You’re probably going to feel embarrassed when you figure out that Austin Brown is the voice you were so impressed with. Didn’t he have such a baby face!?! If you check out some of Austin’s earlier solo work on his channel, you can see the shirt he’s wearing framed and hung on the wall in his music space. The Oak Ridge Boys are iconic and this song was a “crossover” (played both on rock and country stations). The ORB stated that they felt as if they were passing the baton to another generation.
This is a great collaboration between Home Free & The Oak Ridge Boys. "Elvira" was a huge hit for The Oakridge Boys in 1981. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a younger version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys.
Tim borrowed the previous arrangement from Geoff but then tweaked it to fit better with the Oak Ridge Boys.
The passing of the torch….Oak Ridge Boys to Home Free. All smiles, they were all enjoying this. Home Free often performs this live. I think you would really enjoy the Home Free collaboration with Kenny Rogers for Children Go Where I Send Thee. Thanks for a great reaction Nick, your reactions are always great and you have become a favorite of mine. Thank you Lori for recommending this one. Have a great day all!
The Oak Ridge Boys were one of my favorites growing up in the 80's. The were formed in 1943 and have gone through many members. But in the mid 70's, they moved from Sothern Gospel to Country with primarily the same line up since that time frame. They have 17 number one songs on the Billboard charts.
That young man with the long hair, is a much younger Austin Brown of Home Free. He is such a baby face back then. To see him back then and to watch him now, seems like two different people, but that's him. The one who seems to have changed the least through the years is Rob. Love the reactions.
At Christmas, check out “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem” with Home Free, The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East.
Elvira was recorded with Columbia records. Home Free has been independent for over 5 years.
In 2020, HF ran an $200,000 IndieGogo campaign to produce a one hour Christmas special. This replaced their annual Christmas concert tour.
The Oak Ridge Boys were guests on the streamed show. So was the best selling country band from the 1980’s, Alabama.
Home Free has produced some excellent Christmas songs.
“Do You Hear What I Hear” and “O Holy Night” are great.
“Go Tell It on the Mountain” with Texas Hill is a country fav.
And their originals “Full of Cheer” and “Cold Hard Cash” and “Snow Globe” are worth a listen too.
Oh yes, their collab for Beautiful Star of Bethlehem is fabulous!
You have seen that young man ( Austin) before. He is the redhead with a beard now. He was the second singer in Unchained Melody.
This is a fantastic collaboration with these two groups. You can just tell how much respect they had for each other.
It's funny, Austin has changed a lot since the sing off, and Rob hasn't aged a day. 😂
Shout out to Tim Foust, Geoff Castellucci, and VoicePlay for the beautiful arrangement of this song.
Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t checked out the live Voiceplay version of Elvira live at the Gordon performance centre! Shows off their live talents and just their hilarious stage presence! Such a shame they don’t tour much now. Would love to see VP and HF do Elvira together that would absolutely slap!!! Austin/Eli/Cesar raising the roofs and Tim and Geoff bringing it to the basement and Adam and Layne playing battle drums 😂😂😂
The Oak Ridge Boys have always been huge in the country scene. Seeing them together with Home Free is fantastic.
Elvira was a big hit for the Oaks. The boys did a great job here. Tim has lots of fun with this song when they tour. He gets the audience involved and he’s goes really low. They sing another song with them called Star of Bethlehem. Great reaction Nick!🥰
The Oak Ridge Boys group is in both the Gospel Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Absolute legends. ORB just recently announced their final tour before they permanently retire. The current four have been together about 50 years.
Home Free has had Elvira in their concert setlist for a long time. They included it in last month’s European tour. They encourage the audience to sing along, and they play up (or is it down?) Tim’s bass.
That was Austin Brown with the high voice. I love them all but Austin’s voice is my favorite.
This is the first song that I heard from Home Free! Heard it……..loved it……..the rest is history!!! #homefryforever 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
They guys in Home Free are Tim Foust bass, Rob Lundquist lead tenor (beard and glasses), Chris Rupp ( ball cap) the founder of the group and baritone, Adam Rupp beatboxer extraordinaire and Austin Brown sky high tenor (long curly hair). Growing up Tim always wanted to be Richard Sterban the bass from The Oak Ridge Boys and now he's singing with him. After this The Oak Ridge Boys became their mentors and have done many things with them. Enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
Interesting, that young man with the high voice, and The Oak Ridge Boys t-shirt from a concert he added as a boy, is Austin Brown.
He’s been in all the Home Free videos you’ve reacted to. He sang lead in the second half of “Unchained Melody”.
“End of the Road”, “My Church”, or “Mayday” are good songs featuring Austin.
Great reaction!! The guy you didn’t know is young Austin Brown .
The Oak Ridge Boys are Mentors to Home Free.Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys sang another song together with Jeffery East called Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem.
The Oak Ridge Boys are a Country/Gospel group started in 1943 in Oak Ridge Tennessee with the name Oak Ridge Quartet became popular Southern Gospel Singers in the 1950’s.Their group name changed to The Oak Ridge Boys in the 1960’s they sang gospel till the 1970’s then changed to country/gospel.They released Elvira in 1981
Here’s a list of the Oak Ridge Boys
Duane Allen (lead singer) sitting next Rob
Joe Bonsall ( Tenor) next to Austin
William Lee Golden (Baritone) White long beard
Richard Sterban (Bass) Sang as bass for Elvis for 2 yrs 1971/1972
I got to see The Oak Ridge Boys in concert in my teens and aging when I was 40 and they were wonderful both times. I was so happy to see they did this with Home Free. Thank you for reacting to Home Free.
This is an iconic song by the Oak Ridge Boys and it was very cool to hear the guys do the song with them! They looked like they had a lot of fun with them, you can tell!❤❤
Hey Becki, a fellow Hacker, John from Jeff's channel. Have you listened to Home Free collaborate with Don McLean with the 50th anniversary of his song American Pie?
Nick, the Oaks are legendary in Gospel & Country
In years past I always loved the Oak Ridge Boys. This collaboration with my favorite group HF, is a real treat!
I've always loved the Oakridge Boys and of course Home Free, this collaboration is outstanding
Thanks Nick. 🍟
"That young man with the high voice and twang" was Austin Brown! He was younger then but had that killer voice!
I forgot how much I liked this arrangement! So fun to rediscover this song through you :)
The bass for ORB's sang backup for Elvis. ❤❤
Having grown up with great bands singing harmony like Alabama and the Statler Brothers has made me such an admirer who so enjoys the a cappella groups like Home Free. It is just magic to me when voices harmonize so perfectly. Wouldn’t it be great if we all tried to live in harmony?
Thanks Nick. Love how you appreciated Alabama, even the years of facial hair growth. 🎶🥰🎶
The boy with long curly hair is high tenor Austin Brown from Home Free, you know him already, he just looks really young here!
This is so awesome. You see how much fun they had doing this! Great collaboration. Love your reaction!
Thanks so much!!
The Oaks had a hit with this 1981! Home Free are the mirror image of the oaks just the younger generation!! The Oaks became friends and mentors to home free! Listen to their collaboration at the Christmas concert a couple of years ago singing “Oh beautiful Star of Bethlehem”!! Both groups respect each other’s abilities! Jeff Castellucci was on the sing off around the same time as home free… Many of the a cappella groups have become friends during their Careers!
Austin Brown's the long redhead guy, Tim Foust is the vocal bassist, with Adam Chance (who came in after Chris Rupp who's in this video) sometimes being bassist. Rob Lundquist is also a tenor, with Adam Rupp being the band's vocal percussionist. Side note: Adam Chance was also in an a capella group called STREET CORNER SYMPHONY, "Madness" and "Royals" among their cover songs.
Great reaction! Austin had that autographed t-shirt framed...and it's on display in his home!
I loved your reaction Nick Thank you. What a great song to still be good all these years. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Oak Ridge Boys are legendary. Their collaborations with Home Free are simply terrific - the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are amazing. They have another collaboration with Jeffrey East & the Oaks "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" that's just gorgeous. They've also appeared with them at the Grand Old Opry. Home Free's first 2 or 3 CDs they were under contract to Columbia - they bought out the contract around 2015 or 16 and have been independent since.
William Lee Golden is the guy with the long beard. He is from Brewton Alabama originally. It is located about 15 miles from the Florida state line so it is about as southern as you can get. I married a guy that lived just over the line and even though Golden lives in Tenn now he is still claimed as one of Brewton's own.
Classic Oak Ridge Boys with our boys Home Free! Wow!
I saw Home Free about a year ago...Great in person.
These 4 members of The Oaks have been together since the mid 70s, aside from the bearded one leaving for a short time, and returning. At the start of this year, Joe Bonsall, the guy with the amazing tenor voice, announced that he was being forced to retire, due to health reasons. He had been battling a slow onset of a muscular disease, that finally took its toll on him.
I remember this song so well; the ORB were one of my favorites and have many great songs so dive in!! Joe Bonsall (ORB tenor) sounds just as good here as he did in the 80s--it's incredible!!! Thanks for a great reaction
Thanks for listening
The Oak Ridge Boys were the first country band I ever liked and it was their four-part harmonies that got me. They sound amazing! In this video I love watching the 2 basses doing call & response back and forth, and then the one guy wearing the Oak Ridge Boys t-shirt going all fan-boy and taking a selfie during the video and getting them to sign his shirt, it's priceless.
The high voice is Austin Brown of Home Free. He is a high tenor.
Pentatonix was presenting a lifetime achievement award or something to The Oak Ridge Boys at the Country Music Awards a few years ago and did a snippet of Elvira...got a standing ovation
It's on TH-cam
The Oak Ridge Boys are from the 70s-80s area. Their ages range from mid 70s to mid 80s. This is their song and they recently went on a mini tour together as the ORB passed the baton to HF to carry on their type music. Great reaction!
Of course you know who he is! Baby-faced Austin!
Chris Rupp said they had everyone present girlfriends, wives and crew join in on the Elvira to add more volume. And Austin Brown got the t-shirt at a concert he went to when he was young.
"Just jiving off each other and ricochetting"--very nice turn of phrase! Word art
This really gives me the sense of "Home Free Past" meeting "Oak Ridge Boys future".
The ORB's bass, Richard Sterban, sang bass for Elvis Presley early in his career. Home Free definitely collaborated with true country legends on this song--and I LOVE this collaboration❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
#HomeFree #OakRidgeBoys
This is amazing song. Love Oakridge Boys. They are all so talented. Cant go wrong with these two groups.❤️❤️❤️
5:16 -- Yello "Oh Yeah"
Also used in the Limo scene in "The Secret of My Success"
Watch the original Music vid.
That young man you are referring to is Austin Brown. Now he has a beard which makes him look older. He still has the red hair.
That high tenor is Austin Brown...he has a three-octave range. The Oak Ridge Boys did this first way back in the middle of the last century!
That young man with the high vocals and twang is Austin Brown. The Bass(ment) God is Tim Faust, the other members are just as talented. Cant wait to see your reactions to all their songs. OH, and Adam Rupp, the beatboxer is KILLING it.
Now you need to check out The Oaks. They were a staple in country music for decades.
Austin is wearing an Oak Ridge Boys shirt, and the guys take turns signing it for him.
The Oak Ridge Boys bass is Richard Sterban just before he joined the Oak Ridge Boys was Back up Bass with JD Sumner for Elvis Presley
"When a man loves a woman" is one that Austin REALLY shows off his voice! Please react to that when you get a chance. Love your reactions!
The guy with the great voice and long hair (you should see it now!) is Austin Brown, the high tenor of the group. He is absolutely amazing! For some of his best work as a lead for Home Free listen to When a Man Loves a Woman, Crazy and one of their newest, Playing with Fire which he wrote. He also has his own YT channel. There's lot of great music there, but I highly recommend Bring Him Home and his solo version of Unchained Melody. (BTW, he has that shirt with the autographs framed in his house.)
The young man with long hair is Austin Brown from Home Free. He has some solo stuff that is really good too.
Insanely wonderful voices and beat boxing, and arrangement! Just great, great voices!
Adam is the only beat boxer in the whole group
The tune you are referring to in Farris Buellers Day Off is Oh Yeah by Yello.
You've seen Austin in " In the Blood." Lead for most of "man of constant sorrow," "Helpless Hoping." When 3rd guy comes in .!
SO so good! Love watching these guys And YOU!! Thanks for your time!
Thanks for watching!
That’s the long haired young guy was Austin of Homefree with baby face. Looks really different without beard. This video is older! His adams typos brother Chris as well
That's Austin - Home Free's high tenor doing the high notes.
I love that they are having so much fun in this! Speaking of fun, at some point go and check out VP doing _Elvira_ live (only phone footage, so the sound quality isn't great, but it's still worth experiencing). Brandon Turner has the better viewpoint and sound, Stacey Tee includes the bit where Geoff can't keep a straight face. HF also did this live in London when I saw them, and if you go to their community tab there's a livestream of the first three songs (much better than phone quality). Skip the first 8 mins, that's just before they come on. _Elvira_ is the third song, intro at 16m45s, song at 21m.
🎉❤,,i ❤ u for loving Home Free
That country twang and high vocals was Austin Brown, the high Tenor from Home Free and he is a country boy from Georgia. And while we're on the subject of "who's who" Please learn the names of the group and what they do. Home Fries will get feisty about the respect of it. Thanks for the comments.
Geoff Castellucci does a lot of arrangements for Home Free.
Austin let’s his twang out every now and then 😁
Lol 😂 Nick thank you again love watching through your eyes 😂
love watching your reactions
Thank you so much Vicki!
The Oak Ridge Boys made this song famous in 1981.
Damn awesome Performance❤
🤘🤠🤘
IIRC, Elvira was the name of the street. ;)
Good reaction
Nice reaction. not sure if you knew but Tom Foust helped out Geoff with his low growls, and mentored him on how to hit them
Good reaction ❤️
The beat boxers? That’s just one guy! Amazing, huh?
Since you like Christmas songs you should find some Oak Ridge Boys Christmas albums. So good!!!
Elveera? Yer killing me kid! Never heard of The Oak Ridge Boys? That's like saying Who's Madonna? Nice reaction! Thanks for sharing this classic.
Fun fact when they recorded this Tim warned the Oak´s not to stand near Adam FREAK OF NATURE Rupp because of his second nickname SPITTER 🤣🤣
Elvira is a classic old song by the Oakridge Boys. To be honest, I wasn’t a fan of the original, but I adore this version. You should, for continuity’s sake, check out the original.
Richard,the Oaks bass,left Elvis to join this group, Joe,Oaks tennor is the new guyto the group, about 40 years,
💕💕💕💕💕
Joe Bonsall and Richard Sterban are still awesome. Duane Allen's voice has gotten a bit weaker with age. The 4th ORB with the long beatd is Willim Lee Golden. BTW Richard Sterban sang in Elvis' backup group, The Stamps Quartet, for a bit before he joined ORB in 1972.
Austin Brown “BRING HIM HOME” pleaseeee 🙏
You can tell what kind of people they are when they point out Jeff did the arrangement.
Only one beatboxer!
It's Austin baby face then
Oom-papa oom-papa mow mow(pronounced like now but with the mmm in front)...ferris beuler do ow ow chk chka-chka lol nice try though
Nick, check out Korean Soul.
Not was good as the original
