The Oak Ridge Boys is an American state and gospel vocal quartet. The group was founded in the 1940s as the Oak Ridge Quartet. They became popular in Southern gospel during the 1950s. Their proper name was changed to the Oak Ridge Boys in the early 1960s, and they remained a gospel group until the mid-1970s, when they changed their epitome and full-bodied on country music.[ane] [ii]
The lineup that produced their near well-known land and crossover hits (such as "Elvira" (1981), "Bobbie Sue" (1982), and "American Made" (1983) consists of Duane Allen (lead), Joe Bonsall (tenor), William Lee Gilded (baritone), and Richard Sterban (bass). Golden and Allen joined the grouping in the mid-1960s, and Sterban and Bonsall joined in the early 1970s. Bated from an eight-twelvemonth gap (1987–95) when Golden left the grouping and was replaced, this lineup has been together since 1973 and continues to tour and tape.
History [edit]
The Oak Ridge Quartet [edit]
The core group that would eventually lead to the Oak Ridge Boys was a country group called Wally Fowler and the Georgia Clodhoppers, formed in 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee. They were requested to perform for staff members and their families restricted during World War 2 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in nearby Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They were asked to sing at that place and so oftentimes that, eventually, they changed their name to the Oak Ridge Quartet, and considering their most popular songs were gospel, Fowler decided to focus solely on Southern gospel music. At the fourth dimension, the quartet was made up of Wally Fowler, Lon "Deacon" Freeman, Curly Kinsey, and Johnny New. This group began recording in 1947.[3] Wally Fowler and the Oak Ridge Quartet were members of the Thou Ole Opry in the 1940s.[4] In 1949, the other iii men split from Fowler to form a new group, Curley Kinsey and the Tennessee Ridge Runners, so Fowler hired an existing group, the Calvary Quartet, to reform the Oak Ridge Quartet. Walt Cornell sang baritone for the Oak Ridge Quartet in the early 1950s. In 1957, Fowler sold the rights to the "Oak Ridge Quartet" name to group member Smitty Gatlin in substitution for forgiveness of a debt. As a result of more than personnel changes, the grouping lost its tenor, so they lowered their arrangements and had Gatlin sing tenor, while the pianist, Tommy Fairchild, sang lead. They recorded an album for Cadence Records, and then in 1958, they hired Willie Wynn to sing the tenor role, and Fairchild moved dorsum exclusively to the piano. At this point, the group consisted of Fairchild at the pianoforte, Wynn, Gatlin (singing lead), baritone Ron Page, and bass Herman Harper. They recorded an album on the Checker Records label, i on Starday, and iii on Skylite. In 1961, Gatlin inverse the group's name to "the Oak Ridge Boys" considering their producer, Bud Praeger, idea "Oak Ridge Quartet" sounded too old-fashioned for their gimmicky sound.
1962–1973 [edit]
In 1962, Ron Page left, and the grouping hired Gary McSpadden (who had filled in for Jake Hess in the Statesmen Quartet) as baritone with the understanding from Jake Hess that when he was set to get-go a grouping, he would recruit McSpadden. They recorded another anthology on Skylite, then two groundbreaking albums on Warner Bros. Records. When Hess followed through on that promise, McSpadden quit to bring together a new grouping Hess was forming, the Imperials. Jim Hammill[v] (who later became a mainstay in the Kingsmen Quartet) was chosen to be his replacement. They fabricated i anthology for Festival Records, ane for Stateswood (Skylite'due south budget characterization), and two more for Skylite. Hammill did not get forth with the rest of the group, and William Lee Golden, a newcomer to the music industry, felt that Hamill was pain the group and asked the group if he could be Hammil'due south replacement. Afterward Hamill'south retirement from the group in 1964, Gilded joined as baritone.
The grouping recorded some other album for Starday and another on Skylite in 1965. In 1966, Gatlin left the group to get a minister of music, and on Golden'southward recommendation, Duane Allen, formerly of the Southernairs Quartet (and more recently baritone of the Prophets Quartet), was hired to supervene upon him. With Willie Wynn still singing tenor and Herman Harper every bit bass, the group made another album for Skylite and ane for United Artists, and so began recording on the Heart Warming label. Betwixt 1966 and 1973, they made 12 albums with Middle Warming, and the company also released several compilation albums on which they were included during those years. The group likewise had an album on Vista (Eye Warming's budget label) that included unreleased songs from previous sessions. Harper left the group in 1968 to join the Don Calorie-free Talent Agency, before starting his ain company, the Harper Agency, which remains ane of the nearly reputable booking agencies in gospel music. Noel Fox, formerly of the Tennesseans and the Harvesters, took over the bass role. In 1970, the Oak Ridge Boys earned their first Grammy Award for "Talk About the Good Times".
In belatedly October 1972, Richard Sterban, the bass with J. D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, left that grouping and joined the Oak Ridge Boys. The quartet that appeared on Hee Haw in 1972 consisted of Willie Wynn, Duane Allen, William Lee Gold, and Richard Sterban. Joe Bonsall, a Philadelphia native who was a member of the Keystone Quartet and recording on Duane Allen's Superior label, joined in April 1973. Sterban and Bonsall had both been in the Keystones during the late 1960s, recording much of the ORB's cloth. That same year, the Oak Ridge Boys recorded a single with Johnny Cash and the Carter Family, "Praise the Lord and Pass the Soup", that put them on the country charts for the first fourth dimension. The group'south lineup remained consistent for the next 15 years.
1974–1986 [edit]
In the mid-1970s, the Oak Ridge Boys became involved with prominent country music promoter Jim Halsey, who every bit their new manager, began encouraging them to move from gospel music to broader country music—the most fundamental alter in their history—and began arranging international appearances.[one] [2] [6] [7]
After opening a series of shows for Roy Clark, the group moved in 1973 to the Columbia label, for which they fabricated three albums and several singles. In early 1976, they toured Russia for three weeks with Roy Clark. They went from being one of the top acts on Middle Warming to nearly the bottom on Columbia in terms of promotion. Columbia did non serve the gospel radio stations similar Heart Warming did, leaving the impression that the Oak Ridge Boys were leaving gospel music, which hurt the group's popularity amid its core fan demographic. While promoting the single "Heaven Spring", the Oak Ridge Boys fabricated appearances on The Mike Douglas Bear witness and The Merv Griffin Testify, both nationally syndicated in the United States and Canada. In 1976, despite having been picked by Paul Simon to sing fill-in on "Slip Slidin' Away", the group asked to be released from its contract with Columbia after its single, "Family Reunion", was only a lukewarm success. Columbia complied with the request, and the ring immediately made a live anthology that was a mix of gospel and country on their own label.
In 1977, the Oak Ridge Boys fully switched from gospel to country with the release of their start ABC Records (later absorbed by MCA) anthology, Y'all Come up Back Saloon. Ii songs from that anthology reached the superlative v on the country charts, and their adjacent album, Room Service, in 1978, gave them two more than, including their first number-one hitting, "I'll Exist True to You". The Oak Ridge Boys Take Arrived was released in 1979, and Together followed in 1980. A compilation album simply titled Greatest Hits, containing 10 singles from the previous 4 albums, was released in the autumn of 1980. This same year, the Oak Ridge Boys also made a brief cameo appearance on The Dukes of Hazzard (season two, "Granny Annie").
The group's 6th album, Fancy Gratis, released early in 1981, contained the Dallas Frazier–penned song "Elvira". This remains the group's most widely known vocal, and Fancy Costless is their best-selling album. "Elvira" had been recorded past other artists, including Frazier himself in the late 1960s and the First Edition in 1970, only the Oak Ridge Boys were the showtime to take a hit with it. Their version of the vocal was a number-one country hit, and in July 1981 reached number five on the popular charts.
The doo-wop-style championship rails from Bobbie Sue, their seventh anthology, was some other crossover hitting, reaching number one on the country charts and number 12 on the pop charts. That album also spawned the group's first U.S.-released music video, for the song "So Fine". (A video was made for "Piece of cake", from the Y'All Come Dorsum Saloon anthology, but was never released in the U.S.) The group also recorded The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album in 1982.
Their album American Made was released in Jan 1983. The title rail was used as a TV advertisement for Miller Beer.
The group recorded 3 albums over the next three years. The tardily-1983 anthology Evangelize provided ii number-one singles, i of which, "I Guess Information technology Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes", was written by Randy VanWarmer, who had a hitting in 1979 with "Just When I Needed You Most". Their next album was Greatest Hits 2, released in July 1984. Unlike the 1980 Greatest Hits album, this i included ii new songs, "Everyday" and "Make My Life With You", both number-one land hits. In 1985, they released their 12th album, Step on Out. The title cut was written by ex-Byrd Chris Hillman and former Crawdaddy magazine editor Peter Knobler. The grouping recorded two albums in 1986, one of which was a second Christmas album, and in 1987, they recorded a single called "Take Pride in America", which was used in television public service announcements about recycling.
1987–1999 [edit]
In 1987, Where The Fast Lane Ends was released. It was the first with new producer Jimmy Bowen, and was the group's last album before the 1987 departure of William Lee Golden. Gilt was replaced past the band'south guitarist, Steve Sanders.[8]
The grouping released four more albums for MCA, including a third Greatest Hits anthology that independent a previously unreleased unmarried they had recorded for the Take Pride In America campaign. They moved to RCA Nashville and made iii albums in that location, including All-time of the Oak Ridge Boys, which included a single they had made for the My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys movie soundtrack. The move to RCA did not work out because the person who had signed them there moved to some other label shortly thereafter, and his replacement wanted to promote Alabama more than the Oak Ridge Boys. They switched again and signed with Liberty Records, (Capitol'due south Nashville-based label), for which they made their third Christmas album.[ix]
Baritone Steve Sanders was replaced by Duane Allen'south son, Dee, with occasional help from his blood brother-in-law Paul Martin. (Martin had previously replaced J.P. Pennington equally pb singer of Exile in the early 1990s until that band's disbanding.) At midnight on New year's day's Mean solar day 1996, at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana, Golden returned to the grouping. That twelvemonth, they fabricated a two-disc gospel set, Revival (their offset full gospel anthology since 1976) with Leon Russell producing. This was sold on Television receiver and subsequently past the Oak Ridge Boys themselves at concerts and through the mail. In 1998, Sanders died by suicide.[x]
Over the side by side few years, the group collaborated on an anthology with polka instrumentalist Jimmy Sturr and then made an album for Platinum Records chosen Voices.[11]
2000–present [edit]
Later on nearly a decade of dealing with problems such as labels that had little involvement in promoting The Oak Ridge Boys, studio breakdowns, and sluggish sales, the group's fortunes changed when they signed with Jump Hill Records in 2000. In the beginning 4 years of teaming with Dove Award-winning producer Michael Sykes, the quartet released a full-length gospel album (From The Heart), their fourth Christmas album (Inconvenient Christmas), a patriotic anthology (Colors), a bluegrass anthology (The Journey), and a quasi-compilation, titled Mutual Thread, containing newly recorded versions of older gospel songs, too as material from 2004's The Journey. Another Christmas album, Christmas Cookies, followed in 2005. In 2006, the grouping completed the anthology, Forepart Row Seats, a render to mainstream country music with mod, aggressive arrangements and vocal selection. The project spawned a pocket-sized superlative-40 hitting with "It's Hard to Be Absurd in a Mini-Van".
In June 2007, they returned to their namesake, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They were the featured performers at the Undercover Metropolis Festival and were given a tour of the Y-12 National Security Circuitous'due south historic Calutrons (used to split the uranium 235 for Picayune Boy, the showtime diminutive bomb used in warfare). While at that place, a street was renamed the Oak Ridge Boys Way in their laurels.
Too in 2007, the group appeared on Shooter Jennings' (son of Waylon Jennings) album The Wolf. This pairing led to The Boys Are Back, released on May 19, 2009, and named for the title song written past Shooter Jennings. The projection debuted at number sixteen on the Billboard Top State Albums Chart and number 77 on the Billboard Meridian 200. The album was produced by Dave Cobb, who was introduced to the group past Shooter Jennings.

The album debuted at number xvi on the Billboard Country albums chart, remaining in the country height xl for virtually two months. Information technology contains 12 tracks - five new songs and 7 re-recorded hits from the late 1980s. The first single off the anthology is "What-cha Gonna Exercise". A special 30th-anniversary re-recording of "Elvira" is featured on the album, every bit well.
In 2012, the group released two new studio albums. In May, they made a return to their Southern gospel roots with the release of Back Dwelling Again. Along with gospel standards, the grouping covered John Denver's "Back Abode Over again" and Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors".
