1973 was a watershed year for American music, because the already refined sound of the Oak Ridge Boys quartet matured into the legendary four-part harmony that set the entertainment world on fire. Gospel had enjoyed their talent for years. Now, Richard Sterban's bottomless bass, Joe Bonsall's distinctive tenor, Duane Allen's resonant lead and William Lee Golden's soulful baritone converged and started a blaze that still burns in concert halls across America. This collection of gorgeous photos, sweet memories and the Oaks' own Bonsall's behind-the-scene narrative will be treasured by the group's legion of fans.
