The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the best-known
country and
gospel bands in
America. 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[?].
