    This group The Oak Ridge Boys and another group The Statler Brothers were big mainstream Gospel groups for decades before moving to secular country music in the 1970s! Both groups were known for their awesome harmonies and have many more songs for you to explore!!
    In the future with either group the music video and live versions are what you want to react to as they are entertainers as well as awesome singers!

    Richard Sterban - the well-dressed one in the suit and tie - is the bass, and is one of the most recognized bass singers in country. Before he joined the Oaks, he was part of the Stamps Quartet who sang backups for a guy called Elvis Presley.
    For Jordan's passion, Richard was also one of the original investors of the Nashville Sounds, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

    This brings up bittersweet memories for me. My dad would take me and my sisters to get pizza and the restaurant had a juke box. He would let us play some songs but we always played this for him. Thought it was his favorite. Years later he said it's a good song, not his favorite but he never sad anything because he was proud his 6-10 year old daughters weren't selfish and thought of him too. He passed in 2019, song still makes me tear up.

      I feel the same. Went to a baseball game Atlanta Braves, special day with my Dad. Between innings they played this song and Dad started dancing acting a fool. I was horrified before turning around and seeing the whole second deck dancing and acting a fool. It was a moment to remember with Dad who passed in 2010.

There was this bar I used to roll into on my Harley when I was in the Navy, and there was this one woman that every time she heard this song she went to long lengths to make sure everybody in the bar knew that she just hated this song. She was a trip. A lot of us waited till she was drunk and made sure that we put the song on just to get to her, it was hilarious to hear her scream from the other side of the bar and get so upset.

    Everyone, and I mean everyone, would sing along with the line, "Ump bappa, ump bappa mau mau"! You're wrong Jay. The deep singer is the dark haired guy with no facial hair! Shocking right?

    I really wish you would have watched a live performance because I would have loved to see the look of shock on Jay's face when he realized who was singing the low bass notes (Richard Sterban).

  • @heinleinreader
    @heinleinreader Před 5 měsíci +3

    Actually, the guy second from the right is the bass. The guy with the big ZZ Topp beard is the baritone. It's not always the biggest guy that does the bass. Look at Pentatonix. The biggest guy is Scott, the blonde, who's their baritone. The original bass, Avi, and their replacement bass, Matt, both are shorter and leaner than Scott.

    Everyone loves “Elvira.” The deep base is the young guy, not beardo! There was a sitcom, “Mike And Molly” and Mike had a tape stuck in the cassette player of his car. Of course it was the Oak Ridge Boys. In a hilarious scene all the men of the show were in the garage working on the car and singing “Elvira!” You should check out the show sometime. Another great country tune from the same era is Brookes & Dunn, “My Maria,” a favorite of my late wife.

  • @Eric4471066
    @Eric4471066 Před 2 lety +19

    This song was the Oak Ridge Boys' very first country-crossover hit of the early 1980s. The song went all the way to hit #1 on the Billboard Country chart and it peaked at the #5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks in a row during the summer of 1981. This song was a monster hit indeed!!! By the way, the guy singing with the deep voice is not the guy with the white beard. The third guy on the right with the black suit is the one with the deep voice.

    I think many children have a song that they can somehow relate to at a very young age. Elvira was that song for my nephew when he was three years old. I can still see him in front of the stereo dancing and singing "Elbira" - such a great memory. J&A - Maybe one of your children will pick up this catchy tune and it will produce many fun and special memories too!

    Back in the days when the Billboard Top 40 included different genres of music, a track like "Elvira" which was a huge #1 country record could cross-over to the Pop chart and do well. "Elvira peaked @ #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981 and won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Group.

      A great pick for Female Friday is one of the first and biggest crossover hits of the late seventies "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" by Crystal Gayle. A month at number one on the Country chart, three weeks at number two on the Pop chart, only kept from number one by the second-most overplayed song of the Seventies, "You light up my life" by Debbie Boone. (Most overplayed was "Love will keep us together" by The Captain and Tennile.)

    After their GREAT concert, we (spouses/dates of the execs) were getting some drinks in the back of the room while the execs had a "meeting." The Oak Ridge Boys ended up joining us . . . and they were the NICEST guys!! All of them were down-to-earth.

    ALSO - The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album (1982) is EXCELLENT and one of my Top 3 Christmas albums of all time. I would recommend listening to the WHOLE thing, nearer that time of year. :) But I definitely recommend taking a listen to, 'Thank God for Kids'.

    "Elvira" was a crossover hit. We took to the dance floor at the club when it started playing. And when Richard's deep voice came in ... WOW! Richard Sterban, BTW, is the bass man with the shortest hair in the picture standing next to the guy on the right with the long hair. If you like bass voices, give a listen to "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Crystal. I think he's a one-hit wonder from the 60s but I could be wrong.

    First of all, The Oak Ridge Boys are a wonderful group to deep dive into. They have so many great songs, some very country, others more modern country. Alabama is another great band along the same lines as ORB. If you'd like to hear an incredible deep voice you have to try Josh Turner; I'd suggest Long Black Train, but Would You Go With Me is a very close second.
