    This group sang southern gospel music until the 1970s. Then they moved to mostly country with a little gospel. They are in their 70s and 80s now. At 86, William Lee Golden, the man with the long beard still sings with his sons and grand daughter. I saw them in a concert about a month ago.

    the Oak Ridge Boys have been around since the 1940s but the membership has changed a bit over the years. They were a Gospel quartet until the mid-70s when the current membership took them into Country genre. They still produce the occasional gospel tune. But yeah, they've been around in one form or another for over 80 years.

    OK, Britt, you really have to review the Home Free/Oak Ridge Boys version of this song! That's right... both bands were doing the song a capella together. The Oak Ridge Boys can still sing, and Austin Brown was really being a fanboy! Then there is the battle of the basses! The harmony, etc! It's an awesome version of this song! BTW, my MIL's name was Elvira, and she was from the midwest (a farm girl) and she claimed this song was written about her!

    I agree that you have to watch The Statler Brothers as "the" country quartet of the 60s until they broke up decades later. Harold is the bass and comic relief in the Statler Brothers. They weren't PDC, but dang they put on a show. Finding live versions with good sound is tough, but the live concert from 2003 is available in song by song clips. That may have been their farewell show. Class of '57 is a classic, and you can put any year and there and the story remains the same. (Oh, and they got their start working with Johnny Cash and did a song "We Got Paid in Cash".

    The "Oakl Ridge Boys" started in 1943 as the Oak Ridge Quartet, as a gospel group. This lineup was put together in the early 1970's, and moved to country, but still performed and recorded a lot of gospel through the years. Golden, the bearded one, lived off the grid, and when the group wasn't recording or touring, was living in rhe mountains, and not in communication with anyone. He left the group for several years in the '80's and '90's.

    A couple more songs by The Oak Ridge Boys that I think you would like are: "American Made," and "Bobbie Sue."

    Fun one, Britt! The Statler Brothers and The Oakridge Boys were two super big country quartets back in the day. They were both really good. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
