    Richard Sterban - the well-dressed one in the suit and tie - is the bass, and is one of the most recognized bass singers in country. Before he joined the Oaks, he was part of the Stamps Quartet who sang backups for a guy called Elvis Presley.
    For Jordan's passion, Richard was also one of the original investors of the Nashville Sounds, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

      I think I may have met your stepmom. There was this bar I used to roll into on my Harley when I was in the Navy, and there was this one woman that every time she heard this song she went to long lengths to make sure everybody in the bar knew that she just hated this song. She was a trip. A lot of us waited till she was drunk and made sure that we put the song on just to get to her, it was hilarious to hear her scream from the other side of the bar and get so upset.

    • @donferoce5652

    This group The Oak Ridge Boys and another group The Statler Brothers were big mainstream Gospel groups for decades before moving to secular country music in the 1970s! Both groups were known for their awesome harmonies and have many more songs for you to explore!!
    In the future with either group the music video and live versions are what you want to react to as they are entertainers as well as awesome singers!

    This brings up bittersweet memories for me. My dad would take me and my sisters to get pizza and the restaurant had a juke box. He would let us play some songs but we always played this for him. Thought it was his favorite. Years later he said it's a good song, not his favorite but he never sad anything because he was proud his 6-10 year old daughters weren't selfish and thought of him too. He passed in 2019, song still makes me tear up.

      I feel the same. Went to a baseball game Atlanta Braves, special day with my Dad. Between innings they played this song and Dad started dancing acting a fool. I was horrified before turning around and seeing the whole second deck dancing and acting a fool. It was a moment to remember with Dad who passed in 2010.

This song was a monster hit indeed!!! By the way, the guy singing with the deep voice is not the guy with the white beard.

    This was a HUGE hit for the Oak Ridge Boys back in the day. It’s just catchy. It was played all the time on the radio and everyone would sing “Giddyup, a oom poppa oom poppa mow mow” and just smile. Glad you found this fun little song.
    Also the bass singer is the most clean cut of the crew.

    Everyone loves “Elvira.” The deep base is the young guy, not beardo! There was a sitcom, “Mike And Molly” and Mike had a tape stuck in the cassette player of his car. Of course it was the Oak Ridge Boys. In a hilarious scene all the men of the show were in the garage working on the car and singing “Elvira!” You should check out the show sometime. Another great country tune from the same era is Brookes & Dunn, “My Maria,” a favorite of my late wife.

    Actually, the guy second from the right is the bass. The guy with the big ZZ Topp beard is the baritone. It's not always the biggest guy that does the bass. Look at Pentatonix. The biggest guy is Scott, the blonde, who's their baritone. The original bass, Avi, and their replacement bass, Matt, both are shorter and leaner than Scott.

    Back in the days when the Billboard Top 40 included different genres of music, a track like "Elvira" which was a huge #1 country record could cross-over to the Pop chart and do well. "Elvira peaked @ #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981 and won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Group.

      A great pick for Female Friday is one of the first and biggest crossover hits of the late seventies "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" by Crystal Gayle. A month at number one on the Country chart, three weeks at number two on the Pop chart, only kept from number one by the second-most overplayed song of the Seventies, "You light up my life" by Debbie Boone. (Most overplayed was "Love will keep us together" by The Captain and Tennile.)

"Elvira" was my song in our family. No one else cared much for the Oak Ridge Boys. I liked almost all their music.

    This song was incredibly popular when it came out. Back in those days I worked as a DJ at a small market country station here in Southwest Michigan and we would frequently play requests. By far, this was our most requested song. Our Program Director had to limit how often we could play it. We could have put it on a constant loop and it wouldn't be good enough for some people.

    In that photo Jay was referring to, the members are, left to right, Duane Allen lead, Joe Bonsall tenor, Richard Sturben bass and William Lee Golden baritone. The band actually started as the Oak Ridge Quartet, a gospel group in the 1940s, from my hometown of Oak Ridge Tennessee. In the 1970s, once the current line up was in place, they switched to country with the album Yall Come Back Saloon. They actually fired William at one point because he refused to shave his hair and beard, but the backlash from fans was so great that they fired his replacement and got William back.

    After their GREAT concert, we (spouses/dates of the execs) were getting some drinks in the back of the room while the execs had a "meeting." The Oak Ridge Boys ended up joining us . . . and they were the NICEST guys!! All of them were down-to-earth.
