Item Description...
Overview
Follow the incredible story of the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, who, from the lean years of the 70s in Las Vegas to the glory days of the early 80s with their smash hit "Elvira," have started every big decision with a prayer, as told by long-time member Joe Bonsal, with full-color photos throughout.
Publishers Description
How do you manage to keep on going after all of these years?" "Bottom line . . . we love what we do." Follow the incredible long-lasting career of the Oak Ridge Boys, the singing legend that started as the Georgia Clodhoppers. Their history is varied and amusing, from the lean years of the early '70s (including a stint at the Nugget Hotel in Vegas, with the opening act of two elephants named "Bertha" and "Teena") to the glory days of the early '80s (including the smash hit "Elvira," Grammy awards, and appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson) and on to special private concerts for the president and his family. The versatile Oak Ridge Boys has been called "a Gospel quartet singing country music with a rock and roll attitude" and is 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. |

 | What A Great Book Mar 24, 2007 |
| This book is a must have for fans of the Oak Ridge Boys. It is well written by Joe Bonsall and has many very interesting articles about the group and its history. | | | | A wonderful look at the Oak Ridge Boys. Dec 21, 2006 |
| I bought this book last year after one of the Oak Ridge Boys concerts and I'm very happy I did. Joe Bonsall has written a great book, humorous yet moving. It explains how he came to be part of the Oak Ridge Boys and their rise to success. It is chock full of pictures and Joe has penned some witty captions as well. The early days in gospel were very informative; I, for one, had not realized how the group could be a great success in gospel music and still just a step away from starving. The only item the book does not discuss is the discord and subsequent breakup with William Lee Golden for a few years. Given the fact that the quartet is back together again with seemingly no problems now, that's probably wise. I should mention that Mr. Bonsall does not gloss over the fact that Golden was gone and there's a nice tribute to Steve Sanders as well. I enjoyed the insiders look at their concerts plus seeing how they cope with life on the road. Joe Bonsall has written quite a bit about the group and it is all very informative. If you enjoy the Oak Ridge Boys, you'll definitely love this book. | | | | An American Journey Feb 25, 2006 |
