Oak Ridge Boys When I Sing for Him

Before "Elvira" and "Bobbie Sue" catapulted them into the mainstream of commercial country and pop, The Oak Ridge Boys paid their dues as both recording artists and popular live performers.  The band's history was a long one, with the original Oak Ridge Quartet dating back to the 1940s.  But the birth of The Oak Ridge Boys, as we know the group, really took place in 1973 at Columbia Records.  That was when Joe Bonsall joined Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban to complete the
