"The Statler Brothers Song" by Grandstaff

[daberdo57]

This is so awesome!

[Codydavismusic]

most underrated band ever!

[0Bowwow1]

This is a fabulous song, by a couple of fabulous singers! I guess it's in their blood. I sure do miss The Statler Brothers' show and concerts! They will always be the greatest in my mind!!!!

[SORATheKey99]

Big boots to fill, but if anyone can, surely they can! Come to Oregon, WilsonFairchild! I want to see you!

[cruztacean]

First I've heard of them. Three words into the song, I'm hooked. I love these guys as much as I love their daddies.

[TheSupergpop]

Yeppir, their daddies should be proud of them. They do a great job. Hope to hear more of their original music in the future.

[benoitbabe]

They do their daddies proud!!

[flashback96]

What eerie is that these two guys sound just like their dads...like fathers, like sons!

[farokemao]

wow...the best picture is at 2:13, when they appear with Johnny Cash and Carter sister....the best of country music

[WM31987]

awesome!!

[patlyon]

my goodness these guys are awesome! why the heck are they not on the radio?

[cruztacean]

@patlyon Because, sad to say, radio stations don't play good country music anymore.

[carolinasbeauty]

These guys are great. Being a fan of The Statler Brothers for over 40 yrs, I can pick out Harold's voice pretty easily. You can hear him at 2:36 and at the end - unless Wil sings that part on a back track! He has a great vocal range, so it could be him. Any info anyone?

[1smogs]

had never heard of the statlers till last year,now i can't get enough of them.absolutely love their music especially do you remember these and their singing of how great thou art and the lords prayer-absolutley beautiful

[LindaMarie1950]

What a tribute. I've loved them since I was in my 30's or before. Seen them 3 times. The voices remind me of younger voices. I think I could listen to this song for 30 minutes before I get tired. And the pictures are just awesome. I can relate to most of them. Linda in Kansas, just turned 60.

[1OLDCOACH1]

sounds like the Statlers.

[babyboomerpat]

This is a great song. Thank you. I have loved the Statler Brothers for years. Great voices, Grandstaff.

[sugarcoatedbitch]

Oh I love those boys so much! They feel like family, just like the Statler Brothers.

[lpodruchny]

I could sit and listen to these guys all day as I could their fathers. I feel that if the music industry wasn't as commercialized as it is that these guys would be #1 on the charts!!!

[BuddySilvers]

Good Song Grandstaff!!

[twinPaula12]

Wow - these fellows are great . They sure have inherited their dads' talents. Their harmony is right on. I love this song. Also, the pictures are super fine - they bring back many memories. I will always miss Lou. He was a handsome man and a great tenor. The best. What a legacy The Statler Brothers have left with not only their own fabulous talent but now with the sons of Harold and Don here. We don't find talent like this very often these days. Thanks so much for posting this winner. - Paula

[rson1962]

What a great song and a really great tribute to the best group ever to sing. GREAT job.

[Denmanize]

I saw the Statlers Brother on the Gospil show on GAC

[skylerv94]

Statler Bros.+drag=WIN

[richfincm]

Is that Elizabeth Taylor @ 1:21?  Love the Statlers and love these guys, too. Thanks for posting.

[Denmanize]

i wish the statler brothers have a reunion concert

[Bowtechmania]

i wish they would too.. i would so be there

[Denmanize]

@Bowtechmania Hi thank you they where great i saw them in 2 concerts

[kerrysovery]

What an awesome tribute to a Great American group!! I grew up with them and took my grandma to see thier Farewell Tour two years before she passed away. That is a memory I will never forget. We both cried when they sang How Great Thou Art!!

[ejane4]

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!

Love this! Can't wait for CDs and tours!

[luk1954]

Wow. They look and sound so much like their fathers. What wonderful singers the Statlers were. I have all their records, but only saw them once, in 1971, before they were really big. My fav Statler song is When the Yankees Came Home. For some reason that song brings tears to my eyes when i hear it.

[CarolinaMouse]

I absolutely love this song and think its a perfect tribute to my favorite country music group ever. Great job boys!

[rennogsd1996]

these kids are awesome.

[lynnandersonfan]

I love, love, LOVE this song and this video!!!!! Great seeing the Statlers, country's greatest group, with so many other country greats! I especially love the shot of them on the Mandrell sisters show and remember seeing it when it aired originally! Wil and Langdon are fantastic, and Wil not only LOOKS like his dad Harold, but has his sense of humor, too!

[DawnSvenson]

This has got to be one of the most moving, amazing tributes ever done for God's greatest blessing - our families. Way to go Will and Langdon!

[Denmanize]

I cn not believe this they look like that fathers and they are great singers

[HiWayLady49]

Oh my goodness. They look and sound like their dads. Wonderful. Their sound goes on.

[teeger66]

A beautiful tribute to the one of the best ever singing groups ...they did a great job of honoring our beloved Statlers!

[19Kid84]

I saw Grandstaff at the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in May. It was awesome. They had Jimmy Fortune on the show with them and then after the show Wil and Langdon came out and signed autographs. They sure look and sound like their Fathers'. This sure is a great tribute song.

[Hollygirlwwe]

Great Song guys! Wil, you look like your dad!!! My grandma and aunt in Cincy went to fan fair in 1986 {I think} and saw the Statler brothers and they loved them! You guys are amazing as a duo. I also went to Staunton to see them and we just missed Phil! Keep the good work going!

[joe7myers]

Good song about the Best country music ever had as a group... Will forever miss them on stage....

[CurtLechner]

You guys sound great. Very nice song!

[crckbj]

This Is an excellent Song and Video...Your Fathers have to be proud of these Guys ...They sound just like their fathers and sing excellent Love these Guys CD circles

[myfamilynme]

Thanks for this post! I'd never heard of these guys, but I'll definitely be looking for their music. Great tribute to The Statler Brothers!

[MegaThatgirl]

great tribute to the statler brothers love it

[1947tec]

The apple never fall far from the tree. I have about 30 of the Satler Bro CD, Cassett Tapes, & even Vinyl 33 1/3.... have been to many concets in Dayton, Oh. I even took my Japanese boss to a concert for him to experience Real American Country at it's best. Raised 4 children on the Statlers and concerts. look forward to more from Grandstaff keep up the music.

[yellrecords]

It's at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, OH. The overhead crowd shot at 0:40 is at the Happy Birthday USA concert in Staunton, VA. Thank you for your interest, Doug

[lrleslie]

Great song about a great group!

[Weitzelford81]

I think this one of the best songs that the sons could have made. I may only be 27 but my dad taught me all about the older country singers and The Statlers are one of my favorite groups, Way to go guys.

[wilmaohman]

Those 2 along with Dailey and Vincent would make a great quartet.

[grrandy]

Wow! What an awesome idea! I love the Dailey & Vincent CD from Cracker Barrel! All Statler songs!

[jdsings4U]

Hometown boys! I see both of them around Staunton occassionally and they're both down to earth and friendly as well as talented.

[Nooch41]

Grandstaff was the opening act for a George Jones concert I saw last Friday in Pennsylvania. Not only do these two, Wil and Langdon, have alot of musical talent , they are also hilarious. And the way Wil sings Conway Twitty's song "Lay Me Down" is incredible. I didn't know the a voice could go that low!

[joycylu]

will is harolds son, I didnt expect anything less, thought he is GREAT, just like his dad,

[daylanrayne]

LOL, not hard to see the resemblance huh? Has his father's eyes and vocal talent too. The music matches Harold's also .. is that Liz Taylor, oh never it wouldn't surprise me.

[yellrecords]

yes, "Oh Elizabeth" was written by Jimmy Fortune for Ms. Taylor. The guys took the picture with her while giving her on the set of a moving she was doing. Check out The Statler Bros. Random Memories by Harold and Don Reid for the full story behind the picture.

[yellrecords]

Yes, the guys took a picture with Elizabeth Taylor on the set of a movie she was filming. Their song "Oh Elizabeth" was a tribute to the iconic movie star.

[FirefighterEmily]

What an awesome video!

[AlsGal52]

I always loved the Statler Brothers' music and these guys are keeping the style of sound of them beautifully...thanks!

[legallyme2]

Love it . . . brings back so many memories!

[shinnymissjenny]

[candellady66]

this is awonderfull way to express the love thease men have fore there dads. you are very talented and have alot to be proud of. your dads passed on there grat voices on to you. keep up the good work.

[RegionalGirl137]

I just bought the CD a week ago--If you don't have it, go get it! The rest of it is just as good as this one! A must have for your collection! Wonderful material!

[7cherryapple7]

good harmony with a sound of their own--younger voices i guess.

[crockertt]

They say it all in this song. The Statlers were and still are the best. The line "country music will never be the same" is sooooo true. I have loved the Statlers for many years and they will always be number one to me. This is a great song. Thanks for posting it. Keep up the good work Grandstaff and carry your dads music on.

[lpodruchny]

Man, I love these guys, they are sooooooo awsome. I was a Statler fan as a preteen and teen when it wasn't cool and got teased a lot but I didn't care. I have always loved the Statlers and I love these guys too!! Keep up the good work!!

[joycylu]

whoever teased you --were jerks, just dont get any better then the Statlers

[MarcusH118]

Such a great song about a great group. This brings back such good memories of times past. I grew up on the Statler's music and love to hear all the old songs that they recorded. Keep up the good word and record some more songs.

[kb9kbu]

Great video! I have always liked the Statler Bros. and Grandstaff is a great duet.

The Statler Bros. will be missed, but Grandstaff is good too.

Good luck guys, It'll be hard filling your dads shoes but you're great too.

[lisa1963rob1963]

what an awesome piece of material!

[seemstobedarkness]

awesome

[joycylu]

thats the word,

[cmkahle]

Obviously a little Statler Back-up singing in there?? Harold at least . . .

Love it. Great song and great group that I had no idea existed! I LOVE the Statlers and grew up listening to them -- esp. at Christmas -- even this song takes me back but I uploaded a BUNCH of Statler on iTunes as well.

[elfgirl3]

@cmkahle There was no Statler backup in this song.. they are incredible in their tribute to their fathers...

[lothbe]

the statler brothers have been my favorite group since i was in middle school i love ther songs and they seem like nice guys jimmy is my favorite one but i love them all

[joycylu]

I love them all and ,always will be my favorites, but I loved Lew he gave them their unique sound; if you guys ever read these -hey love you all ---harold-you know,

[JRB20834]

Congratulations to Wil and Langdon for the great video they put together as a tribute to their Dads and the Statler Brothers group. The two of them as Grandstaff sound great together as well.

[godsangelnixa08]

God bless the Statler Brothers and their families. You guys sure have their voice God be with you.

[GTbooster]

What a marvelous tribute. I listen to the Statler Brothers every day on my iPod while I walk. What a wonderfully talented group of men. My favorite album: Short Stories.

Thanks guys for the memories included in this song. I had never heard it before today, my 62nd birthday.

[wcugirl85]

I love seeing all these pictures & love this song. I wish I could have seen the Statler Brothers in concert before they retired. They are really great singers. Grandstaff sounds just like them. I would like to see this group if they are ever in my area!

[allabouthemusic]

A fitting tribute to the Statlers. It is a shame there is no room in country music for acts like the Statlers any more. They truly were one of the greatest.

[joycylu]

not one of the greatest= THEgreatest-groups in country music-have to say I love Harold he made the group even better-with his nonsense, #1 always to me-

[deidralibby]

Great video and song!!!  The Statlers are one of the best groups. I love them. I Miss them. I saw them on their Farwell Tour in Columbus, Ohio. Grandstaff are great too!!!

[DeannaSimms]

Absolutely wonderful! Brings back sooo many memories!! First time I seen the Statlers was 1977 - I was 8 years old. Last time I seen them was 2002 at their last concert in VA - that was my 50th! Miss them!! BUT - LOVE GRANDSTAFF! ! Wonderful entertainers and wonderful men! GOD BLESS WIL AND LANGDON!

[DarinErstad17]

fresh group, and yet still has that statler feel...what a great song

[corgistarr]

Beauty.

[lakewales05]

I love this song. It is such a fitting dedication to a group of great men
