The Statler Brothers discography

The discography of The Statler Brothers, an American country music group, consists of 38 albums and 69 singles. The group debuted in 1965 with "Flowers on the Wall," a number 2 country and number 4 pop hit. Although they never made top 40 on the pop charts again, The Statler Brothers continued to chart on Hot Country Songs until 1990, reaching number one with "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine" in 1978, "Elizabeth" in 1984, and "My Only Love" and "Too Much on My Heart," both in 1985.

Notes
1.^ "Green Grass" was quickly withdrawn at the request of the song's publisher to make way for Gary Lewis' recording.[22][23] The single was reissued with the same catalog number (Columbia 4-43624), but with "The Right One" replacing the song in question.
2.^ Members of the Western Writers of America chose 1974's "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott" as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[24]
