The boys just announced a couple weeks ago they are going to finally retire and are going to play the rest of their shows in 2023 and into 2024 as their farewell tour. I'm sad as so many things changed and went away in my life but they have always seemed to have been there and been the one constant thing that hasn't changed since my childhood when my Mother, god rest her soul, got me hooked on them with her love for them and taking me to their yearly concerts in our hometown. As I am now middle aged, I also can appreciate them for being around for so many decades that they deserve more than anyone to enjoy life with the time they have left without the touring. They will be greatly missed, especially their Christmas shows.
@@AmandaHW1984 I am not surprised. I went and got tickets for me and the wife and saw them in Anderson Indiana at the beautiful Paramount theater on Nov 25, 2023 as a last hurrah becuase we wanted to see the Christmas show one last time. I booked our hotel at the best western in Anderson also. Lo and behold when we checked into the hotel, the boys were staying there too and had the buses parked by our car at the best western. Got pictures of them going to the buses and back . They had several rooms right below us. When they brought Joe out the hotel room, they had him in a wheel chair being pushed by a roadie. During the concert, he sat the whole time plus he lost a lot of weight so we knew something was going on healthwise with him. Saw them so many years and decades growing up, I hope they live long and healthy as possible to enjoy retirement as they more than deserve it.
I just wanted to wish you william lee golden a happy 85th birthday to you ❤ 💙 ♥ 😊 💛 💖 ❤ 💙 ♥ 😊 💛. You are one of my favorite singers for the oak ridge boys.
They sound way better than they did in the 80's and they were incredible then . 40 years of rehearsal and live shows have honed their singing skills. Way to go boys, you're still a class act.
Thank you Joe Bonsall for your 50 years of great music. Rest in Peace!! You will Truly be missed. Sending condolences to Joe's family, friends, and fans who loved him.😢😢
Rest in peace Joe bonsall. I wish I would've discovered their music earlier than a couple years ago. Such amazing talent in all of them. You'll be missed Joe
There is never a dull moment with The oak ridge boys. I have heard them ever since I was a kid. Y'all still have got the touch in you. William Lee Golden that beard and all has always drove me nuts I love it. I think it really looks good now great like it is and you rock with them sunglasses on. Stay safe y'all guys and may God bless each one of y'all and your families
THIS IS ALSO 85 + LOIS....AGREE W/ YOU THEY ARE THE BESTEST ONE OF A KIND.WAS SO GLAD WHEN WILLIAM LEE CAME BACK.MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA & OUR BELOVED WORLD. 🎶💜🙏💜🎵💜🎸🎸
Some 4get about Steve Sanders and him giving them there last #1 songs. Also 4 The oak ridge boys 2 not include him on there induction ceremonies is a BIG disgrace 2 STEVE SANDERS NAME.
To this day, whenever someone says, even in a totally different context, "Giddy up" i ALWAYS follow it up with an "Um pappa- Um pappa- Um pappa mow mow" !
Happy to say I saw these fellas live in myrtle beach I was a young whipersnapper my mom took me. But I remember them performing this song very clearly.
Love Elvira, always makes me smile and they seem to truly enjoy singing it. I've sat in parking lots rocking out to Elvira, paid no attention to the stares. 🤣
I love the Oak Ridge Boys ! My Grandma had them on all the time ! Always had TNN on. Country is my favorite genre of all ! Not the pop BS nowadays, sad !
Oh the memories!! My grandma was so funny back then…. She said I sure like the beat of that new song “Hell Fire Up”. 🤣. The Oak Ridge Boys sound so good 40 years later!! Amazing!! ❤️❤️
I used to stop and dance to this song every time I heard it playing somewhere when I was a kid. It didn't matter where we were, I would do it. I am now 41. This song still puts a smile on my face every time I hear it. Love, love the Oakridge Boys!!!
Just great classic country music after all these years later appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock still going strong great job people you should be amazed and proud love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go ❤❤😂 !! Joe
Wish the bass singer would have cut this hair but boyyyyy THEY ALL SOUND GREAT and look damn good. We all age and they have done well. Glad you're all still able and want to be together to perform. KUDOS!!
Just lengarady still going strong after all these years later they look great good country music at its very best job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys thanks ! Joe
Like very fine wine…every one of these gentlemen grew better with age. Thank you for this… it’s one of my favourite songs… daddy’s girls listening in the shed with dad…money can’t put a price on the joy this gave me
I was lucky enought to meet them over the years. They were very kind. My Heart is broken on the news of Joe's Death. Sending Prays to His Family, Band members and County Music.
Saw their show in Omaha, Nebraska in 1979 and it was amazing. I hope the next group of Oak Ridge Boys can do it as right as these guys. Gods blessings to them all.
Still sound good. I would always get my brother’s records out and play Elvira and Dream on. And still enjoy hearing them sing. Now my 2 and 6 year old have to hear Elvira several times a day; they especially liked the collaboration of Home Free and Oak Ridge Boys singing Elvira. Just brings a smile to my face to hear it and see my kids enjoy as well. Thank you so much for all the good memories and joy Oak Ridge Boys; God Bless and keep you all safe.
Love to see that you guys can hit all the right notes, way back in my day going out to listen to country music I made up a dance that others soon filled .. it was awesome 👍🏼
I've seen a total of 10 oak ridge boys live concerts over meny year at the Kentucky state fairgrounds and every year y'all got better and better much love to you all. This is my favorite song. God bless

Rest in peace, Joe Bonsall.
I'm so glad I got to see the guys "live."
I’m seeing them “ live “ tonight
They still “have it”!-That bass voice stills “melts lead”! ❤🎤🎼🎹🥁! Love this too much!
Richard the bass singer bet his favorite Megan Traner song is I’m All About That Bass. Should sing it with her.😊
Richard will go down in history as being in my top 10 Bass Singers in Music History. 🤍

Technically they are coming to Indianapolis Indiana June 29th and I’m going to go watch them
@@keaganburk5813 Technically nothing, the original statement said 2023 and 2024

They still sounded amazing.... WOW!!
I just wished Richard Sterban could sing as low as a bass singer as his uncle used to be. LOL
With the exception of Joe (aged 75), all these guys are in their EIGHTIES NOW 😮
Rest in peace, Joe Bonsall. You will be forever loved and missed.
40 years and it sounds not a day older than when it was first released, bravo
After 40 years they still got it . Always loved this group
I can do the bass parts like Richard sterban does and I hope that if I do it in front of him… and with him… he would be impressed and proud
So true
Bass man still has it!
Hail to the Oak Ridge Boys!!!🎉
Thank you Joe Bonsall for your 50 years of great music. Rest in Peace!! You will Truly be missed. Sending condolences to Joe's family, friends, and fans who loved him.😢😢
They sounded as good as they did 40 years ago. Sure has some wonderful memories.
There will never be another "Elviria" and only these guys can do it! THANKS for those memories!
They still have it after all these years!!! Can't get enough of that bass, tho!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mom goes crazy listening to the Bass voice
Who doesn’t ❤love that Bass voice?!
I grew up on music like this and even now at 58 years old I love it so much
Rest in peace Joe bonsall. I wish I would've discovered their music earlier than a couple years ago. Such amazing talent in all of them. You'll be missed Joe
I grew up on this song!
This is a flashback to being five years old. Richard Sterban was my first crush in life
RIP Joe Bonsall. Elvira will forever be my favorite song from childhood.
All of you guys are timeless. Will always be a part of my memory forever. And I'm 60
They've still got it after 40 years.
Them and Michael Bolton and Elton John such a shame Elton retired No auto tune just Anointed vocals and raw talent Rock on boys

Brunt some calories dancing to this song at the 23 Club in Brisbane California back in the day. You guys still have it. 👍👍
A song from my childhood. Good times. Orb still rocks!
40 years later and my 7 and 4 year olds love to sing Elvira along with many other ORB songs. That's the mark of a legendary group.
The Oak Ridge Boys Are Responsible For Getting Me Into Country Music With Elvira, They Will Always Be My Boys!!!
I got to meet them personally. As Duane dated a cousin of mine. Nicest people I have ever met. But my fav is William Golden. RIP Joe
I've been a fan since this song came out. It's still special to me.
Wow. So very thankful I got to see them perform at the Nebraska State Fair less than a year before Joe Bonsall passed away. It was an awesome show.
Saw their show in Omaha, Nebraska in 1979 and it was amazing. I hope the next group of Oak Ridge Boys can do it as right as these guys. Gods blessings to them all.
Glad to hear they are still singing for the lord for they can love to hear them sing 😊😊
One of the all time greatest bands I’m 47 now and been listening to there music since I was a kid
These guys are the best!! Love this song and I hope this gets into the Hall of Fame for whatever reason!!
Still sound good. I would always get my brother’s records out and play Elvira and Dream on. And still enjoy hearing them sing.
