Absolutely love this song just always loved the harmony between all of them and the band is amazing especially the pianist this song always lifts me up when I’m feeling a little down it’s just simply beautiful
gindy williams, you are so right! I got to see the Oakridge boys live in concert, and shook hands with Williiam Lee Golden. My mother never paid Oakridge boys are/were a GREAT band, and they ALL had lots of talents, and they sang so well together. Claudia H.
It hits me like a ton of bricks when I come to realize I lived through these days. Im 59 now and it seems as time stood STILL when I clicked on to hear THIS timeless song....thank you Oak Ridge Boys and may Joe RIP 🥲✌️
63, I remember when that album came out and covered the Record Stores. There were so many hits on it and the Records and hits just kept coming. I drank and partied hard then. I didn't know they were such God Fearin and good Christians.
@@NorbertoFontanez LOL. I jumped right out of high school straight into college so yep. No time for partying. I was the first one on my side of the family to attend college. It was decades later before I found out I liked alcohol. Once I shook that monkey off my back I haven't looked back 💕
This live version is absolutely amazing. The string section from the record is not there, yet it's not missed, due to the great musicianship, and amazing vocals. I grew up with this and it stands up so well and could be a hit today.
This is pure talent! I miss this kind of music!! No computer for vocal correction! Just good vocals! Like the Eagles and Crosby stills and Nash, Fleetwood Mac!!!
I'm with you on that comment my friend 👋!!!! I love these guys, that harmony is out of sight!!!!! Wish that I could see them one time in concert!!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok?!!!!! Much love from Bunn NC 💖👋. Be blessed and safe 🙏.
@@arethawhite3712 I've been a fanatic fan of the Oaks since Ya'll Come Back Saloon. I have attended 5 Oaks concerts, 3 of which were their Christmas concerts. They always give 1,000%, and the Christmas concerts are beautiful
One of the Oak Ridge Boys' best tunes--I really miss going to see them perform live. I was also very sad, when I heard about Skip (their guitar player) passing away, so soon after Don Breland ( the bass player) passed away.😢
Such a classic song, everything is so blended to perfection. Nothing today doesn't even compare to this. I'm so fortunate that I grew up on this music.
This song is another reason Im glad my Mother had the country music station on constantly some years ago! Ohh what memories a song can bring back from time to time.
I have seen these WONDERFUL men LIVE many times back in the late 70's and early 80's...in fact I was (my claim to fame) IN THE SAME ELEVATOR with Dwayne once lol I was like HOLY SHIT! He was super POLITE!
Oh my God this is a truly beautiful song, this song really says it all. About a man losing his wife, and waiting to be with her again in heaven. This song always makes me cry, this song reminds me so much of my mom and dad, and the life they made together. My mom married at 16, and my dad was 22. They have been married 53 yes. Mom dad I love both of you so much, and I'm honored to be your Son thank you both for loving me so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
the oaks were very bless to willie wynn , and joe bonsell as tbeir tenors great group of guys all way around truly bless. saw them alot when they to Huntsville,Alabama from about1968 to about 1992.
I've just recently come across this Song..first time hearing the lyrics. I wanted to hear a deep bass voice. 💩 Fine tuning...👂 Fellas!!! That's a Great sunny song. 😇 my appreciating thoughts to you.
I don't understand why the comments are turned off on the videos by the Oak Ridge Boys, but either way. I'm 44 years old and can remember it was a toss up over the Oak Ridge Boys and Statler Brothers that was my grandmothers favorite band. Friday evenings when hee haw was on, or if her radio was on. Everything would stop when either one of these bands were playing. She passed away in 2015, and everytime I hear one of the ORBs or Stats songs I'm reminded of this. Both of these bands are timeless.
@@kevinmiller6324 I was thinking of their 1990 cover of the Righteous Brothers hit "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," but he only did the spoken part at the end.

Okay, so obviously this song is made for a bass lead, but Richard had such a beautiful voice, and he was clearly enjoying himself with this one. Why wasn't he given the lead on other singles?
@@mikeryan9096 Yeah, I love that song the famous " Elvira" one of my favorite songs by the Oak Ridge Boys!!!!! I have the same CD with that on it. Awesome harmony, and the guy with that popular bass voice, I love!!!! They lost a member of the group this year 😢, he was 77 years old. God bless his soul 👼 RIP.

@@arethawhite3712 Which member of the Oak Ridge Boys passed away?? I know 2 guys in the band died--Skip, the guitar player, and Don Breland, the bass player. I think you're confusing the ORB with the Statler Brothers--they lost a member of their group this year, Harold Reid.
@@Johnny747CB Richard and JD both sang with Elvis as part of the Stamps Quartet back in the 60s. Richard once spent twenty minutes giving an interview talking about his time with Elvis.
@@kevinmiller6324 I seen that interview and you are absolutely correct about Richard beginning his career with Elvis.You know Richard is from New Jersey as was Eddy Rabbit.im not a jersey fan at all but these two were awesome.i honestly believe JD could get lower on the bass than Richard but Richard had a better voice as a pure singer .Both were awesome,it's difficult to compare greatness! Enjoy your evening and God bless you.
I do dream on about the paradise on earth that God Jehovah is going to make one day his kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven and that’s what I dream about🥰🌅🦋💕
Nice song by the Oak Ridge Boys ! Listen to Luca Stangl on UA-cam He's twelve years old from Austria and sings and plays the accordion ! Check out his UA-cam channel Luca Stangl .
One if my favorite songs by the Oaks. But damn ........ how fucked up is William Lee.. ....is like moving in slow motion compared 2 the others........sleepy eyed lookin' William Lee......gotta love the 70's
its a session or back up singer that was there vfor william lee golden because william lee golden might of been sick or something else he had that back up or session singer do his part
Wonderful, the bass voice is out of this world.

Back when country music was truly country music. Music these days sounds horrid, screaming like a rock n roll song
This is pure talent! I miss this kind of music!! No computer for vocal correction! Just good vocals! Like the Eagles and Crosby stills and Nash, Fleetwood Mac!!!
2019 and they are one of the very few groups who are still together and sound good together and whose voices haven’t changed!

Love you Richard this song makes me melt
One of my all time favorites!
Greatest group and dream on song. Great job Richard!!!!!!

O. R. B. is still touring to this day, despite being in their late 70's to early 80's. They sound just as good as they did when they were younger.
Absolutely love Richard Sterben in this song. He’s great. Why wasn’t he used in this way more often? His voice is like velvet! Love him!

WILL REMEMBER JOE BONSALL FOREVER AND A DAY R.I.P
As we see country legends like Joe pass I can't help but thing of George Jones' 'Whose going to fill their shoes'.
This song is another reason Im glad my Mother had the country music station on constantly some years ago! Ohh what memories a song can bring back from time to time.
Miss you Mama
Never heard this song before.
What a beautiful song and with Richard Sterban's voice, I'm just going to Dream On! 💖💖💖
Thank you, Rich! I still smile......
Amazing singers. The Most Unforgettable Performance by the Most Beloved Oak Ridge Boys.❤
Fantastic Singing, ORB- Joe, Duane, William and Richard.
How can anyone’s voice be that deep!
He’s a tenor compared to George younce or Aaron Mcune..honestly this is embarrassing for a bass singer
@@JimLewis-f1z He don't care. Look how much fun he's having. He's having a blast out there singing. That's what its all about.

Loved them from day 1
Rest in peace

Haven't heard this song in years. My dad used to play this for me when I was a little girl back when times were better
This song literally saved my life. It helped me realize my life had just started.
This is my favorite one of their songs. RIP JOE

Wow what a deep voice
One of the best songs by ORB
Richard Sterban just turned 79 years old. 🥂🍾
This song was originally done by the Righteous Brothers. Love The Oaks version. Garland playing the keys is cool. Great song.
I sang this song to my 38 old daughter Amanda in 1983 and 1984 GREAT MEMORY :)
Oh my, I am sorry for all you "nice people" that read my comment and did not hit like? Ok Merry Christmas!
Awesome song

Very interesting - it's a little unusual to see this much movement from Richard during his performances. He was really into this one!
Yeah I’ve seen them live. He gets more animated when he gets to take a lead. Being on tv helped here too I’m Sure
So love!
The Righteous Brothers also sang this song. Very popular on pop music stations. Love both versions

I saw them back at what was then TCJC. I met them all especially Joe. He was a cool guy.
Richard Sterban does a good job, for singing lead.
