One of the Great One's

Post by just bob »

I remember him from my youth and saw him on TV within the last 5 years. A long and glorious career.

Had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Bonsall perform live with the Oak Ridge Boys several times. One of those times my wife was pregnant with our son. Our daughter, aged 5, wanted a little sister and wanted us to name the baby "Elvira". Yes, Mr. Bonsall was indeed "one of the great ones". Though it was probably a rerun, I saw The Oak Ridge Boys on "Opry Live" recently. Joe performed sitting down but was in good voice and never missed a note. He will be missed. R.I.P kind sir.

An amazing singer, fantastic performer, and from all accounts I’ve ever read a good man. Sad to lose him.

Gospel music doesn't need music, the harmonies i quartet and groups can touch your heart.
