The Oak Ridge Boys
The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the best-known
country and
gospel bands in
United States. They began their career as the
Oak Ridge Quartet in
1945, singing gospel music and becoming popular during the
1950s. Their name was changed to the Oak Ridge Boys in
1961, and remained a predominantly gospel-oriented group until the late
60s, when they changed their image somewhat and concentrated more on country and
pop music. By the
1970s, the band's lineup had become more or less consistent: lead singer Duane Allen, tenor Joe Bonsall, baritone William Lee Golden, and bass singer Richard Sterban.
They are best known for their hit song "Elvira", from when they were performing in the 1980s.
