It hits me like a ton of bricks when I come to realize I lived through these days. Im 59 now and it seems as time stood STILL when I clicked on to hear THIS timeless song....thank you Oak Ridge Boys and may Joe RIP 🥲✌️
Such a classic song, everything is so blended to perfection. Nothing today doesn't even compare to this. I'm so fortunate that I grew up on this music.
Absolutely love this song just always loved the harmony between all of them and the band is amazing especially the pianist this song always lifts me up when I’m feeling a little down it’s just simply beautiful
gindy williams, you are so right! I got to see the Oakridge boys live in concert, and shook hands with Williiam Lee Golden. My mother never paid Oakridge boys are/were a GREAT band, and they ALL had lots of talents, and they sang so well together. Claudia H.
This live version is absolutely amazing. The string section from the record is not there, yet it's not missed, due to the great musicianship, and amazing vocals. I grew up with this and it stands up so well and could be a hit today.
I'm with you on that comment my friend 👋!!!! I love these guys, that harmony is out of sight!!!!! Wish that I could see them one time in concert!!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok?!!!!! Much love from Bunn NC 💖👋. Be blessed and safe 🙏.
@@arethawhite3712 I've been a fanatic fan of the Oaks since Ya'll Come Back Saloon. I have attended 5 Oaks concerts, 3 of which were their Christmas concerts. They always give 1,000%, and the Christmas concerts are beautiful
One of the Oak Ridge Boys' best tunes--I really miss going to see them perform live. I was also very sad, when I heard about Skip (their guitar player) passing away, so soon after Don Breland ( the bass player) passed away.😢
Oh my God this is a truly beautiful song, this song really says it all. About a man losing his wife, and waiting to be with her again in heaven. This song always makes me cry, this song reminds me so much of my mom and dad, and the life they made together. My mom married at 16, and my dad was 22. They have been married 53 yes. Mom dad I love both of you so much, and I'm honored to be your Son thank you both for loving me so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have seen these WONDERFUL men LIVE many times back in the late 70's and early 80's...in fact I was (my claim to fame) IN THE SAME ELEVATOR with Dwayne once lol I was like HOLY SHIT! He was super POLITE!
I've just recently come across this Song..first time hearing the lyrics. I wanted to hear a deep bass voice. 💩 Fine tuning...👂 Fellas!!! That's a Great sunny song. 😇 my appreciating thoughts to you.
@@kevinmiller6324 I was thinking of their 1990 cover of the Righteous Brothers hit "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," but he only did the spoken part at the end.
I don't understand why the comments are turned off on the videos by the Oak Ridge Boys, but either way. I'm 44 years old and can remember it was a toss up over the Oak Ridge Boys and Statler Brothers that was my grandmothers favorite band. Friday evenings when hee haw was on, or if her radio was on. Everything would stop when either one of these bands were playing. She passed away in 2015, and everytime I hear one of the ORBs or Stats songs I'm reminded of this. Both of these bands are timeless.

Okay, so obviously this song is made for a bass lead, but Richard had such a beautiful voice, and he was clearly enjoying himself with this one. Why wasn't he given the lead on other singles?
@@mikeryan9096 Yeah, I love that song the famous " Elvira" one of my favorite songs by the Oak Ridge Boys!!!!! I have the same CD with that on it. Awesome harmony, and the guy with that popular bass voice, I love!!!! They lost a member of the group this year 😢, he was 77 years old. God bless his soul 👼 RIP.

@@arethawhite3712 Which member of the Oak Ridge Boys passed away?? I know 2 guys in the band died--Skip, the guitar player, and Don Breland, the bass player. I think you're confusing the ORB with the Statler Brothers--they lost a member of their group this year, Harold Reid.
@@Johnny-jw1iz Richard and JD both sang with Elvis as part of the Stamps Quartet back in the 60s. Richard once spent twenty minutes giving an interview talking about his time with Elvis.
@@kevinmiller6324 I seen that interview and you are absolutely correct about Richard beginning his career with Elvis.You know Richard is from New Jersey as was Eddy Rabbit.im not a jersey fan at all but these two were awesome.i honestly believe JD could get lower on the bass than Richard but Richard had a better voice as a pure singer .Both were awesome,it's difficult to compare greatness! Enjoy your evening and God bless you.
One if my favorite songs by the Oaks. But damn ........ how fucked up is William Lee.. ....is like moving in slow motion compared 2 the others........sleepy eyed lookin' William Lee......gotta love the 70's

Wonderful, the bass voice is out of this world.

A classic beautiful county gem!! Take me back to those great days.,,,
Back when country music was truly country music. Music these days sounds horrid, screaming like a rock n roll song
Greatest bass singer ever....Richard Sterban!
Without a doubt

The 'Mountain Man' looks completely different without his trademark beard and long hair.

2019 and they are one of the very few groups who are still together and sound good together and whose voices haven’t changed!

O. R. B. is still touring to this day, despite being in their late 70's to early 80's. They sound just as good as they did when they were younger.
Never heard this song before.
What a beautiful song and with Richard Sterban's voice, I'm just going to Dream On! 💖💖💖

Fantastic Singing, ORB- Joe, Duane, William and Richard.
Yes gindy williams, I love the way this vido begins with the piano player.I LOVE ALL of the Oakridge Boys songs. I could listen for hours.
This song was originally done by the Righteous Brothers. Love The Oaks version. Garland playing the keys is cool. Great song.

SueBeaWho they are very nice and polite men! Wonderful harmony!
I've met them several times at their fan club open houses when they used to to have them, and they are just as nice as they are talented.
From South Sudan🇸🇸💙 I love country music.
I sang this song to my 38 old daughter Amanda in 1983 and 1984 GREAT MEMORY :)
Richard Sterban just turned 79 years old. 🥂🍾
Love it!
Awesome song
Bt the 2nd verse the high harmonies catch up then your listening to just raw talent love to hear music undoctored just talent
Rip Joe you'll be missed for sure......i know the rest of them are stunned.......
One of my all time favorites!
Very interesting - it's a little unusual to see this much movement from Richard during his performances. He was really into this one!
Yeah I’ve seen them live. He gets more animated when he gets to take a lead. Being on tv helped here too I’m Sure
Richard Sterban does a good job, for singing lead.
Haven't heard this song in years. My dad used to play this for me when I was a little girl back when times were better
So love!
The Righteous Brothers also sang this song. Very popular on pop music stations. Love both versions
My husband's personal fav write ORB song.
One of the best songs by ORB
I LOVE this song!
I've just recently come across this Song..first time hearing the lyrics. I wanted to hear a deep bass voice. 💩 Fine tuning...👂
Fellas!!! That's a Great sunny song. 😇 my appreciating thoughts to you.
Saw them in concert 1983.
Richard Sterban has the sexiest bass voice ever!
The only O. R. B. hit that prominently featured lead vocals by Richard sterban. R. I. P. Joe!
He had the lead on another one, during the brief period after William Lee Golden left.
@@nolanboles8492 What song was that?
@@kevinmiller6324 I was thinking of their 1990 cover of the Righteous Brothers hit "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," but he only did the spoken part at the end.
Bed of Roses and Down Deep Inside.

Old Righteous Brothers song right there, which actually makes it a cover song for the ORB.
Richard Sterban and Tim Duncan -- the two best bass singers ever.
The Mighty Oaks!!!!
I was 12 looking out window of school thinking of the song.
Okay, so obviously this song is made for a bass lead, but Richard had such a beautiful voice, and he was clearly enjoying himself with this one. Why wasn't he given the lead on other singles?
Yes
They certainly hit a new strata with "giddy up omm poppa omm poppa mow mow"

He always got one lead on each album, but this was the only one that was a hit. Doesn't seem fair, does it? I guess the producer makes the decision.
Joe was a phenomenal band leader.
so true

You wrote a great song, sir.

2:13. Fucks sake, scared me to death!
Richard is an amazing bass. I love their version of this song even if this performance was when they were without the ZZ Top looking guy
William is there. He's to Richard's immediate right.
@@joshuabrooks4907 i never saw him without the beard. Thanks!
Yeah I think William Lee Golden, in the hat started growing the beard the very next day and hasn't shaved since lol
So I thought they were going to sing dream onAerosmith lol but good song tho
Well really I can’t remember if he is Joe or Richard. Sorry. He is a great leader and singer
Years

That is definitely William and that is how he always looks. it’s just the way he is. Also, this was actually 1980.
Look how hard Richard is trying to get a higher voice
Can't do it, can he?
Dream of better
joe looks funny without the perm .
awesome except for the piano completely overpowering Richard Sterban at the very end.
I just asked my Alexa device to play Oak Ridge Boys and this is the first song that I heard. Its been forever since I last heard Dream On.
