I have always loved the Oakridge Boys, and always will. Congratulations to them for becoming members as The Grand Ole Opry, great homor!! God bless them too❤❤❤❤
I have been a fan forever, well since the 1970's . This is so awesome. I used to go to the early 1980 concerts to see Garland play the Piano. What a showman he was. Congats Oak Ridge Boys. In my world the boys never left!!
I am astounded that it took until 2011 for the Oak Ridge Boys to be officially members of the Grand Ole Opry. I would have thought the group would have been accepted way back in the 1960s while they were still predominantly a religious group and hadn't hit the pop/country charts.
My all time favorite group. I could listen to them all day long. I met Richard in 2003 or so in a boot store in Nashville. Very nice, kind, humble man with the best bass voice in the business.
I too could only listen as I am in Sydney Australia!! I am not ashamed to say that zi cried all the way thru the Induction Sspeeches!! Way To Go, Joe, Duane, William Lee & Richard. U guys Rock!!
A. few. years ago. me. and. my. husband. was. up. in. Branson. Missouri. and. we. went. to. see. The. Oak. Ridge. Boys. and. they. was. as. good. then. as. they. was. years. ago
Congratulations to the Oak Ridge Boys. It is about time. There is another Group out there that retired from the business about ten years ago that I think is back to performing Thanks to Brad Paisley. That should also be Members That groups name is Alabama.
Congrat's for the MIGHTY OAK RIDGE BOYS . I have LOVED them since I first heard them back in the early to mid 70's. They have and always will be the GREATEST. TY very much for posting this video.
It's funny... it's almost easy to get agitated when the young child starts making noise as Joe begins to speak... It's like, the Opry is a grown-ups event, and here's a yungin' that's belly achin' when the most important words of the night are to be spoken. Then, when you hear Duane tell that his wife was at the Opry as a 6 month old baby, and now she's a backup singer for the Opry... you gotta wonder... who could that little belly achin' child be in the future? Backup singer for the Opry? Another king/queen of Country Music? Time will tell. But so cool that the child was there to witness our Boys being inducted into the Opry!
To me, this act should've been made a part of the Opry when my favorite member was still in the picture, I love the late beautiful precious Steve Sanders so much! (forever wishing that I had discovered him sooner) God bless you and his family always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
Thank you VERY much for posting this video! I was hoping someone would! Now I can share the moment with the BOYS..Congratulations again to MY all time favorite bunch of singers and the Mighty Oaks Band, who are a big part of this too!
In the early 90s they left MCA records, and signed with RCA, then the guy that signed them left RCA, and his replacement told the OAKs that he did not want to promote Oak Ridge concerts, he wanted to push and promote Alabama, now both are outstanding groups, didn't RCA have enough room for both these big outfits. Shame on RCA, don't know what went wrong with wrong or why they left MCA, but every project with MCA was a hit. Even after Golden Left for several years, they still had hits with MCA.
I have to admit that back then I hated Alabama for taking away awards that should have gone to the Boys and yea I also agree they should never had left MCA.
DRS Minions yea the video qualities is not good at all. but not the sound you cant make the oak ridge boys sound bad. I saw them live last year and they were amazing know one can pout a show on like they can. Iv only seen them once hope to see them again soon.
+Goldslime17 +Jennifer Dolan the oaks are true legends... that is a fact it can be proven they are legends... "skrillex or EDM"is good,is a opinion... it ok to have a different opinion but some thing you should keep to your self... if he would not like that said about him then he should not say it people like him have no idea what talent is...
Iove the grand ole Opry and I love the oak ridge boys and their songs god bless
Love the oak ridge boys, they are my favorite group ❤

I have been wanting for a video of this I begged my dad so bad if I could go but the answer was no :) :(
I too wish Dewey would come back his solos are missed by everyone
3:10 I wish the sax player could have been here, Is he still with them? Bobbie Sue sounds awesome with the saxophone solo
GIT-R-DONE ORB!!!
Hey guys PLEASE talk to Dewey to get him to come back he is missed by alot of people
They were inducted in 1973.
In the early 90s they left MCA records, and signed with RCA, then the guy that signed them left RCA, and his replacement told the OAKs that he did not want to promote Oak Ridge concerts, he wanted to push and promote Alabama, now both are outstanding groups, didn't RCA have enough room for both these big outfits.

I have to admit that back then I hated Alabama for taking away awards that should have gone to the Boys and yea I also agree they should never had left MCA.
Osks could've easily done Song of the South, Roll On, or even High Cotton.

No the ORB SUCK IN GENRAL. If you wanna see something good go look at a skrillex show or a EDM festival like ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL.
