Country Classic!!! They were a band from back in the day!! So good.. and so glad you found them!!
I watched your reaction to Home Free doing "Elvira." I was definitely impressed by them. I'm also impressed with you, that you went further to check out the original musicians and gave them the respect they deserve.
I’m an 80’s kid and this song and many other old country reminds me of being in the station wagon with my mom playing all these old tunes👍🏼
My fave fave fave song from my childhood!❤
Thank you so much for listening to the original, it makes a difference. I grew up listening to the Oak Ridge Boys. I LOVE home free and both together can't be put into words! Most reactors never bothered to listen to the original, you are tops in my book!
This song was originally written by Dallas Frazier, It was written about a Street in East Nashville but some assume it is about Elvira - The Mistress of Darkness.
Elvira was also known as the mistress of night. She was very famous around the time this song came out. Those are real instruments but they can also do the harmonies of accapella
To hear The Oak Ridge Boys tell it, Elvira (the song) bought them all new houses!
Love that bass "yeah" near the end.
Gives me goosebumps
In the beginning they were a gospel group
I also vote for Home Free's cover of the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall." So much fun!
My mom got my cowboy hat signed by the long bearded guy when I was a kid.
They performed at a local country music festival we had near where I live. Out in the middle of nowhere. Happens every year and features lots of artists over like 3 or 4 days.
I have a very fond memory of this song, was working in a factory and this song came on a radio station, every assembly line in that area tuned into that station and it was like a wave, you heard it from one end of that department to the other. After it was over, radios got turned down and went back to whatever they were listening to before.
The Oak Ridge Boys has been a group since 1947 and the current line-up has been together since the '70s with a few years where the baritone with the beard was switched out during the '80s with another singer. Their accompaniment is The Mighty Oaks Band. These guys are in their 70's and 80's and still touring. In fact, I saw them in concert a couple of years ago.
Oak Ridge Boys are a traditional country band.
You couldn’t get away from this song in the early 80’s. My mother LOVED it.
The Oak Ridge Boys and also the Statler Brothers were both 4-part all male harmony country groups. Home Free did a tribute song when Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers passed on, a cover of their song called Flowers on the Wall. Home Free didn't set out to be a country a cappella group but they have embraced several members country music roots and also pay tribute to the all male country groups who came before them.
Mistress of Darkness
I just watched this song being done by the Oak Ridge Boys and Home Free (a group of 4 acapella singers & a beat boxer. The Oak Ridge Boys are in their 70’s now and they still got it! They were keeping up with the youngsters 😂
He just did that one with Home Free a few days ago.
@@dagmar.6954 Oops! Thanks 😁
Home Free is a group of 5 acapella singers. Adam Rupp sings tenor quite often and although he is the beat boxer they can all beat box to some extent
@@ghstdnsr Thanks. Just discovered them a couple of months ago by a friend sending me the butt remix 😂😂
@@walkofnails2923 Check out O Holy Night, Thats one where Adam sings and guilty pleasures, with well over 200 songs, some original it took me time to catch up.
Another great song by Oak Ridge Boys is "American Made."
Glad you are checking out this great country band. You did the collaboration with Home Free for this song "Elvira". So now you can see how it was originally done. It is done at a slower pace. The Oak Ridge Boys had a lot of hits. Check out their fun song called "Bobbie Sue".
wonderful. I have always been a Big - Oak Ridge Boys fan. Another group I like is - Alabama. Both groups have always been great performers. Thanks for this wonderful video.
The Statler Brother bass singer goes even lower!
Elvira quen of the night
Oh man you brought some happy memories to me. This was a song my Dad would sing alot. He had that very deep voice and matched the one in this song. Loved this!!!!
Elvira Princess of the darkness
Homefree says this is 1of the groups that inspired them
Oak Ridge Boys brought it out!
Richard Sterban has a great bass voice! Another excellent Home Free collaboration with a country legend is Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers - really cool vibe.
Just a famous band
You want a capella you want OG Straight No Chaser
They’re not acapella. That means without instruments. They were a country group.
I loved hearing this as a kid. My aunt would play me the album. Also Dr hook, their crazy songs are the best. Penicillin penny and freakin at the freakers ball. They are so fun
It may not have been about Elvira Mistress of the Dark. But i promis you at the time most all red blooded males thought of her when this song played. 😂😂
Any band that uses "instruments" is not an Acapella band but they can harmonize like you hear with the Oak Ridge Boys. A true Acapella group uses "no instruments." Nice way to go back and see the origins of the original group and the song, Greg.
Yes they were a regular band with instruments
You are one of the only reaction channels i have seen that went to the original after seeing homefree's version. Good for you.
I am glad you checked these guys out. They have many hits. I'd like to see your reaction to, Baby's Gotta Rock It ....by The Tractors. I really, really think you'll like it.
🔥
❤
Have u listened to Alabama...FEELS SO RIGHT OR WHY LADY WHY....I think they are beautiful country songs....hello from Kentucky ❤❤
I'm not for sure.... maybe Elvira = Mistress of the Darkness. Same time period-
Hope all is good Greg try "Stevie Ray Vaughan"Life Without You " at the Capital Theater this guy had the best concert around he will blow you away. Trust me you will love this one. "SEMPER FI"DEVILDOG
if there are instruments its not a Cappella. they sing to music. a cappella is all vocals and no instruments at all. this supposedly was inspired by the name of a street in Tennessee.
Dude look up Elvira Mistress of the Dark and you'll find out mm mm wow
The Oakridge Boys are singers but not acapella.
Sounds kind of thin without Home Free. What I want to know is whether you can tell who's who in these pics after seeing them as older men. I was about 14 when this song was hot. I'm 70 now. These guys were so generous to Home Free, passing the baton to a younger generation of 'country' singers (even though Home Free isn't just country. Actually, this song played on the pop radio stations when it was new, so I guess The Oak Ridge Boys crossed over too.
You're too cute. Had to subscribe.
Alright Greg, I been watching you since Bugzy M.E.N, you picked up the bars and had your head bopping. I wanna recommend potter Payper - Filthy Free/PMW. Please give it a listen and react! Would love to see your reaction you like storys when people rap, here ya go!
Try other collaborations like teaming up with Alabama, American pie with Don McClean,
Kenny Rodgers , Etc.
Actually it is a atreet
Would you please check out
COURTNEY HADWIN “Old town road”
See how a female sings it 😉 please
dude gets lower and lower with ever verse
This version is not the best one by The Oak Ridge Boys later in years they do sing it slightly faster. 😁
Won many awards prob before your time
Original much better of course
