Phil Balsley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phillip Elwood Balsley (born August 8, 1939 in Staunton, Virginia) sings baritone for the presently-retired country quartet The Statler Brothers. Due to his quiet presence on stage and humble appearance, he is known as "The Quiet One" of the Statler Brothers.
Due to his past experience as a book keeper at his fathers' sheet metal business (before the Statler Brothers were professional entertainers), Phil has been given credit for overseeing a large part of the Statler Brothers' business organization.
Although he seldom participated in any of the song writing activities of the Statler Brothers, Phil's versatile baritone vocals played a major role in the quality of the Statler Brothers' harmony.
Phil is currently retired and resides in Staunton, Virginia with his wife Wilma.
