The Statler Brothers (sometimes simply referred to as The Statlers) were an American country music, gospel, and vocal group. The quartet was formed in 1955 performing locally and, from 1964 to 1972, they sang as opening act and backup singers for Johnny Cash.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later in 1963 as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) were actual brothers and no member has the surname of Statler.
Don Reid sang lead; Harold Reid, Don's older brother, sang bass; Phil Balsley sang baritone; and Lew DeWitt sang tenor and was the guitarist of the Statlers before being replaced by Jimmy Fortune in 1983 due to DeWitt's ill health.
The group disbanded and retired after completing a farewell tour on October 26, 2002.

I'm pretty sure Duane Allen has a beard.

[@monerz1]

Harold was the first in the group to grow a beard.

Don was the first to grow a beard, then Lew.
