Publisher's Synopsis
Follow the incredible long-lasting career of the Oak Ridge Boys, the singing legend that started as the Georgia Clodhoppers, the only outside group ever allowed to entertain within the WWII secret government installation at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Their history is varied and amusing, from the lean years of the early 70s to the glory days of the early 80s and on to special private concerts for the president and his family. The versatile Oak Ridge Boys have been called 'a Gospel quartet singing country music with a rock and roll attitude' and are as American as baseball or apple pie. The group still sings and tours, pleasing their long-time fans, and making many new fans every day. Read the inside story of a legendary quartet, told by 30+ year member, Joe Bonsall; go behind the scenes and learn about life backstage; get the scoop on the ups and downs, the disappointments and the successes of one of the greatest gospel and country acts of all time; meet the men behind the voices; and includes many, many photographs.
