    Five months later, I still visit this song several times a week if not more, and the highlight of my day is my 3 year old singing along with me when this plays.

    That's great. They are my heroes! I can't remember seeing them in a video this old. It looked like they were wearing wigs! Ha-ha! I'm still a huge fan, I don't care how old they get. I forgot what Golden looked like without the beard! Duane Allen, too!

    When I was a kid, I was SOOOO lucky to have a wealth of music presented to me. it wasnt tilla fter growing up that I found out this Oak's album was a gospel album. Still sounds as beautiful as ever.

  • Thanks for this!! ...

    Thanks for this!! I first met the Oaks in 1974 and this is how they looked!! And that is the same band they had then - Tony Brown, Don Breland, Mark Ellerbee, & John Rich. What memories that brought back!! But that is definitely not 1970, like someone else said, Joe & Richard were not in the group in 1970.

    OMG, Duane looks soo different without his beard. At first I couldn't believe that was him. William Lee looks different without his beard too. I would had never known that was him. Boy. Richard and Joe haven't changed one bit. Nice vidoe.

  • This isn't from ...

    This isn't from 1970. It has to be 1973 or later, because Joe Bonsall didn't join the Oaks until 1973. Also, Richard Sterban joined in 1972, coming from the Stamps (who toured with Elvis)...as did piano player Tony Brown.

    In 1970, the Oaks would have been Willie Wynn, Duane Allen (joined in 1966), Bill Golden (joined in 1965, I think), and Noel Fox.

  • Notice the only ...

    Notice the only moustached one is Joe Bonsall - I saw a recent photo of the group (the same four members from this) and there was a direct opposite - all had beards/goatees/moustaches except Bonsall, who was cleanshaven!
