He uses a regular mic, like the rest of the guys (probably just brought up higher). As I read, a fellow band member once said, Richard never used anything that would enhance his vocals. To quote: "He's the real thing". He has enough chest strength to pull it off. Quite impressive, I must say. Good for him !!! Be natural. Yeah.
@@MissDaisyDuke01 yeah… guess I should have been more clear with that question. Didn’t really mean specific mic to make him sound “bassy” but instead just meant for this concert in 1981. It looks like they are all using the same mic and I was wondering what it was. Didn’t recognize the design. Does not look like an SM58. Could be anEV or AKG🤷🏻
I love the Oakridge Boy's as well . I've known them all of my life . I'm 63 years old now , All of them have been like my own family ! My father produced their music 🎶 since before I was born . So I have a special place in my heart for them . Please enjoy their great music ! ( HELP THESE CHILDREN )
I had privilege of working with Stars for Children Charity Concerts Dallas TX for 10 yrs-- created by the Oak Ridge Boys 1979 bringing star-studded performers together to raise awareness of child abuse & promote prevention. They're awesome even after 50 yrs on the road. Catch their Farewell Tour Schedule @OakRidgeBoys
Oaks came to London England around this time and sang on BBC Radio 2 and performed at Wembley stadium and "Where the soul never dies" went down a storm with the British Country fans!
That's good stuff that when music was music and that's when they playing my home town but we called it a city the big D Dallas Texas 😢I do miss that place but I would miss my family member more if I went back
I was at this concert. Oaks and Gatlin’s were both churning out big hits during this era. Elvira was fairly recent. It opened up a whole new world for ORB.
Yeah I should have clarified my thought. Elvira was released as a single by the Oaks in March of 1981 and I believe hit # 1 in May or close to it so the crowds in June were primed. It was not a brand new song.
