The Platters would be so honored...great version of all.. These guys can sing anything and loved every minute of it!!! The very best group ever...❤ 4:17
With the early passing of Lew Dewitt and recently of the unrivalled bass singer Harold Reid we will never see the likes of a group such as the Statler Brothers. RIP Lew and Harold! Thanks for the wonderfully harmonised singing. We shall never forget you
Many a great group of singers have graced stages around the world before multitudes of fans. Without question, two of those great groups were The Statler Brothers and The Platters. Thank you, from an appreciative fan!
The unrivaled Statler Brothers. Always in unbelivable harmonies. Those were the times. RIP Harold Reid and Lew DeWitt. Thank you for the great music you left. / CD
Love the Statler Brother's!!!!! Next the Oak Ridge Boys...The two groups brought a lot of cheerful music that never get tired of listening to!!May the Great Men that have left us and went to Heaven!! Their Music will never be for gotten!!!!! Lives on For ever!!!!
Jimmy Fortune completely nailed the ending! Tony Williams and the Platters would have been so proud of this performance. Jimmy doing the Texas hook em horns symbol was fantastic...and I am not from Texas even! I miss this group so much...and RIP Lew and Harold!
Thank you. No other country singers knew just how treasured old memories are to little old ladies like me. When you reach your eighties it's pretty much All you have left . Thanks so much for realizing that.
Love the Statler Brothers. Saw them twice in concert. The Oak Ridge Boys are great, that relatively new group Home Free is very good, but the Statler Brothers are the best. I saw them when Lew was still with them. Words cannot describe what it was like to hear them in person.
They were my mothers favorite group quite a few years ago . I have just found this on my phone - After listening to this today I have to agree with her ! They are terrific!
I like how after the song seemed to be done, they let Jimmy turn it into something to show off on. Don was like: "If it'll get a good audience reaction, then go for it."
This could be easily modified to be a Christian song -- the feeling of the lost person, the religious lost member of a Church, pretending that God's still around in his actions. Or pretending that good works are found!
About a month ago we saw Jimmie and Harold and Don's sons, Will and Langdon a.k.a "Wilson Fairchild" in a concert. The three of them did several Statler's songs. Jimmie is still a great performer and Will and Langdon are filling their father's shoes very well!!!!

The Platters would be so honored...great version of all.. These guys can sing anything and loved every minute of it!!! The very best group ever...❤ 4:17
I absolutely love the Statler Brothers rendition of this song ...... unmatched ever!
The Statler Brothers were the best
You will be missed Harold Reid

Back when I was 17 and in high school I played the Statlers music over and over. I loved them then and still do. They are awesome ❤️❤️🙏🙏😊
The Statler Brothers were fantastic! No group can come close to them. R.I
P. Lew, & Harold
Jimmy Fortune completely nailed the ending! Tony Williams and the Platters would have been so proud of this performance. Jimmy doing the Texas hook em horns symbol was fantastic...and I am not from Texas even! I miss this group so much...and RIP Lew and Harold!
It’s sign language for “I love you.”
@@Barbara-pe2jf Thanks. I did not know that!
I heard them for the first time when I was 14 & bought all their albums, Harold was an amazing bass , they are and were really Country music ❤❤🥰
Agreed.😊
Jimmy fortune sings from his heart. I love him. Wish they were all still here singing
Jimmy totally rocked it. The late Tony Williams and his Platters would be so proud of the Statlers!
Try watching some Brothers of the Heart videos.
Thank you. No other country singers knew just how treasured old memories are to little old ladies like me. When you reach your eighties it's pretty much All you have left . Thanks so much for realizing that.
Love jimmy fortune
I’ve never heard the Statlers sing this song. I grew up listening to my mothers old records of the Platters and always loved this song.
Wow never heard the Statlers cover this song before. They do it well. Jimmy really knocks it out of the park. 🥰
Most underrated group in country music, everything they did was spectacular!! We will NEVER see the likes of the Statlers again
Jimmy was always a great replacement for the wonderful Lew DeWitt. RIP Lew and Harold.
The Statlers sing this better than anyone. Then Jimmy steps up and blows it away!
Pure gold. ❤
Have a signed picture of them from years ago from Elkhorn wi. Fair years ago.
The Handsome Hound says, "I agree with Camelia! I never get tired of listening to The Statler Brothers!".
Real class: Unmatched harmonies. Beautiful tempos. A legendary group.
This song and video should make you smile on even the darkest of days.
Big fan. Never heard them do this one. First class as usual. A great great group.
This was at their final or retirement concert. So sad.
Love the Statler brothers really going to miss them they will always be in my heart and thoughts Miss them there sound no one can replace 😢😢
Equal to the Platters. Love both. Jimmy knocks it out of the park. 🥰
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. The Statlers can sing anything 👍👏💜

Jimmy fortune doesn't get enough credit for his singing somebody needs to help him
They have retired now but they do perform on special occasions...THEy.
Are SPECIAL. BLESSINGS. !!
Do they have a new bass singer?
They do not perform anymore.
Only Jimmy still tours. However, check out Wilson Fairchild.
Country music's original boy band in fine form.
Correction. They were men! No mistaking them for the freakshows we have endured for years. Entertainers par excellence!
Magnifiques 👌❤️🎤🎶💪😁👌💃👏👏👏👏👏
Love jimmy Fortune great ......michigan

Jimmy's older now than than Harold and Phil (and, of course, Don) were here.
Good stuff!

Where are the brothers now? Are they still singing?
No..but jimmy does 💗💗🔥
They retired in 2002. Jimmy has a solo career now. As a matter of fact, this is a clip from their final concert.
