In 2015, The Oak Ridge Boys were honored with induction into the esteemed Country Music Hall of Fame. The iconic Oaks consist of lead singer Duane Allen, tenor Joe Bonsall, baritone William Lee Golden, and bass singer extraordinaire Richard Sterban. "I feel like I can do what I do on stage just as good now as I could 20 years ago," says Bonsall." I plan to be rockin' my tail off out there as long as I'm healthy. The people who come out, who bring their families to see us, deserve everything I've got." Bass singer Richard Sterban comments, "I think our stage show is one of the reasons for our continuity. We're still having fun doing this. We love what we do. Getting on stage and bringing our music to people is still what we live for."
