The Statler Brothers (sometimes simply referred to The Statlers) were an American country music, Gospel, and vocal group.
The quartet was formed in 1955 performing locally and, in 1964, they began singing backup for Johnny Cash, until 1972.
Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none has the surname of Statler.
The band, in fact, named themselves after a brand of facial tissue they had noticed in a hotel room (they joked that they could have turned out to be the
Kleenex Brothers).
Most notable group members were: Don Reed, lead, Harold Reed, bass, Phil Balsley, baritone, and Lew Dewitt, Tenor.
Jimmy Fortune, replaced Dewitt in 1983 after Dewitt\'s ill health.\\xa0 Dewitt continued a solo career until his death in 1990 after suffering from heart and
kidney disease, .

containing only gospel music and recorded a tribute song to the Blackwood Brothers. who influenced their music
The Statler Brothers also wrote a tribute song to Johnny Cash who discovered them.\\xa0 The song was called "We Got Paid by Cash", and it reminisces about
their time with Cash.
