Arrangement by Tim, Geoff and Voiceplay in the description of the original song... Love VPs version but Home Free elevate this to another level here

2024-04-18 17:09:45 +0000 UTCThe group started in Gospel in the 40βs and with time and personnel changes, evolved to the group you see here. I always thought of them as a four part vocal harmony group with typical country instruments in the backup band. Lead Duane Allen. Tenor Joe Bonsall - white mustache. Baritone William Lee Golden - of the beard. Bass Richard Sterban. These guys made up the group by the early 1970βs (Sterban had been touring with Elvis). And slid more into the Country genre. They had their biggest hits in the early 1980βs. They are on their farewell tour, but Bonsall had to retire from touring several months back. HomeFree is the obvious successors to The Oaks, with both their harmonies and their approach to entertaining. And it really felt like the torch was being passed with this song.

2024-04-18 04:46:10 +0000 UTCORB look at HF as younger 'them', and they symbolically passed the torch to them. HF and ORB did a Christmas song together, along with Jeffrey East - Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. If you haven't seen it yet, put it on your Christmas reaction list.

2024-04-18 04:21:26 +0000 UTCThe ORB were not a Capella. In fact, they had to switch to a different song while promoting this on ... I think it was "Late Night with Tom Snyder" because it starts a capella then music kicks in. The Oaks are pretty much past their prime now, sadly, but Joe Bonsall (the tenor) does still have quite the set of pipes on him. In his day, the bass, Richard Sterban, could have out-bassed Tim Foust without even trying.

2024-04-18 03:57:56 +0000 UTCI remember when the Oak Ridge Boys released their version. I got to meet them at a record shop before their concert in Colorado Springs. This has always been one of my favorites. And seeing Tim Foust and Richard Sterban together was worth waiting for. It looks like they had a boatload of fun doing this.
