From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald Sidney. ("Don") Reid (born June 5, 1945 in Staunton, Virginia) is lead singer and main songwriter of the legendary American country music vocal group, The Statler Brothers.

In the early 1960s, Reid replaced Joe McDorman at lead vocals as the quartet that would go on to become the Statler Brothers changed their name from the Four Star Quartet to the Kingsmen. Don's older brother Harold, Lew DeWitt, and McDorman formed the group in 1955 in Staunton while still school age.

Reid has authored or co-authored three books since the group retirement in 2002 - Heroes and Outlaws of the Bible, Sunday Morning Memories, and You'll Know It's Christman When.... He is an elder in his local Presbyterian church.
