This was my secret " country" pick when I was a cool hippy chick. Lol. Richard Sterban's wonderful bass addition of "Giddyup, ba oom, papa oom, papa mow mow" would blast on my parents stereo when no one was home. Pure joy!!! Joe Bonsall's rich tenor vocal so high and clear, drove this energetic performance to perfection. Sorry to see he recently passed. 💔Knew you'd love it Harri, Tennessee's finest, had your braids swinging. 😂😂 Great reaction. Wonderful selection Imadrummin. 👏👏🥁🥁 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦
I recently started collecting the Oak Ridge Boys discography. Two days later, I read Joe Bonsall (tenor singer) passed away at age 76 of ALS. Joe for me was the one you kept watching of the four. That infectious smile and energy. Thank you Joe Bonsall. RIP.🙏🙏🙏
Time waits for none of us, Imadrummin! I can't imagine being diagnosed with ALS. Classy gesture, brother, choosing this iconic tune by the Oak Ridge Boys! May God rest your soul, Joe Bonsall. 🙏
Years ago, I was walking through the assembly department of a factory I worked at, several of the lines had radios. This comes on one radio station and like a tidal wave every other radio tuned to that station and yes a lot of us sang along.
This song is on my Playlist from it being constantly being played here on the farm the whole summer when it came out. All the guys in the family tried to hit those low notes. A memorable song.
Glad you are checking out this great country gospel band. Elvira was a huge hit for the ORB in 1981. You need to check out the collaboration they did with Home Free for this song "Elvira". The Oak Ridge Boys had a lot of hits. Check out their fun song called "Bobbie Sue". Sadly we just lost their tenor Joe Bonsall a few days ago.
J.D. and The Stamps Quartet joined Elvis in November of 1971. Elvis had two backup bass singers with Richard onboard. Richard left the group and joined The Oakridge Boys in late October of 1972.
When I was 8 or 9, this song came out and I always loved it when it played on radio. It was one of the coolest songs and I loved singing along to it. Good memories!
I knew that you were gonna love this one. After your reactions to the Statler Brothers (espeically Harold Reid), the Oaks (with their bass Richard Sterban) were the obvious next group. And I just noticed someone said that Joe Bonsall had died. RIP and thanks for the music.
How would you feel about having some more "diamonds" in your ears? For me?... A Basso Profondo+love song="Dream On" (Richard Sterban, singing lead on that one). Totally fell for his bass voice with THAT song. IF you want to do it.... I'll listen. ;) Thank you for our reaction. I appreciate.
The Oak Ridge Boys actually began in 1943. They were strictly a gospel group originally. I think the last original member left in the 1960s. They switched to secular music around the start of the 1970s, I think. By the time they got famous, they were a completely different group than what they'd been for most of their previous career.
Harry, if you want another joy giving song from The Oak Ridge Boys, you really should give their song "Everyday" a listen :) Oh, and if you want more of Richard Sterban's voice, listen to their song called "Dream On" where he sings lead.
@@agnetesorensenelbom5085 Agnete, these guys formed 15 minutes away from my house. Legendary. Here is a great wiki of them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oak_Ridge_Boys Hope you find time to read about them. True gentlemen and talent off the charts. Enjoy the read.
If you like bass singers Harri, you need to check out J.D.Sumner, GUINNESS WORLD BOOK RECORD HOLDER as the LOWEST BASS IN THE WORLD! He was a backup singer for Elvis Presley and heard in many of Elvis videos and recordings. He won the GUINNESS AWARD with the song BLESSED ASSURANCE.
