The History of the Oak Ridge Boys Tickets

Started in 1945 as the Oak Ridge Quartet, the Oak Ridge Boys first gained popularity in the 1950s. Although their members have changed somewhat over the years (more than 29 singers have come and gone from this group!), the constant members have included Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterben.

Whereas they have always had a decidedly gospel flavor, it wasn't until they changed their sound to better reflect the country and pop music popularity of the time that they garnered a great deal of success. In fact, they received their first Grammy Award in 1970 for their single, "Talk About the Good Times."

Their popularity didn't really take off, however, until the release of their 1981 album, Fancy Free, which rose to number one of the country charts and number five on the pop charts. Their next album, Bobbie Sure, was also an instant hit in 1982, reaching number one on the country charts and number 12 on the pop charts.

The Oak Ridge Boys then began returning to their gospel roots and have been consistently releasing steady albums.
