The Oak Ridge Boys have an interesting history behind them. Originally a Tennessee country group called the Wally Fowler and the Georgia Clodhoppers, they were often asked to perform at the nuclear research plant in nearby Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to staff members and their loved ones who were restricted by the Second Word War. So often, in fact, that it led to a name change to the Oak Ridge Quartet, and a focus by the group on gospel due to those songs being the most popular in their repertoire.
After several more changes in lineup and direction, evolving from their country gospel roots, the Oak Ridge Boys started to have country and crossover hits with their 80’s lineup, including well-known and much loved songs such as "Elvira", "Bobbie Sue", and "American Made.” They only relatively recently released their amazing live album, gaining them a whole host of new fans who had never heard them before. On October 25, 2015, they found themselves inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, in the modern era artists category, during the Medallion Ceremony – well-deserved recognition for a band that’s been touring and recording for more than 40 years!
