers could give this a thumbs down is ridiculous!

    First Concert I saw was these original
    Guys in the 70s in Garrett Coliseum. Still the best one I recall. Have been in the TNN studio at Opryland Ralph Emory with Ray Stevens. Once the show was done Ray said he didn’t have no place to be so we got a free 2+ hour concert. Great memories.
