Deepest condolences fro Canada to Joe Bonsalls family and friends. He is singing for The Lord now. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🕊 Your music will live on forever Joe. Thank you for downloading and the memories.
It's been 35 years since this came out! July 2028 will be the 40th anniversary. When we get there, we need to re-do this music video using smart phones so the world can see how technology progressed! Until then, please do not let these good times die.
It's not the music (well not JUST the music) it's the memories of an era of happiness and celebration that simply doesn't exist anymore. And, I don't even like country. But, that vile soul-less crap out now, makes you a fan of this music.
Hey! If you are still here, I have just one favor to ask of you. Can you tell me everything about Steve that you are allowed to share? Thank you so much in advance. God bless you always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (age 6 when this video was done)
A great tune by The Oakridge Boys. One to guarantee to get you up dancing and having fun. God Bless you Boys for all the music you've given us for 50+ years. Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏
A #1 hit for The Oak Ridge Boys on the Country & Western charts. It was the 926th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. My beloved mother saw them several years back at the Newberry (SC) Opera House.
I grew up listening to the Oaks and can't imagine a life without their wholesome entertainment and music. Saw them in Lancaster, PA one week ago. They looked and sounded fantastic. The new guy is doing a great job that is in Joe Bonsall's spot - wishing the guys and the band much love, health, and success!
What a 👍 song--too bad Steve Sanders isn't with us anymore. I've been seeing these guys in concert since the 1980's, and they haven't lost one little bit of their energy or their talent! Go Oak Ridge Boys!!!
In my opinion, as long as Steve's material is played, we keep the late beautiful precious here as much as a person in his position can be kept around still. By the way, its been 20 years now since his going forward, if only I had discovered him sooner, I love him SO much!!! (burying my head) God bless you and his family always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
I used to watch Steve Sanders on the Gospel Singing Jubilee back when I was 4 or 5 years old. It truly hurt me deeply when he left us! He was so talented!
My gosh, I've forgotten about these guys! Went to a concert Oak Ridge Concert when I lived in Salem, Oregon. I believe it was 1980... It was like spending the evening with friends!
Released in June 1988.... I remember that month like it was yesterday. There was no Spike Tv. It was called TNN The Nashville Network, and they played this video on there and also on CMT Country Music Television.
I was able to see the Oakridge boys at treasure island in Welch, mn got to shake hands with Joe at that show just he always had such an energy gonna miss that voice
I remember when I was about six years old and playing it on my record player it was the most greatest time to be in an 80s because my mom and dad, was there favorite entertainers. Now I know why they sing this song to me when i was a child! How awesomé, smart and kind they all are. That was the best time to grow up mama and papa were still here did they were happy andCarefree! Dad is 105, my mom is 103 in there blessed héavén with our creator!
Can you believe that its been 20 years now since Steve went forward, June 10th was the day, if only I had discovered him sooner, I love him SO much!!! (burying my head) God bless you and his family always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
Its been 20 years now since his going, if only I had discovered him sooner, I love him SO much!!! (burying my head) God bless you and his family always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
@@kevinmiller1985 William Lee wanted to go solo and so when the ship was finally jumped, someone had to take his place. God bless you always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
@@bonniewells9208 I couldn't second this more. If only everything that was filmed of him was online to watch. I miss what used to be here so much. God bless you always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway I ain't going nowhere feeling the way I do Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues. Gonna take a lot of river, To keep this broken heart afloat, Gonna take a lot of river Running all the live long days, Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio, Gonna take a lot of river To wash these blues away. Well, I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel There wouldn't be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel. Gonna take a lot of river To keep this broken heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river Running all the live long days Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio Gonna take a lot of river To wash these blues away. Is she in New Orleans Is she a cajun queen I wonder what she's doing now But if I know her she's got rings and furs, struggling along somehow. Gonna take a lot of river To keep this broken heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river Running all the live long days Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio Gonna take a lot of river To wash these blues away. Gonna take a lot of river To keep this broken heart afloat Gonna take a lot of river Running all the live long days Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio Gonna take a lot of river To wash these blues away
Steve is the only reason why I give this video any attention, I love him SO much!!! God bless you and those who have loved him longer than me always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (forever wishing that I had discovered him sooner)
Lord y’all, I’m getting old...I was 7 years old and loving this song when it 1st came out lol and I still love it, slow down time! #AmeisterAmericaINC🇺🇸
It’s rare to see a video without William lee golden. Like this video has the guy who took his place for a short period. I personally am glad to see William lee golden back with the oak ridge boys
i dont know a day i didnt know these guys and listen to them. my mom raised me on them, statler's elvis waylon merle willie... love these guys. legends in their own time.
I pray so hard that the Lord let Steve pick up where ever his leaving off took place, I love him so much. (trying not to cry) God bless you always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
No one misses him like I do and its because of how late I was in becoming a fan of him. God bless you and those who have loved him longer than me always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (age 6 when this song was released and forever wishing that I'd discovered him sooner) P.S. His last name is Sanders, not Saunders.
I love the Oak Ridge Boys but i'm going in to shock seeing the way they were dressed for this video. Glad those styles are behind us all! HAHAHA! God bless The Oak Ridge Boys!
Really a good video and a great song sad to see Steve Sanders knowing what his ultimate fate would be. I actually saw him on an episode of gunsmoke the other day he was quite a talented guy RIP
When I got out of the Navy in 88,a radio station had a contest where whoever could pronounce all the rivers mentioned won a prize.When I called in,they asked how I knew Monongahela and I told them it was because we'd refueled my ship from an oiler by that name and I had to mention the ships name during the "Smoking lamp is out topside while alongside USNS Monongahela"announcements.
I was never a big country fan, though somehow the 70s and 80s seemed a lot better than these days with just about everyone wrapping their music in the flag in some way. Country to me, the white man's blues, should be about lost dogs, wives, trucks, trains , and whiskey bottles... I was drawn to this song for no real reason other than it struck a chord with me and I love hearing it when I think of it!
It was on this day 21 years ago (June 10th) that the late beautiful precious leader of this song went forward, I love him SO much!!! God bless those who have loved him longer than me always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (forever wishing still that I had discovered him sooner)
Yeah, he was my favorite in the band. When he left the Oak Ridge Boys, I was so sad because he was the main reason I loved them so much. When he passed, was one of the saddest days of my life. He was a great entertainer and born to be a performer.
Its been 20 years now since his going forward, if only I had discovered him sooner, I love him SO much!!! God bless you and his family always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
R.I.P Joe Thanks for the years of wonderful music
RIP Joe You and Alabama were the two bands that introduced me to country music. A part of my childhood died today!
This song makes me want to go boating, swimming, kayaking and tubing all in a day!
Steve Sanders was so talented. I hope he's at peace now.
Deepest condolences fro Canada to Joe Bonsalls family and friends. He is singing for The Lord now. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🕊
Your music will live on forever Joe. Thank you for downloading and the memories.
R.I.P. Joe,thank you for all the years of great music, you will be missed 😢

Rip Joe you will be so missed thx for the great music 😢
Kids today will never understand what a rare treat it was when someone showed up to a party with a camcorder.
Or an Accordion!
We didn't go overboard with using them either. Nor did we try to "dox" people.
This is just a fun song
@@user-ty6do8yz4lIt's called a zydeco not an accordion.
RIP Joe
Country music will never be good as this ever again.. Thanks for the music 🎶 🎵 though the years
Grew up listening to them. Can’t believe they’re in their 70’s & 80’s now!
One of the best songs in the whole wide world
It's not the music (well not JUST the music) it's the memories of an era of happiness and celebration that simply doesn't exist anymore. And, I don't even like country. But, that vile soul-less crap out now, makes you a fan of this music.
It was a blessing for me to play and be on this video..Dewey(The Sultan of Sax)

Great musical talent but that video blows.
I found this video to be kind of hilarious. It's got good, funny music that could help cheer people up.
I haven't heard this song in years! Somehow I woke up this morning and this song popped in my head. 😁😁

R.I.P. Joe Bonsall who passed away yesterday
Over twenty years later and this one just sparkles like any modern country and gospel hit. Those ORBs just had something we haven't seen since.
Mike Wofsey. Sorry Mike new stuff sounds like excrement to me. It does to most real country music kovers!.
What modern country music? Modern country bands wouldn't know what real country is.

I WAS 7 YRS OLD. AND WHEN THEY GOT ALABAMA N OAK RIDGE BOYS ON, IT WAS TIME FIR US KIDS "TO TAKE OUR ASS*S TO SLEEP". 😆😁
And WE all wanted a camera like hers!!! Now we have phones that take better videos hahahah
Steve could have fronted a lot of country bands..restless heart comes to mind
Steinbergers and Casios all aglow - oh, what a fun nostalgic ‘80s trip!!! 😁😁😁
My reference material for the proper pronunciation of the Monongahela River.
I was able to see the Oakridge boys at treasure island in Welch, mn got to shake hands with Joe at that show just he always had such an energy gonna miss that voice
Wish people still made music like this. I remember this song and video, loved it and I still love the Oak Ridge Boys!
poor steve sanders. he had a great voice. good asset to the band!
@@Robin-zb8qy he was awesome. You could always hear is part. And he was a great lead.
Gold shades ✅ rca camcorder✅stonewashed jeans✅feathered mullet ✅the best of 88 is given proper respect right here.
And it’s all genuine, authentic, contemporary. The suspenders are killin’ me
I love this song. I love Richard Sterban. His smile is amazing. He makes me smile
I love it when he rattles the windows LOL
Ya know a smile
Never goes outta style.......

Heard this song for the first time today, and it's a Legend!! Love the Cajun Flavor!!!:)). Gonna Take A Lot Of River to Keep this 💔 A'Float!!
Love this song. Looks like they have fun.
Hello Nancy..
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I ain't going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues.
Gonna take a lot of river,
To keep this broken heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days,
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
Well, I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel.
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
Is she in New Orleans
Is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her she's got rings and furs, struggling along somehow.
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days

#AmeisterAmericaINC🇺🇸
It’s rare to see a video without William lee golden. Like this video has the guy who took his place for a short period. I personally am glad to see William lee golden back with the oak ridge boys
Yeah, a short period of 8 years.
The guy who took williams place killed himself when his wife left him
@@jameslamon116 sorry to hear that. Never a good answer.
@@jameslamon116Steve committed suicide because his ex wife kept giving him problems.
@kimolbrish4766 he was married to two girls at the sametime!
The Oak Ridge Boys had some good stuff.
Neil Ladd They still do.
Yeah they did
Oh my gosh unreal he was so good 👍

Poor Joe. A dunking he didn 't expect OR want. I had to la ugh when I saw him tossed overboard. Hope he can swi m?
The good old days
Or at least hundreds.
The chick must have known something,the way that she grabbed the camera just before he got pitched overboard.
A very cool 😎 video.
Mighty oak band is great
