Richard Sterban - the well-dressed one in the suit and tie - is the bass, and is one of the most recognized bass singers in country. Before he joined the Oaks, he was part of the Stamps Quartet who sang backups for a guy called Elvis Presley. For Jordan's passion, Richard was also one of the original investors of the Nashville Sounds, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

This brings up bittersweet memories for me. My dad would take me and my sisters to get pizza and the restaurant had a juke box. He would let us play some songs but we always played this for him. Thought it was his favorite. Years later he said it's a good song, not his favorite but he never sad anything because he was proud his 6-10 year old daughters weren't selfish and thought of him too. He passed in 2019, song still makes me tear up.

The song went all the way to hit #1 on the Billboard Country chart and it peaked at the #5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks in a row during the summer of 1981. This song was a monster hit indeed!!! By the way, the guy singing with the deep voice is not the guy with the white beard. The third guy on the right with the black suit is the one with the deep voice.

I was lucky enough to see them in concert when I was 9 or 10. My sister and I flipped out when they looked directly at us and waved!! Bobby Sue is one of my favorites by them.

Love this song. Also the version they did of this song with Home Free. The one singing bass is the dark-haired man without a beard on the right, Richard Sterban. They have been a group since 1947 and they are still touring! Ozark Mountain Jubilee, American Made, Thank God For Kids.

the original Oak Ridge Boys got together in 1947..... Before these guys could walk. Oak Ridge Tennessee was a town built to support and house the top secret nucular (atomic bomb) program. Originally a gospel group

I love that you guys finally checked this one out. Check out ‘I’m Settin Fancy Free,’ ‘Y’all Come Back Saloon,’ ‘Bobbie Sue’ or ‘American Made’ next. I think you’d love ‘Thank God For Kids’ too. The guy with the deep voice, Richard Sterban, actually used to tour with Elvis before he joined the Oak Ridge Boys.

I love that you're getting into country, but can't believe you haven't started diving into George Strait. One of the very best! I'd start with "Amarillo by Morning", but there are at least 30 great songs to pick from.

Back in the days when the Billboard Top 40 included different genres of music, a track like "Elvira" which was a huge #1 country record could cross-over to the Pop chart and do well. "Elvira peaked @ #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981 and won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Group.

A great pick for Female Friday is one of the first and biggest crossover hits of the late seventies "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" by Crystal Gayle. A month at number one on the Country chart, three weeks at number two on the Pop chart, only kept from number one by the second-most overplayed song of the Seventies, "You light up my life" by Debbie Boone. (Most overplayed was "Love will keep us together" by The Captain and Tennile.)

hahah love the reaction! This is a fun song. I love The Oak Ridge Boys so much. 'Leavin' Lousiana in the Broad Daylight', and 'Y'all Come Back Saloon' are among my favorites, also 'Come on In'. Honestly they have so many great songs. ALSO - The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album (1982) is EXCELLENT and one of my Top 3 Christmas albums of all time. I would recommend listening to the WHOLE thing, nearer that time of year. :) But I definitely recommend taking a listen to, 'Thank God for Kids'.

"Elvira" was a crossover hit. We took to the dance floor at the club when it started playing. And when Richard's deep voice came in ... WOW! Richard Sterban, BTW, is the bass man with the shortest hair in the picture standing next to the guy on the right with the long hair. If you like bass voices, give a listen to "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Crystal. I think he's a one-hit wonder from the 60s but I could be wrong.

When this song came on the car radio my kids would all do some version of "Oh, NO!" because they KNEW that Mom and Dad would be singing along and sure enough, we did. At the top of our voices. On more than one occasion even made them sit in the car in our driveway so we could finish the song before we got out. Good times!

I was taught by my dad to slowly pull the top part of grain grass out of the bottom and chew on the soft flavorfull bottom connecting part. So yeah, I walked around with wheat grass sticking out of my mouth once in a while. Deep South though? Nope. Upstate, rural New York (most of New York State is forest or farmland). "Elvira" was my song in our family. No one else cared much for the Oak Ridge Boys. I liked almost all their music. This song brings back happy memories of trying to sing the bass as a kid on the rare occasions it would play on the radio. Thank you for fun reaction.

Love you guys. I'm a metal, hip hop, and R&B head but grew with my father loving him that ol southern country. And the Oak Ridge Boys were one of his all time favorites when it came to old country. They were one of the best back in the day and are legends. I ain't heard Elvira in years since I was a kid omgosh the memories. I miss my father.
