I love Richard. His voice sounds strong and during this interview. I remember trying to hit the low note on Elvira at about age 15. In his hay day Richard’s voice was second to none. Keep laying down the bottom end Richard and know so many bass singers have looked to you and you set the bar high.
My first listen to Richard Sterban was when he sang King Jesus and Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus. What a great memory of some great harmony.
Love this guy. We used to live not far from him in Hendersonville back in the 80's and 90's. Would see him twice at a boot store on Gallatin Road at Center Point. He is a really nice person who had always kept his personal life very private.
Awesome story!, Have always liked Richard & his bass voice, the best sounding bass voice in my opinion, & it's plenty low enough, J.D. Sumner is my all time favorite bass singer, seen the Oaks in concert 4 times, they put on an awesome show! All 4 of the Oaks are super nice men, I grew up liking bass singing & Richard had a big influence on my own voice, I'm no singer, lol, I wish I was, but I have a deep though, thanks to J.D. & Richard! 👍✌️
What an amazing gentleman and the history of Richard Sterben's start of singing career! I've read his book 'From Elvis to Elvira '. And it is an amazing book to read!
